Planning the Unexpected

Below is a weird/funny (ok, not so funny for the bride) story about an upcoming wedding in Texas. It is a good lesson for every bride in that you cannot plan for everything. This bride probably has everything planned perfect, excepted the uninvited guest. Things do go wrong at weddings (although not normally like this) and that is why a good wedding planner is there to help you through it. Always remember, something may not be perfect at your wedding, but in the end if you are married then it was the perfect day!

Art of the Table

Yesterday I was able to attend/work Art of the Table. This is an event hosted by the Association of Bridal Consultants Indiana Chapter as a fundraiser for the Betty Jackson Scholarship Fund and the American Cancer Society. Local planners, florists, and other designers create beautiful tables. This year the designers did an incredible job and we were entertained by amazing table scape. It was a great event and next year you should go. You will not be disappointed.

Have Fun, Take a Break, Learn About Yourself

This is not really wedding related but I think that it is a great break from anything, including wedding stress. It is a Color Quiz. Someone else sent this to me and it is so much fun. You will see that you just click on colors and then it tells you about yourself. Some how it just knows you. I did it a couple times and it always had me pegged. Try it and have fun. It is a great break from the world and you might just learn something about yourself. Maybe it will even help you understand yourself and how you need to plan your wedding.

Enjoy!

ABC Mini Conference – Inspiration & Motivation 2010

Yesterday and today I attended a conference about new trends for the 2010 wedding season and motivating myself this year. It was a great conference and I learned tons of information including: hot color trends, new favor ideas, the wow factor and etiquette (I think we can all use a refresher every once in a while :-)).  I was excited about several of the new trends and cannot way to try them. Check my blog for new posts about what I have seen.

The other part of the conference was getting motivated, and I can say that I am. Tonya Shadoan, The Diva Wedding Coach, did a wonderful presentation that has me motivated for the next year. She has started a fire under me that I never knew I needed.

It was a great conference and I met new people, as well as, reconnect with others. I cannot wait for the main wedding season to begin, I hope you can’t either.

Best Wedding Wishes!!

ABC Mini Conference

I am excited for this weekend to come because I get to go to an Association of Bridal Consultants conference. It is our regional mini-conference and it is all about the upcoming wedding season. I know that I am going to learn about the new trends this year, as well as, get motivated for wedding season. I am also excited because I get to speak this year. I am going to be talking about my great experience at the annual conference we just had last November in Indianapolis. I had a great time at the annual conference and know that I will do the same at this one. I will let you know what I learn and what hot new trend I cannot wait to try. Wish me luck!

I Love Weddings!

Today I was thinking, I really love weddings. I love everything about them. From the planning to the actual day. Nothing is better than seeing two people come together and celebrate their love. I love the story of romance to all the details that go into planning that perfect day. It is interesting to see how each couple takes this exciting journey. Some are traditional while others go the opposite direction and try to do everything unexpected. Sometimes you look at a couple and before knowing them you think, I know their style, and then they go and surprise you. It makes it that much more fun! I do have to admit, I might like the planning part a bit more (I am a wedding planner after all) but to watch two people share custom vows is pretty amazing. I am sure this is not a shock coming from a wedding planner, but today I just felt like sharing – I love Weddings!

To all brides out there, enjoy every minute of your wedding planning. It is a joyous and wonderful time that you should cherish. Good luck with all your planning and do not forget to each your cake at your wedding :-)!!
