  • Wedding Themes — French Inspiration
    While trying to wrack my brain to come up with an idea for a wedding article to fit our "April in Paris" theme this month, I came across details of a recent wedding that used Paris as an inspiration point. So stunning was the design, I immediately contacted the event’s planner and photographer for permission to feature the wedding in Designer Monthly.
  • When Good Flower Girls Go Bad
    As a wedding coordinator, I am often called on to coordinate not just the reception, but the wedding ceremony as well. Each reception is different and presents its own set of c hallenges, but the ceremony should be the easy part. Most Western ceremonies are similar and there is really only so much a coordinator can do, so my assistance is usually limited to the processional.
  • Wedding Photography: The Art and Artifacts of Your Wedding Day
    Today, wedding photography is taking unconventional swings. "Wedding portraits can be so much more than a bride and groom standing in front of a fountain," says photographer Jeff Tisman. He started out his career doing fashion and music photography and later got into wedding photography. He does his posed shots in a more relaxed and artsy way; others are black and white candids with a rock 'n roll edge.
  • Day-of Wedding Coordinating: Bad Planning? Deal With It.
    If you are working as a day-of wedding coordinator, chances are you did not have any input on the choices that were made for the event. But it is your job to make the best of even the worst decisions.
  • Wedding Location: From Concept to Creation
    Your wedding venue frames the occasion. It should reflect your sensibilities as a couple; as a result, the quest for a wedding location involves a lot of creativity. "When couples are just starting to plan a wedding, I ask them questions like: What gets you excited? When have you been happiest? What have you enjoyed doing the most together?" says wedding and event planner Kelven Book.
  • The Guide to Wedding Attire for the Descriminating Bride
    Shopping for wedding attire isn't easy. For many women, the wedding gown is a representation of personality, reality, fantasy, and style. Finding one can be dizzying; rules are vanishing, fashion is constantly changing, and there are more options available than ever before.
  • Wedding Disaster? Wedding Solution: Take this Coat and Shove It!
    Real life examples of how one NYC Wedding Coordinator has dealt with potential wedding and event disasters and the lessons she learned in the process. When working in weddings and events you need to be prepared to do anything and handle everything. No matter how thorough everyone involved might be, something totally unexpected can always pop up.
  • Green Weddings
    There's a lot to consider when planning your wedding: the guest list, the catering, the flowers, whether you've chosen the right person to meet you at the altar — no, not that last one. But today's couples are faced with yet another choice: how to minimize the damage to the planet that can be caused by a big gathering.
  • Floral Wedding Design
    Everyone loves a wedding. The bride, who of course is the centerpiece of the event, is glowing. The groom, perhaps relieved that the planning is over, is thrilled. Family and friends are giddy with celebrating the union of two people they love.
