it's a big, bridal world out there. start here.
We live in a “me” and “mine” and “my” world! Want sushi? Logon to your computer and select from 100 different Asian restaurants in your neighborhood! Want to watch the latest GCB? Logon to your On Demand on your tv and voila! Everything we touch and do allows for instantaneous gratification. And yes… that means wedding planning as well!

Your fiance came up with the cutest idea!!! Instead of table numbers, he wants to lay out the dining room in a similar way of New York City to seat your guests. You think it is fabulous! Your wedding planner disagrees… and here is why.

I do not know which wedding planner coined the term “day of” wedding coordination but I really want to kill her (or him)! We get brides that call and ask us to just show up for the day to manage their perfect wedding day. Sorry… it really does not work that way!!!

“Get there on time.
Arriving for a meeting or a meal five minutes ahead of time,
gives you a period of relaxation.
Arriving for a meeting or a meal five minutes late is not only stressful for you,
but for the person you are to meet.
And it means you do not have to begin every encounter by saying:
I’m sorry…”
~ Graydon Carter, Canadian-born Editor of Vanity Fair,
in Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self
I grew up in a German household and if you were not five minutes early, you were ten minutes late! Seriously. If I was one minute past curfew, I might as well have been coming home when the sun was rising – same amount of trouble (and grounding) for me!

Hey all!
163 days and counting….
What a GREAT week! First of all, a special thanks to some of the readers (and our friend Tatiana especially!) for sending some great ideas for recipes for the cleanse! We are very excited to try them out and get this cleanse OVER with! Two weeks from today we will be DONE! We decided that it is not the cutting out of alcohol for a month of our lives (which we thought would be awful) but it’s the boredom that comes along with doing this. No going to fun places to eat, no meeting up with friends for a drink after work… it’s just a very mundane routine that nine days in has not gotten any easier. Much like every other routine, we are 100% sure that the day before we are done, it will feel like normal day!

I always say that I will try anything once. And I do. I even did Botox on my forehead for the very first time, on a whim at a spa party with some of my brides in attendance, about ten days before my wedding. CRAZY!!! Bad bride. And a really bad idea.

“The bump in your nose. You used to always wonder if everyone noticed it as much as you did. One day you are going to meet a guy who is so cute you cannot believe that he’s talking to you, and you are going to become good friends. And then you’re going to fall in love. And one day, when you get up the courage to ask him what he thinks of the bump in your nose, he’s going to say, ‘What bump?’” ~ Jodi Picoult, best selling author of My Sister’s Keeper and Sing You Home, with her contribution to Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self

Let this be a lesson to you, ladies!
Everything for your wedding is first class! Five star hotel for the reception, magnificant historical church for the ceremony, chef-inspired dinner, Veuve Clicquot for the toast, first rate twelve piece orchestra and a photographer that would rival Annie Leibovitz any day! And then the escort and place cards… thrown together at the last minute and hideous! Not at your wedding? Never! Riiiiight…..

From an overly protruding leg that now has its own twitter, to a questionable wardrobe malfunction (we don’t see it) that now has its own twitter, to – our favorite – a red carpet “ashing” prank by a fictional dictator that was worthy of Punk’d, there were quite a few remarkable pop culture moments.

You should have a wedding planner. Really, you should. The reason is because no one besides your planner tells you what sort of things you want to make sure you have done when during your wedding planning.
