No, we do not offer wedding planning services :)
 
But a few websites and ressources, we found useful.

  • Ask and I send you pictures...

 

Dress: RKBridal

  • It's very intimidating and overwhelming at first, but they will find your dress!
  • I had a beautiful Casablanca gown ($730) that was build up for me and they really worked with me to make it my wedding dress for under $1300 with all alterations. LOVE IT.

 

Lessons Learned:

  • Learn the following mantra: Dont freak out... its just a 5 hour party. Repeat three times while breathing slowly...
  • Make a budget and stick with it! No, I mean it.
  • No matter what other people say: It is your wedding.
  • No matter what happens: Let is go and enjoy. This only happens once.
  • Bring a second pair of shoes. I got Aerosoles, very comfy...
  • Pack your larger tote bag for the wedding day a week ahead and give it to your mom.
  • Do not forget your marriage license. Yup, you guessed it - we did.
  • A lot of wedding memories will come back when you see the pictures, so get a good photographer.
  • "Whose wedding is it anyway?" is just a TV show! Your wedding is so much cooler and better.
