Six Biggest Faux Pas Kids Make at Weddings
To invite, or not to invite, children to the wedding is a topic that has long caused strife to wedding planning couples. Some say a wedding with drinking and dancing all through the night is no place for children. Others think that leaving kids off the guest list is ridiculous and rude. But ultimately, it is up to the couple to choose what’s right for them, and you can’t blame a bride for thinking that no kids means no wedding day disasters. So today, we take a fun look at...
A Potentially Risky Yet Fabulous Wedding Reception Idea
I've already told you aaaaaall about my fiancé's creative ideas for our wedding reception... long drive contest, three hole putt putt, Slam n Jam basketball, and (gasp) a dunk tank (which I'll tell you right now will not be happening).

Spectacular Indian Wedding at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club

Handmade Vintage Wedding Crafted with Love
Summer + James, captured by Casey Fatchett Photography Inspiration—I wanted the formality and grandeur of Victoria (minus the stuffiness) with the warmth and functionality of the Dashwood cottage featured in the classic chick flick, Sense and Sensibility.

Venue—We really fell in love with the Meredith...
Cool Couple Chic at City Hall
A few months ago Refinery29 had an article on City Hall weddings....essentially they photographed a total of 32 newlyweds getting married on a single day, and the styles they rocked. One of my favorite things about City Hall weddings is that you can dress a little more close to your own style vs the expected wedding gown... all you need is a fabulous dress that may or may not be in white! Hemlines are generally shorter, and even the guys can get in on the fun with unique ways of...
