Advice from Former Peachy Keen Coordination Brides 02/14/2018 Today I had my last full day of work at my fulltime job as Cindy Crowder. When I return, I shall be Mrs. Cindy Lindsley... ...and I couldn't be more giddy about it! As I mentioned in my last blog, there is an abundance of things to be doing on the last week of wedding preparation and frankly in some ways there just isn't enough time for it all. EVEN as a planner, I've been trying to let some things go as other things get added to my list of things to get done. Whether this is errands I'm

THE Engaged Coordinator Week-OF! 02/10/2018 WELL, HERE IT IS! Wedding week and I sincerely cannot WAIT until my clients feel the way that I do right now. Admittingly, there’s a bit of anxiety, but none of that has anything to do with marrying my best friend. It has everything to do with odd things like the fact that we booked a February wedding and felt confident that it would rain, that the sky would be grey, and the winery would be brown (but beautiful). Now that we are within seven days, we have hopes on a clear sky or at the very

The Bride with Pantone-Color-of-the-Year Hair 02/06/2018 I told myself that I wanted to be a bride who would embrace the ‘color of the year’. I wasn’t too pleased with the shade of greenery from last year, I don't love the pastels, but I thought that perhaps 2018 would be something special. Did anyone instantly look at the color and think ‘yaaaaas!’ cuz I sure didn’t. I actually felt disappointed. I saw people were feeling the same. Shoot, what are we supposed to do with THAT? Ugh... Then after poking through other people’s similar responses, I had

Guest Blog from the GROOM 09/20/2017 Celeb-shot time for our wedding blog! I couldn’t let Cindy have all the fun, and as the groom-to-be I believe the most important role I have (besides the proposing and the marrying part) is to be excited and engaged the entire way! I told her when she started blogging our experience that I wanted to be a part of it too. She agreed! She suggested September, I agreed, and here we are! For those that don’t know, I’m Kyle Lindsley! I feel lucky that Cindy and I found each other when we did. I

Oh, Hello August!(?) 08/01/2017 So here we are...August. It's frickin hot. I'm having those typical Oregonian thoughts of 'ok summer, enough. I'm ready for fall.' AmIRight?! And as I think about fall, I can't help but feel like this wedding is creeping up so quickly. While that might terrify some, I'm beyond ready! (well, almost). July was super productive. CATERER + VENUE Many of you read my last post with frustrations about venue hunting and may be curious with our decision. Now, I'll explain this by sharing with you that

The Venue Hunt Begins! 07/10/2017 And the hunt is on! I've envisioned what my wedding with Kyle might look like for quite sometime now; if I'm being honest, it's never been difficult to envision. Afterall, we fell in love in Seattle and consider ourselves more of a city couple than outdoors (though I know we both hope to better that in our marriage). We enjoy going out, being in the hustle n' bustle of people, getting dressed up...etc. We consider our love very tender and intimate, which will be reflected in our celebration. All
