Weddings. This is the most stressful, yet most exciting time. You are stoked that you are planning to marry the love of your life…..but then you see all the details that it takes for a wedding to go as planned. Cue the wedding planning freak-outs now. As a newlywed for almost a month now, I figured I would write a blog for all those are in the midst of planning and stressing.

It’s no secret that planning a wedding can get expensive. Nowadays, you slap the word “wedding” on something and the price automatically sky rockets. At least that’s what I learned when planning my wedding. Fortunately, I was able to have the resources to make sure my nuptials remained exciting and something I could look forward to…..not something that was robbing me silly.

Well first,...
"Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them……they think I’m telling lies. I say….It’s in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I’m a woman …..Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman…..That’s me.”These words, spoken by the late Maya Angelou, could not be anymore representative of what our purpose at RDevine is. When people think of their big day, they want to look and feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. The process up to that point is also very important. As mentioned countless times before, we believe that you CAN have...
