The whole wedding...

Planning a wedding can be so time consuming but they are so wonderful. After I got my first bride and she signed my first ever contract, I felt so...warm and fuzzy. I had a bride!! I realized this was going to be so amazing...and it was. Evan and Amanda were the best couple to have as my first bride and groom.

When I think back on that day and I realize that I am helping a bride have her DAY, its touching, its mind blowing, and it makes you sit back and think about everything that just went into this lovely day. For me, I always think back to what was my favorite moment or my favorite part of the whole wedding. I usually have five runner ups and I will either blog about those or make sure those pictures are featured on my site, but I only have one major part of every wedding I love.

It all about the reception!!

A wedding consists of many phases and then sections and then pieces. However, the reception (for me) remains the top and most favorited part of any wedding. Its where everyones hard work and time comes together and where the bride and groom are no longer boyfriend/girlfriend, no longer finances, they are now married. Their new life starts there as well.

This is my favorite part of the wedding because all the work any vendor I've ever worked for as come shining through. From the pipe and drape, the florists, the dj, the cake and caterer, to the venue itself. This is where the shine/the glow happens and its my favorite time.

Planning a wedding is fun yet looking back and see the new Mr. and Mrs. at their reception, joining their lives, partying, and being one...that to me is my favorite part of the planning process!
