4 Ways to Keep the LOVE Alive!

Happy #WeddingWednesday to you all!! Today's post is all about keeping the love alive while planning your wedding! Planning a wedding is a tedious process that can take a toll on any engaged couple. As you plan you want to assure that you are not at each others throat about florals, cake, colors, guest list etc. Instead you want to make sure you keep the love alive by spending quality time together outside of wedding planning!


4 Way to Keep the LOVE Alive!
1. Assign 1 day every week to go out..whether you go to breakfast, lunch or dinner...enjoy a meal together! Take an hour or two and discuss life not wedding plans.

2. Dress sexy..ladies keep your hair, nails & toes done..and fellas keep your hair cut and cologne on..Remember that the person you're about to marry is a person that you are also attracted to..so keep the spark alive! 

3. Go on a fun date! Mini Golf, Couple Spa, Weekend getaway to Disney...something that will make you laugh and grow as a couple and take your mind off all the wedding day planning. 

4. Say I LOVE YOU! Often times you get so caught up in life that you're not saying or showing how much you love that person. So leave a little note, send a text, make a quick call, etc. Tell your fiance you love them. I guarantee it will put a smile on their face! :-D

These 4 suggestions are things that are simple, yet make such a bug difference in a relationship. These above 4 tips although simple are things that we forget to do. In a relationship when so much is happening like planning a wedding..it is the simple and sweet moments that will help to keep the love alive and the planning a lot more easy going and fun!!


Do you have any activities that you do/did to Keep the LOVE alive while planning your wedding?? Please Share in the comments section!!

Afternoon..today is Week 1 of Love, History & Heart! Every Monday for the month of February it will be be all about Valentine's Day, Black History Month, & Heart Month!


 ::: LOVE :::
February is all about LOVE, thanks to cupid! Valentine's Day is a day spent with someone you love. This day can be spent with your spouse, significant other, your best friend, etc. It is a day where you get yummy chocolates/cupcakes,etc and beautiful red roses and go out on a romantic date! Valentine's Day should be spent doing something fun and exciting. Whether that is a five course dinner at a fancy spot, a mid-afternoon movie date, or an early breakfast date. Wherever the location, whoever the person, whatever the reason...make sure that you spend time enjoying the moment! Be someone's happy Valentine!!


::: HISTORY :::
February is Black History Month...it's the month where African American men & women are highlighted by showing all the great accomplishments made. This month informs the trials & struggles suffered by many men & women so that today we can be able to vote, have interracial relationships, live out our dreams and more. Learn about the history of Black History Month!


::: HEART :::
This month is also about Heart Disease and the importance of why you should know about it and how it may affect you. Heart Disease is the No 1 Killer in Women and it also effects men.

3 Tips for a Successful Consultation!

Wedding Planning means attending many consultations so you can find the perfect vendors for your Wedding Day to truly represent who you are as a couple. Consultations can be scary, fun & should always be informative. So to help you along the way here are 3 tips for a successful consultation! 


3 Tips for a Successful Consultation!

  1. Research the company's you are interested in prior to setting up a consultation!
  2. Know the consultation time allotted so you don't go over and get charged or cut off!
  3. Have set questions ready so you don't forget nothing important! (This also allows you to know if the vendor you are interviewing is knowledgeable!)
Remember to be yourself and smile. Don't rush into anything because this is your Wedding Day and should be handled with time & care! 

Happy #WeddingWednesday! :-D

R.I.P Etta James


It saddened me when I read today that the amazing Etta James had passed away today due to her battle with Leukemia. Her music will be remembered for having a lot of soul, personality, truth and hair-standing vibes! The sound from Etta James was and will always be one of a kind. 

This beautiful talented signer contributed so much to the music world and the wedding world! Her amazing songs have been heard many, many times as couples share in their first dance. Read more about Etta James and the life she lived. Listen to some of my favorites by the talented, Etta James!
