What girl doesn’t love shoes?
And even if you don’t, we’ve got some options for you too! I am loving that many brides are using their shoes as a way to have a peak of color. Whether in coordinating wedding colors, or as their something blue, it adds some fun to the traditional wedding attire.
If your not a heels kind of girl, then there is no reason to suffer on the biggest party of your life.
Flats and kitten heals are great for heel-haters. Have you seen Father of the Bride?? She wore bridal tennis shoes! As long as its “you”, it will work! And depending on the feel and location of your wedding, other alternatives make more sense.
Beach weddings don’t have to mean white rubber flip flops, there are some fabulous sandals out there. Wedges are perfect for outdoor weddings, where stilettos sink into the grass like quicksand. All of these fabulous options are from piperlime.com. The blue flats are from nordstroms.com.

OK, so you already know that I love to shop. I really do- I LOVE shopping! There is something about the buggy being so full, or purchasing so much that it takes 2-3 trips to the car! EEKKK!! Love-it!
For some time now I have adored a vintage shop down the road from my office. Feather Your Nest is a wonderful place to kill an afternoon, redecorate your home or office and even find some pretty fabulous ideas for your upcoming dinner party, wedding or event. Today, after networking (PURDONS!) and meetings (NEW INTERN!) I found myself at Feather Your Nest.
First off – I crack up at the name. haha It is too cute! Then when you walk inside its is a total love fest. This boutique is filled with china (Love-it!), handpainted furniture, vintage jewelry, clothing, fabulous hats and gloves, tons of unique decor items and more. I cannot even begin to list everything they offer. You simply must go for yourself!
I love -it! So much that I am going to do a feature on how to incorporate Vintage into your wedding to create Vintage Couture looks. So stay on the lookout for some great ideas, pictures and Always Planned creations all from Feather Your Nest.

Want to know the best way to say “thank you”?…. Referrals! 
We work very hard to make sure you, your bridal party, your family and your guests have the very best experience when it comes to your wedding. While we love to hear all of the praise at the end of the night (and we really do appreciate it-I promise!!), there is something a little more rewarding about an actual referral. When a potential client calls and says “so and so referred me”, well it just brings a sweet flutter to my heart. I know- how corny!! But it’s so true.
You may be a vendor, a client, a potential client or just someone who reads this blog. Whoever you are and wherever you are (oh, did I mention we travel?) always know that we love referrals and we would love to refer to you as well. Just send us your info and we will gladly refer to you too.

It really is hard to believe that 2008 is 2/3 of the way over and the holidays are fast approaching. Always Planned has been swamped with some wonderful weddings, anniversary parties and even a great ladies retreat coming up (YEA!! 2008 Darby Hen Party!).
2009 is looking to be a busy year as well. We already have 4 fabulous weddings on the books for next year and May only has one date available. If you, or someone you know, is planning on getting married in 2009 or even 2010, be sure to give us a call for a complimentary consultation – 859.619.1841 – or email me at Rayna@AlwaysPlanned.com. Talk to you soon!
