Spring Fling

Oohhh Lordy! Had so much fun with everyone last night. All the vendors and Sponsors were so fabulous. What a better way to network...good food, drinks and friends, what more could you ask for? Below are some pictures from the event just in case you missed it. Thanks everyone!

Project REVO

What

REVOweddings is a coming-together of San Diego wedding professionals offering significant savings to engaged couples through online bidding for wedding products and services.

About

Suzanne Hansen, photographer and owner of SheWanders Photography, wanted to do something to help her very good friend Peggi Walker, of Metro Floral, overcome the many daily troubles that cancer can bring to a business owner. Suzanne had the desire to come up with a plan that could assist Peggi with any potential funding issues and, at the same time, grow each of the sponsoring companies' visibility to engaged couples.

Grey is the New Black

This posting goes out to all the brides preparing for a summer wedding. Grey is the new black! I can't tell you how many brides think you can't do a black shade in the summer...you definitely can but if you want to lighten up the palette, go grey! I always think of the guys in the tuxes, they look just as good in grey! Grey acts as that darker shade that you need to make a contrast without taking away from a softer look...try it...you'll like it!

Bridal Bazaar

Sunday, April 25, 2010

10:00am - 4:00pm

Del Mar Fairgrounds

At the Bridal Bazaar you'll find aisle after aisle of displays by more than 200 of San Diego's most talented wedding professionals. You can talk with the experts, see the latest trends, get new ideas, and find money-saving show specials on everything you need for your wedding.

These are a few

....of my FAVORITE things! The other day when I was browsing online I saw this Marc Jacobs watch and about fell off my chair! I'll definitely be working over, over, ova time to own that baby! Of course, with bills, rent, groceries, savings, etc. it might take a little while- but it will happen! I also saw some of Kate Spade's jewelry pieces which I am loving as well!

Finishing Touches

I thought this was very interesting and different for some brides. Given, your personal style and feel for your weddings; it would be fun to have all the bridesmaids wearing a unifying accessory rather than dress. I would put all the bridesmaids in the peacock colors: blue, teal and black. This would be cool because your girls can choose the color they want and then everyone has the same cool hairpiece...just an idea!

Photography

I found this inspirational board on this site, Brunch at Sakes, and it really makes you think about what your wedding pictures will look like fifty years down the road. Photography is such an important aspect of the wedding; it is that component that will help take you back to those special moments long after they have passed.

Every Bride Must See!

I came across Luxurious Wedding Etiquette & Protocol - a great resource for answers to many questions that Brides have. The site is packed with so many great things - straight from a wedding etiquette expert! Let me know what you think.

The Mother Ship

It is here...finally here...the trailer for Sex and the City 2. I can't wait to see the movie.

I thought this was a perfect movie day with the rain in all. Enjoy!

Bridal Show

Cake!

I was looking around online and found all of these gorgeous pictures of cakes...they really just make you want to eat them!
I love the idea of doing a bunch of cakes as well.

These really could transfer over to any bridal shower as well.

Hues to Use

This goes out to all my traditional Betty's out there. It doesn't get more classic than Vera Wang and all the shades of creme and ivory. You can however take these colors and have a more modern feel to the wedding by adding colors of silver or grey. Let me know what you think!

Flowers 101

A big part in planning your special day has to do with the flowers. This one of the most effective way to getting across any type of feel for your wedding so it is important for all brides to know what is available to them. This bit of information also helps when working with a budget, picking a flower out of season can sometimes be the difference in size of your centerpieces.
