Favorite Friday




Keeping in tradition of favorite Friday.. The proposal....

My favorite part of meeting with a couple is when they share their proposals with me. The reason why I love this part of the consultation is because it gives me a sneak peek inside the couples relationship. As a planner this helps me start my creative juices flowing. This tells me volumes about his personality and the way he wanted her to remember this special day. Now my all time favorite proposal is the guy, Robert Gray and the way he proposed to Keisha Williams from Atlanta. I am sure you all have heard about the over the top way he proposed.

If not, please check it out here..http://www.photosbyknight.com/gray/

Here are some numbers from Robert Gray Jr.’s proposal to Keisha Williams:

10 hotel rooms

50 friends and family members

400 red and white roses

300+ votive candles

12 24-carat gold-dipped roses

2 bottles of champagne

8 hours to complete the proposal


Now this is a proposal!

The Big Reveal!


I love being a wedding planner and this weekend reminded me exactly why I love this job. Sometimes due to logistics the big "REVEAL" is not possible and by the time the couple gets to see the reception their guests are already sitting down. This past weekend we were able to have a "REVEALING" moment with our couple. I must say myself that it was AWESOME!! I thought I would share some of the photos with you all. Enjoy..
Close you eyes...



Ok.. you can open them!!!
One Happy Groom
I love it!! Look at that smile..priceless!!

This is why I love my job!!

Favorite Friday







Hello friends.. I am often asked .. do you have a favorite wedding..Of course I have my favorites but I will never tell...If it was your wedding than you guessed it ...

Now I will share my favorite celebrity weddings with you. Here is one of my all time favorite weddings that was featured on Essence.com. The wedding is that of NFL player Daniel Wilcox of the Baltimore Ravens and Shauna Chin, a former Ms. Belize of NY. There are several reasons why this is one of my favorites.. They held it in a location that was non traditional..( gotta love it!) The got married at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. Once you see the pictures you will see the other reasons why its one of my favorites. Enjoy...
