Well, let me tell you that as a professional wedding planner, planning my own wedding was still quite the experience. Not only for myself, with the pressure of making sure it was planned, designed, and executed to my exact vision…but you can also imagine the stress it caused my then fiancé, Jason!

Read MoreHappy Friday, friends! If you are up in Michigan like our team, you are probably starting to feel the itch to ditch the sweaters for sun dresses and drive around with your windows down. This is the time of year where I become hyper productive as the days get longer and the weather gets (slightly) warmer. It’s a good time to tackle tasks that I usually dread.
