Poll: What does Today's Bride Want?
Most of the advice that I offer up on this blog comes not only from my professional experience of wedding planning, but also from my experience as a bride. I aim to share insight that is practical, realistic and most importantly ~ applicable to all. Having been a bride I can relate to the stress, drama, excitement and pure elation that each of you feel.
I would like to take a moment to hear from YOU, on what you think Today's Bride wants. Is it calm during a sea of tulle? Is it assurance knowing that the awesome vendors you've picked will create and execute all your wedding day desires? Is it knowing that your day of coordinator is the best money you spent? Or is it the feeling that no matter what happens on your wedding day, you get to marry your best friend and that's the only important aspect?
Share your thoughts / wants / needs ... the advice I write is meant to be helpful to you, so I want to make sure that it is!

Notes from a Wedding Planner
Firstly, I am in total shock that it is November. What happened to this year so far? It zoomed by. Since we're now headed into Holiday madness, all I can think of is Turkey, Christmas Tree's and being wrapped up in a scarf, my new hat from Land's End and walking around Fifth Avenue in the freezing cold while sipping hot cider. Let the Season of Good Tidings begin!
Before all the holiday craziness gets everyone riled up, a few announcements and such:

Tips for Honeymoon Planning
I had a chance this past weekend to sit down and catch up on the pile of magazines that have been calling my name while they sat unread. I was flipping through Travel+Leisure when I came across an article that got me thinking about Honeymoons.
As a wedding planner, I get asked alot about my thoughts on where to go on a honeymoon and how much money to save for it. While I think the honeymoon is a very personal travel experience for each couple ~ I do have a couple thoughts that may be helpful:
*keep your wedding budget and honeymoon budget separate: they are separate activities and thus the funds for them should be separate
*when thinking of a locale for your trip think about where you want to go and what you plan on doing once you get there. If you aren't the type to go hiking, ziplining or do anything outdoorsy, then don't pick a place that mainly caters to those activities, as they aren't relevant to you
*try to amass hotel points through a credit card so that you can get some free nights at some fabulous hotels ... paying for the wedding? hint hint!
*drop the H word {honeymoon} when making your reservations ... you may get some extra perks or deals because of it!
