Destination Weddings & Honeymoons

Louisiana-based couple Mae and Jeremy O’Donnell knew their guests would have to travel in order attend their wedding, so they decided to make the most of it.

I totally loved that the whole island is accessible by golf cart. It was easy to explore, and the people were f...

Last weekend Susan and I were in New York City for Bridal Market, and while it was a bit rainy, I seem to always fall in love with some new bridal styles while I’m there. This time it was Temperley London. They do both custom and off-the-rack designs, and seriously, they are simply stunning.
