The new season of the hit show "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?" aired on the Style Network this past Tuesday October 7th. As I waited in anticipation (I'm sooo over reruns these days), I must say, I was a bit dissapointed at the premiere.
Although the weddings featured were big budget and "pretty", is it me or did the overall feeling leave something to be desired?
I must say, I am looking forward to seeing some "old favorites" this season and hope that as time progresses the show moves back to its roots of HIGHLIGHTING the Wedding Coordinator's role in creating a FABULOUS day for their couples. After all, that is our job is it not?
Ugh, reality tv. Love to hate it.
So, what did you all think?

Bridal Canvas
As a Coordinator, there's no better resource for helping my Clients envision the day of their dreams than a storyboard. Storyboards pull together all the individual wedding elements (decor, attire, theme) into one location and provide a visual of how all of the individual pieces will ultimately look as a collective.
Anyone who has ever attempted to create a storyboard (also known as an inspiration board) knows that as beautiful as they are, they can be a nightmare to compile. Until now. Ladies and gentlemen...Bridal canvas
Bridal canvas is the latest solution to storyboards offering couples the option to pick from preloaded elements and real wedding images or upload from their own images to create their "bridal inspiration canvas". The best part, the templates are so easy to use and share with your bridal party members, vendors or other brides!
Imagine...envision, click and create. SWEET!
PS. For a sample inspiration board (although not created with Bridal Canvas), check out the FABULOUS chocolate and pink board posted on the Affairs with Elegance blog today.

Tag, I'm it!
I was tagged by my colleague and good friend Lakendra Kennedy of Affairs with Elegance. Nothing like a game of blog tag to get the week off to a good start! Here goes:
Four things I did today:
1. Spoke with Max & Me Catering regarding menu planning for our 9/26/09 couple.
2. Finalized 30 handwritten thank you notes to vendors for my last few weddings (better late than never right?)
3. Treated myself to a Grande non-fat light whip hot chocolate from Starbucks. I love Starbucks. Every time I'm in there I'm amused at the ordering process. If you listen closely, it always sounds like a bunch of complex physics equations being spewed over the counter.
4. Exchanged emails with a past client from 2 years ago. My how time flies!
Four things on my to-do list:
1. Order the linen sample for the "Touches" design consultation scheduled for this Saturday.
2. Finish the 25 other vendor thank you cards that need to be handwritten
3. Finalize a venue for an upcoming project I'm working on (More details to follow shortly)
4. Prepare for our initial consultation this evening
Four of my guiltiest pleasures:
1. Jeans. It's an obsession. I own over 200 pair.
2. Reality TV
3. Blog surfing
4. My son. Even at 16 months he's already turning away from all of the "kisses" mommy likes to share.
Four random facts about me:
1. I have a phobia of deer. I'm not quite sure what started it but Bambi is not my friend.
2. I love to travel
3. I've purchased 4 cars in the last 2 years
4. I haven't been to a wedding as a GUEST in over a year.
Now I have to tag four other people:
Kelly McWilliams of Weddings by Socialites
Andria Lewis of Andria Lewis Events
Shayna of Williamsburg Wedding Design
Leslie of Leslie-Manning Events
You're up!

Monday
Why not?
I'll admit, I'm a bit "nontraditional". My taste...a little outside the norm.
When I think of Bridesmaids, not only do I feel there is a need to find attire that compliments each individual silhouette, I often wonder, who made it a rule that bridal party members HAD to carry flowers?
Seriously. I'd much rather walk down the aisle flaunting one of these babies:

Practical. Pretty. "Floral" like. Why not?
Surely won't see these left on the table at the end of the night!

Friday
The Wedding Salon
It's that time of year again! The Wedding Salon is hosting their annual showcase on October 22, 2008 at the Prince George's Ballroom in my hometown, New York City. If you've never been, it's certainly an experience unlike any other. Surround yourself with amazing vendors, local favorites and possibly a celebrity or two (I met the fabulous Sylvia Weinstock who complimented me on my clutch purse! Needless to say it is now hanging as a "favorite" on my wall).
If you're considering going certainly let me know. See you there!
