There are many reasons why springtime is such a popular season for weddings, the main one being the flowers. As a florist, I love spring because Mother Nature outdoes herself this time of year with the largest, most beautiful selection of blooms imaginable.

When I was little, I always tried to get out of writing thank-you notes – not because I didn’t appreciate the present, but because it felt too much like homework. Now, I actually enjoy finding a quiet moment with pretty stationery to jot a note of thanks. In a world of email, a handwritten note is more than just a perfunctory court...

Unless you elope to Las Vegas or slip down to City Hall for a quiet ceremony, you don’t get married on your own – it takes the help of your friends and family. While your guests will support and celebrate with you on the big day, it’s your wedding party that will help you do much of the heavy lifting during the months of planni...

Sitting in view of my desk is a pile of all the wedding invitations I’ve ever received. They’re beautiful reminders of friends whose lives I’m honored to be a part of, as well as keepsakes from the terrific weddings I’ve attended!

I still remember the first time I saw The Philadelphia Story, a classic black-and-white film starring Katherine Hepburn (at her most lock-jawed and blue-blooded) alongside Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. The theme of the film was her (latest) wedding, and one of the scenes that stands out in my memory is one in which table after table of wedding... More »

One of the very best toasts I’ve ever heard came from my cousin Nick when he was best man at the wedding of his brother, Peter. Nick is a professional journalist, so he already has a leg up on the rest of us, but he really went above and beyond on this one.
