Cool wedding planning resources I made

I booked my first 2026 wedding.

Four spots to go! That’s right: I’m taking a much smaller season next year. Learn more about my services.

Last month, I made a timeline cheat sheet.

Because it’s hard to know how long things take on a wedding day.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie that people seem to be loving.

10.8K views this year so far.

“Our guests even commented on how seamlessly everything ran.”

Happy to help! Read more from this new review.

Cool wedding planning resources other people made

It was only a matter of time before someone asked me about Taylor Swift’s wedding.

My thoughts.

The home of the Wedding Footprint Calculator has changed.

Mindfully Wed now lives at Polka Dot Weddings. Here’s what that means.

There’s a new company in Portland that specifically offers childcare for events.

It’s called Party Pals Childcare. One of the founders is a former preschool teacher and her wife/the other founder is a wedding coordinator I often recommend, Tabria Etuk of Truly Trusted Events.

Bonus: If you mention this newsletter, you’ll get 10 percent off services with Party Pals.

Reminder: The Portland Bridal and Wedding Expo is next month.

If you’re going, here are 10 ways to make attending an expo like this work for you.

Psst — Per my code of conduct, I don’t take kickbacks or other things of value for my referrals.

I’ve seen this cake twice this season and I get it. Classic for a reason!

Wedding vendor meet-ups are happening. I’m hosting in October and there’s one in Seattle in November. Come on down!
