emilee64's biography
I was a PW bride and planned almost my whole wedding using this website. I got a lot of my inspiration from this site, especially my DIY projects and huge deals. I took pride in ensuring every detail was covered while sticking to a very tight budget. Our picture perfect wedding is proof that a wedding can be planned on a budget and still be a dream come true...it just takes time, a little creativity, a type A personality and a lot of patience!
I enjoyed planning my wedding so much that I have decided to start a business of my own - Cassidy Event Creations - so that I can share the knowledge and expertise I have gained in the last 5 years of planning memorable, creative events! Contact me if you are interested...happy planning PW brides!
