The Wedding Story of Hailey and Dustin Drost
Carri Fras | July 5, 2017We love how sweet it is when parents play matchmaker. When Hailey met her future father-in-law at the restaurant she worked at part-time, she almost didn't give her number to him when he insisted she would be a great match for his son. But, something drove her to do so (and good thing she did!). Dustin called the very next day and, astonishingly, discovered Hailey lived only five miles down the road. The following day, Hailey went on what she describes as her “last first date, ever.”

"Masculine Elegance" Style Shoot
Savannah Hope | June 22, 2017Many brides want to find a way to include their groom in the wedding planning process. Planner and designer Rhiannon Bosse, of Rhiannon Bosse Celebrations, wanted to create a style shoot that would show brides how effortless it can be to create décor that represents their femininity and their groom’s masculinity. She says, “My clients always ask me how they can involve their groom more, and I always suggest finding ways to do so through the décor because of the big aesthetic pay off. I also feel like, as a designer, it's my job to create things in new and unexpected ways, so this project was a chance to do just that.”

Taylor says, “We hit it off immediately!”
