MELISSA & JEREMY, A TRADITIONAL JEWISH WEDDING

This beautiful October wedding was inspired by the brides love of the fall season and Jewish tradition. Red, orange, brown and yellow were the colors chosen to give that sense of fall. The ceremony began with the signing of the Ketubah, a Jewish contract, that was then framed and displayed in the reception hall. As the guests danced into the night there was an artist hired to paint on canvas the evenings festivities and capture the guests in motion, what a wonderful, original touch! This really captured the guests attention while watching this artist create a picture out of live moments, it really added another aspect of entertainment to the night!

A THANK YOU NOTE

THIS IS A NOTE I RECEIVED FROM ONE OF MY PAST BRIDES, I TRULY APPRECIATE THE KIND WORDS!

"I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for making my day so memorable. I was relieved to know that you had taken the reigns with everything on that important day so all I had to concentrate on was getting ready. I really appreciate how you went above and beyond with cleaning all of the sand off the deck. I was really not expecting that. When I arrived everything was perfect! Thank you so much for anticipating my needs and executing plans into action. That is what makes a great coordinator.....the ability to think on your feet and deal with a crisis situation before it gets out of hand. I really enjoyed working with you and if there is anything I can do for you in the future do not hesitate to ask."

Sincerely,

Mrs. Branch

A WEDDING ON VA BEACH OCEAN FRONT

On a lovely day in the first week of October I had the pleasure of coordinating a ocean front wedding! The couple decided to have the intimate ceremony on the deck of a beach house overlooking the VA Beach ocean front. This traditional ceremony was complete with a sand ceremony, two different colors of sand poured by the couple into one vase representing two lives coming together as one and the idea, that like sand, once these two lives are put together they can never truly be seperated.

TEA PARTY THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER!

A few weeks ago I attended a wedding shower that I helped plan in Florida. This was a very unique shower because it was held at a quaint little spot called Hidden Tea Secrets. This tea party themed shower let the little girl in us all come out as we sampled different tea's, snacked on bite size treats and of course dressed up in big hats and jewlery! Here are some pics from the event! TEA PARTY THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER'S ARE IN THE SPOTLIGHT!

HERE COMES THE BRIDESMAIDS!

Long gone are the days of the march of identical bridesmaids. Most of us at some point have come across an old 80's photo or video footage of a bridal party with the most ridiculous bridesmaids gowns ever to grace the body of woman. These days it is ok to allow your ladies own personality to shine through rather than bestow upon them a travesty of a gown, hairstyle and makeup pallet. More and more I have found that brides to be are picking out a color to tie all the ladies together but they may have the option of three styles of dress to choose from. These days the typical bridesmaids gowns are so much more flatering than ever, so there are really no excuses. Every woman has a different body type and not any one style is going to look good on everyone, however certain styles like an A line cut dress generally looks good on many different body types. But if you will pick the same style dress for your maids let them wear there hair the way they feel comfortable, or pick out a style of shoe that they love. I mean you really dont want these friends of yours to stand up in front of your friends and family and feel uncomfortable and unattractive, I know you want to be the star but please dont torture these ladies, I mean after all you know one of them is single and she is totally going to get you back when its her turn to walk down the aisle!
