Revolutionizing the Wedding Industry, One Blog at a Time.
Wedding planning is exhausting for everyone. But when you’re struggling with a chronic mental or physical illness, or when your life circumstances drain you of all but a few precious slivers of your time and energy, planning a wedding can feel impossible. In the spirit of making this post as spoonie-friendly as possible, I’m going…
I firmly believe that Winter weddings are underrated. Of course, there are some undeniable drawbacks to Winter weddings: Some people may find it difficult to attend a wedding after dropping a bunch of money on holiday gifts or travel.

So you’ve decided to create your own sweet table. Congratulations! Who doesn’t love a good dessert buffet? If you’re someone who is confident in their baking ability (or their loved ones’ baking abilities), then this should be fun for you! If you’re someone who doesn’t have a lot of baking experience, don’t worry- there are…
When I was pursuing my certification, there was a small handful of things that we were told never, ever, ever to let our clients do for their wedding.
