Ask the Experts Seminar

March 26th, 2010

Our Ask the Experts seminar was a huge success.  We once again held this event at the beautiful Umstead Hotel & Spa.  Kate & Rachael Price of Tre Bella Gowns & flowers spoke about how to choose the right gown for your shape.  Who to bring with you to look at gowns, the formality of the wedding dictating the choice of gown.  Rachael addressed the flowers.  What to bring with you to the initial interview with florists and how to incorporate the “look” you want to achieve.

Kristine Dittmer and Mel Nathanson of Kristine Dittmer Photography spoke about what to look for in choosing the wedding photographer.  They explained what real “photojournalism” means versus the fact that is now a “buzz” word that doesn’t necessarily mean the photographer is a photojournalist.

I spoke about how to go about choosing your wedding planner as well as addressing some of the most frequently asked wedding etiquette questions.

We ended with a drawing for some wonderful items ~ including wedding planning books, etiquette books, floral arrangements from Tre Bella.

A very informative evening and we have received very positive feedback.

Look for our next seminar ~ date to be determined.

Ask the Experts Seminar

March 2nd, 2010

I just returned from a much needed break in my hectic life.  While I love every minute of planning weddings, everyone needs to re-charge their batteries so as not to “burn out”.

Now that I am back. I want to tell you more about our seminar.  We have Tre Bella participating.  The 3 Price sisters have created two businesses ~ wedding gowns and flowers.  At our seminar, they will discuss choosing the gown.  They are the only bridal boutique in the state to feature Melissa Sweet and Priscilla of Boston.  Once the gown is chosen, how does the bride decide on design for flowers?  Rachael Price will discuss flowers and show examples of how to create a “look” that will carry through the entire event.  There will be gowns to look at as well as samples of wedding flower arrangements for your reception. Bring your questions, as we will have a Q&A after each presentation and also at the end of the event.  We are also having some interesting door prizes so bring a business card too.

Please sign up as soon as possible as space is limited and only pre-registered guests will be able to attend.

Looking forward to an informative event ~
