This Bride Just Transformed Her Bridal Boots from Cowgirl to Couture

There's nothing more romantic than tying the knot at the very place your love story began. For this couple, that special place is the groom's family ranch in Montana. The bride visited the ranch for the first time when she was just fifteen years old (how cute is that?!), now, many years later, they are exchanging vows in the same spot. I mean, it just doesn't get much sweeter than that. The entire day went off without a hitch thanks to Katalin Green Events. The decor was simple yet elegant, with a classic palette of green, white and neutrals. Take in this breath of fresh air at the full gallery, captured by Orange Photographie.

The Story Behind This At-Home Wedding Will Tug on Your Heartstrings

Today, on my two year wedding anniversary, I get to share this couple's heartfelt wedding, coincidentally on their one year anniversary! For Virginia and Chris a chance meeting on a cruise ship turned into a wedding day at the bride's childhood home. In the middle of their wedding planning, Virginia's parents got an offer they couldn't refuse and sold their house (under the condition that everything took place after the wedding) giving Shi Shi Events the most meaningful venue to build upon. With intimate moments at every turn, Lauren Gabrielle had no shortage of photo opp's including the bride's former students singing the surprise recessional song after the 'I Do's', a donut wall and greenery filled chandeliers by Molly Taylor and Co. So as the saying goes, as one door closes, another one certainly opened for these two....

The Ultimate Vendor Tipping Guide

When it comes to tipping your wedding vendors, you might be wondering who to tip, how much to tip, or what alternatives for tipping there are if your budget is tight. To make it simple and easy for you, here is the ultimate vendor tipping guide with vendors organized by 1) typically tipped, 2) occasionally tipped, and 3) rarely tipped.

 

Typically Tipped

I say “typically tipped” rather than “required to tip” as unless it’s required in your contract, you technically aren’t required to tip anybody. Ultimately, tip the vendors you think went above and beyond in providing you with great service and a wonderful experience. Within this category are the vendors that are almost always given gratuity for weddings and should probably be first on your list to tip.

• 
  
• Catering Staff (Note: Tips could be included in the contract, so be sure to check)
• 
  
• Delivery and Setup Workers
• 
  
• Hair and Makeup Team (Note: Unless it’s the owner of the business)
• 
  
• Transportation Drivers (Note: This includes valet attendants)
•
