My First Blog Entry!
















I'm pretty excited to FINALLY be creating a blog......something I've known I needed to do for a long time! Now that the snow has melted a little and the school buses are running, my oldest son is in kindergarten, my youngest is napping and I have a little time to post!

I was thrilled to hear that one of my couples, Lara and Dan Berkemeyer are a featured wedding in the Winter 2009 edition of The Knot. Check it out if you can! Their guests walked into a winter wonderland of white.......white hydrangeas, roses and icicles hanging from centerpiece arrangements done by Kevin Ford of Ford Ellington Florist, not to mention a beautiful white cake decked out in snowflakes. They had a perfect day and the weather actually cooperated with them too! Everyone was somewhat comfortable during the outdoor shots while in the middle of January. Crazy Cincinnati weather we have here.

A 1 1/2 to 2 hour timeline meeting typically kicks off

A Venue Coordinator vs. A Wedding Coordinator

Unfortunately, things haven't changed much in the wedding industry regarding the confusion between a venue coordinator and a wedding coordinator. Couples still seem very confused between these two roles and end up not hiring a wedding coordinator after speaking with their venue. Their day ends up in disappointment because they assumed they would have that one, key person to go to and rely on for their entire wedding day. Instead, they have to wait until they walk through their venue doors to receive some coordination by their venue coordinator or banquet captain, who's primary responsibility is to the get the meal out on time and at an ideal temperature.

Ask if they will be w

Consider these aspects when creating your wedding guest list

With all of the many things that go into planning a wedding, it can slip your mind to plan your wedding guest list. Of course you are going to make a list of everyone that you would like to invite to your big, but actually planning your wedding guest list is much more than that.
