Ashley's intern application was full of personality.  It showed her loved of horses and all things country.   When we first met her in person, she was warm and genuine.  She has a quiet confidence and an infectious smile. And other than her love for UK, I think we'll get along just fine.  Ashley's first event with us is coming up, so we'll be sure to share her thoughts later this month, until

Therese caught our eye in her "top ten" list she submitted.  I found out all of the info I needed to bring her in... she loves her Bengals and attends Ohio University.  And from her answers below is the only intern that answered 4-6 correct!   In all seriousness, it was evident at her interview that Therese was honest, hardworking and with an eagerness to learn and do whatever it takes.  She has

When we interviewed Erin, we knew immediately she was perfect for our team.  She is energetic, driven and has a confidence that is rare for a junior in college.  She has not disappointed us, she's already proven herself an extremely competent and valuable member of the CEP team  We thought you might like to get to know her (and the other interns) a little better, so we gave them a quick ten

Jenni + Michael were perhaps two of the sweetest people we've ever worked with.  Their wedding was last June at Paul Brown Stadium.. They just welcomed a son into the world this week.  Annie Varland (named best baby + children's photographer by Cincinnati Magazine!) was there to capture the event on film.  Check out the amazing photos on her blog.   Congratulations Jenni + Michael, Caleb is lucky

If you live in the greater Cincinnati area, you know today is opening day and that Cincinnati is a baseball town.  Good or bad, we love our Reds. So in honor of opening day, I thought I'd share some super cute baseball themed wedding ideas I've come across. Lucky for CEP, we  had a couple that loved the Reds so much, they had a Reds themed wedding.  Amanda + Mike were married on the field and

Hard to believe it has already been a year since we took over the town of Pinehurst, NC for your wedding. And even crazier to think in a few short months you'll be welcoming a little baby girl into the world. I think of your wedding often, and fondly. By far the most dynamic and open minded couple I have ever worked with. Both of you are beautiful inside and out. Happy 1 year anniversary.Enjoy

One of my absolute favorite color combos involves a conservative neutral, navy + a gorgeous trendy bright color, orange. This look could work for virtually any wedding event, or make your bridesmaids happy and let them rock this look. I promise they will wear each piece again and again. It won't break the bank either - the entire look is under $250!dress - anthropologie | necklace - etsy |

It's been a long time since I've been able to choose decor for a little girl's birthday. It's been nearly 7 years since my older two have let me have any say in the party theme or decor. And in the last two years it's been nothing but football and baseball for my little man.So, with our youngest turning one in only 6 weeks, I am so excited to have a perfectly pink girly party. Think fluffy,

Do you (or your fiance) have two left feet? Maybe you have considered dancing lessons to help prepare for the first dance when all eyes are on you but it just seemed too pricey. Well we found a great deal that starts @ 9am this morning. Arthur Murray is offering discounted dance lessons via CincySavers. Here is what you get for $30.00... yes $30.00One (1) certificate valid for two (2)

Anne + Matt are getting married in May of 2011. Anne is originally from Anderson Twp (my kind of girl!) but they are currently living in Boston. So what a perfect place to have their engagement session. They flew the incredibly talented Nathan from Fyrefly Photography to Boston for their pics and they turned out amazing. Here is a peek of my favorite... For the rest check out Nathan's blog.

We're so excited to finally introduce our newest intern, Paige. She actually introduced herself to us at Michelle + Jeff's wedding in October of last year and asked about a possible internship (gotta love a girl with drive!). We let her know to watch the blog and we would be hiring an intern for the following summer. And wouldn't you know it - she was the first to respond with her top ten list (

I've been working with Brandi + Mike (ok, mostly Brandi) for many months now on their upcoming August wedding. Such a sweet couple - the fabulous Amanda Egan captured them perfectly! Seriously, how cute are they? I think my favorite might be the last one.

Today's outfit is for an unofficial "event" - Meet the Parents/Meet the In-laws. The dress is young + fun but still conservative enough to please any future mother-in-law.

After a morning of very heavy rain, the skies opened up to make sure that Jenni + Michael had a perfect wedding day. I loved working with this couple, who were so laid back and giddy in love. They just wanted to be married, and nothing could ruin their day. Jenni was quick with a shoulder shrug, or "whatever" when it came to making decisions. A truly relaxed bride, and it showed! The couple had

One thing many of our couples nearly forget about is the marriage license. Not just applying for one, but actually remembering to bring it. We always include it on the checklist for our final meeting so we can bring it to the rehearsal. If it doesn't make it to the final meeting we put it on the rehearsal checklist. This makes just one last thing you have to remember on your wedding day! Also

Our little guy turns two today! Due to our vacation schedule we had his birthday this past Saturday. He loves baseball (well pretty much any sport with a ball!) so it seemed like the perfect theme to start the summer. We started with this invitation to set the tone for the day:The menu included ballpark fare such as hot dogs, stadium brats, popcorn and of course peanuts. We also had mini Baby

I can't believe it's been three years already. Today's weather is actually quite a bit like the day we were married, sunny + hot. I was fine but Kev and his groomsmen definitely felt the heat. I wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding... it was exactly what we wanted + reflected us perfectly as a couple. I am so blessed to have such an amazing man as my best friend and husband.

Yes, yes, I know most brides + grooms have a registry and for good reason. But sometimes the only thing left on the registry is a wooden spoon or a gift out of your price range. Or maybe you are pretty close to the couple and want to buy something a little more memorable + personable than a gravy boat. Insert Uncommon Goods. It's one of my favorite online shops for fun + funky gifts. Here are a

I am so excited to share a few sneak peaks from Meg and Kevin's amazing North Carolina wedding. I think fate brought Meg and I together. We met at a friends wedding in Key West a year ago and she jumped at the opportunity to have someone help put her wedding together. What an amazing wedding weekend in Pinehurst, NC it turned out to be. We couldn't have asked for better weather, 70's and sunny,

This board started out as a golf inspired inspiration board (mainly because Lindsey + Christy were in Pinehurst N.C. for an amazing destination wedding this weekend)... but then it morphed into a country club inspired, preppy chic board.

Yes, straws. Simple, I know, but having these on hand makes a word of difference, just ask your makeup artist. Use a straw to keep your gloss from disappearing each time you take a drink. They are also easier for those of us who are, let's say, accident prone. If you are super clumsy (we all know who we are) try a cup with a lid + straw to make spills even less likely.

To say that Amanda + Mike are big Cincinnati Reds fans is an understatement. You may remember their 2008 wedding that literally took place on the infield of Great American Ballpark. So when they sent me photos of their new addition - Zachary 'Zac' - I wasn't surprised to find a slew of baseball themed photos. I love this one - notice the Reds hat is personalized with their last name too.

This 40 degree weather is giving me spring fever. This week's board is a perfect look ahead to spring... a vintage garden wedding. It all started with the dress by Carol Hannah (Project Runway) that I found via Etsy. The end result is a board that is soft, romantic and chic all at the same time.{Dress, Table Setting, Birdcage, Bouquet, Cake Table, Invitation, Armoire}

One of the services we are most often asked about is developing a timeline. The task seems to be a daunting one that most of our brides are overwhelmed with. And no, we aren't talking about the pretty picture timeline like the one to the left. These are fun for the bridal party or family to have to know the basics but a detailed timeline is broken down in much smaller intervals with more details

Today's post was inspired by suggestions from two wonderful women and wedding business owners.... Nance @ Brideface and Annie @ Varland Photography. Nancy suggested engagement photos as the event for today and Annie pointed me over to Kortnee Kate's blog to check out a fab coat in a recent e-pic shoot. I combined both ideas for today's what to wear wednesday board - a winter engagement shoot. Who

I absolutely love this shot by Neysa Ruhl Photography. Neysa has such an amazing eye and it incredibly talented, not to mention sweet as can be! This stunning bride just happens to be my cousin Laura (ok, technically my husband's cousin) as well. For more photos from Laura + Josh's wedding at the Madison check out Neysa's blog.

While reading Courtenay Lambert's blog, I was immediately struck by the amazing color in this bridal party shot by Cindy of Wagner Photographics. I knew I would have to use it for a future inspiration board. The dresses are striking and the bouquets are stunning. I had a great time finding pieces for this board. As gorgeous as this color combo is, it isn't done as often as the pink and kiwi or

We've all heard the three Rs a million+ times... reduce, reuse, recycle. Hopefully we're all doing our part daily.... but what about when you are planning your wedding??? Reusing other couples' wedding items is a perfect way to go green + save money while planning your wedding. There are a ton of websites offering gently used wedding items for sale at bargain prices.These sites are also great for

I met Jenni when she was a bridesmaid in Stacey + Joe's wedding in November of 2008. We were so excited when she decided to use CEP for her upcoming wedding to Michael this June at Paul Brown Stadium. I picked a few of my favorites by Varland Photography but make sure you check out Annie's blog for more pics. I love the idea of an e-pic session at the zoo!

Today's event? Date night - in honor of Valentine's Day this weekend. In the craziness of wedding planning and attending showers + parties, you can forget about spending time alone together with (gasp!) no wedding talk! Trust me you should definitely take a night for dinner for two, see a show or movie or just get out with the two of you. The splurge in today's outfit is the dress from the

Ok, so the title is terribly cheesy, but I just couldn't help myself. Seriously though, how romantic is this engagement picture shot by the incredibly talented bobbi + mike? I love the city (Chicago) + the snow + the energy of the whole shoot. Check out the rest on bobbi + mike's blog here.

This week's board is inspired by Valentine's Day... it's only appropriate right? I love the vintage glam feel of this board. A little edgy but still romantic + sexy. Again, we are happy to feature several Cincinnati vendors in this board - cake by Jerry's Cheesecakes (perhaps the most decadent + delicious cheesecake on earth), hairpiece by Pin Me Up Couture, placecards by Giddy Ink and bouquet by

I don't know about you, but I love having Ikea in the area. Sure it's not super convenient for me, and I can't spend less than an hour in there at a time, but still - I'm in love. While looking for vases for an upcoming event, I stumbled across some great deals on vases - perfect for centerpieces. All of the vases we're showing you today are under $5 each. There are a ton more in the $5-$15

What OTC meds do we keep in our kit? We thought we'd share a list of the ones we use most. Of course you can avoid the need for most of these by getting a good night's sleep, eating a healthy dinner/breakfast + not stressing out on your big day! But just in case, here's a peek inside our "traveling pharmacy"Headaches + Migraines + Pain ReliefWe like to keep several of these types on hand.

This cold weather is giving me cabin fever... so today's outfit is for your honeymoon (on the beach of course!). I love the versatility of the combinations below. Two different tops - one for lounging pool or oceanside and the other if you are playing some beach volleyball or something active. Same with the cover-up options - one for the heat of the day and one for a walk on the beach at

We love planning events in new spaces. This one is no different. The Womens Art Club Cultural Center (also know as The Barn) is a gorgeous space nestled in a relatively residential area in Mariemont, Ohio. The rooms have been renovated and there is space for a large tent in the courtyard space. Current cost to rent the entire space is an extremely reasonable $700. Take a look at some of

This board started with a bouquet from Courtenay Lambert Florals, one of our favorite floral designers. The bouquet is from the real wedding of Nancy from Brideface (another favorite of ours). After finding the monogram from yet another favorite, Lucky Designs, and searching another fab source, Etsy, the board came together beautifully.Bouquet Dress Cupcakes Earrings Poms Pillow Pin Clutch

I confess, I've been slightly obsessed with this ring bearer pillow from Cucire by Andrea Rae since the first time I saw it. Check out her entire collection of handmade items on Etsy or stop by The Bridal Studio in Covington, KY - they have plenty of Cucire items for sale as well. Oh and did I mention Andrea is another one of our former clients?

Congratulations, you are engaged! Now what? One of the first things you should do besides calling, texting, twittering your big news to your friends + family... is to figure out your budget. Yes, the dreaded budget. So many brides are so excited, they pick a date, book a venue and then realize they have no idea what the bottom line really is. This can cause newlyweds to go into unnecessary debt

Such a cute photo today - courtesy of the brilliant Bobbi + Mike. I found it while looking at their top lists from 2009. I was so happy to see some of our previous photos of day/week featured as their favorites too. I even almost picked one that we featured a few months ago!

Fun + fashionable bridesmaid dresses at affordable prices? Count me in. I recently discovered Coco Myles - a site offering customized bridesmaid dresses. You pick the fabric, colors, shapes, etc. You can create your own or choose from one of their celebrity inspired styles (which are my favorite). Even with the celeb-inspired styles, you can still customize colors + fabric. And did I

love this photo by Cathy + David. I could have chosen several from this wedding, but this one just stuck with me - probably because it's not a typical wedding shot + it made me laugh. The couple had photos from different years of their lives on the tables. These, of course, were their totally awesome senior pics. For more pics from this real wedding check out Cathy + David's blog here.
