How to Plan a Winter Wedding in Hampton Roads | Business

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…

How to Plan a Fall Wedding in Hampton Roads | Heart's Content Events Feature | Business

There’s an amazing feeling in the air…the weather has cooled down, the sweaters have come out, the leaves are beginning to change to gorgeous bold colors, suddenly almost EVERYTHING in stores, and especially coffee shops, have something labeled as “Pumpkin” or “Pumpkin Spice,” and the overall feeling of coziness and relief from the oh so hot and humid Virginia summers. You guessed it! It’s Fall, y’all! And it’s the perfect time for weddings, engagement sessions, and proposals! There’s a reason “Virginia is for Lovers” is the tourism and travel slogan for our great state--it’s nothing short of true! Virginia weather, history, venues, and even the nature around us lends itself to gorgeous weddings all year long, and especially in the Fall! It’s one of my favorite seasons (only second best to Spring), and I’m so excited to chat about my favorite Fall Wedding ideas and details!

There are some really stunning venues in Hampton Roads that really lend themselves well to Fall scenery! It’s always my goal on the designing side of my business to to use the venue and natural scenery provided as inspiration for any details and embellishments used in a wedding. These three venues are only a few of my favorites that are the perfect canvas for any Fall wedding...

Resources for Your Marriage | Beyond the Big Day

Resources for Your Marriage | Beyond the Big Day

I love weddings, but I have always been clear that I am a firm believer in marriages above weddings. I believe too many brides focus on the big day, and not on the life change about to happen and the journey that is going to unfold. There are so many resources to help us get ready for the wedding day that are right at our fingertips, but to find resources that will help your marriage is something you have to be proactive about.

It's so important to me that my business makes an impact on marriages. I become friends with my brides not only because I truly love each and every one of them, but I want to help them in any way I can as they prepare for one of the biggest changes they will ever go through!
