We couldn’t help but share these few shots of a gorgeous recent wedding at Palm Springs’ Viceroy Resort and Spa. We loved the look! If you weren’t considering a Palm Springs destination wedding before, we bet you will now…
By their nature, most weddings (the exceptions being these excercises in opulent navel gazing and their brethren) are about celebrating the family. Yours, his, and the great big new one that just came together.
But making planning the event a family affair makes a lot of brides break out in hives. And it’s understandable. There are always enough opinions to go around, and when some of them come from people who drive you a little over the edge to begin with, things can get a little tense. How can’t however, shut everyone out, particularly if they are helping pay for your big day. Here are a few ways to integrate the bunch into your plans without going bananas.
Families go a little haywire when it comes to weddings. But they love you, and are only making you crazy because they want to share this special experience, too. Handle as you do all things you love – with care.
Care well, and love well.
