when the theme is sunset and you gradually go from lighter pinks and peaches to deeper tones throughout the course of the day....

sidenote....I do get an extra sense of accomplishment when even the refreshments coordinate...

Relevant info....

In 2019, the dressmaker Sergio Guadarrama was cast on “Project Runway.” The appearance backfired; he came across as a villain, and dress orders for his business plummeted. He decided to move upstate with his business partner and fiancé, Kade Johnson, and begin again—right as the pandemic all but shut down the bridal industry. Business tanked. In 2022, a saleswoman from the Knot called Guadarrama, in response to a form he’d filled out online. If he signed up for a premium advertising package, she said, he could expect between 80 and 240 brides to contact him each month. Johnson thought this sounded implausible, but, despite his misgivings, the couple signed a yearlong advertising contract with the Knot, for $5,800. “We were looking at the Knot as a beacon of hope,” Johnson said. “And it was the complete opposite.” Guadarrama added, “The Knot was, like, the final nail in the coffin.”

After signing up, Guadarrama and Johnson sent their first payment to the Knot. They got 15 leads, but a month went by with no responses. One afternoon, Guadarrama called the phone number listed on a lead. He said that the woman who picked up told him, “I never signed up for the Knot! I’m not even getting married. Who are you?” Guadarrama tried to cancel his contract, but the company refused to let him out of his yearlong commitment. So he closed his bank account to prevent them from continuing to withdraw payments.

More than 20 wedding venders who advertise with the Knot told Adam Iscoe that they’ve received inquiries from what they believe are fake brides. Iscoe also spoke with dozens of current and former employees of the company to better understand the venders’ claims. One former saleswoman put it bluntly: “We fu**ed over venders.” (“We strongly dispute these claims,” a spokeswoman for the Knot said.) Is the popular wedding website sending venders fake leads?

We often think of red as a bold color choice, but here it is being soft and romantic.

Fresh & welcoming - the two words that best described Haema and Paul's plans for their celebration in Iowa!
A neutral palette of creams & tans, coppers, golds - with marigold accents and fresh greens - made for a light and airy celebration. It was well-suited for this hall that opens up to and overlooks a beautiful golf course.

You can have a perfect wedding, but there are never any guarantees that the day will run perfectly.

Attitude, knowing that you are marrying the love of your life, and knowing that you chose vendors who will do their absolute best to help your day go smooth - even when chaos strikes unexpectedly - makes all the difference in the world.

You get to celebrate your day with the ones you love most - and that in itself is perfect.

In the end, crazy stuff happening is just part of your story.
