She’s coming out of the wedding blog closet: Our Mystery Wedding Expert Unveiled

by

Ever wonder why you see a lot of this bride and groom on the blog?

Well,  here’s your answer: that’s me, Dinah, and my husband Stephen on our wedding day in Palm Springs.  I have been writing the My Little Flower Shop blog since February, 2011. In this shot, I’m holding my gorgeous bouquet, clearly, the My Little Flower Shop team knocked it out of the park.

My job with the blog is to help all who read it get in the game.  Getting married? This is a great source of inspiration, practical advice and laughs on your road down the aisle. Starting your own wedding business or blog? Why not stay inside the head of a successful small business in a U.S. destination wedding-heaven resort community?  Enjoy slightly corny special event humor? You definitely have found the right place.

Beyond My Little Flower Shop, my experience ranges from writing etiquette advice at Wedding Channel.com, to helping coordinate celebrity weddings for Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Carmen Electra, Robert Wagner and Dustin Hoffman.  Most importantly, I was a bride – just a year ago.  I know how it feels from both sides, and can share that unique view of the crazy, beautiful world of weddings, flowers and high end special events.

So I’m taking the blog first person.  What do you want to read about?  How can I help you? Write me!  MyLittleFlowerShopPS@gmail.com  Let’s hit it out of the park.

More soon!

Put your hands in the air! You and your Florist are going to Rock this Wedding!

by
Are students raising their hands distracting? One English school thinks so. Now they have to give a “thumbs up” if they know an answer in class. Parents think this is pretty goofy and that their kids look like The Fonz all day long.  (Remember Happy Days? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller)?
Whatever the hand signal, the kids are still involved, and demonstrating enthusiasm. Enthusiasm, when it comes to planning any event, especially a wedding, is key from everyone involved, especially the people creating your wedding flowers. No one should be blase about the most important day of your life – especially if you are paying them to perform a service.
Look for a specialty high end flower shop (Like My Little Flower Shop in Palm Springs, of course, but if you are in other parts of the country, call! We can guide you to the best florists). If you’re having a Palm Springs destination wedding, your florist should know the best Coachella Valley wedding vendors so as to refer you. Most important: your florist must be ENTHUSIASTIC about you, your wedding and your beautiful flowers. Make sure they get to know you and listen to your needs, wishes and wildest dreams, and don’t just hand you a list of prices.
To sum up, make any florist, in Palm Springs or elsewhere, raise their hand! You’re the one who gets to give the thumbs up. (And we know you’d give it to My Little Flower Shop …come visit)!
An inspired bouquet. Let us inspire you!

What could be worse on your honeymoon than finding out you’ve arrived at your destination in the middle of a country wide labor strike? or flu epidemic? Well, Hills and her team at the State Department, in addition to headband shopping and making sure no one touches the Indian Prime Minister with their left hand, have put together a great resource for all honeymooners and other vacation-taking Americans. The Travel Advisory website will alert you to where the Government really thinks you should avoid.  And though they mess a lot up in Washington these days, when they say skip the Kenyan safari right now, ignore the cheap tickets and listen. They don’t make the warnings lightly.

As for Hillary’s other honeymoon advice, no matter how well she says pant-suits travel, leave them at home, k?
