Laura's Birthday

On Sunday my girlfriends & I got together to celebrate our dear friend Laura's Birthday. She wanted a quiet breakfast just with the girls. (no boyfriend, husbands or significant others..:0) JUST THE GIRLS for some catching up! She chose Green Street at the Grove because of their great breakfast & atmosphere. As I arrive, I see news station cameras & just a ton of people. Come to find out Rudy Guliani was on his way there.

Just when we had sat down for breakfast he made his arrival. He walked to a few tables & also made his way to ours. (I guess the 7 HOT girls at the table caught his attention). I took a quick picture while he was shaking our hands. All I can say is so much for an uneventful & quiet breakfast with the girls. Either way, we still had a great breakfast together. It is always so nice to get together & take a break from our crazy & busy lives.

Laura HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE! WISHING YOU MANY BLESSINGS FOR THIS NEW YEAR! LOVE YA!

To my girls: I love you all very much also!

Stephanie & George Wedding

Well I thought after Colleen’s wedding that I had seen the Queens of DIY!!! They sure have competition with Stephanie & her mom Susy!! These ladies sure are giving them a run for their money with DIY chargers, centerpieces, invites, favors, hair pieces….. you name it! Susy has even started her own website to feature all these great stuff! http://www.miamiweddinghelper.com/

The wedding ceremony & reception were at the beautiful Rusty Pelican. It rained on & off all morning leading up to the ceremony. We had cleaned the chairs 3 times before the actual ceremony started, talk about stressful! Fortunately, minutes before the ceremony the rain stopped, the sky cleared & made for a beautiful backdrop. The décor was the popular & modern look of Tiffany Blue with Chocolate. They really brought the theme together with the amazing DIY chargers that Rob (Stephanie’s dad) worked so hard making for his baby girl! So nice to see a family come together to add those special touches. My favorite part of the wedding was just seeing how happy their friends and families were to share in their special day!

Stephanie & George: we wish you a marriage full of love & happiness!

Thank you Michael & Claudia at http://www.evolvingservices.com/ for sharing the beautiful pictures!

Professional Planners

I recently came across this great article from Liene Stevens at Blue Orchid Designs based out of Arizona! (one of the top wedding planning firms in that area & expanding) Loved the article & really felt that I had to share.... Why you say?

My company was named "Events On A Budget" with the intent that our prices would always remain reasonable for our brides. I know that our prices are not the least expensive in the industry but they are reasonable for that of a professional! We sometimes get inquiries from brides telling us how they recieved some extemely low quotes for other planners services & that they would like the same from us. This article really makes light of this topic & think anyone looking for a planner should read this before doing price comparisons!
