When sitting down with a friend over lunch the other day, she asked the question: “Does anybody even use a DJ for weddings anymore?” I hadn’t really even thought about it as I used a DJ for my own wedding and didn’t really consider not having one or other options. To figure out why a couple should hire a DJ, Ramsey Renno, owner of Milwaukee Airwaves, had some great insight.

Milwaukee Floral Love – Petals Floral Design
By · Leave a Comment
There are many florists and floral design artists in Milwaukee, but I can personally attest to one company in particular, Petals Floral Design in Wauwatosa. I used Petals for my own wedding a few years ago, and I’ve had friends use them since. Petals has everything you are looking for in floral design for your wedding – awesome people to work with, willing to stay within a budget and most importantly, beautiful, creative and meticulously designed wedding floral arrangements.

Remember Flipbooks? Cool New Idea for your Wedding!
By · Leave a Comment
So I am a big fan of photo booths at weddings. In fact, I have a bad habit of hogging the booth and taking multiple pictures, glamour shots style (sorry Olivia/Hakan and Jackie/Mike). I recently became aware of an awesome idea for wedding favors, a mobile flipbook studio!

Score! DIY Wedding Decoration – TJMaxx
By · Leave a Comment
Check out this deal I picked up from TJMaxx. Martha Stewart Crafts – tissue paper pom pom kit. Makes 4 smaller / 3 larger beautiful, fluffy pom poms all for $4.99. They are listed on the Martha Stewart site for almost $19! I bought both of the ones they had at the Grand Avenue location in downtown Milwaukee, but TJMaxx usually has the same type of inventory throughout their locations in the area. (I bought vases for my wedding centerpieces by going to various locations).

Wedding Thank You Cards – Personalized Photos
By · Leave a Comment
I’ve used Walgreens for ordering photo cards on numerous occasions. This would be a great option for personalized thank you cards. They have options to create cards that you could write a personalized note in, or simple photo cards that would have a general message that would be the same for everyone.
