Are Wedding Favors Falling Out of Favor?
Favors are stupid … alright, that was a bit harsh! However, I have noticed a growing trend with favors and the trend is that of couples forgoing favors altogether.

Read moreCaitlin and Brian
Caitlin and Brian are getting married at one of my favorite locations, Gesu, and the reception will be at Pier Wisconsin! I have never had this combination of venues and I could not be more excited about it. Pair that with some very cool and fun ideas the bride and groom have come up with [...]
Read moreWinter White Wedding
I will admit it, I loathe cold weather. Yes, I enjoy the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and I love curling up by the fire and sipping hot chocolate (with a splash of mint Baileys) but I hate the chill of the season. Even though I dread the cold winter months, I do [...]

Today’s Post comes from Laurel Flannery, owner of Bloom Floral and Event Design. Laurel’s fresh approach to wedding floral design incorporates local product and a green philosophy. Here is what Laurel had to say about an Eco-friendly wedding. When it comes to eco-friendly weddings and decor, we tend to think of casual, picnic style weddings with mason jars filled with wildflowers. [...]
Read moreShould We Cut The Cake?
There are countless pictures of brides and grooms cutting cake together. The tradition makes for some sweet pictures (or funny in some cases) but why do we do it? The cake cutting ceremony started as a tradition of breaking bread over a bride’s head. Guests would scramble for crumbs of the bread that symbolized fertility. [...]

Sarah and Andy are complete opposites, and it works perfectly! This couple loves their friends and family, and knows how to throw one mean party! The reception was at the beautiful Villa Terrace here in Milwaukee with a beer filled bash at Lakefront Brewery that followed. I will dish all of the chartreuse and [...]
