An Era of a Bride

Are you a modern-day gal or are you a true romantic at heart longing for days long ago?

Since the 1800's women have donned themselves with elaborate style gowns infused with ruffles, brocade, lace, and jewels. Petticoats, and undergarments, and other underpinnings that required the help of several others to get into to achieve the desired effect. From Queen Elizabeth to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to Princess Diana, and to you the brides of today and tomorrow, all had/have unique styles and qualities that set each one apart from the other.

What statement would you like to make as your debut as a bride? Whatever your ideals are for your look for your Big Day, know that in choosing a particular style, or era, it will affect your overall being (Temporally, emotionally, and physically). Your essence as a Bride really and truly permeates from your thoughts and feelings about yourself intertwined with the love of that for your groom. Your attire will only enhance it.

In choosing your attire for your special day, give careful thought about the type of person that you are. If you're glamours, romantic, carefree, or modern, start there. My advice, if you choose an era style or a style that does not match or reflect your personality, it will offset your equilibrium. As a result you will not feel comfortable, and will probably not enjoy your day to it's fullest. With that as your base, and in choosing a gown/dress of your dreams, here are a few questions to ask yourself:

* How you feel in the dress?
* Is it size appropriate?
* Does it cover up tattoos or scars?(Would concealer or make up be an option?)
* Are you comfortable?
* Does this tie into the theme or style of your wedding?

Note: Your dress should never wear you, but you should wear your dress.

So, what type of bride will you be? If you choose an era say of the 1800's, 1920', 1940's, go for it, but in the process don't forget to let you shine through. You would want the woman your groom fell in love to be present on that day. And you would want to see you when you look through your photo album years from now.

Remember, what you feel and view about yourself on your big day, is how others will view you as well.

Bridal Shower Bliss

This weekend we surprised Adrienne, the Bride-to-Be (my baby sister) with her shower.

It was a completely unexpected and emotional event for her and special for everyone else involved. Everything was lovely. From the cake topper to her wedding gown balloon, to her serving plates. Every last detail was lovely, well thought out and orchestrated to perfection. I had to give kudos to the Maid of Honor, Freda, who happens to be the oldest of the twin set.

Well folks, we're down to the wire. With only 17 more days until Matrimonial Bliss and the bride couldn't be more happier or excited.

Me too!..

When I first started my business, I never really sat down and thought about a marketing plan. A plan, yes, the website, the business cards, etc. etc. But never a thorough plan.

As I stated in a previous post, that I was taking my firm in a new direction with a need and a desire to add diversity. So with new seasons, come new clients. In working with different lifestyles and cultures, LMEP was been blessed with the opportunity to learn and evolve with each new experience. And I want to share them with you.

Thus, I have put together a few marketing tools and would very much love your opinion on each of them. These new and exciting tools are all great in each of their perspectives. I like them all (unbiased, of course). I will definitely keep the staples, but I'm pushing towards adding flare in the "scheme of my marketing" so to say. To get a closer view, just right click on each of the photos. Look each of them over carefully and give me your honest opinion. I would be honored. ;-)

Many thanks!

Happy Voting!

June Bug?

Greetings all!

Happy June Everyone.

Tis' the season to be busy. My apologies for the late entry. The wedding season has arrived and I am hard at work planning, as well as bringing additional staff on board. The other day I was contacted by a high school to engage one of their students in an internship. She has an interest in wedding and event planning and already has some experience in hospitality. What really impressed me was her resume and cover letter, and she's only sixteen! WOW. I'll let you know how that works out. I'll be back next week to post more tips and advice on planning the wedding or event of your dreams. Until then....stay tuned.
