Movie Inspired Wedding

As promised, here are more photos from the 2012 Special Events Show.

I had the opportunity to visit the Wedding Gallery where various designers come together to create different wedding concepts and designs meant to inspire attendees of the conference.

This particular showcase in the gallery was named "The Spirit of Adventure" and was headed by A Magical Affair along with Beth's Boquet's, Connie Duglin Linens, Designs in Paper, Music City Tents and Events, Nashville Audio Visual and Sweetface Cakes.

The theme was inspired by the Disney movie "Up" and the program read:
 "Join us as we step into an inspiring love story of colorful palettes, homespun accents, sweet sentiments, and magical departures! Our event design team cordially invites you to step "Up" and into a cozy front porch ceremony, a whimsical garden reception, and an adventurous departure. So won't you let your imagination soar as we take you "Up" and away into our beautiful balloon?"

Now how's that for creativity! ;-)

This is what it is all about... carefully infusing your theme through all of the various elements of your event while staying clear from "cheesy". Additionally, this theme could easily be used for a birthday party, baby shower, bon voyage party, wedding shower, etc.

This was definitely a job well done!

Your Very Own Treasure Map

In an e-mail I read this morning from Suzi Tozier, she spoke about creating your own Treasure Map. I am soooo doing this project over the next week and I am extremely excited about it....May all of your dreams come true!!! - Arlene

"Do you have a treasure map yet? A treasure map is a pictorial representation of things you want in your life. You cut out pictures and words and make a collage that you look at every day. Your subconscious works at bringing these things into your life. I’ve never been on a cruise before so I put a picture of a cruise ship on my treasure map. I just won the Executive Award as Sales Specialist at Brunswick and guess what the prize is – Yes! a fabulous cruise in March and then to top it off, my family was invited to be guests on a cruise for my cousin’s Bar Mitzvah in April. Two cruises in consecutive months. Thank you treasure map!

Here is your challenge. What is on your treasure map that we can help you get? Who do you want to meet? How can we help you meet your goals? Who would change your life if you had the chance to connect? Let’s work together, help each other, and increase our business through relationships formed in this group. Let’s be here for each other, to teach, learn, and share. Have a fabulous week and I wish each of everything on your treasure map.
Love ya,
Suzi

Spring Is In The Air

In Fall of 2011, I had the opportunity to coordinate a photo shoot for some of Orlando's finest wedding professionals with the mission of creating a Winter and Spring Wedding Concept in the beautiful and modern Heaven Event Center here in Orlando, Florida. In less than two weeks the vendors, concepts, and designs were pulled together and the results were nothing short of amazing.

The Winter themed photos are published in the current issue of Central Florida Bride, page 90-91 (Be sure to check us out!!!!). We will be sure to feature more of those photos in another post, but for now, please enjoy this sneak peak from our Spring themed shoot.
