Fashionable Tales of a CIncinnati Wedding Planner

Elegant Events and Little Black Book

Week before last Elegant Event by Elisa was invited to advertise in Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book.  A very lovely invitation!  And it is by invitation only so that's pretty cool. I love Abby's blog and it's amazing to think that she has read me.   Style Me Pretty has been on my favorites list for ever and I do thing her Little Black Book is a cool concept.  When I first checked it after my invite, there was no one adverttising in Cincinnati area, now there are few vendors listed now so I assume a few of us got lucky.  I am flattered for the invitation and I am considering it.  I really haven't been advertising for a few years now but I do love this blogging craze and like the idea of supporting someone who has been leading the way for many of us wedding bloggers for quite awhile. Thanks, Style Me Pretty! (see listed my my favorites section)

Best Wedding Blog! Elegant Events is listed

Elegant Events has been listed in Best Wedding Blogs!  Pretty cool to receive this recognition. (Thanks for the submission...)

So tired but so worth it!

Another amazing weddding under Elegant Events wedding!  BUT what I want to say is what an amaxing team I am so blessed to work with.  I am humbled when I think of how hard they work, how loyal they are and truly how blessed I am to have them both professionally and personally.  Yesterday, they wen above and beyond!  Thanks so much guys!  You made it happen!

I am so tired but it is so worth it.  When you see Dad walk her down the aisle or here his toast!  When you see her face and the placce is filled with so much love.  How lucky am I to be apart of such moments in peoples lives.

Well, now I am off to Bowling Green KY.  One of my members there has her Grand Opening of her new Chapel this afternoon and she has asked me to share this moment with her.  Long drive but again so worth it.  These moments are what keeps life full.

Fabuous Bridal a perfect match for one of my new favorite brides

She called me this afternoon with her voice so full of excitement and joy..."I found my dress!  I found my dress!"  We had just met the morning and I knew she had an appointment with Fabulous Bridal this afternoon.  I had told her about the boutique last week.  She said it was the 1st gown she tried on.  She of course tried on another dozen or so but kept coming back to the very 1st one!  I got goosebumps just hearing her and just loved that she shared the moment with me.  (You're a real gem, Traci!  I can't wait to see a picture.)  These little moments are what make all the details, the responsibilities and actual hard work all worth it!  I am so blessing to love what I do...

Client sends update baby pic!!!

Can't tell you I much that means to me.  (She is so adorable...thanks Cara!)  I won't post her pic but wish I could.  It's just so terrific to hear from past clients, to see their family grow.  What little blessings.  Hold on to them tight...the years go so fast.  Love every minute with them.  Like I always say I am so blessed to have found my passions in my life...my brides  ( usually 16-20 a year) and my babies (now 12 and 15) and depending on the season who gets the most of my attendtion.

Ideal Bite

I got this e-mail from Ideal Bite today and they always have great ideas...but this was one I thought I would share with all those couples about to travel oon their honeymoons or whomever may be flying out for vacation s this summer.  * Elegant Events tip...try not to book a flight where you have to fly out the next day especially the next morning.  Sleep in, Snuggle, breakfast in bed and then open gifts with family and friends later in the day.  Leave Monday or if it has to be a Sunday...even the next one.)

"Less than aroused by the thought of your upcoming redeye flight?
The Bite
Not if you join our club. A few lux eco-accessories, such as a neck pillow or bit o' lotion should help you relax - even if you're stuck in coach between a crying kid and some dude who keeps taking bathroom breaks in tandem with the girl across the aisle.

The Benefits
Getting comfy up high. Even if you don't get complimentary champagne and a personal TV, you can still travel in style.
Less eco-baggage. Per mile, plane travel creates more pollution than driving; opting for eco-travel goods helps offset this...a little.
Healthier globetrotters. The FDA doesn't regulate the ingredients of most personal-care products, so stick to ones that use body-friendly ingredients.
Personally Speaking
To combat the dry, stale air on planes Heather brings a mini-mister - and takes care not to shoot anyone else in the face when she uses it.
