Do you want your guests to have a unique experience at your wedding? Think about having a specialty vendor create something for them!

Let’s talk about color! I LOVE that Channing and Kyle chose to use so many beautiful colors for their wedding day. With a venue like City Club where there is already color, you may feel like you need to stick to neutrals, not true! You can totally embrace the color scheme of your venue and […]

I love when the ceremony and reception are all in one place. It means that we get a little more time for photos because we don’t have to worry about transportation and driving time. After the ceremony I got to spend some time with this super fun wedding party before going into the reception. Lauren […]

Hollis and Joey and all of their friends really know how to party.  Once the dancing began, it didn’t stop!  I think one of my favorite dancing moments was when Joey and all of his groomsmen did a little performance to a Back Street Boys song and then Hollis joined in right at the end.  […]
