Thursdays are Blogging the Bride day on Boston Hearts Weddings! If you’re just joining us – Blogging the Bride is a very fun project that we are working on with many of the best vendors Boston has to offer, and one very lucky couple – Nicole & Chris – who are allowing us to blog along with them as they plan their chic Boston wedding. So fun!
Today, to kick things off, I thought we should get to know Nicole & Chris a little bit better. Instead of me telling you about them and their wedding plans we decided it would be better if they tell their story themselves! Click to watch below, as Nicole and Chris tell us about how they met, and their super cute engagement story:

Don’t you love that story? You can hear me in the background telling them that I sure do! Now that we’ve gotten to know the Bride and Groom a little bit, lets get down to business: The Wedding Plans.
So far, Nicole & Chris have made a couple of big decisions:
1. The wedding date – Friday, September 17 – yes, it’s going to be on a Friday, people! And it’s going to be fabulous! Not only will they be able to spend the entire weekend celebrating with their friends and family, but they will likely be able to negotiate fantastic deals with their venue and some of their vendors. Doesn’t get better than that!
2. Their cinematographers – yes, that little masterpiece above was put together by none other than Our Favorite, Boston Wedding Films! We will be working with Jason and Jim the entire way through the planning process, capturing all the key moments on film.
3. Their photographers – Our Favorite, Person + Killian!!!! Lauren and Jill will be following along with us as well! Love.
4. Their venue – but I’m not telling yet! You’ll have to tune in in a few weeks for the big reveal.
I’m so excited by all the choices that these two have made so far – love Friday weddings (I mean, seriously love, so much that my own wedding will be on a Friday. Let’s start a Friday wedding revolution people!), and couldn’t possibly love their vendor choices any more.
At this point, you’re probably wondering how this all came together – how did these two decide to have their wedding planning process blogged about for the world to see? Well, lets be honest, I kinda talked them into it. When Nicole and Chris were first engaged, Nicole found my blog, and contacted me for some advice on hiring their vendors (which I LOVED… everyone should do that! I love to promote the vendors I work with!). Once we got to chatting, this idea formed to share how a regular Boston bride plans her wedding! I mean, it’s nice to have someone to commiserate with, right? Always! There are so many emotions that pop up throughout the planning process… emotions that non-brides just can’t relate to. Well, Nicole and Chris are going through it, just like you.
I just can’t tell you enough how excited I am for this project, and I hope you are too! Let’s hear it brides – where are you in the planning process? Are you just at the beginning of your plans like Nicole and Chris? Do you have advice for these two?
Before we sign off for today, here’s a little peek behind the scenes of our video shoot:
Be sure to tune in next week when we talk budget. We’ll have lots of great insight on how to go about setting your own budget, and even some helpful worksheets from my ladies at Tangorra Wedding Planning!
