SURPRISE!!! Bachelor/bachelorette party! Ok, so my sisters spilled the beans accidentally about this party. They tried to get my the day off by calling my manager, but couldn’t. So they told me that I needed to call around to get the shift covered so that I could be off from work that day, and to [...]
Any gal who’s ever had to walk down the aisle dressed like Molly Ringwald from “Pretty in Pink“ knows that being a Philadelphia wedding bridesmaid is a tricky job. So, as a bride, take some extra special touches to thank your bridesmaid. After all…they survived all of your bridezilla moments! Here’s some ideas that range [...]
We’ve all heard the bridesmaids’ horror stories: the bride that demands weight loss, chooses insanely expensive lime green dresses and asks when her Vegas bachelorette party will be held. But rarely do we hear about the brides who have done it right. So, I’d like to share with you my recent bridesmaid experience where I [...]
My Christmas and New Years ‘vacation’ kept me pretty busy between visiting family, dress shopping, fixing broken windows (a story for another time) and selecting a florist. Flower shopping was something that I kept putting off because, well, to be quite honest – I wasn’t sure where to start. That, and I just didn’t want to spend [...]
I think that my favorite part of wedding planning has been the dress shopping. Actually, shopping is one of my favorite pastimes so the fact that I can incorporate it into wedding planning has been a bonus.

It seems that we are set on making this wedding be the most logistically frustrating as possible. I have chosen bridesmaids in four different time [...]
In the latest Partyspace newsletter, Eliza mentioned that I had written “what I could remember” about the ceremony in one of my latest posts. That got me thinking: is that wrong of me? Am I a “bad” bride? I think now that maybe I shouldn’t have used the word “remember.” My mind actually did not — and could [...]
I’ll begin this post by sharing some staggering information with you: I have 8 bridesmaids. If that doesn’t shock you, please let me know because the looks that I’ve gotten when I tell people that are of utter disbelief and/or disapproval. Why? I’m not entirely sure. This is the only wedding I’ve ever planned, and [...]
Shew. I am back! It’s been an extremely hectic and crazy few days! After arriving home from our honeymoon, I was met with unpacking, decluttering, mail sorting, cat love, work deadlines, jet leg, and wedding/honeymoon sadness! I thought I might be relieved that all the planning is over… but when, in reality, I want to [...]
This is always a tricky topic…what is etiquette when it comes to giving money as a gift at a wedding? Many would say, “It’s the thought that counts” but, in all honesty brides and grooms may remember the dollar amount for many years to come. So, how do you decide? Do you base it on your relationship [...]
