Minnesota Wedding Blog by Rev Tomkin Coleman

I would be a very bad wedding planner if I failed to mention how much I love working with Reverend Tomkin Coleman. Not only does he take a personalized interest in each and every couple he works with, but he is one of the most informed wedding professionals I have had the pleasure of working with.

He writes a blog "Minnesota Wedding Blog" which is a combination of Dear Abby, Jeopardy and Miss Manners on steroids. He definitely knows his stuff and I have to admit I too have looked to his blog for resources or the occasional etiquette question I couldn't answer.

So if you are looking for a truly one-of-a-kind minister to perform a personalized heartfelt ceremony, Reverend Tompkin Coleman should be your first choice. Check him out at Minnesota Wedding Minister and tell him Fete Perfection sent you. By the way, I took his photo from his blog so you can see how warm and charming he is.

Ethical Weddings

I came across Ethical Weddings, a planner in West Sussex, England who helps couples with all aspects of "ethical wedding planning". In other words, their commitment to fair trade, green, organic, local, eco-friendly, cruelty-free and recycled...the same commitment as I D0 Vow To.

Take a look at all the great tips and ideas for having a fabulous wedding and savings in more ways than one. For example, I'm not a big fan of wedding favors. In my experience, unless the favor is edible, many are simply trashed at the end of the night. Who wants to bring home more clutter? Trust me, the favor may have meaning to the happy couple, but it means more junk for the guests. I like this idea however, seed packets - who doesn't love to see the fruits of their labor sprout after a long cold winter?
