Rainy Day Thoughts

Oh blog, how I've missed thee...let me count the ways!

If you are a usual follower of the blog you'll realize that I've taken a hiatus for a few months. I wish I had a good excuse, but the truth is between client weddings, expanding the destination arm of POSH, the studio redesign, new staffing, planning my own wedding and a little thing called life, I've really been swamped.

I'm often conflicted. Should I blog just for the sake of blogging? Even if it's not quality? I realize these days "blogging" can make you look busier than you are, more educated than you are, and like an expert in a world where the reality is your peers are actually WORKING and focusing quality customer service to existing clients.

As I peek out the window, look at the massive amounts of rain flooding the area and reflect on the last few months, I realize that I really miss my blog and the virtual family that resulted. So here I am, starting again. Renewed spirit and plenty of content to share.

My gorgeous bride Ellie, who is currently on her honeymoon, sent me a link to this blog post last week as we anxiously awaited the final accu-weather results on her weather for Saturday. Final Answer=Rain.

She asked that I share this link with future brides as she found it helpful to ease her nerves for Saturday. As a future bride myself (with the great fear of a blizzard on our day), I can certainly relate. The article is from the blog Kiss the Groom and I hope it brings you comfort on your big day!

And just in case that wasn't enough...here you go. Our gorgeous bride on a rainy yet perfect day! (Picture courtesy of Entwined Studio)

Monday

Carmen Married Sebastian

It finally happened. Rain that is.



This past Saturday, in a quaint, gorgeously landscaped backyard at a private home in Woodbury, NJ, 91 guests witnessed the union of Carmen to the love her life, Sebastian. Joined by the couple, were their wedding party of their siblings and 19 vendors, 4 of which played beautiful music for the Bride to walk down her stone paved walk.

One hour later we were joined by 3 uninvited guests...and they definitely made their presence know. Their names...rain, thunder and lightening.

In 5+ years of Coordinating weddings, I've been privileged to not have a wedding disturbed by the forces of mother nature. Saturday was no different. As we witnessed torrential downpours, I glanced over to my lovely Bride Carmen and smiled as she was dancing in her Nicole Miller gown embracing the thunder showers and waiting nearby was her handsome new groom. The skies partied long enough Saturday evening for a dry, sunlit ceremony and shortly thereafter, our guests brought a much needed gift for the newlyweds...a breeze.

I was fortunate to be joined by the amazing team of vendors including Feastivities Catering and Blue Line Media Productions, who assisted in making the Mirochna-Bahr Wedding a seamless event.

Looking forward to the pictures Chelsea!
