My Wedding Traditions

Something Old: My dress, I already had the perfect one for a small summer beach ceremony in my closet!
Something New: My engagement ring, I only had it for one month before we were married.
Something Borrowed: Jewelry.
Something Blue: The flower pin on my dress.

SoCal Ladies! Have you been a Bridesmaid? Want a chance to wear your wedding dress again? <3

Brides, Bridesmaids, or Ladies that just want to dress up for a day!

I need to create some stock photography for my event planning business website. I am looking for up to 4 ladies that can help out. All you have to do is show up in your wedding dress for photos!! You will get digital copies of all the photos for free and can use them for portfolios or whatever you like.

*If you don't have a wedding dress (or aren't married!) I have one that can be used for shoots. I believe it is a size 6. I am also looking for ladies that can come as bridesmaids. Either wear your own dress or one of the ones that have been provided, all black and ranging from size 4-8.

( We can carpool and you will not be charged for parking/admission. )

Business Cards

I tried something new and ordered business cards from www.VistaPrint.com Secret of the trade, all you pay for is shipping! They actually look well made and professional. Thanks to Peggy Jewell from www.JewellEntertainment.com for the tip!

Edible Arrangements

I just love Edible Arrangements! They are so creative and the company comes up with unique designs for every occasion and season. Send one as a wedding gift to a Bride and Groom. Forward a bouquet to their honeymoon location to compliment their celebrations with a sweet treat. Edible Arrangements can even be used as centerpeices, whether at the buffet/dessert tables or on each guest dining table.

What are we spending?

The Wedding Report, an annual survey that watches the cost of weddings and the trends involved, says last year's average wedding cost was around $30,000.

To date the most expensive celebrity wedding was between Liza Minelli and David Gest at $3.5 million. There were 300 guests at a Manhattan church, including best man Michael Jackson. Minelli wored a $40,000 gown and a reception dress costing $14,000. The reception included 850 family members and friends.
