Inspiration!

I am sure that most wedding junkies have discovered this site I am going to tell you about, but I only just discovered it a few hours ago!

There is a very unique website called "Dessy" which allows you to hunt for dresses, accessories, etc. for weddings. Not only that, but it has a fabulous tool (my new toy!) called the "styleboard." This styleboard is highly addictive- I just created two in the last hour. It is going to be a wonderful addition to my planning regime for brides. Not only can you upload pictures from your computer or the internet that inspire you, but they also provide a decent array of photos in categorized lists. It's easy and fun!

Try it for yourself: http://www.dessy.com/!

To see my 2nd attempt, scroll to the bottom of the page!

Thoughtful Bouquets

I am currently in the middle of planning two weddings. One set for the second week of October and the other for the first weekend in November- that one will be outdoors...in northern Arkansas! It will be chilly!

There are so many pieces of information that I need to gather in order to complete my brides' requests and turn their visions into a reality. It is easier to plan more than one at a time though, because as I look for pictures I now have two different styles to look for and thus my search always feels more successful.

I admit I've been more in touch with the October bride this past month. I am only doing the set-up and design for her ceremony and reception (specifically the flowers) which takes away the stress of booking caterers, worrying about telling her the cake was destroyed (not that that would happen!) etc.

More to come on the planning and pictures when I'm done!
