Wedding Trends 2010

I love dresses, especially wedding dresses! The dresses for 2010 are to die for! A bride for every dress and a dress for every bride. There are dresses to stir and evoke the feelings of days gone by, and dresses that will take the old and spin it anew.

Designers are focusing on details and more details. Look for roses, dresses with folds, higher hemlines, ethereal dresses, and capped sleeves giving the one-shoulder trend a fresh new look. Take a peek of a few of those… Continue

I am not really blue and not really green…what color am I?

You must be the color turquoise! Pantone picked turquoise as 2010’s color of the year. I cannot wait to see all the different palettes that turquoise will be a part of in weddings in 2010!

So is turquoise blue or green or both? Ask a few people and you will get a different answer every time. Here’s the definition from Free Dictionary:

tur·quoise (tûrkwoiz, -koiz) n

1. A blue to blue-green mineral of… Continue

Stree-less for better digestion

Did you know that eating while stressed causes you to "hold on to" and even gain weight? Try these little tricks:

1. Always sit down to eat...even if you just schedule a 10 minute time period to eat - take the time to sit and relax!

2. Before you start your first bite: take 10 deep and even breaths. This will help slow down your heart rate and "de-stress" you!

3. Put your eating utensils down between every bite and take a sip of water...this will help you drink more, eat slower,… Continue

“Mistakes Grooms make that can Ruin a Bride’s Big Day, and How to Avoid Them”

Forgetting a breath mint right before you first kiss as husband and wife! Your sense of smell is the only sense hardwired directly to the part of your brain that stores memories. Don’t let the onions on the Whopper you choked down 30 minutes before the ceremony be how she remembers the most important kiss of your lives! And pick a flavor she likes! Have the best man slip you a mint 5 minutes before the kiss! And beware of Tic Tacs! Great product but they make a lot of noise when you have a… Continue

Wedding Tip - December 27, 2009

Be aware of the warning signs that you may not be dealing with someone who is professional when looking for a consultant, vendor or catering hall. The most obvious signs are low customer satisfaction, lack of references, and not being able to hire your own vendors but, rather insisting that you use only their vendors.
