    Vendors

    Choosing your vendors is easily one of the most intimidating steps to planning a wedding. They can literally make or break your event. Not to mention your budget. You want people that work well with others, that will listen to your wants and needs but will still give you their professional opinion on what works best. The very first vendor that I recommend researching and hiring is, of course, a planner. They are like the insurance to your wedding. They know the ins and outs o

    Congrats, You're Engaged!! Now what??

    So he finally popped the question? Yay!! I just know that you are over the moon with happiness!! But you are wondering where to go from here. I understand. 100%! Because I also just got engaged. I was under the impression that my boyfriend and I were going to the World Famous Cain's Ballroom to help our friend set up his band for their show that night. It was cold and sleeting and to be honest, I wanted to be at home cuddling with my dogs. But I went because I said I would. W

    Wedding cakes: The good, the bad and the ugly

    Your wedding cake can be an amazing photo op! Not to mention they are super yummy to eat. That means that you need a bakery that can not only make it look great, but tastes great as well. Yet another plus of hiring a planner is that we have worked with most, in not all, of the bakeries in Tulsa. So we can tell you who will fit your style best or who might have the most unusual cake flavors. What is most important to you, flavor, uniqueness, looks? Then do some research to s

    #itsgillertime

    We love getting to work with brides, grooms and their families to create the perfect wedding day. Chelsie and her mom, Jeri, were no exception! We enjoyed all of our planning sessions! Chelsie wanted a beautiful Catholic church wedding with a fun barn style reception. Chelsie was one of our brides that knew exactly what she wanted! Kate Spade all the way! Spain Ranch with all of it's white walls and ceiling was the perfect setting. Gold guest tables with bright orange and pin

    How to Choose a Venue

    Your venue is one of the most important parts of your wedding. It can honestly make or break your big day. If you choose an outdoor venue with no indoor options, what do you do if it rains? You can rent a tent if you have budgeted for that additional cost. But you need to be sure you have a large enough flat space to put a tent. 1st things 1st, decide on your budget. You don't want to spend 3/4 your savings on your venue and not have money for food or a DJ. Between your venue

    Who pays for what?

    We get asked all the time who is supposed to be paying for what? We know that each generation will handle this different than the one before them. Couples are becoming independent and paying for more and more on their own. Which is fantastic but can cause some confusion on who should be footing the bill for ceremony flowers, bouquets, etc. So we are going to highlight some old traditions and some of the changes we are seeing. Traditionally the bride's family shoulders the bi

    What to do with the Kiddos

    We know one of the hardest decisions when planning your wedding is whether you should invite kids or not. You love your sweet 3 year old nephew very much but know that he can be a handful. You paid a lot of money for those centerpieces and don't want them knocked over by a group of 9 year olds running around like a group of wild animals? Want your guests to be able to relax, have a drink and have a good time? We understand! Let us help you to entertain those cute little kids!

    Dog days of summer

    We are big dog lovers here at Bride in a Box so naturally we love when you include your fur babies in your special day! First things first, make sure that your venue allows dogs. Once you have it approved, consider how well behaved your pup is. If they are hyper and don't listen, then you may want to reconsider having them there physically. But if they love people, are friendly and listen then they are the perfect addition to your wedding! These are some of our favorite ways

Let's be honest here, who doesn't like sweets? Doing a sweets bar can add up, so why not send your guests home with a cute little s'mores kit? Just take a clear bag and add
