What's your Wedding Colors?

Wedding Colors

I was referred to this great website by one of my I-Wed Buddies. The website is "Wedding By Color". This site reflects the bride and groom's character, taste and style. What is your style? Is your style vibrant, elegant, playful, or classy? Whatever your style is, your colors should reflect it!

As a wedding planner, I have heard numerous times, "I know what my main colors are but I am not sure what my coordinating colors should be. " This website is great for getting opinions from other brides that have already used your colors as well as seeing pictures of how the colors are used for linens, bridesmaids dresses, favors and flowers. Here you can search out different ideas that go perfectly with your theme as well as colors. The forum is a great place to touch base with other brides that know exactly how your feel and what your are going through in your planning process.

Please visit the site: www.weddingbycolor.com and check out yours truly as a Premium Vendor from Houston Texas! Sign up and have fun sharing ideas and opinions.
I have also posted my very first article...." Top 5 Reason why you need to hire a Wedding Planner!"
Please, check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Have fun!

Natural Disasters...Do you have a back up plan? Part I

We here in Houston, Texas are in the process of rebounding from Hurricane IKE! It really got me to thinking. How many brides have back up plans if this happened in their area? I have always been a fan of Houston being born and raised here, but I love it even more now! Our Wedding vendors are the best! They really care about their clients and realize how much of a special day this will be for all involved. I am so proud to say that I work with the best wedding vendors in the world! My inbox has been flooded with vendors offering to help in any way they can with displaced brides. We have so many facilities that are without power or have major roof damage. Because of this, what's a bride to do if you have an upcoming event? We here at DeVine Choices Wedding and Event Planning are so glad you asked! This will be part one of a series of four .

Topic: Bridal Insurance...Is it worth it?

Alternatives to bridesmaids flowers

I recently had a bride that stated that she was really not a flower person. She wanted to minimize her personal flowers for her wedding party. She went as far as to say, " I really don't want my attendants to carry any flowers! Well that really got my creative wheels spinning. What else could the bridesmaids carry if not flowers? After much research, I found out this is really becoming a up and comming wedding trend. I love it!! Here you can be as creative as YOU would like to be. Just think you can give your selections to your bridemaids as gifts!

See below for more of the suggestions that were presented to her and share your thoughts.. Can you guess which one she selected?
