Happy Monday, Philly Brides! Lots going on this week, because two of our bridal bloggers just got married on Saturday! Read below to find out what was going on with them in the final days before their Big Days. We’ve got some fab travel deals that have recently crossed our desks (think 'moons in Hawaii, St. Lucia and Grand Cayman), a redo of Kate Middleton’s bouquet by a local florist (seriously, this one is so much better), and the final word on whether or not it’s okay to set up a cash bar at your wedding (can you guess what the answer is?). Emily fills us in on a few of the trouble-causing ways she and her husband are so different, plus we’ve got a great new batch of trunk shows, and a beautiful real wedding in Radnor. Enjoy! And happy unofficial beginning to summer this weekend! — Carrie Denny, Philadelphia Wedding Editor
