Biographie de l'auteur :
Born and raised in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, I grew up with a deep-seated love for all things family, sports, planning, parties, and writing. Getting married has been the best decision I’ve made in my life. The honest truth is that hanging out with your best friend day in and day out is a marvelously adventurous and joyous way to live life. I wouldn’t have it any other way. My husband, Ryan, and I own a Chicago-based wedding planning business, Toopes Events. And, we thoroughly enjoy each journey we’re lucky enough to embark on with our clients as we help them plan a wedding celebration that is uniquely them. I must say that I owe Ryan (he’ll probably say I owe him a puppy) for his unwavering love and patience as I worked through getting my advice on paper in the hopes to make life just a little bit easier for future brides and grooms. Whether he gets that puppy or not, I’m truly grateful to have him as my rock.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Planning your wedding is stressful. Sure, it's fun being a blissful bride and groom-to-be and gallivanting through your engagement with that pre-wedding glow. But, when it comes down to it, planning a 100+ person social event is no cake walk. There are bridal parties to select, venues to tour, photographers to research, and guest lists to draft. There are DJs to book (or maybe you should go for a band?), there are invitations to design, and ceremony programs to make. There are flowers to order and dresses to try on, and try on, and try on again. Not to mention that pesky thing called a budget you need to consider. While you may be tempted to elope, I’ll let you in on a little secret. With some creativity and a lot of common sense, you can plan the wedding you want with the budget you have. Oh, and you can make some fabulous memories and have fun, yes fun, while doing it! So read on my friends and enjoy your planning adventure.
