Listen close: GET A WEDDING PLANNER!!!!!

And here's benefits of having a wedding planner:
Planners can SAVE you money.
We look over contracts to get all that you deserve from vendors.

We have a numerous contacts to get the best deals. More than likely the planner has worked or researched all the florists, venues, djs, and other vendors and can give you client reviews.

Brides can get wrapped up in things like how pretty a venue is or deciding which dish to serve for dinner. On the other hand the planner is sizing up the venue from parking spaces to how the tables should be set up to seat guests comfortably.

I know that brides have their wedding all dreamed up in their heads but when it comes down to hard details, its always great to have someone who knows the wedding industry to lend a helping hand. So don't be shy search around and find a wedding planner near you. Trust me you won't regret it!!!!

Every girl dreams of being a princess and having a fairy tale wedding. Kate Middleton is living the dream! Invitations have been sent, the date is marked, and its all about the fashion. Finding the perfect dress can either be exhilarating and fulfilling or a downright cat fight between comfort and fashion.

Here are some tips from The Veiled Rose to Kate and you on finding the dress that brings tears (of happiness) strolling down rosy cheeks.

Cost: Figure out how much your budget allows for the dream dress. Don't set a strict price but give yourself a limit, with a tiny bit of wiggle room.

Style: Choose a style that makes the most of your natural assets and down plays the things you consider your flaws. Do what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful, because girl you are so BEAUTIFUL.

Fabric: Pick the fabric that matches the season. The dress should match your overall theme of the wedding. It can be very hard planning a wedding around the dress and you don't want your dress to be misplaced.Take into consideration where your wedding is. If you are doing an beach wedding go for a lighter material that breathes with the wind.

Remember its your dream day, have fun with it!

Sweet Tips for your Reception and After Party

Put a sweet twist on your reception or after party.

During the reception cut the cake before dinner so that it can be served as desert and everyone will get a slice, this will also save you money because you won’t have to pay for a desert.

As the reception is winding down have the wait staff pass bite sized deserts on silver trays and have a coffee station with coffee, tea, milk and hot chocolate. This will also get guests up and socializing maybe even back out on the dance floor keeping your party going to the very end.

At the after party greet your guests with a glass of champagne or your signature drink and have wait staff pass bite sized deserts.

During the after party you should serve some type of food. If you don’t want to pay for a full meal you can offer shrimp cocktail in a shot glass, French fries in mini Chinese takeout boxes and bite size hamburgers

The newest trend is now the candy bar. A candy bar can be very economical and can replace the guest favor. Guests can fill small bags or boxes with their favorite candy and take it home for a late night treat. Candy bars are fun for everyone and can be coordinated into your chosen décor or theme.
