Recently one of our staffers hopped on a plane to travel three states away for a friend’s wedding—but her traveling didn’t stop there. She had to drive an hour outside of town to attend the ceremony in a rural location, and then another hour and a half in the other direction for the reception!

We found it odd to ask your wedding guests to drive all over the state in order to attend the different parts of your celebration, but if an engaged couple has a variety of locations that are important to them, maybe it would be warranted?

Is traveling long distances between the ceremony and the reception a hassle for guests, or just part of what makes a wedding unique? Rant or rave about it!

If you’re in the midst of planning a wedding, you know that Saturday is the most expensive day of the week for your ceremony and reception, followed by Sunday, Friday and then the rest of the days of the week.

Everyone knows you can save money by having your wedding on an off-day, but would you ever consider a mid-week wedding?

What are the pros and cons of a weekday wedding? Have you ever been invited to one or hosted one yourself? Do weekday weddings make you want to rant or rave?

We love this simple wedding from the Intimate Weddings blog—Genesis and Kevin ran off to Paris to elope, fulfilling the dreams of oh-so-many couples who feel like the romance of getting married is hindered by the stress of wedding planning.

If you want to add a little Parisian flair to your celebration while still staying close to home, try incorporating some of these darling French designs from Wedding Paper Divas and Tiny Prints into you wedding style.
