Rhonda: Something Old, Something New…
Every wedding is unique. They reflect the style of couple getting married, their culture and their families’ beliefs. Of all the weddings that I’ve been to, no two were alike – not even remotely. And I’ve been to a lot of weddings…everything from your traditional Protestant church wedding to casual outdoor affairs to a Jewish/Catholic ceremony [...]
Rhonda: I Have a (Wedding) Shoe Fetish
I am on the hunt – the hunt for wedding shoes. And to be honest, I’m not having much luck. I love shoes. I love to go shopping for shoes. I love to drool over shoes while shopping. I love planning my outfits around my shoes. But for some reason, that perfect shoe eludes me. [...]
Rhonda: ‘Should I Get Botox?’
Planning a wedding can be pretty stressful. As a bride, you have to juggle a lot of details all at once…the ceremony, the reception, the groom, the bridal party.

There is one question that I am dying to ask the wedding gods. Just where in the world did the idea of a ‘cake topper’ come from? Who decided that when you get married, you needed to invite a miniature plastic bride and groom to sit upon the top most layer of your wedding cake? In [...]
Rhonda: The Best Marriage Advice I Ever Received
I have the privilege of being friends with some of the most amazing women in the world. Some of have been in my life for thirty years; some only a fraction of that time. They are the ones that I raise a glass of wine with in celebration or lean on when things aren’t going [...]
Rhonda: Rise of the Mismatched Bridesmaids
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. Having finally asked our bridal party to…well…be a part of the party, it was time to look at bridesmaids dresses. [...]
Rhonda: The Great DIY Hoax
Its so easy to get caught up in it – the idea of a visually perfect wedding. No matter what TV show you are watching, they all have that same central theme. This is what the ‘perfect’ wedding looks like and this is what you need to get there. You need ambiance. You need big [...]
