A Dress of Many Colors
by Sarah Kikkert
We all know that traditional weddings of the past hold a special place in our hearts, but the new fad in weddings these days is a sophisticated combination of traditional and personal; brides today are adding a little bit of pizazz in everything, including their wedding dresses.
White is beautiful in its simplicity and [...]
A Wedding in Kohler
I’ve had the absolutely pleasure and luck to work with all the girls who work within Destination Kohler, which is the umbrella over such fabulous wedding locations as The American Club, Inn on Woodlake, Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run. All weekend, the PGA tour has been happening at Whistling Straits, so of course I’ve been [...]
Photobooths!
It’s still a growing trend in Wisconsin…and still a way fun, interactive way to get your guests goofing off and having a great time at the wedding reception. Photobooths are developing into a fabulous vendor option to add to your wedding. I have to admit, I’ve been having amazing experience with Shutterbox Entertainment. I’ve worked with [...]
Card Box Crazy
by Sarah Kikkert
While the practice of gift giving is nothing if not commonplace at weddings, it is becoming more and more common for the bride and groom to recieve financial gifts in place of a hand picked, monogrammed towel set or vintage china collection. In an era of 60-hour-weeks and last minute shopping, this is [...]
Tulle and Finery
Until recently, tulle was considered passe, very old fashioned, and perhaps just too ’80’s to be considered chic. But recently I’ve been seeing tulle with a strong comeback. Some of my brides are finding gowns that are surprisingly modern, unique and yet feminine and princess-y that make them glow with excitement at wearing something so [...]
Weddings Touched by Toile
For those of you looking to do something just a little different on your wedding day, or add a touch of vintage, think about using toile as accent pieces, or a “main event” of your decor, such as in your linens or part of your invitation suite.
Toile can replace damask, which has been all the [...]
Wrap Me in Veils
The intern and I had a day talking Veils, and then we started to list off all the different kinds available. We discovered both our mothers had the “cap” veils, very usual of the mid-eighties (and other odd periods during the 1900’s). That being said, there are so many other chic and amazing pieces you [...]

Oo la la Orchids
Orchids are fabulous. They hold up well out of water, making them perfect for hair and hot days, and they are hardy enough to be wired from the ceiling without wilting or breaking or loosing petals.
I’m no official florist, but I have enough amazing floral friends that have shown me the magic of orchids so [...]
Non-Floral Centerpieces for your Table
These ideas are not completely new and fresh, but it’s good to be reminded of the other options out there to dress up your wedding reception tables – or, if you’re still desiring that lush floral for the reception, then perhaps for your cocktail lounge.
For those who want to go with either an earthy pizzazz, [...]
Suits of a Different Color
We all know we want the groom and his men lined up in something dapper and refined for the wedding, whether it’s in a well cut suit, a classic tux, or a casual khaki ensemble that fits the weather on a beach. Why not stretch the envelope a little and think about reviving the more [...]
