Stop in, post a comment and say hi. There are exciting things slated for Life in Weddin... |
Exciting Developments at Our Wedding Plus!Hope everyone enjoyed Groom s Week! During my week off, while Craig passed on some great ideas for the grooms, I got to thinking. What can I do to better help all you ladies and gentlemen (I hope there s some of you out there) have the best wedding planning information possible. As you know, there are lots of wedding blogs out there each giving great wedding ideas. Most of the time there s only one blogger giving information from their perspective and from their knowledge base. So I thought I might be able to kick this up a notch and add wedding professionals to Our Wedding Plus to form kind o... |
Developing a Crush - Harvest Time in Napa ValleyWords by Autumn MillhouseImage by Liza Gershman www.lizawedding.com As we stepped inside the winery the concentrated smell of crushed grapes made it clear that harvest was here. Workers were walking between the loading area and into the cellar dumping bins of bright purple grape clusters. As the assistant winemaker toured us around to photograph and interview anyone who had a second to answer a few questions, it became clear me that to understand harvest is to understand the heart and soul of Napa Valley.Napa Valley is known internationally as a leader in socially sustainable agriculture, gr... |
Discount Meets Designer; Reasonably-Priced Romance DevelopsIt all started with the classic love story of boy meets major corporation and falls in love; ah, the intensely modern romance between a man and a chain store. We're not generally too wild about that sort of genre-defying potential brand downgrade, but who at this point is going to argue with the wild success of Isaac Mizrahi's collaboration with Target? Isaac's bringing cashmere to the masses and designing surprisingly affordable wedding dresses has us feeling exceptionally open to the prospect of designer collaborations. Anyway, how could we ever turn down affordable Vera Wang? ... |

PersonallyLilacs for Larissa, her favorite flower. Shoes for Chrissy, a fashionist who loves her shoes. A monkey & a typewriter for Sherrill, a theater director {check out the story behind these notes here...fantastic!}. Currently working on other personalized stationery involving a cow, an iris, some vintage purses, an apple blossom, & possibly a gingko leaf.

Tiana, Nathan & KianaTiana ... Nathan wanted to include their little 8 month old sweet pea, Kiana, in their engagement session, so we made it an Engagement/Lifestyle Family shoot. I've had a few chances to see little Kiana and I can't tell you how much I LOVE her little personality. She is so easy going and mellow and just has the cutest little face and expressions ever! Although mom says as her little personality develops, she is turning more and more into a little diva! We had a fun time around Crissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts. I can't wait for the wedding this June! ... |

A Personal TouchWhy walk down on a plain aisle runner when you can add your personal touch to it?... |
Personalize it.I am all about adding the personalized touches that make a wedding special and unique to the wedding couple. Although these details are sometimes overlooked or unnoticed by guests, they add character. My personal mantra and what I will accomplish as a wedding planner: When a bride and groom are seated at their head table and take a moment to look around at the most important people in their lives they will be within an environment that mirrors their vision. They will feel comfortable, content, and complete in the center of an evening full of love&happiness, catered specifically to their indivi... |
