    • What’s the difference between ‘Black Tie’ and ‘Black Tie optional’? What’s the best wording to put on your invitation if you want a formal wedding? The main difference is that the men wear a tux as opposed to a nice suit.
    • Lots of questions came in about budget and saving money, so we have tips, yes we do! Negotiating with vendors…is that a thing? Why yes it is. Listen and learn.
