Angelina Jolie acts as a tooth fairy for Maddox

Maddox is lucky to have a mother such as Angelina Jolie. This is because when ever he lost his teeth, mother Angelina will give money to him. Recently he lost his two front teeth and he got $100 from her.

A friend of the couple said: "Angelina plays the tooth fairy, and gives Maddox a bit more than the usual $5! He gets $50 per tooth, and he's allowed to spend his reward on anything he wants.

Lindsey and Jesse's Wedding!

Lindsey and Jesse’s wedding was perfect! She looked radiant, he was incredible – the location was just amazing, Lange Farm near Tampa, Florida. Lindsey being an event planner (having studied under moi!) had everything any wedding planner could have asked for. It was truly every girls dream wedding!

Here is just a brief sampling of what she had done –

Awaiting you upon your arrival to The Farm was a seated in the round ceremony adorned with colors of flowing chocolate. And waiting for you on your seat was a program for the ceremony and a Seating Arrangement envelope with the seating chart by Table. The ceremony was extremely personal and absolutely beautiful!

Walking into the most ginormous air-conditioned tent, E.V.E.R – greeting you was a large table with brown pens and ivory cards to write a wish to the bride and groom. And the guest book was moved in case you missed it upon arrival. Waiting at your seat was a bag to fill with candy from the candy bar, and at your place setting was an adorable crossword and pencil for you to complete while waiting for Lindsey and Jesse. The first 3 guests to complete it were treated a special gift from the bride and groom. Super Sweet huh!

Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt plans to adopt a girl from Burma

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt has already four children and plans to adopt another girl from Republic of Myanmar, or Burma.

When quoted, a source said "Angelina feels she is barely making a dent in the suffering she sees throughout the Third World as she travels incognito to different countries as a United Nations representative"

"She wants to step up her action in what she calls Red Alert areas, the most seriously troubled, war-torn areas in the world. She's in talks to go into Burma and help with students and AIDS victims who are suffering terribly. Jolie believed adopting another girl would balance her family, and a child from Burma would fit into its racial mix."

Be our Guest!

Holy Moly! I haven't been a guest at a wedding, I mean just a guest - no other duties in - well, I don't know how long, maybe 5 years.... gosh, maybe more... but regardless, tonight, I am going to be a guest a wedding- I left my wedding bag 200 miles away at home - I have my cute dress, my cute shoes - and my cute purse. I don't know what to do with myself. It' weird.



But the best news is that Lindsey is getting married!!! Lindsey was an intern of mine a few years ago, and I am just tickled to death that life had lead her to this amazing man! I'll post more about her wedding tomorrow, or Monday.

I have feeling though, that I'll do something work related at this wedding- I'd bet my Cosmo on it!

Let Them Eat Cake!!!

So beautiful and so delicious - cake! A wedding cake can also be one area you are confused about how to get the most out of as well. Meaning, what if all of your guests don't eat cake, what if your caterer cuts ginormous slices, what if the cake is supposed to feed 300 but you run out, what if, what if, what if!

There actually is a proper way to cut a cake, and a lot of caterers don't follow this, it's a tremendous pet peeve of mine, because I can get more than 22 slices out of an 8 inch round cake... so there is no reason that a standard 3 tier cake can't fee 150 people! From a 10 inch cake, you should be able to get 50 slices.

Ask your Pastry Chef if you can pay by slice rather than per person, or vise versa depending on where you feel you'll be able to get the most bang for your buck!

Angelina Jolie give advice to mum-to-be Nicole Richie

Angelina Jolie has experience as a mother and she is most suitable person to give parenting advice to mum-to-be Nicole Richie.

A source who is close to Angelina tells Now: 'With Nicole finally getting her life of drugs, booze and wild partying under control, Brad and Angelina have offered her a list of common-sense tips they felt would help.

'Angelina was especially concerned about the effects Nicole's years of partying could have on the baby.

'And knowing that Nicole has so much hanging over her, including a stressful court-ordered probation after her conviction for driving under the influence, Angelina felt she could use some help from another young mom.'

Nicole told a friend: 'Angelina is like a surrogate mother – albeit a beautiful one who's nearer my age. But she has so much experience as a mom. She's my guardian angel – and so is Brad.'

Money Talks!

If money talks, why is money so hard to talk about?

First things first, let's talk budget! If you don't know how much money you are planning or thinking about spending, a ball park on spending, something - you are at a stopping point already. But I bet you are saying to yourself, "Self, I have no budget, that doesn't mean me!" or "Self, I have no idea where to start, but I must have this photographer that costs $6000, but I thinking of spending $20,000.....!"

These are both issues that need to be addressed- first, budget, it know it's hard, but this is where it needs to be said, we have $50,000 or $500,000 to spend - or even $5,000 - this is a start then use the 5 F's we talked about last month....

Budget Allocation: (Roughly, of course, depending on what's important to you)

50% - Food and Venue

10%-15% - Flowers

10% - Foto's

5%- Fashion

2%-5% - Fun

And the rest is cake!

Design online!

You can design so many things online, to better visualize what you'd like to see for your wedding, your dress, your cake, your flowers, and even your wedding ring! That's right guys, you can customize and personalize your engagement ring online to see exactly what it'll look like! There are several web sites you can use, our favorite is A Diamond is Forever it's awfully fun! It's also a fun way to see what wedding band will go with that schnazy new engagement ring!

I have seen so many fantastic ways to substitute a traditional guest book - some have included a photo album of your engagement photo's, or a quilt that guests each sign a square of.

Make it Yours!

Okay, so you are getting married! A lot of people get married, what is going to make your amazing-incredible-once-in-a-lifetime-most-cherished-day-of-your-life any different than hers?


There are so many things you can do to personalize the day, you can add some special music to the ceremony, or a nice poem, you can put pictures around the reception of you growing up, or pictures of you and your fiance (soon to be husband) around the reception, I mean, 3/4 of your guests probably weren't there for most of those moments, so include them in your courtship, they'll feel more included as well. Make the Cocktail hour with two drinks that are named after either you and your fiance or something you both love like your favorite football team. Create an outdoor louge that feels like a different room. There are so many things you can do to personalize your day, the possibilities are endless!


Let me know your ideas, I'd love to hear them! Put them in the comments section below!


In a few weeks I'll have some photographs of a wedding used photographs as the theme, it came out really amazing!

This photo were taken by one of my assistants during set up at the Cypress Grove in Orlando, the decorating was done by Dan Hathcock - I think it was just lovely!

Angelina Jolie is a lousy cook!

Angelina Jolie

People know her as a talented actress but when it comes to cooking, she is a lousy cook. The only thing she knows how to cook is fried and scrambled eggs. But even these are not good as well.

When quoted by The Sun, she said “I can’t cook. Yet when I say to Brad, ‘I’d like to make eggs’, he says, ‘Don’t bother’.

Well, guess that nobody is perfect. Anyway, they are rich people. They can afford to eat any where they like or even hire a cook.

Funny Because It's True!

We all want to save a buck or two, but all to often saving money by hiring friends or doing things yourself can lead to an outcome you weren't expecting (most of the time not a good outcome). Especially if you have a friend helping with the cake or the flowers beware that this adds another level of stress to the wedding for. Whenever possible hire professionals for the wedding and if Aunt Kay really wants to help, have her help with the rehearsal - it's not that we don't love Aunt Kay - it's just that the stress it will cause you, and frankly her, can be too much to handle - it may not seem like it now, but I promise it's a stressor.


These cartoons - I found at Grooms Online - it reminds me of when I told my parents that I was getting married, my father said "So Kentucky Fried Chicken and a keg, sound good!"

Invitation Tip - Don't be Lazy!

I am finding that a few of my clients are choosing to not address their inner envelope - basically, because they are lazy. (yes, I am talking about you) This is a VERY important aspect of your wedding. This tedious task allows you to tell your friends, or family member who exactly you are inviting. If you are only inviting Mr. Steven Smith, and not his fling of the month, the inner envelope would only say Mr. Steven Smith, not Mr. Steven Smith & Guest. Or if you are not inviting children to the wedding - it would be Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johns - not The Johns' Family.

It is a definite pet peeve of mine to see that I sent out invitations and then when they are sent back someone erroneously added a +1 to the response card. This small task can eliminate a lot of heart ache. You haven't been lazy on every othe detail of your wedding, why skimp here?

Fantabulous Decanter!

Yes, I admit it, I am a wine lover! Actually my husband and I really enjoy good wine! So it's fun for me to find new and fun things for him - today I found this really neat-o decanter - if you know a wine-o or have a friend that might enjoy a fun and unique wine gift, this is just thing for them! And it'd make a great wedding gift! I found this at IWA - they have a great deal of funness! (I just had to use that word this week!)
And if you are doing a wine course with each meal course, it would be nice to use fun glass decanters on each table, glass decanters would be much more affordable. Like this one, from Macy's for $40 - you can find even more affordable decanters from Ebay!

Do's and Don'ts

Why are wedding planners such sticklers for the etiquette rules? I enjoyed a cup of coffee with 2 of the other wedding planners in our town today. Which is always nice - we can talk about ways to improve our business hear about other fantastical vendors to work with. I really enjoy their company! We talked a little bit about how some etiquette issues are forgotten, and that's sad.

I guess that's what makes us good at our jobs - it's a job in and of itself to stay on top of the trends in etiquette though. One site that I love, is Kim Goddards Proper Protocol she has listed the Top 10 Do's and Don'ts -


Do's

1. Respond immediately when receiving an invitation
2. Use the Bread Plate to your left (why do people always go to the right?)
3. Sit straight with both feet flat on the floor
4. Begin a letter with "You" instead of "I"
5. Smile when you greet someone
6. Do unto others as you would have do unto them
7. Stand when someone comes to your table
8. Give the receptionist your business card when entering
9. Open your car door for business clients
10. Place your napkin on your lap as soon as your seated

Don'ts

1. Write a Thank You note by email or fax
2. Have dirty finger nails
3. Ramble or Repeat yourself
4. Ask for a drink unless offered
5. Take the bosses seat or the one next to it
6. Placed used silverware back on the table
7. Hold the wine glass by the bowl of the glass
8. Stand in front of the opening elevator doors
9. Tear your bread in half and eat it
10. Fight over the bill

I think we are all guilty of at least one of these! Check out a fun book on Wedding Etiquette!
