My Top 10 Favorite Things:
1. www.weddingwire.com You need to check this out if you are trying to find vendor ratings in your area, plan your wedding on your own, and more! Very useful wedding website tools and lots more to check out.
2. Grace Ormonde Weddings Magazine...for the most modern, cutting edge, and spendy weddings you could imagine! A girl can dream...right? We have photos in their online gallery at www.weddingstylemagazine.com that are a bit more subdued.
3. Lauren Brown Photography www.laurenbrownphoto.com and Morgan Lamare Photography www.morganlamare.com for weddings, family shoots, and boudoir…get your girlfriends together for a booty shoot bachelorette party!
4. www.stylemepretty.com -most favorite wedding blog!
5. You must try a splash of color on your feet such as red, yellow, or even powder blue!!! Long gone are the days of boring shoes. Try www.bhldn.com --stands for Beholden—Anthropology’s new Bridal Line of goodies.
6. Customized jewelry for you and your bridesmaids. Try Octavia Bloom on Etsy.
7. Girlfriends...they’ll save your life during your wedding planning. Try having a girl get together at least once a month to get out all the wedding excitement—serve $10 wine, simple appetizers and plan a meal together. Cooking together is half the fun. Visit www.morganlamare.blogspot.com and look under Assets to find inspiration.
8. Crazy fun weddings! Think outside the box, like my couple did, in our Wedding Gallery IX—a country carnival theme wedding where everything was fun and games!
9. Money left over to honeymoon? Staycation anyone? Try putting your money where your house is! There are so many fabulous retreats in your own backyard. Want to camp, but not have the gear? Try this trendy new idea that our friends at Phasmid came up with--www.phasmidrentals.com. They pack the car with everything you need to camp, fish, and play…just add YOU!!!
