What Does Hip Really Mean?

What defines a hip bride?

What is a hip wedding...

and how can you have one? 

Here 3 super simple ideas to keep in mind!

#1 – Any wedding can be hip. This is a BIG country. What’s hip to a bride in CA may not be in style for bride in NY or appropriate for the bride in MO.

#2 - A hip bride has three essential beliefs: allocate money wisely, implement ideas effectively, and let personal style be your guide.

#3 -  You can have a hip wedding by not getting caught up in what you think a wedding has to be and instead letting is be what you want it to be. There are very few “rules”  that you need to follow (and most of those involve etiquette).

Happy Planning!

A Little Something For Your Honeymoon

You've planned...you've planned some more...

and now you are M-A-R-R-I-E-D!
It's time to relax and just "be" with your new spouse. 

Yeah for the honeymoon!

So, how can you make your honeymoon even more romantic and memorable? Do a little pre-planning and surprise your spouse with a few treats {get your mind out of the gutter...or put it there...your choice!} to make this one-of-a-kind trip even more unforgettable. Check out these "Honeymoon Extras."

• Start the trip off right. Use credit card mileage (or cold hard cash) to upgrade your airline seats to first class. Be careful you may never want to go "back."
• Have a floral arrangement (reminiscent of your wedding flowers) waiting for you at the hotel. {The concierge can assist with this.}
• Call ahead to the hotel concierge and have them deliver champagne, chocolate dipped strawberries {or another favorite treat} to your hotel room just prior to your arrival. You can even ask if they can sprinkle rose petals on the bed and light a few candles. Your spouse will be amazed! 
• Arrange for a romantic dinner. For example, just the two of you can dine in an amazing secluded, romantic location your own chef.
• Arrange for in-room or a private couples massage. 
• Speak with the concierge about arranging tours or excursions in advance, especially if something is of special interest to you. Surprise your spouse with a favorite activities like a mountain bike ride down a volcano at sunset or an exclusive scuba dive. 
• Does it need to be said…pack some lingerie or whatever "does it for you!"

HIP TIP: If you are concerned about motion sickness while traveling to or on your honeymoon...buy a PsiBand...."stylish, FDA-cleared acupressure wrist bands for the relief of nausea due to morning sickness (pregnancy), motion sickness/travel, anesthesia, and chemotherapy." Seriously check them out, and get them in cool patterns to match your swim suit, your snow suit...or your cutest honeymoon outfit {you know you have been shopping for new honeymoon outfits!}.

Make sure that cruise doesn't make you want to head for dry land or that helicopter ride through a rain forest doesn't send you for a loop-de-loop yourself! PsiBands are available at many stores such as CVS, Rite Aid, Longs, Pharmaca, REI, and even through Amazon. Click here to find a store near you!
