What can I say…. this was an AMAZING wedding!
It was held at the beautiful Greenacres in Indian Hill. What a unique place. The staff there is amazing to work with as well. The photos really speak for themselves. What I loved about this bride and groom is that they wanted a lounge ares and decided to buy furniture from IKEA since it was the same cost to rent, so they are going to use the furniture in their new home after the wedding. Brilliant!
I had actually sprained my ankle two weeks before this wedding, and it was a bad sprain, but with extra hands to help, all was well!!! I will do everything in my power to be at my weddings!!!   A big thank you to my girls for helping like they did!  Also, huge thank you to Tine with TM Photography for these gorgeous photos!  ENJOY…





What do we do, you ask?

I thought this would be a great question to touch on after I was looking over some of my clients photos from the summer.  I found several pictures of me doing different things.  There are a few fun pictures of some of the things we do the day of a wedding.  There is so much involved, but in case you were wondering, here is just a small sampling.  If you are considering someone to assist you, at least on the day of the wedding, you are going to be very pleased!  I hear far too often from past brides, “I wish I would have hired a coordinator for my wedding!”  Well, if you are reading this blog, it might just be what you have on your mind.  Don’t let that be you if this is what you are considering.  Saying that after your wedding is too late I am afraid!  Thanks for visiting and happy planning.  

Oh, we have seen so many situations with children, but I do still think they are so cute in weddings!  If I can handle 13 children in one wedding, I can handle the average 2 or 3!

We do it all!!!  We can’t have you bending over and putting a crease in the front of your gown!  

I do love the moment right before the brides goes down the isle.  It gives me chills every time!


The photography is so important….  I really do my best to stay out of the way!  The candid photographer grabbed these, but hey, the lead photographer couldn’t see me!  ha


Some of those gowns sure can be tricky!  A crochet hook is a MUST in every emergency kit!!!  It really helps at the end of the night when your husband is trying to help you get out of the dress too!!  ;-)

 even with a sprained ankle (that was me) I am hanging out with my bride, making sure she is calm with her champagne, while I am on the phone taking care of any last details or conflicts!  

At the end of the day, the hugs and compliments shared by friends, family, and of course the bride and groom, it is all worth it!  The 13 plus hours on your feet running around to make sure everything is as perfect as it can be…  well, it is just in you or it isn’t, and I am happy to report, it is still in me!
