As I prepare to send my last child off to kindergarten, I am also preparing myself for a change. A change that I believe will be a good one (even if I need to take a deep breath before admitting it).

We surveyed three popular wedding sites to see what trends they had predicted for this year. As you dream about your special day, here are some ideas to help.

We reflect on the moments from past weddings that kept us excited about wedding planning. These moments exhibited creativity, resourcefulness, innovation, and daring, and they made us glad to do the work we do.

The most important thing my mom said was, “Honey, this is not the ending of your engagement it’s the beginning of the rest of your new life as a wife to an amazing man. It gets even better I promise.”

When I think of all the things I have to be thankful for, it is often the small ones that have had the largest effect. 

Working with vendors who have fun in the midst of stress is a key element to providing a great wedding experience

Beach weddings have always inspired me.  They seem almost magical, especially if there is a wood arbor, some flowing linen, and a sunset. 

2016 has been a great year so far and indications are that it will continue that way.
