HAPPY FALL!
It's been a while since I've written, but a lot has happened.
I attended Wedding MBA in Las Vegas. This was a wonderful, exciting convention with many excellent speakers. Everything that we learned will help us give our clients the best service utilizing the latest in technology.
Kathy Ireland was a featured speaker. What an inspiration she is and such a "touchable" personality.
Trends for next year are white weddings. Everything from the attendants attire to the flowers are white. To go the other direction, use rich vibrant colors, such as the jewel tones. Weddings are getting back to more formal, black tie affairs, more intimate. Excitement, fun and maybe something a bit different, are the order of the day. Don't be afraid to enlist the services of a school choir, a magician, set up a Las Vegas room, and don't forget the photo booth! My advice is let your guests wanting more! You'll all have fun and wonderful memories of a very special day.
My "Planned Elopements" are becoming more popular. Couples who don't want the fuss of a full wedding, but still want a meaningful, romantic wedding, other than just signing on the dotted line at the county clerk's office, allow me to help them arrange a romantic stay at one of the mountain resorts or fabulous hotels in downtown Denver. Want a sunset ceremony? Take a look at what I did at Daniel's Park.
In September I did an elopement in Black Hawk, Colorado, at the Ameristar Hotel and Casino. We actually went up the hill about a quarter of mile and down into a grove of aspen trees. Makeup and hair was done by Leslie Snyder of www.lesliesarts.com and photography was done by Ken Miller www.kenmillerphotography.com.
Also in September I had the opportunity to do a wedding for a wonderful couple. The ceremony was in their back yard, and the reception was held at the DTC Hyatt. Decor was done, beautifully by Design Works. Jessie is a wonder to work with. The fabulous cake was done by Elegant Bakery, www.elegantbakery.com and was gluten free. (There wasn't a crumb left!) This bride also did something outstanding. She wrote and sang (via CD) the song for their first dance. It was written specifically for her groom! You can look for her CD at some point on the shelves! (Justine Wasserman-Thomas).
Currently, I'm working on an elopement to be in Breckenridge in December. As a reminder, I am available to travel, so can assist with any destination wedding anywhere in the world.
Have a Happy Fall, HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!
