Lucky for brides to be, there are a ton of shows out there to please this craving—and some of the best are streamed, so they are ideal for a night of binge watching. Here are a few of our...
As an educator for wedding industry professionals, I rack up my share of miles traveling to and from conferences, but none have cast a spell on me quite like Camp Wed. Tucked alongside Wandawega Lake at the eponymous Camp Wandawega, Camp Wed — the brainchild of Sarah Sarbacker and Andrea VandeBerg of...

If ever there were a time for women to stand up against their fears and crush them, now would be it. We all have fears (even you, guys!) but today, we're talking with life coach, Yana German about those that affect women a bit more directly—and more importantly, how to conquer and overcome them. 1. Am I good enough? This is one of the most common questions that I discuss with my clients. A lot of women feel they need to be perfect in every aspect...
Royal wedding fever? We've got it. Which means days spent dreaming of castle receptions, Prince Charming and, of course, a gown that will leave the world talking. But good news - you don't actually have to be a real-life (or soon-to-be) princess to walk down the aisle in a show-stopping number. Lazaro's Spring 2018 Collection is more than camera ready with some of the most breathtaking designs we've ever laid our...
The big day is almost here and I have to say the best part of planning so far has definitely been dress shopping! There are a few challenges that come with a 4. 5-month engagement and the dress timeline (most places want 8 months prep time), so I thought I’d share some pointers if you’re on a time crunch or just want to be efficient with your shopping time! I ended up finding something perfect at...
These beach portraits might just be my favorite ones yet. Are they super fancy? No, not really. Are they romantic? Yes, but that's not really why. Instead, it's this feeling of relaxed love and lots of laughter that shines through, and it's clear from every one of Carmen Santorelli's...

When you meet at summer camp, it's only natural that you'll want to continue your love story with some special "I do's" outside. But this is far from your rustic wedding in the woods - it's refined and elegant and oh so pretty. Kayla Yestal captured...
Why bring in an alter when you can simply embellish a larger than life tree with a gorgeous array of blooms? That is just where we start this vineyard wedding overlooking the sea. It is layered with a stunning fall color palette and striking details crafted by Birds of a Feather Events, with florals by The Southern Table and imagery...
Keep the Valentine's spirit going long after the holiday! Whether you've been married for years or just made things official last week, forget that expensive, tried-and-true dinner date night and focus on learning more about your significant other instead. If you haven't already, take Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages quiz with your significant other to discover your emotional communication preferences. Then, plan a date around your...
These two weddings are proving that destination celebrations are a definite must if you love soaking in the sun, playing on the beach and tossing back a cocktail or two. Because if you love vacationing with your closest friends and family, plus a breathtaking seaside backdrop, they are most definitely the "nudge" you need if you're waffling on whether to take your "I do's" to paradise. Sarah and Matthew jetted off to ...

It's your chance to mix and mingle with the best in the biz, plus find those wedding pros that...
Stu and Emily's love story is giving us ALL the feels today. A super-random camping trip (where the mutual friends who were supposed to go with them bailed) led to the mountaintop I dos we get to witness on screen today, at the same mountain, no less. Thankfully that mountain was Northstar California and the gorgeous...
