While celebrity weddings often grab headlines and get major media coverage, the weddings of everyday people are just as meaningful and important. When two people commit to spending their lives together, it's a major life event no matter who they are. The wedding day symbolizes the start of a new chapter, and the excitement and joy of two people in love is universal.

Tents and Plan B for Outdoor Ceremony Man oh man this is such a hot topic here in sunny Florida, or maybe it might hurricane south Florida. I would say of all of the small details wedding planners have to work with in our career, making the weather call is probably the most stressful and dreaded part of our job. There is TRULY no way to foretell what the weather will actually be on a wedding day.

On a beautiful Italian summer’s day earlier this year, nine members of Team Elegante sit at a small, rustic restaurant in the quiet town of Fiesole. They tuck into heaped plates of homemade pasta and the street echoes with their laughter and shared stories.

Any great destination wedding weekend should build like a crescendo, with each subsequent event besting the one that preceded it, and the festivities ending on a high note, leaving guests wishing for more.

I first met Christine, a few years ago, when she was a bridesmaid in her brother Robin’s wedding. Imagine how lucky I felt when I got the call that she was getting married, and wanted my help planning her autumn inspired wedding. Christine said, “Helayne was the wedding planner for my brother’s wedding and when it was my turn, I knew right away I wanted to use her services.” As a corporate event planner, Christine is conscientious, organized, and resourceful.

I was in the line at a Starbucks one morning and the lady at the window took that time to strike up a convo with me as she beeped my phone and handed me some napkins.
