			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What girl doesn’t love shoes?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2547" title="blue wedding shoes" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pl756278-01qlv01.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="269" /></p>
<p>If your not a heels kind of girl, then there is no reason to suffer on the biggest party of your life.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2548" title="coral bow flats" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pl782756-00qlv01.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="269" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2549" title="stunning pink flower wedding shoes" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pl763653-02p01v01.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="347" /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2550" title="ivory flower wedding flats" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pl751929-00qlv01.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="269" /></p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weddings today are  all about bringing out the couples unique style.  So who says you have  to wear a traditional veil? There are so many amazing alternatives that  can speak directly to a couples personality.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2290" title="flower headband - wedding" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/il_430xN.107364767.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="322" /></p>
<p>Of course there is the bird  cage veil, which is so perfectly southern.  Whether real or handmade, a  large flower (or even feathers!) would look fabulous in any hairstyle.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2291" title="flower and feather wedding headpiece" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/il_430xN.129000681.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="414" /></p>
<p>Turning Nana’s favorite broach into a hair clip or head band can add a  sentimental touch.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2292" title="bridesmaids with flower headbands" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/il_430xN.134414585.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="302" /></p>
<p>Speaking of headbands they can to faboulous on your  bridesmaids and flower girls.  You could even do a simple ribbon! A very  inexpensive option that adds some flair!  And who said it has to be  white?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2293" title="feather headpiece" src="http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/il_430xN.134407896.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="643" /></p>
<p>Hair accessories can add a splash of color or bling to your big  day! You could spend days searching on <a href="http://etsy.com/" target="_blank">etsy.com</a> for amazing homemade and vintage head  pieces.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a true Kentucky girl &#8211; I have lived here all of my life.  I love it, the people and especially the beauty.  One of my life goals is to experience other cultures and visit as many countries and cities as possible.  My favorite place in the world is the BEACH!  It is the one place I can always go to and actually relax.   If only Kentucky had a beach&#8230;.</p>
<p>About Me -</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">1.  Where are you from/background? </span> Where do I start… I was born in Pikeville, KY went to elementary school in Maytown, KY and then we moved to Mt. Sterling, KY for middle and high school. I have lived in Lexington, KY since 1997.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">2.  What is your favorite &#8230;. place to shop, food, drink, etc.. </span> OK- I think I should tell you that I LOVE to shop!!  I love the Black Market, Feather Your Nest, Marshall’s, Nordstrom, Rue La La and more…<br />
Fav Food- Good Bread Pudding, Chicago Style Pizza, Fruit!!<br />
Drink- Lately I have been on a Kool-Aid kick- Cherry of course. <img src='http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">3.  When did you start with Always Planned? </span>Always Planned was founded in November of 2007.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">5.  What is your specialty at events/weddings?</span> My specialty is the design and organization.  I love coming up with new ideas and techniques.  I also specialize in the customer experience- I want you to have a fabulous experience!<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">6.  Favorite part of weddings?</span> When my bride walks down the aisle.  I swear I feel like all is right with the world!  I also love the “reveal” when the couple has chosen to see each other before the ceremony and when she puts on her dress!!<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">7.  Most memorable wedding?</span> This is a hard one.  I seriously LOVE every wedding.  Other than my own wedding (of course!) &#8211; I would have to say my most memorable wedding is Lyndsay and Eric.  I grew up with Lyndsay and loved being able to spend time with her planning her wedding – it felt like my sister was getting married!!  (Love you Lyndsay!)<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">8.  Best part of Team AP?</span> How energetic and creative everyone is.  We all get along so well and actually enjoy working together- it’s like we are one big happy family.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">9.  Where do you fit in to the future of AP?</span> I have some pretty big dreams for Always Planned and am looking forward to achieving them! <img src='http://www.alwaysplanned.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
