Greek Island Get-Aways

What Do You Think?

Recently we’ve had several requests for the Greek Islands. So this week we’d like to introduce you to some of the drool-worthy hotels and resorts located on some of the most scenic beaches in Greece.

According to Frommers, Santorini is one of the most spectacular islands in the world. Many Greeks joke, somewhat begrudgingly, that there are foreigners who know where Santorini is — but are confused about where Greece is! Especially if you arrive by sea, you won’t confuse Santorini with any of the other Cyclades. What will confuse you is that the island is also known as Thira.

Ask the Photographer: Will you be shooting my wedding?

1 Comment

We have had the pleasure of meeting with couples that whip out the old “What to ask your photographer” lists found on line. But what we find time and time again is that 90% of the time, the couple will ask the lists questions, but not know the answers. Seems a little pointless to bring the list along if you don’t know what the answers should be. Well, we are here to help. For the next several posts, we will ask the questions and give the answers you’ll want to hear!

Savvy Grooms To-Do List!

What Do You Think?

tuxedos

We’ve been dreaming about how our weddings will look  since we were little girls. We’ve thought through every last detail and made subconscious decisions that remain in our minds as ‘final.’ Enter the groom. Unlike the man in our imagination, this one doesn’t have plastic hair or respond to the name, ‘Ken.’ He’s got thoughts, feedback, and surprisingly strong-willed opinions to things you never thought possible! Here are a few ways to help delegate responsibilities (yes, you really have to let go) and learn the art of teamwork:

Have a Seat

What Do You Think?

So long banquet chairs, the variety of seating for the ceremony and reception is endless.  From the chavari chairs with simple lines to the transparency of the ghost chairs have become a hot topic with our brides.

What Do You Think?

“It may rain”….”One of the groom’s men is not here yet”……”The bridesmaids dress does not fit”…..because she got pregnant, and “the reception location does not have AC and it’s predicted to be 98 degrees”.

These are just a small sample of frantic thoughts, I hear verbalized by brides and grooms before their wedding so, how do I answer each couple?

Glenda Asks: How do you address return labels & reply cards when parents of bride are deceased?

My sister is getting married and our parents are deceased.  How do we address the invitations and RSVP cards? Do you address everything to the bride and groom as though they are already married, or just put my sister (the bride’s) name?
