Wedding Bouquet and Flower Arch, Oh My

Pick a wedding bouquet and strike a pose!

I had the best time last Sunday with Team Nashville at the Pink Bride Bridal Show. Vicki imagined an amazing flower arch and brides could have their choice of wedding bouquet to pose with. Along with Jodie and Alicia, I climbed up the ladder and we made it happen.

The brides had a ball with all the different styles and shapes of bouquets to pick from. Most of these lovelies had never held a real brides bouquet before and for many a Mom in attendance, it was that “OMG, this is really happening” moment. As you can see, the bespoke garden style bouquet was the definite favorite with the Nashville brides.

Are You Thinking About Your Company Christmas Party?

by

I know it’s only August, but your Company Christmas Party is closer than you think.

Here’s why you need to start moving on it now…

There are only 3 Fridays and 4 Saturdays before Christmas in December 2018. Since Christmas is on Tuesday, there is a good chance a lot of your guests may be leaving town on Friday the 21st and making a real holiday out of it.  That effectively cuts those available prime company party dates down to 2 Fridays and 3 Saturdays. So you have 5 nights, more companies in the Chicago region than you can count, and a limited number of venues that are both cool and in your budget. Are you starting to see my point?

At the very least, you need to start thinking about what kind of company party you want to have.

If you are having your company Christmas party off-site, start looking at venues now so you can get one locked in before the rush starts.

If you are having your corporate party in-house, you need to start thinking about all the vendors that you will need to make it a fabulous party. You see, it isn’t only the venues that will book up quickly. December is a crazy month for most event vendors from DJ’s to caterers to florists. A party with bad food and no entertainment isn’t much of a party, and who wants a table without a little something pretty and festive as a centerpiece?

Don't let this be your centerpiece for your company party

 

You don’t want your party to look like this, do you? This is from a Company Christmas party I went to last year. It just made me sad.
