Vendor News: Music is Booked!
About a month ago I took to Facebook’s recommendation posting and asked my friends for advice on affordable DJ’s in the area. As expected, I was granted far more options than I knew with what to do! However, the worship leader at G’s and my church had also commented on the post that his band,…

#Inspiration: Floral Centerpieces
I met with our florist today (Flora Lia of Baroda, Michigan) and spoke to her on the general idea of what we would like in terms of centerpieces and decor pieces at the wedding. I will admit it, I know nothing about flowers. I am no green thumb — I have killed every plant that…
