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

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)!

My Little Relationships Shop: Friends Help Friends Find Love

As a newly engaged person, people will want help finding love’s golden ticket. You’ll need tips for those who ask, “How did you do it? How do I find someone?”  Here are our best 5.  Your most stubborn friends may actually listen for once – that’s the power of the ring.

1.  Get out of the house.  Your true love will not magically fall into your apartment. Get out in the world, and do things you enjoy. Check out “Meetup.Com.” In Palm Springs alone there are groups for bowling, swing dancing, and a “booze-n’books” club.  People watching at a café works too (provided you eventually engage with some of your watchees). Just say no to TiVo.

2.  Be open to all avenues. It’s a numbers game, so don’t write off the online sites because they’re non-traditional.  Ask around – chances are you know married couples who’ve met on e-harmony, Match.com and/or Jdate. Don’t want to pay? Check out the 100% free PlentyOfFish.com.

3.  Don’t be so picky.  Relax on the “musts.” Does your new house have every single thing you dreamed of? No. Same goes for people. At worst, it’s an hour at Starbucks with a weirdo, with the silver lining of a great story to tell. At best, it’s lifelong happiness. Do you really want to leave that on the table because of your laundry list of requirements?

4. Say “yes.”  Make a practice of letting other people’s ideas work for you. Fix me up? Yes! Come camping for the weekend? Yes!  Learn to play the drums? Yes! The adage is “everything happens for a reason,” but really it starts by you choosing to let it happen. Do you want to fall in love? Yes!

5.  The Universal Three Foot Rule.  Let the universe know that you want to bring someone into your life.  Put it out there as a positive thought.  Then, tell everyone within three feet of you.  Everybody knows somebody – and somebody knows who’s holding your golden ticket.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend, and luck in love!

Our blog is the “Featured Blog” at the moment under the “Event Planning” tag on WordPress.  Not sure how they work that, or how long it will last, but to quote Elvis, who honeymooned in Palm Springs  “Thank you, thankyouverymuch.”(the Elvis Honeymoon House is a cool event venue, you should take a look) No more boasting.  At least before noon. 😛  http://en.wordpress.com/tag/event-planning/
