For me this was a no brainer, this vendor is so easy to recommend to anyone reading this blog. I truly haven’t found a more experienced, responsive, and amazing hair and make-up artist like Ashley. She owns Glam Bridal Beauty and sits high on my recommended vendor list. I asked her to answer a few […]

The Excelsior is a hidden gem. I was searching high and low for a venue that was classy and elegant but not stuffy. Slightly historical but not ornate. Various  hidden areas for pictures but yet had a great flow to the day. I honestly can’t tell you exactly how I found The Excelsior because I […]

My friend, sweet Lauren, is the head boss lady at Lauren Perry Studio. There is literally nothing this girl can’t do. I can come to her with this super vague idea and when that invitation suite gets shipped to my house, it is exactly what I had pictured! Come meet Lauren and learn all about her […]

Pursuit Frederick hosted a headshot swap a few months ago (maybe a year at this point??). After it was over Brittany Thomas and I decided to grab dinner but she said “hey let’s ask Hannah to join us”. While munching on some Mexican food I got to meet Hannah and I just loved her. She talked […]

I am jumping back into my vendor spotlight series (it has been on somewhat of a hiatus while wedding season was going on)! The Silver Swan Bayside is this hidden gem venue that I recently had the chance to visit. Wow, friends, wow…the unobstructed views of the Bay! I think I have a new venue […]

Welcome gifts seem to be the new “it” thing in wedding planning & you know what? I am loving it. I could spend hours and lots of money picking out just the right gift for my friends and family. Why should your wedding be any different? Through the power of social media I connected with […]

For many brides and grooms a DJ is one of those necessary things, “ok, let’s just find the cheapest person to play music”. I urge to stop riigghhttt there. A DJ is so much more than just a music player. I always tell my clients that a DJ makes or breaks your reception. Do you […]

I have, what I like to call, a “venue crush” on The Farm at Eagle’s Ridge. The owners, Betsy and Paige, are the sweetest and there wasn’t a single thing overlooked when they created this venue. If you are looking for an upscale, rustic venue for your upcoming wedding, look no further. I asked Betsy […]

My vendor spotlight has been on a hiatus while I had some great weddings and styled shoots to show you! It’s back! The next vendor I want to highlight is someone I am working closely with on an upcoming wedding in May. Catharine Perry Design specializes in wedding branding. I will be honest, I was a skeptic […]

This is a kick-off of a series on my blog called “Vendor Spotlight”. I have worked with some incredibly talented people in this industry and I want to highlight them. I will showcase vendors from every aspect of the wedding planning process: venues, photographers, caterers, calligraphers, even jewelry designers! First up is someone near and […]
