Real Advice From a Real Bride: Make a Party of Your Tasks

/

So excited to share another segment of "Real Advice From a Real Bride!"  My former bride, and sorority sister Kathryn made SO many of the items in her wedding!!  Basically all of the stationery, her overlays, and much more!  See what she has to say about it....


"My advice to brides is to make your wedding your own!  Take the time to look for ideas and creative tips but ultimately make sure to put aside time to create things for your wedding that are unique to you!  Make it fun.   Try inviting your family and friends over for a “gluing party” or “rhinestoning party”. Serve food and drinks for your helpers and don’t forget to take pictures!!"


If you haven't seen the previous of her wedding, check it out here!



  

To See Each Other or NOT See Each Other- Before the Ceremony

/
It's been the big debate lately....should you see each other before the ceremony or not?  Tracey Hanson from 2 Rings & a Dress Photographers wrote a great article about it that you should see below....  There are many factors to consider, and at the end of the day, you have to choose what feels right for you.  I just want to make sure you have all the facts. ;)
My friends over at Be Inspired PR, also wrote a great blog post about this same topic, so you should really check this post out also...you know, if you want to be thorough! :)
What are YOUR thoughts?? Will you/Did you/Would you see each other before the ceremony??  Enjoy!
