Would love to have the experts weigh-in on this. Writing your own vows...a do, or a don't? Pros and cons to both? What are you planning on doing?

Truth be told: The girl really does make the dress!! No matter how gorgeous the gown, once the bride has it on, it takes it to a whole new level!! Don't you agree?

We're pretty in love with this photo from Amanda Abraham Photography, Inc. of our TGS bride, Kim in her Carol Hannah bridal gown!

In Bloom Flowers & Gifts located in Uptown Maumee always has a creative twist on "typical" wedding flowers. They really excel providing "out of the box ideas" and would be PERFECT for any bride who is looking for a rustic or eclectic style.

Aside from the epically popular Pinterest, what sources have you found to be a good resource for getting ideas? Did you go old school and run to the grocery store and clear out every Bridal magazine on the shelf on your engagement night?! Which one did you find was worth the money? Or did you take to a website designed to spark wedding ideas? If you found a great resource, tell us about it!!

Our website pick: www.Stylemepretty.com .... And our magazine pick: of course The Loop 419; any given issue. (were partial of course, but the best local vendors at your finger tips! And feature weddings are always awesome to check out!!)

A wedding blog for the style obsessed bride.

Had to share!! This idea is Brilliant!!!

"To Dye For" Collection: $700-$900 For brides who love Ivy & Aster but are looking for a lower price point alternative without sacrificing quality, the "To Dye For" collection is for you! Choose from 5 beautiful, chiffon or organza gowns in an array of traditional colors for your wedding day and after your big day Ivy & Aster will hand dye the gown for you any color you would like. What a great way to re-use your gown!

I don't have to tell you the importance of looking and feeling your best for your big day!! These photos will stick with you for the rest of your life, and you want to be 100% confident in your skin. Have you heard the buzz on barre classes? If you have not, let me be the first to tell you that these workouts at Tonic Maumee have been the very BEST way to tone up and shed inches specific to women's "problem areas." Drink the kool aid!! Try one class, and you'll be hooked, I promise!!

VERY excited to share this offer with other Brides!! I started Bridal Bootcamp last week at Tonic Maumee and already feeling great!! BeyondBarre is my new obsession!! I urge you to check it out!

Spent the evening with two very inspiring women!! Amanda Rahe took some amazing photos at the the home of Toledo's real life "Martha Stewart", Kelly Nadaud of Sheffield Road. Here's a preview of what's to come!! Kelly is truly the Pinterest before Pinterest, and walking through her home is nothing short of something out of a magazine. It's amazing what an eye she has for details that make the difference. Can't wait to share some of our favorite tips we picked up with you!! Stay tuned!!

The Pinnacle & Central Park West is a great venue for ceremonies and receptions!! If you are looking for an elegant outdoor ceremony, be sure to check them out! Their Terrace makes for fabulous setting!! Personal note: They literally have THE best coffee I have ever tasted!! (Bizarre, comment I know) but if you are having your wedding there, or are there for a tasting, or just attending a wedding there you have to try it!!

Many of our lovely brides hold their ceremonies on our terrace, with a reception to follow in the ballroom. We're so impressed by the unique ways in which they decorate this space. The water wall as a backdrop makes for a very serene setting.

Love the idea of this page being able to bridge the gap between brides and wedding professionals as well as brides with other brides! Let's capitalize on the opportunity to help each other out with recommendations!

What is left on your to do list that still needs checked off? Do you need a specific vendor recommendation?

17/05/2013

We'll be kicking of our first "Page Exclusive" story next week, with Tips from Kelly Nadaud, of Sheffield Road, as she talks us through selecting pieces for your Bridal Registry!

Have you hit the point of "Final Details"? Let's face it, can be one of the most stressful part in the planning process. All your planning is about to come to a head, do you have your bases covered? A tip from us: talk to your vendors about their past experience with your venue. Just because a venue has a "planner/coordinator" doesn't mean things always go as planned. Take this pressure and anxiety off your plate, and ENJOY your day!! Let Bee For The Day take care of implementing the schedule and keeping all of your vendors on track. Timing will be everything in terms of keeping the day running smoothly.

17/05/2013

Welcome brides!! Congratulations on your Big day!! We look forward to arming you with our best tips and suggestions from some of the best vendors in the area to make the overwhelming decisions ahead seem like a piece of cake!! You can look forward to more feature weddings exclusively for this page, weekly tips from our vendors and share ideas and personal testimony with other brides in this area!!
