Tip of the Day: Spring is associated with vibrant flowers, but it’s the welcome sight of green — especially after this brutal winter —  that adds a fresh look to a springtime wedding or bridal shower. Ask your florist to include lots of greenery in your floral arrangements. We love this garden-chic monogram that was created using moss!

Tip of the Day: We love this whimsical idea for a bridal shower! It’s a selfie station with cute hair accessories and a sign instructing guests to "put a bow on it." Guests can dress up their ‘dos and take fun snapshots that they can post on social media, which you can gather into an album later on.

Tip of the Day: In the '80s and '90s, it was common for videographers to go from table to table filming guests' well wishes for the newlyweds. Now, in a modern twist, couples are setting up video stations in lieu of a guest book table so that their loved ones can record their message whenever they'd like!

Tips for Hiring a Wedding Planner

Since my fiancé Chris and I are currently living in different cities, I was feeling pretty lonely during the search for our perfect wedding venue. Each and every one of them was incredible but something was missing...Chris! Everything feels half as fun when he's not around, but I chose my new job as San Diego 6 News' evening anchor, so I just have to suck it up and learn to appreciate every blessing (and there are many). I just wish that my fiancé was here so that we could enjoy the planning process together...soon, I hope!

It was almost as if my best friend Katie could sense my sadness because she sent me a text (one of probably 200 that we send throughout each day) about Christina from OBSESSEDevents, a friend of hers who offered to help us plan our wedding. I couldn't have heard those words at a better time. (This experience has taught me that it's ok to ask for help. When you have a moment of sadness or are feeling worn down during wedding planning, please know that this is the time to reach out.)

Tip of the Day: One of the areas where wedding couples under-register is with sheet sets for their beds. For each bed in your home, you’ll want at least three sheet sets and two comforters or blankets, plus an extra set of pillowcases. And if it’s a possibility that a guest could ever crash on your couch, get a sheet set for that as well.
