Happy Friday!

Happy Friday means something to most people, but in the day and a life of a wedding planner or someone who works in the wedding industry, it means that we have at least one more day of work.... which is totally fine with me, because I love my brides!

There is so much to do before a wedding, did you know that that the average wedding takes 300 hours of planning! That's a lot of time, and a lot of details to take care of - that is why one of the largest trends now-a-days is to hire a consultant, if not just to help organize your thoughts, ideas, and know that you won't have to worry about a thing on the day of your life's more cherished celebration.

Anyone in this industry has to truly love their job - there must be a passion for weddings, a desire to help, be dependable, creative, understanding, organized, tactful, I think the list of adjectives can go on and on - but you just want your clients to be relaxed on the day of their wedding and have fun, that's what it's all about!

Meet Kristen and Justin, they are just having a blast - and it shows! We made a banner for them to run through when they were being announced for the first time as husband and wife! They loved it, their guests loved it, in fact they still stop me today and say how fun their reception was! (Photo by: Photograhy by Rebecca)

I think that sometimes wedding guests are sort of ho-hum about wedding receptions, thinking "they are all the same" - so kicking it up a notch is always a funner (gosh there's that word again!) way for guests to remember your wedding reception.

Stats show that guests 85% of the time remember the food first, and secondly how fun the party was, so make it a good one!
