Did you see?

Our Wedding Plus is doing a fantastical giveaway!!! She's giving away the ever popular Cruzer Gators and a Wedding Website for a year!

What a fantastic opportunity! All you have to do is comment on the blog here and answer one of the below questions....

• What was the most useful piece of wedding planning advice you have received?
• What has been your biggest “lesson learned” so far during your wedding planning process?
• If you could do it over, what would you do differently?
  

What are you waiting for, get over there and post away...

Vendor Who?

One of my most valuable assets to my clients (other than the fact that I totally rock!) is my list of reputable, talented vendors. I've met a lot of fantastical vendors over the past 14+ years and I've keep every single one of their cards. So, if you wanted a white elephant, I know who to call. Seriously, we had to rent one for the day a few years ago!

One of the assets of working with a wedding consultant is the list of personalized vendors that we feel will work well for you. There is no reason for you to have to pick up the phone book or do 7 hours of research online, the likely hood that I know who you'll want, and can afford, is pretty high. Just ask!

That's what we are here for!

James McAvoy uncomfortable doing sex scenes with Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie

James McAvoy acts in Wanted with Angelina Jolie and doesn't feel comfortable doing sex scenes with her.

He said: "It's sweaty and uncomfortable.My paranoia is the girl I'm doing the sex scene with will think I'm getting off on her.I have nightmares about that the night before a sex scene. There's no chance of getting any kind of stimulus because you're so nervous and there's all these people watching you.It's daunting. They're considered to be the most beautiful people in the world, and I'm clearly not. I don't think I've been hit by the ugly stick, but I'm not exactly a matinee idol."

Emergency Production!

One of my most important jobs is to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day of the wedding. This means you have to be prepared for everything that may or might occur on the day of the wedding. My emergency kit started as a little "fanny"bag, then grew to a duffel bag, and is now a large luggage-like bag- but you have to be prepared. The following is a list of some of the things I recommend you carry in your Emergency bag.

• Steam IronGranola Bars
• Tampons
• Lip Gloss
• Nail File
• Mints
• Safety Pins
• Bobby Pins
• Diaper Pins
• Corsage Pins
• Sugar Cubes
• Flash Light
• Gorilla Tape
• Velcro Tabs
• Extra Earning Backs
• Small Envelopes
• Pipe Cleaners

And MUCH MUCH more!

And some things you'd never use for the way it was intended... I once had to use safety pins to lengthen a necklace for a bridesmaid... you just gotta do what you gotta do!

Angelina Jolie's partner Brad will be on the red carpet soon

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt's movie Burn After Reading will be part of the Venice Film Festival and Brad Pitt will make his appearance on the red carpet.

Other casts of this movie are George Clooney, and John Malkovich. This movie is a spy
comedy movie and I am sure will be a good movie by the looks of it.

I can't wait to see it.

I love my job!

I love people! I think it's something that you need when you plan events for, well, people.

This weekend we were blessed to plan a Graduation Party for one of my dear friends Kathy's daughter, Kristin. It was so much fun for us to help make Kristin's dreams for her party come true, and to see just how much fun they all had!

I think as wedding and event planners we sometimes forget that the events we plan truly bring people together, people that haven't seen each other in a long time, people that love each other. The saying goes that families only really get together for weddings and funerals - which is sad but true.

But our business is really about people. Helping people. Helping them ease their minds and hearts of "planning" that can frustrate and really over-whelm them. And it's our job to make sure that they enjoy the party and make the party happen in some instances.

I think we just need to remember, it's all about the people. I have a passion for people - I have a passion for making people's dreams come true. No matter what it takes.

I had a Dream!

Have you ever had a dream so vivid and so moving that you felt you needed to react to it?

I've had two in my life, two (maybe three) dreams that meant so much to me that I got up and took action.

The first was about my business - a fun slogan. Another consultant in town was using it, and then when I woke up and realized that it was a dream, I stole it from her. But really I didn't... because well, she never had it in the first place. So there!

The second dream, I had that about 6+ months ago, it was so vivid and so amazing, and so moving. That I woke up knowing that I was being lead to do something. I knew that God was leading me to help.

I've had to do some incredible research and I've met and talked to some amazing people. But I think this dream of mine is going to become a reality. And we are going to help lots of kids that need help!

But I'll need your help, are you in?

Do you want to know more?

New Favorite Thing!

I love food - I love to find new food items... in fact, I don't know that I've ever met a food I didn't like!

I found these new tomato's called Strawmato - they are the shape of a strawberry - but are super sweet like a grape tomato, or a Campari Tomato... but smaller. Firm flesh, and sooooo sweet!!

These are my new favorite!

I can totally see these sweet tomatoes adorning your first course at your wedding!

Weekend with the Twins!

I had a great time with my nieces (and my Sister, and my Brother-in-Law) this weekend! My sister and brother were fantastic hosts!

My nieces are growing up so fast! Everyday its something new, and I was honored to teach Sydney how to do a somersault while I was there!

Our schedule included going to see The Doodlebops, Live! That was a treat to see how mesmerized they were with Rooney, Deedee and Moe! My sister and I got into the action with Deedee wigs, cute, no? We all ate the largest strawberries in the world (seriously, 6" strawberries)!

And of course I had to spoil them just a weee bit at the toy store.

Here are some snap shots of our weekend.

Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director before actress

Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie is a famous actress but do you know that her dream career was to become a funeral director before this? What a weird dream to have. I wonder what notion make her to have wanted to have such career?

She says, "When I was younger, I went to a funeral, and I didn't think it was enough of a celebration of the life of the person. I thought I could do better. I wanted to study, so I got a home course when I was about 14. I did a mail-order degree."

The Wedding Book!!!

As a Wedding Consultant you always want to be in-the-know, on the up-and-up and as educated as possible!

I for one own every wedding related book that a bride can own. And when I found out that one of my favorite Wedding Consultant's Mindy Weiss was writing a book. I knew it would be a winner.

Mindy, along with Lisbeth Levine have written what most will call the Bible of Wedding Books! It's a step by step, hand holding, fun guide to planning the perfect wedding!

If you have a budget of $1000, $100,000 or $10 Million this book is for you!

The Wedding Book will help you from the time the bling is on your finger to after the wedding is over (and every step in-between).

Honestly, a must have!

Jennifer Aniston will adopt a son and she is already spend money on nursery. She will name him Alex.

Tag I'm It!

I was tagged by Jessica Lynn at Tying the Knot! I figure it's been awhile since I was tagged - so here goes!

The Rules Are:

I must link back to the person who tagged you. (Check!)
I must post these rules on your blog. (Check!)
Then I must share six unimportant things about yourself. (working on it...)
And then tag six random people at the end of your entry.(Hmmmmm)
And finally, let the tagged people know by leaving a comment on their blogs (see above)

1. I have Self Diagnosed- Selective OCD... I am seriously OCD about certain things... crumbs on the counter top, watch out! When we have football parties the boys like to crumble things on the counter top and set the clock to see how long it takes for me to clean it up. Some just leave potato chips and watch me squirm... they think it's funny. I hate them.
2. We've names all of our dogs/animals after alcohol or alcoholic beverages... It started with Smirnoff the Iguana, then Bailey, and Kahlua, and Molson, Whiskey, and Bellini...
3. My husband is my high school sweetheart... and we've been married for 12 years! It can last see!
4. I am allergic to Dill Weed. It will kill me. I carry an Eppi Pen... Yup Pickles are my enemy.
5. I am killing the Polar Bears - well not literally. But the day after we heard a news report that large SUV's were killing the Polar Bears - I got one... so my husband solely blames me for the demise of the Polar Bear population. And for the record I heart Polar Bears!
6. When I feel a cold coming on I crave Tomato Soup and a Grilled Cheese sandwich.

I don't think I am going to tag anyone (I'm a rebel), but if you feel like you'd like to be tagged, let me know!

What's behind the Veil?

I personally feel that a veil totally and absolutely makes a bride..... well, a bride. I mean not every brides wants to wear a veil and that's totally okay!

But personally, you can get dressed up in a White Couture Gown, and a tiara any day! I mean I wear that to work on a normal Wednesday... but when you put on a veil, you are totally and absolutely without question, A Bride!

But when you put a piece of tulle on a clip - it can cost you a pretty penny! Sometimes in upwards of $300!

Here's a budget sensible alternative - I've had my brides use one particular store on eBay for a while, and have not yet been disappointed!! She always delivers a beautiful product, and can customize the colors if you need her too!

We had a Wedding!

If you've read this blog in the past you know that Friday we had a wedding in my office! Coincidentally, earlier in the day one of my favorite florists called me to touch base - in my excitement I told him about the wedding in my office, and he made this incredibly F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S bouquet and boutonniere - and I wrote some beautiful vows and off we went!


Katie and Bradley showed up with their kids in tow and Katie almost immediately started to feel a sense of nausea, and started crying - which in turn her daughter Reagan started crying.. so we all took some deep breaths and decided it might be better for everyone to be seated during the actual ceremony...

And ta-da.... they were married!

Oh, and of course there HAD to be cake!!!

I don't want to be that person that only talks about her dog, like Molly over at MThree... (I am only kidding Molly, Ringo is too freakin' cute!!!)

But the other day I was in our home office and I hear something in the Laundry Room making some kind of ruckus - and I honestly have no idea what it is, so I call Bellini (our 11 month old Britney Spaniel) into the office and then the noise goes silent... so I know she is up to no good!

So I very gingerly walk into the Laundry Room, and here is what I find:

I think she was still hungry...don't you?

Oh no, you AIN'T Goin' There!

So, I just got home from a wedding - like literally, I am exhausted, ready to shower, and enjoy a nice glass of wine.

But the funniest thing happened at this wedding and I just had to share it with you!

Everything was perfect the guests were enjoying a fun afternoon of dancing and enjoying friends and family. The bride threw her bouquet and her friend of choice caught it, everyone was cheering and hooting and hollering!

Then the groom's turn came to get the garter, and the photographer leans and down slightly to get a good shot, the groom sticks his head into the dress, and the bride points to the photographer and says, "OH NO, you AIN'T GOIN' in THERE!"

It was so funny! The DJ didn't even know what to say next.

Goin' to the Chapel, and we're...

We have a client who's fiancee just got back from Iraq, and she is super nervous that on her wedding day next month she's going to freak out - in nervousness.

She mentioned a couple of months ago in jest - if I would marry {I am a notary} them before the ceremony just to ease their stress level....

Then last night I get an email asking if I could, please, please, please - if I could, if I would, be so kind as to do "a super quick nuptial, nothing fancy" - so folks...

There's going to be a wedding today, in my office!

Etiquettely Speaking...

The question was posed yesterday if it is etiquettely acceptable to send out a Save The Date as a postcard?

And to be quite frank with you, Yes.

Save the Dates can be anything you'd like. A formal letter explaining your wedding and where it is going to be, a magnet to hang on your dishwasher, a bookmark, a postcard, a formal card, really whatever you'd like it to be.

Basically the purpose behind the Save The Date is to do just that - make sure your friends and family mark their calendar for your wedding date - and whatever suits your personality is totally acceptable!

Now RSVP'ing via email to your wedding, well that's a whole nother story!

And she said this about the kicking, "It is a very special time in our lives."
