You ever notice that the first time you do something typically seems to be the hardest? I believe that's why most people hate wedding planning. It's something new that comes at the worst time to be learning something new. We can help you with that!

Private ceremonies can still be shared with friends and family and it can still be beautiful. There's no need to compromise on everything for your wedding day! #nycweddingphotographer @thebrothersgorman #weddingflowers #bridetobe #bridal #weddingdesign #thecapablebride #weddingmd

The signs of summer may be a little different this year, but a beautiful walk by the water is still one of life's great pleasures. #nycweddingphotographer @thebrothersgorman

Do you feel you deserve to enjoy your wedding day? Many times, people feel the need to take all the burden of planning upon themselves. As I’ve said before, planning was never designed as a solo activity. #centerpiece #tablescape #tablesetting #tabledecor #microwedding

What scares you about wedding planning, especially now? I can tell you what I’ve heard and seen from various clients, and I wanted to give voice to some of those challenges. Corona virus sent us in to somewhat of a tailspin. #bride #weddingphotography #thecapablebride

There may be even more day of stationery needs than before the event! From signage to social announcements, there's a lot to consider. #weddingdecor #thecapablebride #weddingmd #nyeventplanning #nyweddingplanning #luxurywedding #blackweddingplanner #weddingdesignideas

First, there's pre-wedding stationery: Engagement Announcement, Save the Date, Engagement Party and Shower Invites, and the Wedding Invitation Suite #weddingplanningtips #weddingstationery

Tthere's a lot more wedding paper involved than just your invitation suite. photographer @brandibrooksphoto #weddingplanningtips #weddingstationery #weddinginvitations #stationery #invitations #weddingrsvp #thecapablebride #weddingmd

We know the world is a very different place now than it was even a month ago. Truthfully, we’ve been trying to adjust to our new (temporary) normal as well, and while you may not have seen posts recently, we are still here helping.#rescheduledontcancel #2020weddingcancelleations

This whole account currently has me crying laughing right now #HashtagTheCowboy

I saved the best for last this week: wedding planner. They are your partner in planning your wedding, helping you get all the pieces you need in place. #centerpiece #tablescape #tablesetting #tabledecor #placesetting #weddingdecor #bestofweddings2020 #weddingstyle

Now, as far as day-of coordinator, month-of coordinator, or event management labels: in a way, some of these are a bit of a misnomer. In order to effectively coordinate an event, you really can’t just show up on the day of the event. #nyweddingplanning #nyceventplanner

When you add an identifier before it, it allows you to see the scope of that work. So therefore, a venue coordinator is there for the venue; a day-of coordinator is just there for the day, etc. #weddingflowers #weddingdesign #thecapablebride #weddingidea #weddingdecor

There’s a lot of acronyms and terminology floating around the wedding industry. You may have heard some of these: wedding planner; wedding designer; floral designer; or day of coordination. #weddingidea #weddingplanning #weddingplanner #weddingdressshopping
