YOUR WEDDING AND THE TV- NOT THE BEST MATCH

by

 

Do you keep the TV on for “background noise?” Me too. But there’s a danger. I’ll aimlessly tune in while washing dishes, and next thing you know, I’m knee deep in a “Real Housewives of Cleveland” marathon, and poof! 5 hours have gone by. Don’t get me wrong, we all need to escape into a great story once in a while (check out Wedding Movie Wednesday blog posts for non-housewife suggestions) but be careful that your “background”noise doesn’t pulls you away from being more involved in life, liberty and the pursuit of a fabulous wedding.

Be well, and love well.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey - a train wreck I can't take my eyes off, I'm ashamed to admit.

The Devil Is In The Wedding Details

by

If you read bridal blogs and magazines, there’s a lot of talk of  “details” and “special touches” that brides and wedding planners are using to make 2013 weddings unique to each bridal couple.

Don't let the details get your veil in a twist! It's ok for place cards to be place cards and not art.

At the same time, I think the focus on producing creative details can put a lot of pressure on brides especially in this age of Pinterest and so many places to submit beautiful wedding photos for publication. Don’t let the culture of details get into your head- let the unique ideas reveal themselves as you plan. Take a deep breath, and maybe make time online a little less Pinteresting.

Be well, and love well.
