Happy New Year everyone! I’ve spent the past few days in a little “friendship marathon” with my good friend Azar from Principal Planner. We got to talk about our pasts, our parents’ journeys, and our own joys and mishaps in this beautiful business of wedding planning. And since the new year is upon us, I thought I would take a moment to count my blessings and look happily into the future.

There’s something about an outdoor ceremony and reception that is fresh and inviting (as long as the weather holds!). Wedding vendors are catching on to the outdoor wedding trend by offering lots of terrific products that will help stylize your day. Most outdoor weddings take place in the summer months when the weather is warm, so in case it’s downright hot, offer guests individual fans (solid or folding ones) – place one on each seat, across a plate in a place setting, or set up a basket of them near the entrance. Also help your bridesmaids stay cool by giving them each a pretty parasol (you could even use them in place of holding a bouquet).
