New Office Hours

As a wedding planner, I like to be available to my clients whenever they need me. Lately, that has meant in the mornings, in the evenings, and even in the middle of the night when I often get up and respond to emails (NOT a healthy habit!). In order to be a better wedding planner, I need to create a little bit of balance while still being available to my clients when needed. I have come up with brand new office hours. Since some clients are only available in the mornings or at night, I have created a schedule to please everyone!


Starting September 7th, here is when you can reach me:

Monday: 4pm to 10pm
Tuesday: 4pm to 10pm
Wednesday: 9am to 3pm
Thursday: 4pm to 10pm
Friday: 9am to 3pm

*Saturday & Sunday are by appointment only based on our wedding schedule.


During the times above, you'll be able to call us, email us, or schedule meetings with us! In the other times, you can find me working on my business, reading my nook, drinking a glass of local wine, or traveling - all things that I look forward to doing this fall in between planning some really, awesome weddings!

Inspire Me Monday: Yellow & Magenta


I adore the pairing of yellow dresses with magenta shoes. These bridesmaids look absolutely adorable. Don't be afraid to stray from tradition and use fun colors that will really make your girls stand out!

Real Wedding: Tamara & Jorge


It has been insanely hot in New Jersey and I am dying for some cooler fall weather. To get in the cool weather mindset, here is one of our awesome real weddings from last September at Florentine Gardens!







I love this ring holder. It screams fall and is such a breath of fresh air from the typical ring bearer pillow.

How I Would Plan Ali & Roberto's Wedding!


Last night on The Bachelorette, Ali made her decision. Overlooking the gorgeous water in Bora Bora, Roberto proposed to Ali. They have plans to wed next spring and I have already planned out the details for them!


I think that Ali & Roberto should have a tropical wedding, possibly right back where they solidified their love for each other in Bora Bora. The wedding will be full of vibrant colors to match Ali's sunny personality. The wedding details will be tropical inspired using pinks, oranges, yellows and greens. The flowers will be straight from the tropics: hyacinths, orchids, and plumeria. Given Ali's personality and dress choices on the show, I think she'd look beautiful in Coco by Amsale. It's the perfect mix of fun and tradition in a casually elegant way. Her hair should be loosely curled with a tropical flower to complete the look. Most importantly, Ali & Roberto would be surrounded by their friends family enjoying great food, drinks and of course........dancing the salsa!

What details would you choose for Ali & Roberto?
