This book is everything your engaged friends need right now.

Along with their dream-haunting—in the best way—event highlights, advice and planning expertise, the book brims with brightness from some of the pair’s closest celebration confidants. From savant-level, stylistic notes from stationers to wise words from some of the wedding industry’s poshest publishers, the tying-the-knot know-how streaming in from every angle is just awe-inspiring. As is the imagery from fine art photographers (and another phenomenal husband and wife team), O'Malley Photographers.  
 
Aleah and Nick Valley pride themselves on creating wedding experiences that speak to a couple’s style, their vibe, the quirks that make them work. That’s been their M.O. from day one, and it carries through to today. So, their inaugural book doesn’t stray, even slightly, from the status quo. Everything inside—each page—encourages brides and grooms to dream up elements and moments that will come together to tell the story of their wedding in a fresh and special way. And that’s kind of what every modern couple wants to hear.
