You had your big day, now it’s time to have the time of your life on your honeymoon. But what do you do when you lose your - ahem - bag of intimates and the honeymoon resort gives you two beds…
We are supposed to learn from others mistakes - so here are mine! The biggest wedding regret I had involved my mom….

My friends - I’m sharing TEN of my favorite ways to get bridal ready for your wedding day that will spruce up your mind, soul and body for your big day!
As a wedding planner, I see many wedding mistakes that are made time and time again by guests. No one wants to be the person who sits in the wrong pew or the wrong table. From making sure you’re dressed appropriately to knowing when to call the open bar drinks quits, we want to prepare you to be the #1 guest at each and every wedding you go to, so here are 10 common rules that all wedding guests should follow.
Gal Pals, Girlfriends, Besties, BFF’s, Soul Mates, Your “Person” - we have so many names for the women who just get us. No matter how you met, whether it was in the second grade, high school theatre class, college, in line for camp, or the little league basketball team, we have our people, our friends, some might even say our tribe.
While preparing for a new life with someone we should want to lean on them, practice what life will be like when we’re officially married, support one another, and learn how to manage conflict. However, I see time and time again brides and grooms waiting until after they’re married to discuss the tough stuff, the hard stuff, the REAL stuff, that will impact their marriage.
If there were ever any doubt that Hugh Grant’s charm is indestructible, his character’s best man speech in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” should serve as the final proof. There are only a few rules to follow when giving a wedding speech, like to avoid the word divorce and to withhold family secrets, and Grant breaks them all. Though he does so while wearing dopey glasses and sweetly stuttering, so we forgive him. Similarly, in the movie “Old School,” a drunk Luke Wilson gives a successful speech only because Vince Vaughn swoops in and saves him with Shakespeare. So, what can we, mere mortals of the real wedding world, take from all these outlandish, unrealistic Hollywood examples? Here are five tips from on-screen weddings to make your own speech Oscar-worthy:
I walked into my closet, unzipped the dress covering and stared at it. “Maybe… I can just try it on once” I thought to myself, giddy with excitement. I shimmied down to my skivvies and wiggled my way into the layered dress. Working the dress down I looked in the mirror and thought “Dang, I look good.”
Many brides, including myself when I was planning my wedding, feel overjoyed when they book with a venue that comes with an onsite coordinator. They think “oh good! Now I don’t have to worry about who will set up my tables, tell me when to walk down the aisle and talk to my vendors.” The problem is - that isn’t what the onsite coordinator’s job is.
It’s amazing to think this was only 365 days ago. While Jacob and I have been together for over four years now, I have learned far more in our first year of marriage than I did in three years of dating him. Everyone told us we would grow more than we thought we would during this first year, but as naive as we were, we didn’t think much about it until reflecting back on the year.
When I was engaged and heard the words “wedding planner”, my mind conjured up an image of a woman in a pastel pantsuit with a clipboard, a checklist of things I didn’t care about, and big price tag above her head. Because of that, I decided to forgo the wedding planner or day of coordinator while I planned my wedding, and while I thought my wedding was awesome, I know for a fact I would have saved sooooo much time, money, stress and arguments with my mom if I had invited someone to help us plan.
But let's be real. Budgeting is hard. Especially when you want every aspect of your big day to be nothing but perfect. Normally brides feel that they must forgo their "perfect" day for a slightly sub-par version of it in order to stay in their budget. Well, have no fear! Here are 10 easy ways to save thousands of dollars (just going with #1 could save you upwards of $3,000) on your wedding day and still create your perfect Pinterest wedding.
