I've seen so many grooms on blogs pitching in and helping out with wedding planning...and we love them all for it! But sometimes there are grooms that aren't so crafty and just don't know what to do, or they think the bride and her girls are going to do all of the planning!! What about your groom, did he help you plan or make DIY details? My husband was there for every venue meeting and taste testing and gave me his opinion when I showed him ideas for our centerpieces and cake. We didn't have many DIY items but for our awesome card box my husband helped me hot glue it and put it together. Some things, like the horrible print at home invitations, I did myself and wished I had a little more help, but I am grateful for everything he did help me with and that he was involved in most of it.

For all those brides out there who are looking to get their grooms more involved continue reading @ 4 Wedding Details to Get Your Groom Involved With!

(He may not know how to make these...)

(But maybe him and his boys can put on a show like this!)

A Fairytale Wedding....

You love weddings right, well don't tell me that you haven't heard about Prince William's engagement to his beautiful girlfriend Kate Middleton! Yes, she is beautiful even if we're all jealous that the Prince is getting married to someone other than us! Did you dream of marrying him when you were younger, did you ever have a crush on him?! I think I just wanted to be Princess Diana's daughter-in-law...how cute would that be to have a daughter-in-law with the same first name! HAHA! I think she is smiling in heaven and is very proud of her son and soon to be daughter-in-law.

Now that everyone knows there is a soon to be Fairytale Royal wedding, every designer wants to be the one to create Kate's stunning, one of a kind wedding gown.

I have my favorite already...continue reading @ 7 Designer Bridal Gown Sketches for Kate Middleton to pick your favorite...and Kate's!

Think...Think...Think!

Sometimes we get stuck for ideas for our wedding and wonder where to find inspiration. We want ideas that haven't been thought of or something new but that still speaks of who we are. Where did you find inspiration for your wedding? I thought of things we like, i.e. I love butterflies and he loves football! So I put butterflies in our centerpieces and had a Steelers groom's cake made for him! We all look on blogs and in bridal magazines and sometimes we still don't see what we like.
