Brides Against Breast Cancer- TV Interview

Brides Against Breast Cancer - My TV Interview



I was in Canada last week with my Rockstar Wedding Planner Mastermind Group, and I can't wait to tell you all about it, but first things first!

This is the week! This weekend is the Big Charity Dress Sale, VIP night, and Bridal Show!
Yesterday I did an interview with Molly Hughes from Channel 4 News all about the organization, dress sale, and bridal show. It will air on Thursday sometime...so look for that. (Here I am with Molly and one of our models)

We also have ads playing on Alice 105.9 and Wolf radio station. Plus there will be a live interview on Thursday on Colorado and Co.

If you're a bride, be sure to get in on this great opportunity to get a dress at a great price, and help breast cancer patients!

If you're a vendor, please pass this info on to your clients!

Wedding Design - Kate and Drew's Wedding

Kate and Drew's Backyard Wedding
Boulder, Colorado

I posted my photo of Kate and Drew's cake on Monday, but mine just don't do it justice.
I promised a few photos from Jared Wilson Photography and here they are. As usual he did an incredible job! (You can see more on his blog post too ) I love the last photograph of them cutting the cake....it was a little dark and I wasn't sure how he would get the shot without a flash.....he's a miracle worker!
Kate and Drew's wedding had a few little New Orlean's flair's to honor the groom's hometown.
New Orleans appetizers and second line band, and a surprise to the groom a groom's bar with a LSU 3-D tiger's head groom's cake, pralines, cigars, and favorite beer.
The rest was pure garden party wedding!

Photo of the Week- Garden Party Wedding

Photo of the Week- Garden Wedding

This weekend was Kate and Drew's Wedding in her parent's backyard. We got lucky on the weather! It rained during the set up , but was lovely for the rest of the evening. No...we didn't have tent!
I snapped a couple of quick photos of the cake. It was just gorgeous in front of the arch. We added twinkle lights and a few garden roses to the arch for a little romantic touch.

Photo of the Week- The Big Bustle!

Photo of the Week- The Big Bustle

It's that interesting part of the evening...let's lift up the gown and see what we got? It's the hustle to tie the bustle!
(Not a professional photo, just one we snapped on my phone...but there were 3 of us working on the 32 bustles of this gown!)

I always think bustling is so funny...you have 2-3 people under your gown tying you up...don't know why I think it's amusing?

Every wedding gown is different (usually easy to figure out when you've done a few like me), and it always take a bit of time to get your gown bustled so plan a few minutes girls. Just have one of your gals bring you a white wine to enjoy while you wait!

Photo Shoot on Monday

Bride and Bloom Fall Wedding Photo Shoot
I just returned from celebrating my hubby's 40th Birthday at Disneyland with the family. What a great time!

Here's what his office friends did to his office before we left:
Hundreds of personalized Happy Birthday sticky notes covered every square inch of his office, including his roller mat for his chair and floor. Yes, he's still cleaning them up.
It's always wonderful to get away with the family, but you do come back to a VERY BUSY week!
On Monday I'm doing a photo shoot for Bride and Bloom magazine as one of their featured wedding planners. It's going to be a beautiful fall look. Can't wait!
I'll let ya know when it's published! All right...back to work....

Wedding Design - Apple Themed Wedding

Wedding Design
Jaylene and Jeremy's Apple Themed Wedding

This past weekend J&J exchanged vows at Red Rocks Trading Post followed by a luncheon reception at the Red Rocks amphitheater, and then a hot after party that evening.



Jaylene contacted me from my ezine and since she was planning long distance she thought a little help would be in order.



Early in the morning I was a little worried we would have to move everything indoors, but the sky cleared and they were able to have the great outdoor wedding they wanted.

Being at Red Rocks, home of great concerts...there was one that night even.....the bride selected appropriate music for the setting.

The Honored Guests were seated to Come Away with Me by Nora Jones.
The Bridal Party entered to Lucky by Jason Miraz.
The Bride to 1,2,3,4 by the Plain White T's.


The brides theme was apples...she had vases down the aisle filled with them which was just so summery feeling. They were also included in the reception, I loved the escort card table! The centerpieces were so natural with the pots filled with a variety of plants. The guests got to take the centerpieces home and I donated all the apples to the Denver Rescue Mission.
So here's a few pics....our photographers aren't available yet, so I'll post some of those soon!
