You all know how much that meant to me!



Fourth Row: Photobooth fun with Matt Radlinski from Verve Studios, formally known as Prince K-Gallery, me being a dork, shoveling an entire cupcake in my face (another thing marked off my life list), My sister's cake from Let's Eat Cake!, and Keri Vincent, meeting her (another thing marked off my life list).

Wedding Videography

What Is Garbage Wedding Videography Dress?


Julie Zarchi and Terry Zarchi




As fearless bride in the world wearing their wedding dresses a second time to create such productions Edgy many are left wondering what exactly Trash wedding videography gown is all about. Usually, withdrew a few days after the wedding, the dress shoots baskets video shoot, as music and video allows a much more relaxed atmosphere. Newlyweds can express their true personalities in that time as a photographer and wedding videography can use their true art without the shackles of traditional wedding videography.




Trash dress sessions emphasize the stark contrast between the traditional wedding dress and unlikely location of the bride. Couples usually choose the location and parameters that reflect their personal interests and lifestyle, allowing for a truly personal and artistic creativity. Favorite place between the beach and ocean on the industrial enterprises of the city and the abandoned railroad tracks.




The bride is not done with the traditional wedding videography that their mothers were. They look at the creative possibilities that the dress Trash packages allow. Most brides have no plans to wear their dresses again, and keep them boxed dresses in the closet hoping that their future daughters will wear them. Memories that these photo and video shoots pose seems largely outweigh the risk of damaging the dress.




Unlike the title, most dresses are usually not destroyed and show no signs of distress more than wear and tear, published at a typical wedding reception. Nothing that a trip to the local dry cleaner can not be right!

Outdoor Weddings

Some Ideas For Decorating Outdoor Weddings


By Pinky Savika




Outdoor Weddings are always popular in summer and spring period. This type of marriage is not difficult to plan and very lively, because the environment and the natural environment are used as decorations.




Furthermore, in choosing a site for outdoor weddings a wide range of issues, from yards, parks, botanical gardens, beaches, the opportunities are phenomenal. The most popular outdoor weddings decorations, which can be found are the arches, garlands, and many colorful flowers. Here are some other good ideas, if you want a wedding in an outdoor setting:




If you will be asked to choose a good place for outdoor weddings, then you will not be so many problems when it comes to jewelry.




1. If you choose the beach, you can create a simple arch with sets of Plain White chairs in rows.




2. If you prefer to botanical gardens, you can use natural tropical flowers and exotic plants in the background. The rest of the plants and flowers will decorate the whole scene wedding. Use a large flower garlands on the columns and pillars, which stands beside the bride and groom.




3. When you want your wedding to be in the park, all you need is to adorn it with garlands of ivy, flowers, tulle, and lots of lights. And, as parks are usually already have a pergola, making it the center of marriage ceremony. Be sure that all the flowers and tulle consistent so that color will not be unpleasant to watch.




4. If you are planning a outdoor weddings, you need a good background to make the outside look more elegant on the big day and, of course, for wedding photos.




Finally, for all these places the wedding, the arch will always be there, and so it is very important for outdoor weddings. You can buy ready-made arches or you can build them to the wedding. Arch is a very beautiful decoration of wedding and often in the center of attention so you need to do a magnificent view of decorating it with exquisite colors, fabrics and ribbons.

Winter Boards: Red & Aqua

This week we are featuring winter inspiration boards in honor of the upcoming holiday. We paired red and aqua together for an unexpected color combination and look how beautiful it came out:

Vendorzilla: Photographer

{Source}

Photographerzilla... do you realize that after the wedding, you are what the bride and groom have. Your work. Your albums (hopefully!) Your referrals... not if you are a Photographerzilla! Please, don't zilla'ize yourself!

Photographerzilla, if you want to be at the rehearsal, that'd be great! If you ask to chat with the bridal party for a minute or two, that's great too... but don't turn that 2 minutes into a 30 minute speech about how you'd like things to run tomorrow... uh, not your day.

Photographerzilla, I sent you the timeline in advance we talked about it... you discussed it, we adjusted it to suit your needs... so on the wedding day, if you say you need another 20 minutes, it's really not a big deal, until it starts messing with the other vendors... like, dinner.

Photographerzilla, sounds obviously...but be on time... show up.

Photographerzilla, don't delete the bride and grooms wedding pictures from your memory cards until they are uploaded to your computer in at least duplicate... cuz I've seen photographers loose entire weddings. Literally.

Photographerzilla, meet your deadlines for albums. If you promise an album in 6-8 months after the wedding and a year goes by and the bride and groom still don't have an album (and they met your deadlines) they are gonna be mad.

Photographerzilla, don't scream to your staff at the wedding in the middle of the ceremony. HEY OVER THERE! Everyone can hear you... unprofessional!

Photographerzilla, don't cut the Father of the Bride in the buffet line! I promise you'll get to eat...

Photographerzilla, don't scream curse words at your staff. Everyone can hear you. And it's really bad form if your staff is your wife.

What are your fears for a photographerzilla?

Vendorzilla: Florist

{Photo}

Dear Floristzilla, a bride usually has some very specific ideas for her flowers, or her colors, or her look. And she really puts a lot of stock in you to help her make her vision come true. You can quickly go from being her best friend to her floristzilla...



Floristzilla, if a bride shows you a picture of a bouquet and says she wants it to look exactly like that, make sure that the bride in the picture isn't a size 2 and this your client is a size 14, that will make a difference in the size of the bouquet. And you don't want her to ultimately be disappointed.



Floristzilla, please realize how important colors are to brides. If her colors are Burgandy and Rose, and the blooms show up to you and they are hot pink... please know that isn't going to be acceptable. Fix it before you deliver the bouquets.



Floristzilla, if there is a problem, address it, you ignoring the situation doesn't make things any better. It does in fact, make it worse.



Floristzilla, communication is K-E-Y! Please communicate, don't wait 3 weeks to return a call, don't answer other calls in a meeting with your clients, don't be late to meetings, don't not meet the contract obligations.



Floristzilla, if the bride tells you she has $10,000 to spend and your initial proposal comes back $30,000 that is going to scare her off. Don't do that. And then, don't come back and ask me what happened...



Floristzilla, don't get on your high horse during a meeting, there is already a lot of emotions going on when a wedding is being planned. And additional drama queen (or king) is not necessary.



Wow! There are so many more... what would make your florist a "zilla"?

Vendorzilla: DJ

{Source}

DJzilla... WOW! Don't be this guy....



Djzilla, we love you, and we want you to make this party awesometastic! So, really... help me out!



Djzilla, just because you are a rockstar DJ on Rock The Buzz 101.1 and your morning show listeners love to hear your voice, doesn't mean you should talk through the whole reception.



Djzilla, there is a timeline for a reason. We developed the order of events with the bride and groom. Please don't willy-nilly change it. It really confuses everything.



Djzilla, don't sing over the music... someone sings that song, and was paid really good money to make that music, you are ruining it.



Djzilla, you are an Mceeing the event, you actually need to let people know when things are going to happen. Speak english into the microphone... don't mumble... please!



Djzilla, uncomfortable silences are uncomfortable for a reason... please play music constantly... otherwize it sounds like a cafeteria!



Djzilla, if you cannot speak English well, scratch that... if you cannot speak English... and your words all sound slurred together, practice your words.



Djzilla, please don't get trashed at the wedding. You are there to work, not get so drunk that we need to call you a cab.



This goes back to using professionals! Please use professionals and you won't have this problem. Get references. If you are working with a Professional Wedding Planner, you'll be able to get professional recommendations from us, about who to use...and who not to.

Vendorzilla: Caterer

Caterzilla... oh how we love your food, but your 'tude is killing us!

This post is not about one particular caterer, but about all of the things that caterers can do that make them a 'zilla.

Caterzilla, it would be nice to see an estimate within a few week of meeting with a client. Waiting 9 weeks and then wondering why the client didn't choose you... hmmm.

Caterzilla, if my client wants to know what ingredients are in something you make, it's probably because there is a food allergy, please don't lie. No one is trying to steal your recipes, we just want to make sure that no one dies.

Caterzilla, if my client has menu questions and they email you.... and you don't email them back - EVER. They are bound to be ticked off.

Caterzilla, if someone asks you if you have a set menu to choose from and you don't... and you only do custom menu's for clients, that's okay, but let them know. Don't hang up on them.

Caterzilla, sometimes taking the high road is better than sabatoging an event... oh and doing that, would be just wrong. The high road is always better.

Caterzilla, if you staff is rude - please handle the situation.

Caterzilla, don't blame the bride and groom for your wrong doings... that just upsets everyone.

Again, these are not examples of just my events, they are from my friends who are wedding planners too. From all over... these are all situations that were handled, alot behind the scenes and can all be avoided.

Wedding Location

Choosing A Wedding Location Is An Ideal Location


Diane Winter




How do you dream wedding day, you try to picture the perfect wedding location venue. Time romantic mood, and all the fun is what you hope to experience on your big day. There are various ways to find the perfect wedding location to the wedding day extra special. Some people will eventually choose a place where they had attended the wedding, others choose a place where they spent much time over the years, some people choose a place that they had heard through other people, while others choose a place that they never before seen, but found after a long search.




Some important things to keep in mind when choosing the ideal wedding location rent location, size and location, how many seats will be available, the atmosphere of the place, whether they have the dance floor, and what services are offered on site. Another thing to think about it, whether you need a separate place for the ceremony and reception. If you have a wedding ceremony, you can choose the place where you can have a reception in the banquet hall of the church or you might receive in a completely different place. If you have a wedding outside the Church, you can often ceremony and reception in one room. Often, if the season is suitable, you may decide to have an outdoor ceremony with a reception at a nearby tent.




When it comes to price ideal wedding, you need to keep in mind the budget, as well as search. Thus, if something out of your budget, you can immediately cross it from the list. This will be a huge help as there may be many places that you are considering. If there is something for a price you can afford, but not too far, trying to consider the revised price. You may find that you can get is the ideal location for a wedding a much lower price.




Size ideal wedding should be reasonable that the number of guests you expect. The first thing to bear in mind that usually about half to two thirds of the invited guests will attend. Your wedding location should be large enough to accommodate so many people, but small enough so that the place was not empty. Having too much space will take an intimate atmosphere that you are trying to create.




If you are looking for the perfect wedding location, which is able to supply your reception, you want to take this into account when choosing the location. Also ask if they have a group or a DJ, they usually work. Some wedding sites, even to decorate your place, which could ultimately save a lot on decorations and flowers. Basically, you want to ask about all the services that they offer at each venue possible marriage.




Although it may seem that you have a lot of work to find the perfect location of the wedding, they know it is there, and you can have the wedding that you always dreamed of.
