Want to save a little money on your wedding?  Consider a city hall marriage!  Now, we know there may be some stigma, and stereotypes about weddings in a non-traditional reception/ceremony site but consider the following photos as proof.  We now present the adorable wedding of Kelly and Peter, who married last summer in the San Francisco City Hall.

The bride and groom are dressed adorably -- seriously, we could have an entirely separate discussion on the bride's yellow dress in itself!

Have you ever considered a city hall wedding?  Skip some the drama and have it be just about the two of you, and your lucky witnesses?

Wedding "rules" change with the times, so we've just posted some updates to modern wedding etiquette.

Concerned about your Flower Girl or Ring Bearer?  Wondering if you should contribute to guests' travel expenses?  Want your wedding photos taken before your ceremony?  We address these questions and more, because proper etiquette is one of the prime concerns of all brides -- everyone wants to do the right thing on their wedding day. As generations change, however, so do etiquette rules, so check out the full article here.

We just updated our Phoenix Wedding Guide with a new article about finding the perfect wedding day makeup artist in Phoenix, Arizona.

Getting married in a hot city like Phoenix doesn’t mean your makeup can’t be cool. Phoenix is a thriving metropolis these days, with spas and spiritual centers as popular as golf resorts and ranches. Hiring a makeup artist is a wonderful way to keep on top of it all, especially if you’re the kind of girl who’s only comfortable when she blushes naturally. You can hire a makeup artist for yourself, or for all the bridesmaids—and Moms too! An added advantage?  One less thing to worry about on your big day.  Check out the full article here.

And if you're not planning a wedding in Phoenix, perhaps one of our other local wedding guides would be more useful for you: The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Houston, New York City, or the San Francisco Bay Area.
