How to Plan a Spring Wedding in Hampton Roads | Business

Today I'm excited to introduce my dear friend Holly of Just Dandy Events. She is a talented wedding planner in our area and is kindly bringing her expertise on planning a spring wedding in Hampton Roads to my blog. Read on to find out how to plan the perfect wedding for one of my favorite seasons!

Oh Virginia. I just love our sweet state. It has so much to offer, especially when it comes to weddings. And personally, my favorite season for a Virginia wedding is spring. The air has finally started to lose its chill and it’s not yet humid.  All the flowers are blooming and the colors are just incredible.  It’s the perfect balance between the harsh winter and the insanely hot summer...

The Wedding Timeline: Getting Ready | Business

I have been wanting to write this timeline series for awhile now, so I'm glad to finally get started! The wedding timeline is one of the most important parts of the planning process (and most wedding planners would probably agree!). Today I want to share what I have learned from photographing dozens of weddings, and provide some tips for brides planning their weddings in Hampton Roads.

One of the biggest decisions that will affect your timeline is whether or not to have a first look. I will blog about this more next week, but having a first look puts almost all the portrait time before the ceremony instead of after, and changes how the timeline is built. Most of my couples do opt to have a first look, so I will assume that is happening for this blog series...

I'm so thrilled to introduce to you Kelsey, my dear friend and wedding planner with Kelsey Ann Events. She is a wedding planner located in Hampton Roads, Virginia. I asked her to write a blog for me about planning the perfect winter wedding in Hampton Roads, and she has some amazing venue and décor ideas for brides planning weddings in December, January, and February.

When Maria asked me to write a blog on winter weddings… I was absolutely thrilled! Despite the bad rap that winter gets from most people, I am its biggest fan. In fact, I am finishing up this blog post in the midst of our own “snowpocalapse” and I am loving every second of it! To me- winter is the season for snow, snuggling and staying home. Does it get any better than that? Yes it does- because winter is simply the BEST when you get to experience it with that special someone. Bring all of the best elements of winter to life with an intimate and elegant wedding! The place to start planning is to pick the ideal venue for the occasion…
