Friday, March 12th, 2010

Today’s wedding tip comes from my Kate Parker Wedding vendor, Parrott Design Studio!  Rhode Island wedding paper products, Parrott Design Studio, shared a great expert advice article on my Kate Parker Wedding about the importance of wedding programs.  Check out this great tip from the article and visit the full expert advice from Parrott Design Studio at my Kate Parker Wedding.

Wedding programs allow your guests to follow the ceremony, understand what is happening & why, & it is a keepsake of the day.  Programs come in all shapes & sizes & there is no set format on what your program should look like.  It should work for you & your ceremony & reflect you as a couple.  The key “ingredients” for a program include: your full names, wedding date, city, state, & location of the ceremony, the order of the wedding ceremony including musical selections & the composers & performers, the readings, the source or author, & the readers, wedding party names & their relation to you, your officiant’s name, a thank you note to your parents & guests, & a brief explanation of traditions, rituals, & ethic customs for both religious & secular ceremonies.  You may also wish to honor those who have passed or could not join you by including a memorial.

Wedding Tip of the Day by Joya Beauty

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Today’s wedding tip comes from an expert advice article featured on my Kate Parker Wedding by Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire wedding beauty, Joya Beauty.  Check out this great wedding tip below on getting vitamin C skin treatments before the wedding.

Joya Beauty

One Week Before the Big Day:

Consider a lovely Vitamin C treatment to make your skin smooth and glowing.  Treat yourself and your party, especially the Moms, to a treatment for minimizing those fine lines (our Collagen Blanket). At this point, you need help relaxing during this hectic week.  We’ll include a facial massage to reduce puffy skin caused by lack of sleep, the salty foods and those late night parties.  We will also do your complimentary brow shaping – the final touch to your wedding day look.

Wedding Tip of the Day by Lasso’d Moon Designs

Today’s wedding tip is from Carey Bunker of Lasso’d Moon Designs!  Carey wrote a great expert advice article on my Kate Parker Wedding and she shares some info about the pricing of wedding stationery.  Check out her little tip and visit the full expert advice article on my Kate Parker Wedding.

Lasso'd Moon Designs

One of the most common questions or concerns I tend to hear about in the wedding industry is why does this cost so much? And while that seems to be asked of every wedding service, I’d like to address the cost of custom stationery and invitations.  When you order a custom invitation, your stationer isn’t taking a stock design, dropping in your wording and shipping them off to a printer. Typically, there is an in person meeting if you are close in geography, a flurry of e-mails, rounds of proofs and perhaps a number of phone conversations or in person meetings. This doesn’t even take into account the time your designer might spend on creating or altering graphics to suit your particular wants. So before you even get to printing, your designer could be any where from 3-10 hours into your project.

Wedding Tip of the Day by Lely Co Events

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Todays wedding tip is from Lely Co Events!  Lely Co Events posted a great expert advice article on my Kate Parker Wedding about personalizing your wedding with a unique display.  Check out her tip below and view the full expert advice article on my Kate Parker Wedding!

Unique Display

We did a wedding in St. John USVI last year that had a great late night snack display. Two tables…one with sliders and vintage Coca-Cola bottles for the “party animals”… a second table with cookies and cartons of milk for the “sleepy heads”… The guests loved it and were taking pictures of the display and of each other with the snacks!  Such a fun touch!  This is a great opportunity for an added personalize touch– be creative! Think about interesting ways to display snacks, favors, etc for your guests!
