Happy Birthday Tried and True Weddings!

Today is officially the 1st Birthday of the Tried and True Weddings blog. For most of those 365 days I've been bringing all of you near and far ideas, inspiration boards, links to vendors, exciting stories, fabulous pictures, helpful hints, and much much more!

Number of things I've learned and memories/friends I've made along the way: Countless!

I want to personally thank all of my readers for making Tried and True Weddings the success it is today. I started this blog with the intention that it might capture a few readers, specifically my friends and locals where I lived (a small town in Oregon). I had no idea that it would span the globe and influence people across the world. I don't make any money off of this blog, but I do it because I want to be able to give back and share my knowledge and experience with those who may be unable to afford a planner or simply have a question they haven't yet found the answer to. It has been such a pleasure for me to interact with my readers and to know that I have made a difference for people in addition to giving me an outlet for one of my passions, event design and planning.

Here's to a fantastic second year for Tried and True Weddings! I hope that all of you will follow along as the blog continues to grow and that you will continue to give me recommendations and ideas. My email is always open (triedandtrueweddings@gmail.com) and I love hearing from you. Thank you again for everything!
