Kevin and I became "Mr. and Mrs." nearly two weeks ago already! I know it sounds clich but the day truly does fly by. Whether you have a small, intimate gathering or a large affair there are moments that you and your new spouse should savor. These are moments that I hold close to my heart and memories that will last well into our wrinkled years. 1) Taste your hard work. I know that sounds a little silly, but sit down and eat the meal that you helped design. Sharing a meal with my new husband surrounded by all of our family and friends was incredible. We were able to really taste the perfectly prepared meal right as it came out of the kitchen. Having this moment together to really savor our first meal together was so delicious and special. Blue Elephant Catering provided us with a meal that our ...

Understanding our family origins and what we are all about as individuals makes it easier to discuss our values as husband and wife and, hopefully someday, as parents. We both know that we are Catholic, we want children, and we both love our families. Perfect! But what is our plan? Where will we be in five or ten years? What are our hopes and dreams for our marriage? It is so easy to get lost in the process of wedding planning and lose sight of these invaluable conversations. If I can offer any bit of advice it would be to take some time away from all those incredibly overwhelming (and exciting) wedding planning to converse ...

A wedding is such an amazing celebration of love, family, and friendship. The difficult thing about that is all the love, all the family, and all the friendships! Kevin and I both have very large, beautiful families that support and love us. We knew, with our families alone, we were looking at 90 or more guests. The guest list was, hands down, the most difficult part of our whole wedding planning process. 1. Limit you guest list according to your budget When planning a guest list, remember that each guest will need a meal, a table, a chair, silverware, a gift (if you choose), and an invitation. The amount of guests you and your fianc choose to invite is deeply ...

I am often asked, "Amber, what is going to be hot this summer?" I love that question, because to me, anything can be hot. That is the wonderful thing about designing your wedding to fit you and your partner. Anything goes In fact that's my hope for every couple: that their personality, their love, and their uniqueness comes through on their wedding day. That being said, there are always trends. Here are my top three trends for 2014: #1 Pale Color Palette: gold, taupe, blush, soft pinks are coming in force. The soft palette really adds a elegant overall ...

There are so many things that couples have to think about and plan when it comes to their special day. There is everything from the dress down to what the place settings are going to look like. One thing that is often left to be dealt with later is the rings. Couples wait till they are about a month away from their weddings to go shopping for their rings. This can be dangerous in many cases. When shopping for a man's wedding band:   Most of the time the man's ring is the easiest one to get. Most men just want a ring that fits well and looks nice. Most don't care about the metal or if it has diamonds. This isn't to say that there aren't men that do care about these aspects, but the real thing to consider is that they are not trying to find a ring that fits well with another ring, like women are. ...
