VOW Weddings: Jacqueline & Jonathan

After having been out on “maternity leave” for about 2 years back in Feb, 2016 I decided to get back into the wedding planning game…this was one of my first weddings in the game…I think part of why I chose to do this wedding at that time in my life was because the Bride was an acquaintance & I knew that although my confidence level when it comes to wedding is pretty high, after not doing one for about 2 years I was still a little nervous…

Jackie & Jonathan were such an incredible couple…not only because of their amazing energy, but they both made me feel incredibly comfortable & confident to get back into doing weddings. I know 2 years isn’t a long time to be on leave from something like this…it’s really like riding a bike…but I was still nervous nevertheless…

Here are a few highlights from that amazing wedding….The Dress…The Wedding Party…The Details…the Energy! It was palpable…

 This was an amazing wedding…the energy was amazing…the guests had an unbelievable time & everything went the way it should have…

I’m Making a Come Back!!!

Ahhh the joys of being a wedding planner…there is truly nothing like being a part of a couple’s most special day…and there is nothing like watching it all just move along perfectly…I love my day job as an HR Director…but I also love my job as a wedding planner….

I have taken a bit of a backseat from wedding planner because well…motherhood…a full time job…job losses…a separation & all that good/bad/ugly stuff in between! But I’m getting back in the game after a 3 year hiatus & it feels sooo good!

I’ll be getting back into posting on my blog…I’ll be getting back to highlighting some of my weddings…and I’ll be getting back to maybe not only talking about weddings, but being a Mom! Which now has become such a huge part of my life that sometimes putting it all out there creates a sense of peace.

I’m a full time working mom, I run my own side business as a wedding planner & I’m doing it pretty much on my own! And I’m trying to kick ass at it. So I want to inspire my readers not only from the wedding planning sense, but now maybe as a mom, as a career woman & as a single woman…

The Hurricane & The Planner

I never in my entire life thought that I would ever experience or be affected by such a devastating circumstance. I’m Laura, I’m a Wedding Planner & Blogger and I live in Long Beach, New York. I wanted to write this post not because I want to gain any sort of sympathy or have a […]

A Bachelorette Weekend

Next weekend myself & a few of my besties are going away for my Bachelorette Party Weekend ~ Hot Spot ~ Newport, Rhode Island. This lovely little town has a special place in my heart. I turned the BIG 30! there {a few years back} and I just fell in love with this quaint seaside […]

Fuzzy Favorite’s Friday No.3

It’s that time again…Favorite’s Friday & this time it’s all about feeling warm & fuzzy inside. Images that make you go awwwww ~ Brides & Grooms utterly in love ~ Basically anything that made my heart smile this week on Pinterest. I want to start off these Fuzzy Favorite’s with the following image ~ Mainly […]

Obsession Anemone

My new IT flower ~ Anemones! And they seem to be increasingly more popular. There is something soft, romantic, yet edgy about these flowers. The pretty petals on the outside & that dark core center give these flowers that little pop in pictures. From a durability standpoint they are a little more delicate & don’t […]

Favorites Friday No. 2

TGIF ~ Had an interesting week at my day job {as a Human Resources Director} ~ And so as I get ready to enjoy a great weekend with friends, I’ve put together my Pinterest Picks for the Favorites Friday series post. This week was all about lighter more romantic choices. Sometimes when I have tougher […]

Insight Into The Planner

I visit numerous wedding blogs on a daily basis. And I sometimes wonder who’s behind all that inspiration & point of view. Some blogs just report on weddings, vendors & products within the industry. Some give you a small glimpse into who the writer is…on a recent blog I noticed a great post. A Monthly […]

Inspired by Pinterest Series

For some of you that know me on a personal level I’ve been recently OBSESSED with Pinterest & I pin not only for wedding related topics but pretty much everything under the sun. I’ve decided to do a weekly post series that highlights some of my favorite pins from the previous/current week. I’m often inspired by […]

VOW Wedding ~ Giselle & Efrain 8.24.12

This wedding was a little bitter sweet ~ Mainly because as my wedding day approaches I’ve decided to take a small sabbatical from planning client weddings. I will continue working with my vendors on referrals and consulting brides on a minimal basis ~ But I need to focus on my up & coming wedding & […]

A “SWEET” Treat Experience

The wedding planning process continues ~ With our cake tasting experience a few weeks ago! This was by far one of the most fun things we’ve done together…I mean who doesn’t like going to a bake shop & sample all the wonderful flavors they make & talk about yet another creative vision that I have […]

NEW ~ Client Review ~ WeddingWire

It’s always amazing to read client reviews once I’ve completed their wedding. Her words warmed my heart & they were both a delight to work with. Thank you Christine & Eddy for continuing to validate why I love this job!

Christine & Eddy: Highlight Video

It’s here! And I’m very excited. My client’s highlight video by Love & You Video. I’m not gonna lie ~ I got a little emotional & all choked up. It’s really amazing to see these videos & witness the joy in their faces after the fact. Working my client’s weddings you get wrapped up in […]

Taste The Cakes

I can honestly say I’ve never had a big sweet tooth….I don’t crave cakes or cookies…but I’m delighted at the thought that next week we are going for our Wedding Cake tasting & design appointment! Through my many client weddings I’ve had the pleasure & sometimes not so much pleasure of tasting all the cakes […]

VOW Wedding: Christine & Eddy

This past weekend I did a client wedding in Central Park at the Boathouse. I’ve been working with this client since last year & Christine & Eddy came to me as a referral from a prior client who’s wedding I did back in 2009 ~ Click on image to take you to post about their […]

Thinking.Paper.

I have to admit when thinking about wedding invitations I’ve never been an “Ooohhhh” or “Ahhhh” type of person. Don’t get me wrong, I love that Invitations are really the FIRST impression your guests get about your event…but I guess for me I know that guests get them…Ohhh & Ahhh over them for 2 minutes…put […]

Hair & Makeup Trial

This weekend I get to be made up! I’m doing my hair & makeup trial on Sunday. To say I’m really excited is an understatement! When picking who I would use as my “Beauty Crew”…I knew instantly that Michelle Larner would be my go to girl! I’ve had a relationship with her for quite a […]

I Said YES to the Dress!

On April 21st, 2012 I said YES to my Dress….and here is how the whole experience went down. Like I tell all my Brides right before they get their dresses….when they ask me, “but how will I know?”…I say trust me…you will know! Everyday when I go to work I pass this small Bridal Boutique […]

The DRESS!

Now of course I’m not going to disclose THE dress that I do decide to buy…but I wanted to write a post of just the overall process of shopping & where my mind is taking me right now as far as styles….what I wind up picking may be totally different from what I have in […]

Devil is in the Details

There are so many elements that have to come together for any wedding. And ours is no exception. All I know is that I have this vision in my head & all I care about is bringing it to life. With all the bells & whistles I don’t want to skimp on anything. Now my […]
