One of the most common questions my Bloomers ask me is, “How can I create community in my local wedding industry?” In an industry where we all know to tout the phrase “community over competition,” why is it still so dang hard to create real community with the people who live and work closest to us?

Brian started eating gluten-free when we discovered that gluten was a huge contributing factor in his illness that I talk about in Sleeping with a Stranger.

One day, I realized I could write my own rules.
Read MoreIt’s been a while since we shared about it, but this blush and mauve wedding in the Ozark National Forest will always be one of my favorites.

But when Stella was five, I just had a feeling that I needed to go on a trip, and we needed to make it extra special.
