Wedding Wednesday { Maid of Honor Duties }

Whether you are a bride or a maid of honor, hopefully this post will come in handy at some point during the wedding planning process. If you are the maid of honor prepare to give your life over to the bride until her wedding, do not turn your phone off and definitely don't go on any vacations until after the wedding. Just kidding, but kinda not.

Wedding Wednesday { 7 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Planner }

So you have the ring and now you are ready to start planning. You think you have an idea of what colors you might want, you think you know what your budget is going to be and you think you have a date set! Right now you are the happiest you can be and nothing is going to get you down. But what happens when 6 months into the planning and the caterer has to cancel or the DJ charges you more than he said he was?

Wedding Can Coolers

One of my favorite things to look for at weddings is the bride and groom's wedding can cooler they designed or picked out! Not all couples decide to go the route of having can coolers at their reception, but when they do I am sure I grab one, or maybe two, to take home with me!

Personalized Groomsmen Gifts

As a bride, it is pretty easy to shop for the girls in the wedding, but what about the guys? They are a little bit more difficult. It seems like they already have everything or you think they may never use it again. But I have found 4 gifts that any guys is going to want and use more than once!

Stephenson Wedding {Father of the Bride Speech}

So I cried during the Maid of Honor speech and was recovering from hers when I saw my Dad walking up to stand next to me to give his speech. I had completely forgotten he was after my MOH. I was not prepared for his speech at all, I wasn't prepared to cry but boy did I. 

Stephenson Wedding {Maid of Honor Speech}

My MOH and I have been best friends since the 7th grade, however we have known each other since the 4th grade. She is my other half, my Christina to my Meredith, the person that holds me together. I don't know what I would do without her and I am not sure how I would have planned all the wedding things without her. She was there for me when I would blow up her phone while she was at work with all the wedding ideas and she was there for me when I came home crying from an appointment - she was there through it all.
