Top Tips for Friday & Sunday Weddings
Getting married on a Saturday seems like the norm, so Saturday dates fill up first for weddings. Some clients will wait for a year even two years to get a Saturday date, but we say, "Why wait?" If you open yourself up to the idea of a Friday or Sunday wedding you will find some real advantages. Here are our favorite reasons to go with a Friday or Sunday wedding and they are quite enticing.
Wedding Photographer - Kelly Sweet
Kelly Sweet is a wonderful photographer and we've been lucky to work with her many times. Her photogrpahy is so beautiful. The images she captures are so soft and have such stunning light. Recently we asked her to share a bit about herself and her thoughts on weddings.
The Second Dance - Parent Dance Song Options
The second dance at a wedding is usually the Parent Dance. Often times couples default to songs that are expected or typical. So we pulled together our list of favorite Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dance songs.

Wedding Trends We Love - Colored Glassware
Color is back in for wedding designs in 2017. After a couple years dominated by neutrals and blush, colorful palettes are back in favor. We love this trend for florals, attire and on the tablescape.
