I’ve had several beach brides for whom I’ve planned and designed weddings tell me that their guests are still in awe of the Message in a Bottle invitations they received! If I do say so myself, they are pretty fabulous. On top of being stunning, guests appreciate the time and creativity involved…and they’re fun! You only get [...]
I love a gorgeous wedding cake. I don’t love to eat cake, but I do respect a masterpiece when I see one. However, I think huge, overdone wedding cakes are a thing of the past! In almost 11 years as an event planner, I’ve had one wedding where every last piece of cake was eaten. You [...]
Well I suppose I should probably introduce myself! Like Jon’ette said, I’m Kelly -Kelz to her – and I’ll be working with her as the lead for her Wedding Day Coordination clients, which I am incredibly excited about! So a little bit about myself… I went to school for Creative Writing and Studio Art, which [...]
With everyone and their mother on Twitter {literally, I have MOBs following me on Twitter}, this trend is a no-brainer. Using Twitter handles on escort cards is going to be hot in 2012!

I really wanted to save this one for last, but it’s so good that I couldn’t wait! I absolutely believe that this will be THE trend of the season. Last year was all about colorful invitations. 2012 wedding stationery is all about texture…in the form of wood and lace! This season, I expect to see [...]
I couldn’t be more thrilled to find out that one of my favorite weddings {and couples} is featured on Grey Likes Weddings! Their celebration was full of love, beauty and most importantly, personality. This is the reason that I blog so much about adding what’s unique about yourselves into as many aspects of your wedding [...]
As many of you know, I’m a big believer in personalizing as many aspects of a wedding as possible. Slowly {very, very slowly}, but surely, brides are stepping away from the “I saw this on a wedding blog and want to duplicate it” mindset and getting back to showcasing what’s unique and special about herself [...]
