Hudson Valley Weddings Weddings 2011

Every bride complains that her wedding went by in a flash. Keep the fun going all weekend long by inviting your guests for a mini-getaway of their own

Give your out-of-town guests a bit of the Valley to have and to hold: Offer “welcome totes,” filled with a few locally made products and a brief note listing your favorite pubs, boutiques, breakfast spots, and attractions

One bride shares the DIY and money-saving secrets that made her own wedding unforgettable
