I am a graphic designer who loves all things crafty. I am a girl who loves design, crafts and decorating! I currently spend all of my time either doing design work or playing with my little dog named Poly! Ever since I was a young girl I have always dreamed of my perfect wedding (as all girls do). In reality, weddings do not always come out exactly the way the bride wishes it to be. My goal is to share fun and cute wedding ideas that I used in my wedding or ideas that I wish I could have created for my wedding. I wish for all brides to have fun with their wedding planning and to be able to customize their wedding with all the little fun details that will make their wedding dreams come true. Happy Planning!!! Read More…

A pediatrician by training and a creative dreamer by heart, I realized how much I loved ‘all things wedding’ while planning my own. Blissfully married in November 2008, I continue to be involved in the wedding planning process through my friends. I actually never dreamed about my wedding as a child nor did I pencil it into my life plan. All I know, is that the right guy came along, and I wanted my wedding to be everything he brought into my life: Love, laughter and more joy than I could ever dream. And that’s exactly what happened.

Not only is Caron Cooper Weller a self-employed writer/graphic designer/jack of all trades, but she is also a newlywed! She was born in Michigan, raised in Florida and “followed” her high school sweetheart to Texas, where she was educated in life and love (and academics on the side). After earning her degree from SMU and realizing “happily every after” wasn’t in the cards just yet, she followed her heart to Los Angeles, back to Dallas, then to Raleigh, before returning to her home in Florida—home is where the heart is, after all. It was at home where Caron finally found her true love. After four years of dating, she tied the knot with her Mr. Right on May 30, 2009. Caron and her husband reside in the Orlando area with their dog, Abbey Road. Read More…

Let me begin by saying I am not a professional event planner. However, I have extensive experience that’ll help you plan a wedding your friends will envy. There are several reasons why I think I can help.

Professionally, I am a project manager specializing in IT projects. I’ve been responsible for budgets ranging from tens of thousands of dollars, to over a million dollars. I have a real knack for cutting costs – and who doesn’t like to save money? I’ve consistently ensured on-time delivery of projects within tight deadlines. I’ve negotiated contracts and written organizational by-laws so I know what think about before you sign an agreement (and that you must have a written agreement). Read More…

I’m a kid born and raised in the Great Northwest with a sincere passion for my fiancee, my writing, and my mission– to put chivalry back into weddings. I recently proposed in Sydney, Australia to the most amazing woman alive, and as a self-proclaimed groomzilla, I’ve been heavily involved in the planning of our September 7th wedding by aspiring to bring technology, innovation, and a healthy dose of masculinity into the wedding planning process.

I didn’t have my wedding planned out when I was a wee one like some girls. When  I finally got engaged, I had an idea of what I wanted, but no idea of what I was getting myself into. Now we are about nine months from wedding day and each day I’m learning the ins and outs of wedding planning, DIY and stress management, or lack of. I am a native of Kansas City and have finally decided to stick around for a while and purchase a house in the area with my fiancé. I enjoy spending time with friends and family and of course, wedding planning.  I couldn’t be more excited to share tips, ideas and suggestions with fellow brides, bridesmaids and other members of the wedding party as we all count down to our big day!
