KSDK Interview: Alternative Wedding Gift Registries

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

I often get asked the question, “How can I make my wedding unique?” Well, for starters make it your own and a great way of doing it is thinking outside the box when it comes to your gift registry! I sat down with Dana Dean, to talk alternative wedding gift registries for this season. The wedding industry has came a long way, just four years ago when my husband and I were shopping for our registry it was such a painful experience! Now, you can registry for pretty much anything you want or even let your guests decide between a gift off of Etsy, excursions for your honeymoon, repairs for your home or even a donation to your local humane society. Watch my interview with Dana Dean as she explains our top picks!

Dallis and Scott Meyer 1.7.12

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Meet Dallis and Scott- this crazy in love couple tied the knot just after the New Year at City Museum, here in St. Louis.  Dallis and Scott are professional Roller Derby players and are probably one of the coolest couples I’ve ever worked with.  She is as charming as they come and Scott (aka Scotty) loves and adores everything about her, which is such a powerful thing to see in couples.  Behind all the glamour of my job I truly enjoy a beautiful wedding and when I heard them share their vows (they wrote their own) it was a moment I’ll never forget, I couldn’t help but to reach for my heart and whip my tear… Not to mention she has one heck of a voice :)

Dallis and Scott really wanted the wedding to be special and reflect who they are.  They had a Steampunk Themed wedding, playful/fun environment (City Museum), and an amazing band (Griffin and the Gargoyles).  The flower girl came in on Roller Skates (she rocked it) and the two ring bearers came in with firefly mason jars- too cute!  The photobooth and dance floor was packed the entire night and I am happy to say, no one left early!  Many of the guests enjoyed the theme and came in costumes or brought fun props.  This was a very unique wedding, which makes me love it even more!!!
