Not only is my little sister rockin' an Allure gown for her upcoming Parisian wedding (it's amazing), they also happen to create some of the most awe-inspiring dresses you will ever lay your eyes upon. Those sort of blow-your-mind gowns that will leave all of your guests speechless, from romantic lace numbers to sassy...

Visiting Scotland is currently item #1 on my must-travel list, so when this darling wedding from Victoria Phipps came along, I nearly squealed out loud. Held at a quiet countryside church followed by a whiskey distillery reception, it's basically everything you'd think a Scottish wedding should be, plus a whole lot more. From rich, green scenery to bagpipe players to little ones in kilts, there's...

Weddings with a view pretty much take the cake in my book. So, when I discovered that recently opened skyline sanctuary, Upper Story by Charlie Palmer, combined two of my favorite things (food and skyline views) I had to pinch myself. Taking in the Midtown Manhattan skyline is stunning, but their food? Well, it's legendary. Perfect for private events, this sophisticated sanctuary is the perfect place for any soirée. From...
Having been in this wonderful world of weddings for quite some time, I can easily say one of the things brides stress most about is the snail mailings! Not anymore, my dears, thanks to Postable! From collecting your guests' mailing addresses to sending out save the dates...
Fact: I could literally spend all day looking at gorgeous wedding photography. So dedicating our entire Saturday to the brilliant work of The Marin Studio is, well... a serious no brainer.
