Ever heard of the money dance?
It's a Filipino tradition (but there are also variations in other cultures) where guests come up and pin on money on the couple.
It is partially a gift, but also bestows wishes for a prosperous marriage.

So mother's day has come and gone, but I'm not done yet!
Have you thought about how you want to include your mom in your wedding? And I'm not just talking about the planning, but the actual day of.

I was reminded recently that moms love peonies just as much as brides and couples do.
So, while moms deserve so much more than peonies, here's a peony (or two) for all the moms today.
And because I felt like starting mother's day early.

Everyone gets stressed about their wedding 😩. It's sort of an inevitability.
But having a planner, the right planner for you, makes all the difference 😊.

So I've kind of got a thing for lighting.
It's one of my favorite design elements to play with because it has the ability to give the space a very particular vibe.

When it comes to design, chairs are always a fun element to play with.
Because it's both visual and functional.
You can change a whole design just with the chairs and make it feel more elegant, boho, fun, quirky, modern, retro, etc... They als… https://t.co/HtEC98oBLB

I spent the last week with a bunch of amazing wedding pros, most of whom are women.

We're continuing our bouquet conversation, but today I want to talk about the non-traditional bouquet.
Because while it's common to have a "normal" bouquet that you hold, it's not for everyone.
And if that's you, I totally get it! I was not … https://t.co/TUddJikNp6
