I received this e-mail today and wanted to share. Love the look of this! This was in a Feb issue of Instyle weddings issue...
"You’ve selected your wedding venue, china pattern, and honeymoon spot, but there’s still a significant decision awaiting you: your monogram. Don’t underestimate this task, because customization is key to a memorable affair. If you’re still searching for the perfect design, head over to Marry Monograms (marrymonograms.com) where there are more than 200 options to choose from, whether your taste is casual or sophisticated. And then, once you’ve decided on a design, there’s so much to put your stamp on from stationery to tote bags. Oh, and now wine!
Tag your favorite wines from Northwest Cellars (northwestcellars.com) with a personalized label. Pouring a glass of 2004 Merlot is much more novel when the bottle reads “Rachel and Ben: August 14, 2010.” Pair a stippled monogram with a bottle of Northwest Cellars’ 2006 Chardonnay and you can’t go wrong!
—Randy Miller, Editorial Assistant

I had a lovely lunch today at the Highland Country Club. I was thrilled to be invited in to see the venue. They are now available for booking a limited number of events to non members. They are offering a great price in it's a terrific location, just minutes from downtown. They can do cocktails out on the terrace overlooking a lovely green. They also have geogeous traditional dark wood chairs or brand new chairvari chairs in white or gold! I can't wait to book a wedding there. There are having an open house on April 25th. (Thanks Christy for the nice meal and the nice company!)
How fast a week can pass by! How did that happen with me posted one blog entry. I do blame facebook a bit for taking more of my time and just the beautiful weather and out with family and friends. Since I posted last, I have had dinner with a wonderful friend, had a boy, girl party at my home for my 13 year old (and survied) attended a super cool vendor appreciation party at the Hilton Netherland Plaza (check out this pic, compliments of Mansion Hill, of Sally- an eee staffer dressed full 80's style, the theme of the event- sorry Sally couldn't help myself).
I went to dinner at the Chart House for a family birthday dinner, was interviewed by a lovely college student for a class she is taking (never met her before the interview but did end up knowing her parents...small world) and went to a wedding-as a guest! Did a bit of last minute coordinating just coz and completely enjoyed myself dancing and catching up with old friends. Can't forget a few EEE meetings with clients! It's great when life is full. I am happy to have family, friends and clients that I soooo enjoy spending time with. I love what I do! Thank you to all that contributed to a wonderfully full week for me and EEE.
I had the privilege to speak to a group of local wedding professional this past week at a Perfect Wedding Guide Luncheon at the Marquise. McHale's Catering had invited me to speak a few months ago and I was happy to accept. I was asked to speak on industry trends and to talk a bit on the role of a wedding planner. I enjoyed the opportunity. I met some nice people too. Thanks to Jack at PWG and to McHales Catering!

I love this idea. I got this picture from freezeframeit.com.
A friend of mine told me about it. (Thanks Aimee) Someone she know had her bouquet made into a neckless and loved them. There a few different companies offering this service.
What a great idea for preserving your wedding bouquet flowers.

For those brides planning to mail their weddng invitations in the spring, note the US Post Office plans to increase the price of a postage stamp. The price is to go from 42 cents to 44 cents on May 11th. So if you have already bought your love stamps, better mail your invitations before the price goes up.
