Hi there! I’m Lauren Grove, the owner and editor of Every Last Detail. It’s so nice to meet you! It's important for you to know that I first started blogging following my May 2009 wedding because I wanted to help other brides plan their weddings and not make the same mistakes that I did. Long story short, I am now a full-time event designer and planner in my local Tampa Bay wedding industry. More than anything else, my goal is to help brides have the best wedding that they possibly can, starting with the details, which is why I launched Every Last Detail on December 7, 2009. My passion has evolved into educating brides alongside providing wedding inspiration, and Every Last Detail embodies that in every single post and aspect! I write all of my posts from my point of view as both an industry professional and a recent bride. One of my goals is to ensure that brides are not only inspired, but more importantly educated by reading Every Last Detail. I am constantly looking for new ways to provide inspiration and insight to brides- and of course everything always leads back to the details!

Brit Stewart

Hi friends! Brit Tucker Stewart here! I’m thrilled to be joining Lauren and Kristine on Every Last Detail! For those who don’t know me, I’m a Midwestern girl at heart having grown up in St. Louis, but recently re-located to Denver, Colorado with my pilot husband. I got my start in the wedding industry with the Landlocked Bride blog, which eventually led to my introduction into wedding styling and planning as owner of Brit Stewart Weddings. As a bride myself not too long ago, I quickly noticed there was something missing for the modern couple in the middle of the country, which started my lifetime love affair with weddings. I love modern details, outside the box ideas, personal touches and anything eco-friendly. And, just like Kristine, I am a firm believe that the marriage is key that holds the wedding together. I cannot wait to share tips, ideas and beautiful details to inspire your big day!

Kristine Hankins

Hello! I’m Kristine Galli Hankins and I’m so honored to be joining Lauren on Every Last Detail. I can’t wait to get to know all of you lovely readers! I’m originally from California but moved to Chicago for my Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I wasn’t necessarily planning to stay in the Midwest but I met the most handsome Indiana boy and decided to marry him. Yeah, he’s worth the Chicago winters. Like many other wedding planners and bloggers, I fell in love with all things weddings while planning my own. I even liked the organizing and researching—which wouldn’t surprise you if you knew me. I’m one of those make-the-bed-every-morning types. I love how weddings are both an end to months, and sometimes years, of planning as well as the beginning of a joined life together. I love how every wedding is different and unique, I love the personal touches, and I (of course) love the details. As a recent bride, I know the importance of preparation, for the wedding and the marriage, and I’m excited to share my own insights and inspirations with you along the way!
