Just a quick note

When I got home tonight, I had a great supprise.  Along with some expected supplies for this weekend’s Bridal Show, I got a nice little package holding Khris Cochran’s new book The DIY Bride 40 Fun Projects for Your Ultimate One-of-a-kind Wedding .  Even though I had been going since 6 AM between another job and helping set up for the show, I did the Snoopy happy dance and cracked it open.  I will give my review of this long awaited book early next week. 

Until then, I hope to see you at the show.  Good night!!

Bridal Show update!!

I received an e-mail today from Bridal Shows, Inc about the Dallas Bridal show.  I am so psyched!!  The schedule looks great.  On Saturday and Sunday, Peter Merry, author of the book The Best Wedding Reception Ever!  will be speaking!!  I heard him speak on TV in July and then he joined a wedding planners forum that I read and comment on frequently.  He gives his ideas on planning a wedding from the DJ’s point of view.  Check out his website to get an idea of his style. 

I can’t wait to meet him face to face if he and I have the time.

Birdesmaids dresses- When to say no to tacky

Whether you were a bridesmaid or the flower girl, anyone that has been in a wedding has had to deal with someone else’s taste.  While I don’t have 27 dresses like the movie, I do have my fair share of bad dresses and pictures to prove it.  Just because you have had to suffer from ugly-dress-itis, shouldn’t mean that you should pass this extremely contagious disease on.   Someone has got to stop the cycle!!     

The first question to ask yourself: Continue reading »

The Dallas Bridal Show is just one week away and I am so excited to meet everyone.  Not only will I be teaming up with the other So Happy Together Advisors and Eileen Keehan, but also I get to meet with brides.    I have pictures from some of shows that So Happy Together has participated in over the past few weeks.

Vase find

Geralyn, owner of Red Carpet Events in Chicago, turned a bunch of planners on to HJK Imports.   They are a supplier vases and glassware to florists and shop owners.  While most brides do not own a retail business to be able to order from them, they do have an eBay store with a selection of basic vases and accessories. 

If you are needing large quantities of vases for your special event, this may be the way to go.
