Save Money, Save Time, and uh, Save Some More MoneyI just found out about Bravo Bride which I can only describe as Ebay for wedding stuff. They, of course, feature the dresses on the home page! And, part of the proceeds from each sale goes to the American Heart Associations project for women. Very cool. And I just got another email from NameBirdie.com, which… |
Pictures at the Marvimon HouseI was trolling for wedding news a few weeks ago, and found these lovely pictures of a wedding at the Marvimon House, a very unique space in Los Angeles. I tried sending it out earlier, but the post never made it through, so I figured it I’d try it on my blog. http://cheninboutwell.com/weddings/jen-patrick-the-marvimon-house.html This isn’t… |
Quicksilver! And links!So, November flew by in a hurry, didn’t it? I’ve been working with a Quicksilver Client, Nicole, who needed a place to have her wedding in February. She choose two other vendors for me to find for her – a photographer and a florist. She wanted to have her wedding at a hotel, because most… |
Most fun I've ever had at a Bridal ShowProbably because most Bridal Shows don’t feature a dance club in the middle of them. So, the Marriage Fair, which was part of the annual Valley Pride Festival, was really a lot of fun. Not sure about the concept of putting those two things together, not with Prop 8 still looming over our heads, but… |
So, this week…I went to Bloomingdale’s in Century City last Thursday for a cool little event they did showcasing their wedding registry. Music, cake by Nancy Kay’s Confections (seriously? NOTHING better than cake tastings!), cocktails, hors d’ouerves, it was really nice. The only problem was that it was the same night as the VP debate, and if… |

So Busy!I’m not the best blogger, because I’m so busy actually doing the things I should be blogging about that I forgot…to actually blog about them. Anyway, the 6-week wedding went great – here’s me and Roxy that evening, taken by photographer Blendi Reynolds of Sun-Dance Photography. She actually got a good picture of me smiling,… |
Answering questions on Wedding WireI signed up with weddingwire.com a while ago, because it’s a really good place to send potential clients to look at reviews of my services, AND they just started feeding their content into the Weddings section at Martha Stewart.com, so boy, howdy did I upgrade in a hurry. At any rate, I just visited their… |
How to Build a Wedding in Six Weeks – Only 14 days to go!And half the invites are in, so that’s good. Menus, rentals and flowers, settled. Dan ordered his tux a couple of days, but still has to get his groomsmen to do the same. This week we’re going to focus on putting together a time line for the day, and get all the vendors on board…. |
Getting stuff nailed downSorry I haven’t written in a while, but in the past few days, we’ve picked a caterer, a florist, a photographer, ordered invites and are currently getting the address hand-printed on them in calligraphy. This Thursday it’s all tastings – Caterer and cake, baby! Since most of the vendors are in Ventura county, it’s just… |
A Wedding in Six Weeks – Forty-Six Days to Go!So, yesterday, we all found out that the scroll invitations that they wanted were not available from the vendor anymore, so we spent a couple of hours with Elsa yesterday picking out alternatives. R &D picked out some great ones, but with the RSVP card and the reception card, the price was way too high…. |
