There may be no more iconic item at a wedding than the bride's white gown. This tradition is one which has spanned centuries and is synonymous with the importance of the day. Finding the perfect dress is indeed one of the most cherished aspects of the wedding preparation. And although brides have been playing with the style of the wedding gown for years, usually with varying lengths - it is only in the last few years that we have seen colored wedding gowns walking down the aisle.
As is often the case, the fashion designers are the ones on the leading edge of the trends. Since 2014, we have seen an increasing number of non-white dress styles. So the question is, would you be willing to buck custom and opt for a nontraditional wedding gown? Read More about Colorful Trends in Wedding Gowns »

Working with brides to create their wedding bouquets is a very special honor. Flowers are highly personal, and we love to help couples to discover the perfect floral combination to fit the desired style, color scheme, and vision. Although many brides love the traditional flowers like roses, lilies, or orchids, often we meet the bride looking for something completely different and unconventional. The floral world is unique in that it is overflowing with colors, textures, and breathtaking aesthetics that you do not see every day, and they make stunning bridal bouquets. If you are a bride that thinks outside the box and is known for a creative flair, consider some of these bouquets that offer alternatives - or striking additions to - traditional flowers.

As weddings evolve, the need for traditional items such as a seating chart may not be necessary for every event and venue. However, if you have a classic sit-down dinner planned and you find yourself staring at your confirmed guest list wondering how to make everything run smoothly - this blog is for you. Because seating charts cannot be created until after your RSVPs are in, the timing of the task - when you already have a full plate - can cause some stress. And while we'd all love to think our family and friends will get along beautifully, some strategy may be required. Read More about Taking the Stress Out of the Seating Chart »
