Are you a REAL or FAKE                 Wedding Planner ??

​Whether it's a wedding or social gala planning an event is not an easy job.  There is so much involved and It requires experience, education and talent to be successful at the professional level of being an Event Planner. However, everyone seems to think that the job is very easy and anyone can be one that is until they actually have to do the job and that it entails far more than decorating a ballroom or selecting a color palette. Being an Event Prof means that you must know how to research, design, plan, coordinate, and manage an event within a scheduled timeline and budget. Failure to be able to actual understand and know how to do these things will more than not cause your event to be unsuccessful. If I had a penny for every time I met someone who told me that they were an Event Planner I would no longer need to work because I would be quite wealthy. However, I'm never disrespectful when it comes to listening to someone express their livelihood.  Yet, after speaking with them I usually find out that what they're actually doing is more of a hobby than an actual profession. That's why I thought I would share this article that I read and found quite interesting.
I know most Event Profs out there will definitely find it interesting and agree with much of what the writer had to say.
Check the article out for yourself and let me know what you think?

Centerpieces can be absolutely breathtaking at any event and what most guests remember!  It's part of what the guests are expecting in reference to how beautiful the decor design of the event will be. Centerpieces can be extremely expensive or quite economical depending on your budget. In my years of experience I have always chosen to have gorgeous and stunning centerpieces and have been able to do both expensive and economical. However, which ever I have chosen to use at an event they have always been exquisite, elegant and gorgeous! Most clients always think that having elegant centerpieces will exceed their budget and sometimes attempt to opt out of having them. As a Event Professional I always encourage my clients to have an event with beautiful decor versus not. 
Take a look at some of these lovely and unique centerpieces that are absolutely gorgeous and quite affordable. For the DIY individual you can adapt these ideas to your wedding or next event by simply adding a touch of your own style.

"What's Trendy per Pinterest"

9/21/2016

Pinterest is one of the latest apps on social media that every person loves and especially future brides! Instead of packing countless magazines and bookmarking them you can create boards of various pictures on one page of whatever your heart desires. For many this is absolutely the best thing since sliced bread! 

Pinterest is photos of various things from exotic places to travel to exquisite bridal gowns posted by people who are considered Pinners. Pinterest allows an individual to sit in the comfort of their home, work or where ever they have access to a computer, mobile device and wifi capability to use. It's extremely user friendly and everyone seems to love and enjoy what I call a "Wish List" of various things.

Pinterest just released and listed the "Year's Top Wedding Trends" and they are by no means traditional!

Take a look at some of the latest trends in weddings for this year per Pinterest and see if you are incorporating any of them for your special day.

Is Seating is Everything?

7/19/2016

The most important thing at any event are the guests!  Any professional Event/Wedding Planner will tell you regardless of how much is spent on the venue, food, entertainment, etc. if the guests are not comfortable or pleased the event is not a success.  

One of the first thing's to remember when creating your seating arrangement is to always plan and start your guest list early. Start by perhaps creating a spreadsheet of tentative guest or list on a sheet of paper everyone that's possibly attending. Decide if you want a head or sweetheart table for the bride and groom. Do you want to do traditional seating or switch things up a little bit more modern day?  For peace of mind always make certain guests who do not get along do not sit together. Sitting friends together is always a hit but mix and matching old friends with new ones is also a cool and great idea. 

Whatever you decide just try and make certain everyone is happy with their seating arrangements so that they can have a great time!
Take a look at some of these seating suggestions for planning your next reception.
