No Good Wedding Shows On TV? (Psst- Your Best Option May Be on The Channel Of Life)

There’s nothing on TV, and yet you find yourself sitting on the sofa flipping through the channels.  Let me throw some metaphysical theory at you. Maybe the universe is telling you “Hey! Go do something else already!”  Whether you’re planning a wedding or not, keep an eye out for hints that you’re not using your time in the best way. Not that the best way is always sorting place cards or organizing bookshelves.  Sometimes a bubble bath is just what the doctor ordered.

 

Be well, and love well.

Little girls have big wedding dreams and unlimited imaginations.  Now look at that from a different perspective. You want the person designing your wedding to have…big wedding dreams and unlimited imaginations. Hey, look! In-house wedding planners unfettered by budget or reality! Let them tell you all their thoughts and dreams and stories. And when the wild dream of a cotton candy dress becomes a cotton candy cart at the reception, you’ll know who to thank. With a big fat ball of cotton candy

Be well, and love well.

Making Sense of Scents At Your Wedding

What should your wedding smell like? Designers sometimes sell clients on setting the mood with scent. I remember a demonstration by a company that made diffusers giant enough to fill a sound stage with one of their pre-packaged concoctions: cotton candy for circus themed event, and – heaven help us- they even tried to recreate florals.  The air at the premiere party of “The Last Samurai” was supposed to be tinged with a hint of cherry blossoms.  Instead, guests kept asking “what’s that terrible smell?”  The planner needed no coaxing to shut off the machine.

Sakura of Fukushima-e (福島江のサクラ)Long story short?  Don’t let your details get so detailed they pull focus from the reason why everyone’s there.  That’s to see you get married!

 

Live well, and love well.
