Wedding Centerpiece Peace Of Mind

One day, a bride arrived at My Little Flower Shop in complete panic mode. People were asking about her wedding centerpieces, and everyone was horrified to learn that (gasp!) she had no earthly idea.

Her mother had obviously watched too many Katherine Heigel movies about girls longing for the big day, and having detailed plans worked out in their heads. The rest of the craziness making this poor girl feel underprepared must have been a combination of pressure from the bridal magazines, wedding shows, and probably well-meaning friends and family just wanting to feel like they are a part of things.

But here’s the point: if you don’t know what you want…that’s ok. You’ll still have a beautiful wedding. As you settle in to the role of “bride-to-be” you’ll find inspiration all over the place. Hotel lobbies, elegant department stores, anywhere you like the “feel” of, get that phone out and snap a few photos. Soon enough you’ll have an idea of what you love, and what you hate.

So resist the idea that you must know, right away exactly what everything will look like. Let it go, and embrace some Wedding centerpiece Peace of Mind

Wedding Warriors Mixer De Mayo!

Wedding Warriors, our favorite networking group for wedding professionals has scheduled their next Monthly Mixer – The Mixer De Mayo! And any shindig they throw that’s 3 days before Cinco De Mayo is definitely going to rock the cantina. In this case the cantina is photographer, Mellany Miller‘s studio and the showroom of TE Couture Linen who certainly rock the tabletop with their beautiful linens.  Wondering who the heck are the Wedding Warriors? Here’s how I described it last month.

“As you can tell from the name, we’re a little more rock-and-roll than your average consortium of bridal professionals. Boiled down, our mission is to educate, to build relationships with other business people, and to give back to the community. In practice, we come together to learn from each other about the business climate in the wide variety of communities that make up our region – and the best ways for small businesses to survive and thrive.  We enjoy each other’s company at some HOT parties (these are not your Mama’s COC meetings)! And last, we raise money at each of our events for a community charity. Funds raised at our April 4 gathering will benefit the music department at Palm Springs High School.”

One thing I didn’t mention is our whole “making dreams come true” department.  Oprah does this, but we’re doing it as a team of vendors, which is way cooler IMHO. We’ve given away a Dream Wedding, and will soon be giving away a Teenage Dream party – either a Sweet 16 or a Quinceanera.  So we Wedding Warriors really do fight for the right to party – even for those who might not be able to afford it.

Curious? Think your business could benefit from some wedding knowledge? Come to our Mixer De Mayo!  RSVP today!
