Tips from a Wedding Pro

{Kermit Ruffins leading the 2nd Line at our wedding}

One of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding was to hire a wedding planner. Living in New York, but planning a huge event in my hometown in the boondocks of North Carolina...not easy folks. I shudder to think of the stress that would have ensued had we tried to do this ourselves...mostly because at first my mom & I DID try to plan it ourselves.

We didn't just get anyone to help us. We hired Ivy Robinson. I mention her today for 2 reasons - the first is that we are in engagement season. The holidays are major engagement time & Valentines' Day is around the corner. It's wedding planning time!

Reason 2 is because Ivy recently wrote an article for the Charlotte edition of nFocus Magazine with tips on making your wedding day more reflective of you & less like everyone else. There are a few photos in it which may look familiar :)

So! If anyone in North or South Carolina is reading this & you want a wedding that is fun, stress-free & all around amazing, do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars - call Ivy!!
