Happy Thursday! I believe the bride’s shoe is a very important aspect of her wedding day attire. Gorgeous shoes make women exude a new found confidence and provide amazing photo-ops for photographers. Although these shoes are often fierce and fabulous, we all know that they can put on a little strain when it’s time to hit the dance floor. Brides usually change into a cute, yet comfortable shoe during the reception. I recently came across this DIY project courtesy of P.S. – I made this…

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being interviewed by Giselle Phelps of the CW33 Network about Pinterest and it’s impact on the wedding industry. I must admit, I absolutely LOVE Pinterest (as you can see in previous blog posts)! I use it for inspiration for my business and personal life. Unfortunately, some brides-to-be feel like Pinterest is a replacement wedding planner. Although it provides amazing inspiration, brides will usually need assistance with budget management, vendor recommendations, and orchestrating the final product. Just because you plan your entire wedding does not mean that your mom, aunt, or best friend wants to be in charge of the creating timelines, vendor management, and orchestrating the complete wedding day. These very special people should be there to support you and enjoy the festivities!
Head over to the CW33 Network to take a peek at my interview with Giselle Phelps and 2 brides-to-be.
What are your thoughts on Pinterest? Will you (did you) hire a wedding planner for your wedding? Why or why not? I’d love to know!!
