Need Help???

Who doesn't need help every now and then? Let's be honest shall we? Planning a wedding can be fun, exciting and stressful. One minuet you are flashing that pretty little diamond for all to see, and the next your trying to figure out vendors and venues, what everyone will be wearing, not to mention your dress! The world feels like it's spinning you in a waltz you had no interest in dancing and the idea of eloping may be sounding as amazing as a trip to the spa. Well as much as I like to pretend to be Wonder Woman, I have really just begun to get my bag of tricks together. So let's reach in that bag and see what I have!

<3 The Knot

The Knot is amazing. They have everything you need. Their website is just as amazing. If not more so. You can go through pictures and look up venue's, and vendors and save them to your profile. Through The Knot you can make your wedding website as well. Everything can be be done on this one stop, if you prefer to just get it all done.


<3 Brides Magazine

I love this magazine! Combine with The Knot, and I feel on top of things where wedding trends are concerned. Where The Knot goes by seasons, Brides Magazine goes by seasons. trends get added to the former trends, and so on and so forth.

There are wedding planning books and blogs to read up on how to plan your wedding. I will be posting more of these books and blogs. =)


* UPDATE*

So far this month I have sold two maybe three wedding dresses. I love my brides!!! They have been so much fun to work with! Stephanie, is my Puerto Rico bride and is and will always be known to me as my first bride! Kate is my Ocean City Bride =) Their dresses are stunning! I can't wait for their dresses to come in!!!!!

I also have two weddings I will be assisting in.one this November and one next July. I can't wait to work with those brides some more!!! =)


Man. What an amazing feeling it is to be apart of someones day! =)

The Martha Stewart in Me

Do you see it??? I MADE that. How did I come to making this? Well I had a dream. I had made a belt and I suddenly opened my eyes, shot out of bed and spent about 30 minuets of my life making this. It's a belt and belts like the one above is making a statement in the bridal world. I have seen a lot of black belts on wedding dresses. Sooo what if I don't want to wear a black belt but something personal? Something that is mine and no one else has it. That's the beauty of crafts!

To make a belt like this is so simple that if I can do it you can too.

* For this one I used a blue ribbon, but you can use any color you want.
* I took a fake flower ( the kind you get at a craft store) I took three petals and sewed them together.
*the little Dollie was made by my great grandmother. I sew that to the petals
* I used one pearl-like bead and sewed that on too.

you are suppose to sew it on to the ribbon, but because my ribbon was to small ( mannequin size) I am going to save it, till I get the right size ribbon. It's got the blue, old, and it's new. Best part? It's mine!!! No body has it. Because of the personal touch with the Dollie my great grandmother made. A little piece of your history to have on your wedding day. It's special. It's simple yet you can make it as lavish as you want.

Yesterday at work, we had a pretty slow day. No body was coming in... it was creepy. But not as creepy as the random dude that came in, and asked to see Bridget. He just came in and it creeped Bridget out, it made everybody feel creeped out. He left and we haven't seen him again.

I will be doing weddings in November and next July. So I'll keep you updated on those.

I hope you all have a great day, and I hope to be posting soon! God Bless!

Changes!

I am not against change, in fact I love change! I was sitting here and was trying to find ways to make the blog just a little bit more interesting. I am wanting to do interviews about what true love is. This is all I'm going to say about this for now, but I am working on some ways to do this series. If you have ideas, I am all ears!

GOOD NEWS!!!!!

As of Saturday July 2,2011; I sold my first wedding gown!!!!! WOOT! Boy I can not begin to tell you how excited I was when I sold my first dress! I was walking on clouds. I can't wait to make more dreams come true in the coming years! I honestly believe i have the best job ever! ;) The look on the girl's face when she puts on the dress that makes her feel like the beautiful bride she is, and starts calling it her dress, is so rewarding!



So since I have been working at K&B Bridal and Event Planning, I have been amazed at how many go for the ruffles. don't take this wrong! I love the ruffles, they are pretty, but do I have the personality for them? No. Yet more and more personality dresses get sold and I am glad to see them go to the right girl. Yet, I have only seen one, very traditional bride. You know what I am talking about, The gloves,Cinderella ball gown, tiera.. those brides seem to be really rare, or at least whenever I am in the store they are.

What do you feel about the chances in bridal fashion??

Lost Blogs,Karen Kingsbury,and Cupcakes

So last night I suddenly remembered that I had another blog.... and I have neglected it. Oh well... but it's fun reading through it. Some of the things I wrote about I had completely forgotten. I wrote about, my lime green CROCS@ great reading. hahaha

So one of my favorite authors (EVER) Karen Kingsbury has been writing books about Bailey (YAY)
1. Sadly it took me forever to find the 1st book Leaving at my library. I thought I was going to cry. I went to one of my librarians, and they found it for me.
2. I have still not had the chance to go on yet another expedition to look for Learning. But I feel reluctant to return Leaving... taking it to work tomorrow, to read, and since I work at K&B Bridal and Event Planning there are packs of tissues. I may need them.
3. Even though I have no clue if Brandon or Cody claim Bailey's heart for keeps, I started planning her wedding this morning. No joke.

Bailey's wedding I can imagine would be classified in wedding books as Simple Romantic Elegance. Let's go through each one.

Simple- Meaning something not outrageous. Bailey is such a beautiful character, and her wedding would clean and tastefully done. I can't imagine Bailey with a million dollar wedding. It would look like a million, but not break the bank.

Romantic- As Bailey walks towards the guy that God hand picked for her, I can imagine the guy's mouth dropping because she looks stunning. That's romantic!

Elegance- She's beautiful and her wedding would totally reflect her!!!

Now what about her dress?????!!!!! This is where I pull up my sleeves and work magic. ;) ( That's a finale)

here are some picture ideas, for our eyes... courtesy of The Knot

reception-





or this really cute idea! ( i couldn't resist!!)





( DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!) What I can picture Bailey wearing.





This dress is an A-Line with a few pick-ups ( for a dramatic flare Bailey dreams of Broadway) It does have a cathedral train ( think Kate Middleton's train) The bustle would be fantastic, it would fit right into the existing pick up! It would look very natural!.

So there I did some day dreaming. If your a Karen Kingsbury fan, what do you think? Got any ideas? let's here them!!!!


Now that I daydreamed a wedding, Let's talk cupcakes! Flavor Cupcakes are my new best friends! They taste soooo yummy!!!!

=) If you come to Maryland and have a cupcake craving, this is where to go!

God has been so good! I was reading this morning in James about taming the tongue. It is so small yet so dangerous! Words can be so hurtful! =(

He has also been good in providing for my needs. I now have a cheaper alternative to blaze my trail towards becoming a wedding coordinator. I am a very happy princess!
I can't begin to tell you how much I love my job! The fact that I'm doing what i love is so amazing. I found a new song that made me love and be thankful to my Savior even more..

I love this song!!!

I hope you all have a blessed day! God Bless my friends!
