Ah the dreaded wedding trends…well, at least for me. I love innovation and creativity; I just don’t think some ”trends” are for every couple or that people should try to do everything. (Does this mean I’m voted off the island?) Besides, if eveyone did the same thing we wouldn’t have all the cool, personalized weddings that […]

While we were at the wedding show last weekend someone asked me if I knew of any bridal flower preservation companies, and while I was aware of one or two, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for some research. Anyone who knows me, knows I love research*. There’s something very satisfying about sifting through […]

Here are a few pictures from the Northwest Bridal Showcase last weekend. We had such a great time, and two brides-to-be even volunteered to be photographed! They were such good sports…I just love the bachelorette style crown and sash. That’s a girl who knows how to have fun. And the flowers and veil looked so […]

We had such a great time at bridal show this weekend. Hopefully you were able to sample some good food and collect some cool freebies. If you’re stopping by for the first time, you’ll find a mix of advice, resources, a wedding and events blog (and a bit about me).
Oh, and some really good news: Garden of Eden […]

I’m a big fan of spelling words correctly (even if I don’t get it right all the time), but some wedding words really test my abilities. Words like boutonniere and trousseau (I assume I can only blame our copying the French for these ones) make me sound out each letter so I can get it right. For […]

Holy moly! I just found out that I’ve been added to the 2008 Best Wedding Blogs & The Blogs We Love List list over at Weddings In A Box. Not only is it awesome to see my site *jumps up and down and points excitedly at the screen*, I’m among some pretty fine names in the wedding blogging […]

One of my favorite charities is having a gown sale in Seattle, and if that wasn’t enough to keep you busy, there are two more wedding shows. Have a great weekend! (Oh, and don’t forget to look here for other shows in Washington State!)

   
    
We had a wonderful time, and of course, my sister rocked the runway. One of the cool things about this show is that they use real people of all shapes and sizes to model their dresses. She had the whole model face going until she saw me taking a zillion pictures and waving like a […]

I know it’s no longer 2007, but I couldn’t resist posting about Kristina & Dennis. I met them only a week before their wedding day after their previous coordinator cancelled, and they were such a fun and relaxed couple to work with. 

On August 25, 2007 Kristina and Dennis said their vows in front of 30 of […]
