A Wedding Cookie Table — It’s a Thing…

I was listening to a cooking Podcast called "The Crumb" today driving home from town. They were discussing a cookbook written about Midwest baking and the topic came up about the tradition of "cookie tables" at a wedding. I was intrigued. I had never heard of them so I perked up to hear more about them. Wedding "cookie tables" are a wedding tradition that is hard to pin the exact origin, however, they are a "must" in Ohio it seems. There does appear to be a bit of controversy between ... View Post

All For Love Bridal Show Review: Romantic Lace, Creamy Colors and All That Glitters for 2017

 Saturday's All For Love Bridal Show in Clear Lake, Iowa was like getting to be in an episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" -- which is I secretly binge watch after my husband has gone to bed.   So much fun!  I had a great time at my table visiting with participants at my table, but the highlight of the day was watching the fashion show put on by Bliss Bridal and Formalwear.  Unfortunately the men's wear from Moorman Clothier's got hung up miles away in the snow storm on Friday.  Bummer. I did ... View Post

Themed Weddings – Renaissance, Civil War, The Wizard of OZ – Oh My!

This fall will be our first Renaissance wedding and I am very excited -- what fun!  I've been pinning ideas and digging through my Renaissance Fair pictures with the couple to come ... View Post

5 Tips to Save Time and Money When Planning Your Rustic Country Wedding

Having a rustic country wedding can be expensive and a logistic nightmare if you don't do your homework in advance.  Country venues are often miles away from the nearest town -- hence the term "country" and the price varies greatly.  Get out your paper, brush up on your math skills and do some cost comparisons.   A venue that charges $6,000 compared to one that is $5000 may seem like it's only $1000 difference, but you need to find out what is included -- it is possible the $6,000 venue could ...
