A creative interview with the area’s best Scranton, Poconos, Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia wedding vendors.
SPOILER ALERT: There is no one “right” or “wrong” way for you and your VIPs to enter for your ceremony. But building your own processional can be a confusing process if you’re tasked with creating it yourselves. If you’re getting married in a church or incorporating a lot of religious or cultural el [...]
You make a LOT of decisions as a couple when you're planning your wedding. One of those decisions is WHO gets the honor of officiating your ceremony. If you're reading this and thinking:"We already know. We're asking a friend or family member to do it."... Well, I'm BEYOND happy that you've stumbled [...]
Since January is a big month for self-care and setting new goals for ourselves, I wanted to take a moment to remind you, dear reader, that wedding planning can be HARD. (Wait, did you need that reminder?) Ok, I mean wedding planning can be a lot of hard work and it's important to take care of yourse [...]
This past July, Erin and Mike said their "I Do's" at their backyard wedding on Erin's family property in Thompson, Pennsylvania. The property was gorgeous and anything you could ever wish for when you think of a "backyard wedding". Their ceremony would take place next to a beautiful lake and Erin, a [...]
On the final weekend of August in the summer of 2016, Ariel and Dray said their "I Do's" and opened their hearts at their beautiful wedding at Friedman Farms in Dallas, PA. Some of my favorite pros came together to make the day not only enjoyable but positively stunning. (However, in all truths, the [...]
While I might not be color blind, I am absolutely DREADFUL at putting together colors. Most of my wardrobe is black and neutrals mainly because of this problem. I currently moan and groan about the color I chose to recently paint our living and dining rooms because of this problem. And for the love [...]
Each year, our couples take me and the DPNAK crew along with them on some amazing journeys to such BEAUTIFUL Phoenix wedding venues. I can't help but think how lucky we are every single time we get to be a part of such stunning wedding days. That being said, we had the pleasure of working at some aw [...]
Ohhhhhh my goodness. I've been hinting at a top-secret, behind-the-scenes project for a while now and I'm so happy to be (finally) sharing more details with you! If you follow me on Insta, Facebook or Twitter (eh-hem), you may have seen this amazing and stellar announcement already. If you don't, wh [...]
When you're searching for your team of wedding professionals (photographer, florist, baker, DJ, caterer, etc.) and you finally find that person or company who feels like they may be a good fit for what you need, it's then time to send them a message. This first message is called an "inquiry" because [...]
A few weekends ago, as we were getting ready to start a wedding rehearsal at one of our couple's venues, the on-site coordinator walked up to our client with a clipboard and piece of paper. We knew in a heartbeat that it was a "dreaded" questionnaire. Now, we're really not fans when venues and vendo [...]
Way, way back in 2011 we interviewed Doug Mackie of Omnivent Event Services. Through the past four years, we've learned more about Doug and his insane talent for completely transforming spaces in the most stellar and professional of ways. He's expanded, grown and become even more of a cool guy that [...]
It's safe to say that there are very few things left once your wedding day is all over. While the food eventually gets eaten and the flowers start to wilt, photography and videography are two of biggest keepsakes you have once it's all said and done. For this reason, I can't recommend hiring the bes [...]
Oh, this lady. This incredibly sweet, sassy, fun, and just amazing human being is also a brilliant photographer and I've been waiting since January to share this goodness with you all. We first showcased Danielle's work from Chelsey and Brian's wedding last October and it was such a pleasure to work [...]
In 2012, I had the pleasure of being part of Sarah and Bart's lakeside wedding and the super-sweet Karla Korn was their photographer. Ever since, I've had fun following along in her adventures and I'm so honored and happy to showcase her in this month's spotlight. Ladies and gents, meet Karla of Kar [...]
