Talk Bombshell To Me

We all know that being a bridesmaid is a blessing AND a curse. Buying a dress that 1. you don’t like and 2. UGH that price tag though! We all know that sometimes being asked to be in a wedding is extremely frustrating. However, when your best friend asks you to be in her wedding it’s hard to not feel honored! She loves you and wants you by her side for the most important day of her life. Please be seated class! Remember that she might be stressed out, and don’t take it personal. She may be stressed because everyone is in her ear telling her what she should do. Ask her if she needs help and most likely she will need it, but might not want to ask. You may not care about all the details, but she does! A good friend will shut up about her wanting paper flowers instead of real ones and help her make “said” paper flowers. She will change her mind at least a dozen times. I am SOOO guilty of this. In this day and age with pinterest, instagram, wedding blogs, and facebook i

For this #WeddingWednesday we are doing things a bit differently. My husband Dan, wanted to write this post from his point of view. (HOW CUTE IS THAT?!) Here is what he had to say about our day: “Before the ceremony I felt very excited and nervous (good nervous). I was drinking with my groomsmen on the porch waiting for the ceremony to start. When the music started playing I felt really excited and happy. I was really curious what Amy’s dress was going to look like, she had been hinting at it being camo for months. That got old fast. When she came out I was very surprised and it was very beautiful. I was extremely glad it wasn’t camo. When Amy was walking towards me I had the biggest grin on my face, and I couldn’t stop smiling, she was so beautiful. We decided to be unique and write our own vows which was very special to us. During all the excitement and happiness the officiant forgot to have us recite our vows. Luckily enough we reminded him and got to recite our

Sorry it has been a little quiet on our blog end, we were partying it up in Vegas! That is a straight up lie, :p we went to a conference called Wedding MBA. MBA stands for Merchants Business Academy. It is a 4 day conference that has speakers from around the world relay information about wedding trends, what is new in the industry, all about social media and more! Our brains might actually explode from all the information we learned. It is so crucial for us to continue to keep learning in this industry! We keep growing older, but you (our new brides!) for the most part tend to stay around the same age. We need to ensure that we are always on trend and in the midst of what is hot, right now. You don’t want some cut-rate, outdated, out of style stuff happening at your wedding, right? So it’s always a good idea to invest in wedding pros that always keep learning! This is my favorite time of year, and no, not because I’m basic and love pumpkin spice lattes and yoga pants. :

Our bride Morgan and her fiance Tim got married on July 13th 2015. Before we get to the deets about her wedding check how GORGEOUS she looked in her wedding dress: Here is what she had to say about her big day: “Thank you!!! I felt like a million bucks! Tim and I got married on Monday July 13th it was our 10 year anniversary. The number 13 plays a big part in our life. I was born May 13th, two of our fur babies were born on the 13th. We met on a 13th and officially started dating on the 13th so changing our day to a more "normal" day wasn't in the cards. My grandma embroidered my wedding date on the slip of my dress while I was getting ready. It was soooo special to share that moment with her. We had close to 100 guests who traveled from California, Idaho, Arizona, Canada, florida, and Michigan. We were married at Pawleys Plantation Golf and Country club in Pawleys Island South Carolina. It rained all day but that didn't matter one bit to us. We we

1. Make a list of the pictures you want and who you want in them ahead of time. This is something I really wish I would have done. You think me being a photographer I would have been prepared for this! We were so rushed and I thought the photographers would just have some cute shots lined up, but I ended up missing pictures with some of the most important people. Make a list way before the week of the wedding, and make sure you aren’t forgetting anyone/or thing. Really take your time on it, because it is only one day, and everyone around you will be looking fabulous! And it’s totally okay to be super picky about pictures, it is YOUR DAY. 2. HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER The night is so short and it goes by so fast especially for the bride and groom. You miss so much of what is going on around you! I am so glad we booked a videographer, because I missed Dan’s grandpa dancing, my mother and her friends dancing and during the shoe game I couldn’t see what Dan’s answers were. I am so excite

Ashley and Matt got married on 8-8-15 and here is what she had to say about her big day! “When I woke up that morning it was raining, and right away (even though it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day) I was worried. Both our ceremony and reception were supposed to be outside, in Matt’s dad's back yard.  I ran a few last minute errands, and grabbed a coffee for the long day ahead of me. By the time my girls and I got to our hair appointment the rain subsided, and the rest of the day had a cloudy overcast. Which was perfect because it kept the sun at bay. After all my bridesmaids, mom, and I got our hair and make-up done we were off to the house to get ready! Before I knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle to say my vows. My dad passed away, so my brother walked me down the aisle in place of him. One piece of advice I was given was to take my time while walking down the aisle and look at all the faces of my family and friends, because the day goes
