Designers today are really pushing the envelope on dress styles by combining the perfect blend of modern fashion with classic. Looking through all of the jaw-dropping spring 2014 bridal collections, you’ll see everything from color blocking to peplum styles to illusion necklines with hand-sewn embellishments.

Shopping for the perfect wedding dress something all of us girls dream about since childhood. If you haven’t already found “the dress,” you probably have a vision in mind of what the style will look like. I always encourage brides to keep an open mind when they go wedding dress shopping. While a strapless A-line style may be the one you’ve always dreamed about, you may be pleasantly surprised when you try on an unconventional style.

Vera Wang, the guru and tastemaker of wedding gowns, has once again wowed us with her newest collection. Black has never looked so good on a bride until Vera put her touch on the dress. Just look at these stunning gowns!

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you’re having a beautiful week so far! It sure has been a busy and productive one for me. Yesterday, I had two very productive planning meetings with brides plus a consultation with a potential new client. In between all of my meetings, I have also been busy gearing up for a busy month of August. I am so excited to have four of my darling couples come into town for  some extensive planning meetings with vendors!

Next week, we will be with our beautiful bride Madeline for three days of non-stop planning fun! We’re even taking a trip to Charleston to meet with our friends  at Ooh! Events and select from their eclectic mix of event rental items.

Madeline and Joe are getting married at the Rose Hill Mansion next September. It’s simply breathtaking. The property is covered in live oak trees, which are drenched in spanish moss.  We’ll be setting up a clear top tent right under these beauties so that once they’re illuminated by our friends at JLK Events, you won’t believe your eyes. The mansion is full of history, art and antiques and will be open for tours throughout their wedding.

In preparing for Madeline’s visit, we’ve been collaborating on some design ideas. Today, I put a mood board together to share with our vendors and give them an idea of the look we’re trying to accomplish. What do you think?

I’ll admit it, I can’t help but read all of the silly someecards that my friends post on Facebook and Pinterest. Sometimes they’re a little out of line, but a lot of times they mirror my life both professionally and personally. I came across this one yesterday and couldn’t help but share with y’all because, once again, I literally laughed out loud…

When you’re getting dolled up for the most exciting day of your life, neither you nor anyone in your family or wedding party should have to worry about anything except relaxing and taking in each and every moment. You shouldn’t have to think about what’s going on with your vendors and how setup is coming along.

Our job as wedding planners is to absorb the responsibility of making sure everything falls into place flawlessly. While every wedding is bound to have unexpected situations arise, if you have the right wedding planner, you will never know about these shortfalls unless it’s absolutely urgent.

What is most important to you on your wedding day? Will you have a planner by your side?

Happy Planning Y’all!

Deeply saddened by yesterday’s tragedy. May we all come together as a nation to remember and pray for the victims, rescuers, survivors and families that experienced first-hand yesterday’s events at the Boston Marathon.
