It's almost here! Inspired Occasions' very first bride education seminar, "How-to Tie the Knot: Planning Strategies for Today's D.I.Y. Bride", is happening on Sunday, August 29th at Pat's Barn at Rensselaer Tech Park.

The wedding of Natalie and Brian on May 29, 2010 has to be one of my favorites. Natalie is proof positive that you can plan a beautiful, detailed and chic wedding on a budget.

For all you CDPHP members out there, don't miss out on this awesome opportunity to whip you and your wedding party into shape before the big day!

Over 13 years ago, I planned my own wedding . . . amazingly enough I spent under $8,000 for a 125 guest affair. I was the definition of a budget bride. That's why it is important to me that brides have access to planning services regardless of budget.

Ever heard someone say, “I’m really not a cake person?” Well that is not me! I love cake! So imagine my delight when I discovered an amazingly innovative local business that is filling what I consider a very important need . . .
