It's no secret that us millennials have a style and way of our own. We're hard working, creative, motivated, fashion-forward...the list goes on.

So how can a millennial make their wedding the ultimate wedding?

1. Have a statement piece

Bold statement pieces can be done in a variety of ways when it comes to weddings. Perhaps a boxwood wall with the wedding monogram as the ceremony backdrop, or a balloon wall sculpture for a photobooth, or even a confetti drop during the last dance of the night.

2. Open bar


Let's be honest, millennials can party. Friends and family are coming in from all over, they are catching up, and they are enjoying themselves. Have an open bar.

3. Transportation


After saying open bar, please make sure you have transportation! You want you guests to have a great time, but responsibly. Providing them with transportation is the perfect way to accomplish both, and adds a nice touch!

4. A R-E-A-L-L-Y good DJ


Often people don't think about the fact that once the ceremony is over the DJ has full control over the mood of the wedding. They set up the rest of the night during cocktail hour and get your guests in the mood for a good time. I mean who doesn't want a full dance floor all night?

5. Decor


Details. Details. Details. Your guests will notice them. Investing in having amazing centerpieces will really have an impact in, not only, your guests opinions, but in your photos as well.

And, lastly, an extra touch most people overlook.

6. A morning after brunch


Invite those who came from out of town, stayed at the hotel, and were members of the bridal party to a morning after brunch. It's simple, easy, and really thoughtful - a last moment to reflect on the night before guests go back home and before you leave for your honeymoon!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
