Who Is It For?

This Inspiration Board book was written for the Wedding Planner, Event Planner, and Designer just starting out that doesn't know how to create an Inspiration Board. This book can be applied to the veteran planner or designer that has never used an Inspiration Board before. This book can help the Planner's who create Inspiration Boards already, but would like to have a good read on a topic that is very present in today's Wedding & Event Planning Industry! 

Not only is this book for the Wedding Professionals, but Brides can benefit from reading it as well. A Bride that is more hands-on and would like to gather her thoughts and ideas to portray her vision clearly to her Wedding Planner, Designer, and/or other vendors; this book will give her the skills to do so!

5 Stress-Free Tips for Planning a Wedding or Event!!!

 Planning a Wedding or Event is so much fun! There are so many fun details. You have food, music, attire, stationery, transportation, decor, guests and so, so, so much more. However, thinking about all the many fun details can give anyone a big stressed out headache.

When planing a beautiful beyond dreams Wedding or Event you want to be sure you follow these 5 stress-free planning tips. These tips are simple to remember and will save you a lifetime of headaches throughout the process!! 

(Don't look like this on Wedding or Event Day! lol)

5 Stress-Free Tips for Planning a Wedding or Event!

#1: Remember Why!

#2: Make it Personal!

#3: Honesty is Healthy!

#4: Don't Invite the Country!

#5: Let It Go and Enjoy!

#1 Remember Why: Remember why you chose to have the Wedding or Event in the first place. Don't get so caught up in the "fancy" of planning that you forget why you are truly celebrating. This always brings you back down and allows you to enjoy and create fun planning memories.

#2 Make It Personal: Making it personal means adding YOU into your Wedding or Event. Allow guests to see your personality shine through. This is one definite way to make your special occasion unique and original. Whether it is customized stickers, drink or a special video, etc. Insert a part of you into your Wedding or Event that your guests can connect with!! **Customization does not always mean expensive, shop around!**

#3 Honesty Is Healthy: Be honest with yourself. If you cannot afford it, if you don't like him/her, if you know in your heart it is not right....DO NOT buy it, include him/her..don't do it! This is simple..happiness comes with honesty. Be honest about your budget and feelings when planning. Don't hold back, but don't be rude and obnoxious either. Just be honest with yourself and others and I guarantee you will feel calm throughout the process.

#4 Don't Invite the Country: Only invite who you actually want to invite. The more people you invite = the more money you will spend. Weddings are more money because that's their nature. However, the same goes for a great event. It costs money and it costs to have 100, 200, 300+ guests. Invite people you love. Take into consideration others feelings when inviting people. Take everything into consideration, don't invite the country and treat others how you want to be treated!

#5 Let It Go and Enjoy: Just let it go and truly enjoy the process! Hire a Wedding Planner or Event Planner if you know you don't handle organization well and really allow yourself to enjoy. On Wedding Day..just simply let it go. The day goes by too fast to breakdown about what wasn't. Same for Event Day..allow yourself to be the guest of honor and not the host/hostess! Dance, Eat, Laugh, Cry (tears of joy), jump in all the pics you can and just have a good time!!! 

--- BONUS TIP ---

**LAUGH**

Laughter is the best way to turn any stressful situation into a good memory!

{{ Wedding Dress Shopping: 4 Ways to Have Fun!!! }}

Throughout my years of planning Weddings and working with other Planners, I've had the pleasure of going dress shopping with a few Brides. I find wedding dress shopping to be one of the most exciting and fun parts of planning the Wedding. Enjoy these 4 ways to have a fun wedding dress shopping experience!!

(She really loved the first dress she tried on! Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC 1st Bride, Mrs. Jennifer Robinson!)

 {{ Wedding Dress Shopping: 4 Ways to Have Fun!!! }}

#1: Only take people with you that will give you positive critiques! (When shopping we like others opinions, at the same time we only like opinions that are given in a positive matter. When wedding dress shopping this way of thinking is increased by 100!! Take people that will lift you up and NOT tear you down. Those who on a daily basis that you have a conversation with that always talks negatively or brings others down is the exact person you need to leave at home. Tip #1 is crucial because it will reflect on your outlook and effect your mood. A critique is as simple as (#1: That shape does not flatter you.) which is different from (#2: That shape makes you look fat.). Critique #1 is a honest opinion that will help you and make you think, however, critique #2 is harmful towards your feelings and will probably make you cry. Take only positive people with you that will inspire you and make you laugh, smile and ultimately have fun!!! )

#2: Have an idea (and possibly a book of pictures) of what you want AND be open minded! (There are many, many styles out there and before you make an appointment, know or have an idea of the style, shape, etc of the dress. Do you love sparkle {maybe a Ballgown?}, are you modest {pick an A-line style), if you love fitted dresses {a Mermaid silhouette may fit you best!}. Knowing the different kinds of dresses or at least being able to show pictures of what you may desire..will allow your consultant at the dress shop to be able to narrow down what you want a lot easier and make the process a lot more enjoyable and memorable!!)

<--- (She tried on other dresses too. Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC 1st Bride, Mrs. Jennifer Robinson)

#3: Be prepared to NOT find the perfect dress at your 1st or 2nd wedding dress shopping appointment AND be prepared if YOU DO fall in love with the first dress you try on! (This is all about your thought process and knowing that wedding dress shopping is about knowing who you are and listening to your heart. Be open minded and enjoy the process. Listen to the advice of others that you brought with you and listen to your heart. Any woman that has went shopping, knows how it feels when you try on those jeans and they fit in all the right places...take "that feeling" with you! Don't force this feeling, but just enjoy, have fun and allow the experience to move you!)

#4: Grab a bite to eat and discuss! (Food makes any experience exciting! Enjoying great food and being able to sit down and discuss the wedding dress shopping is a nice way to ease whatever emotions you may be experiencing before going home. If you found "the one" and took pictures, enjoy looking at them again and discuss accessories and just enjoy the moment!! If you did not find "the one", take this time to gather your emotions, discuss the different styles you tried on and together as a group share. Talk about life, friendship and any other topic that makes you happy and laugh!! :-D)

(She got dress #1, she was head over heels in LOVE!! Mrs. Jennifer Robinson, Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC 1st Bride showing off the dress for her Bridal Party!)

Following these 4 tips will allow your Wedding Dress shopping experience to be enjoyable and fun! Take a great group of people and truly enjoy, laugh, eat some good food and make it a memorable experience!! :-D

Welcome to Monday...the beginning of the work week for many. Monday is a day where the weekend has either been so wonderful or so drag that you just don't want to leave the house to get your Monday started. For this we all need some Monday Inspiration, something that can carry us throughout the day, the week and even the start of a new month!! 

Today I want to inspire you to seek out your purpose in life. Each person was born with a destiny, created to do something special. God gave you passion, a gift that you do with ease.

And did you sit and listen for an answer? Find a quiet place and really seek and find what you should be doing in life.

Write down your thoughts in a journal if it helps and start living the life that was meant for you to live. Follow the dream God placed on your heart and make a difference in the world!! 

Be Inspired!

A 2012 Party "Must-Have": The Dessert Buffet!!!

Who doesn't love a great party?? Parties are so much fun!! You have great music, yummy food, unusual dancing, family & friends and most importantly an eye-googly, mouth watering dessert buffet!!! Displaying your dessert spread out along the table on the original platters they came in are long gone.

Amy Atlas Halloween Dessert Buffet

Dessert Buffets

The creativity of what you can do with a dessert buffet is totally endless!! Desserts are fun enough all by themselves, but when you create a scene that they get to live in and truly get to be featured in; it makes eating them much more exciting. 

How to Create A Dessert Buffet:

• 1 long table (For the desserts of course! ;-D)
• Cool or fancy colorful or themed-related table cloth. (This can be rented or you can visit the craft store and find something amazing or just look around your own house!!)
• Backdrop (Can use fabric, tissue paper balls, wrapping paper, etc..get creative!)
• An amazing centerpiece!! (A wow factor that will suck in your guests. Usually placed in the center of the table...can be food related.) 
• Props!! (Bring in props that match the theme and can be space-fillers for areas that need an accent.)
• Various sized jars, plates, bowls. (Basically anything your desserts can sit on or in..again get creative!)
• Labels! (This is important because guest like to know what their about to eat.)
• The Desserts!!! (Pre-cut, easy to pick up kind of desserts! Or "dressed up" utensils to pick up items.)

  

Ice Cream Cone by Tori Spelling

Dessert Buffet Tips To Remember:  

Place your desserts on your fabulously decorated dessert table and create levels with the various jars. Height allows the eye to move throughout the table and makes those about to dig in, very excited!! 

Don't over stack your dessert plate because you don't want the items to fall over. You want to create clean lines and allow your buffet to appear neat since you already have a big scene going on.

Lastly, keep an eye on the dessert buffet so you can restock throughout the party!

Oh and lastly-lastly, make sure you enjoy the dessert buffet too!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Have fun! Get creative!

Wedding Diets "Do Not" Include Feeding Tubes!!!

Hello! If you noticed there was no Wednesday blog post and well that's because we moved it to Thursday! Hope you don't mind and you do continue to keep reading!! 

Now onto a very, very, very important & serious issue!!! 

"Brides using a feeding tube to lose 20 pounds in 10 days???"

This is NOT okay, at all, never! 

Dear Brides,

Please know that you ARE beautiful. Your fiance is marrying you because he also knows that you ARE beautiful inside and out. Dieting is a tricky road to enter and most times require a plan that is kept up for a long duration (way longer than 10 days). Know that your Wedding Day, which is uber important, special and one of a kind; is one day! Your marriage however; which is the reason for Wedding Day, is meant to last for years and years and years!!! Do not endanger your body to loose weight, get fit or be in the best shape. 

Brides, know that there is a healthier way to look and feel your best on Wedding Day. Create a 3 month plan that involves: eating the 5 food groups and in proportioned sized and an exercise plan that you can do at least 3 days out of the week. Everyone's body is different and needs to have a plan that fits their body type and lifestyle. Do this plan with your Groom and/or Bridal party. Get others involved and make it fun!!

I do hope that you know you ARE beautiful and this "feeding tube diet" is NOT the way to go!

Sincerely,

A Concerned Wedding Planner! :-(

P.S. Diets this extreme have harsh side effects. Be Careful!! ;-)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dear Groom & Supporting Family Members,

Pay attention to your beautiful Bride. Assure her and reassure her that she is beautiful inside and out. If she desires to get more fit for Wedding Day, guide her to a healthy path this will not endanger her life! There are times to mind our business and there are times to be nosey when it comes to family. This is a time to be nosey, ask questions and step in!!! 

Dieting, again is a tricky road to go down. A support team is suggested to keep the Bride motivated and focused. Over dieting, exercising, etc is not healthy. Help your Bride stick to her plan. Offer to run or walk with her...Cook healthy meals together, etc. Most importantly: GET INVOLVED!! This "feeding tube diet" is bound to take a life, let it not be your Bride's life! 

Wedding Planning is stressful and as woman we tend to be way to hard on ourselves when it comes to our image. Let her know she is beautiful. Be nosey..she will thank you for it later! :-)

Sincerely,

Your Wedding Planner Friend! :-D

UrDreamPlanner's Monday Inspiration!

Hello Monday!!!

It is Monday my dear blogger readers. I am happy to see another day and looking forward to what this week brings. Today I want to inspire you to "be supportive" of your peers. Jealousy is an evil trait to take on and it's just not healthy! 

I want you you to be supportive by liking a friends status, leaving a comment, retweeting a tweet, sharing a great story, making a purchase from a small business, etc. As a community of bloggers and blog readers you can be supportive by commenting and sharing your fellow bloggers blog's.

Set a goal to comment on a certain amount of blog post a week. Every week change it up and find some new blogs to comment on. Keep the rotation going and check back in on your fellow peers. It can be 3 blogs or 10...set a realistic goal that you can stick too! Being supportive makes that person feel good and makes you feel good too!! 

Don't steal, SHARE!!! 

Give credit where credit is due...if you don't it will bite you hard in the behind and bite's hurt! 

Sharing is caring! 

Be supportive and have a great week!! :-D

Talk To Me:

How supportive of you of your peers? Do you share their work? Does your peers share your work? How does it make you feel? Share any good or bad experiences you have about sharing. Looking forward to chatting with you!! :-D

3 Steps to Wedding Planning Fun!!!

Wedding Planning should be FUN! Plain and simple. Yes, planning such an important and special occasion comes with the normal headaches and stress risers however and overall, planning your wedding should have fun involved!

So let's talk about how to have FUN while planning your wedding!

Fun Means: Action or speech that provides amusement or arouses laughter. Fun usually implies laughter or gaiety but may imply merely a lack of serious or ulterior purpose. (Found via: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fun).

3 Steps to Wedding Planning Fun:

Step 1: Be honest about your wedding budget and accept it! (Honesty and accepting the budget you can spend is step one because from this point on you know what you can and cannot afford. Being in denial and planning the wedding of your dreams do not go hand in hand. Once you accept your budget you will give yourself a peace of mind and really get to enjoy the fun of planning the wedding of your dreams. Do not by all means compare your wedding to another couples. You two are you, you make a great couple because of who the two of you are. Television is great..I love watching the wedding shows, but your wedding is special and unique because you found your soul mate and get to enjoy happily ever after. When making purchases stick to your budget and I guarantee it will make the process a lot more fun! If you need help figuring out your budget..Hire a Planner (even if just for a 3 or 4 hour consultation to get you on the right track!))

Step 2: Select people to be in your Bridal Party that you actually "LIKE"! ("Like" is the key word here. You can love someone because they are family, but if you don't like them..they will drive you insane!!!! Select people that you can stand to be around..that make you smile..that make you laugh. Select people that know your personality, know how to calm you down, know how to not make you upset. Whether you have a year of planning, 6 months of planning, more or less...you will spend time with the people in your Bridal Party..even if just on wedding day (which is 10+ hours). So if you want to have fun..choose wisely!) 

Step 3: Laugh and make it an adventure! (Laughing is crucial when planning a wedding. Wedding Planning IS stressful, I don't care what anyone tells you. However, Wedding Planning does not have to be a stress factor in your life. You are getting married and this is something to celebrate not cry about. Smile and laugh and joke and have fun. When things go wrong..breathe and just laugh. I am so serious..it will make you feel crazy but it will make you feel better and this will make Wedding Day much easier because you have learned to handle the stress of wedding planning by not allowing it to over take you. Then, on Wedding Day if something goes wrong..you will look at it differently and your reaction will be much better! Don't believe me, email me and I will let you speak to one of my brides! Don't sweat the small stuff..remember why you are getting married and enjoy the process!!)

Follow these 3 steps and you will have a lot more fun planning your dream wedding! If planning your wedding has not been fun, then sit down and rethink what is happening. If you're not having fun, then you need to do something different because it should be fun!

Laugh, Smile and Have FUN!!! :-D

UrDreamPlanner's Monday Inspiration!

It's Monday! Time for us to get inspired and motivated about our future!! When you envision a plan, whether it be big or small you must do something to make it happen. When one door closes another door or window will open and allow for the continuation of your plan!

www.thatonerule.com

Today I want to inspire you to Keep It Going! Don't allow doubt, people, objects, etc. to stop you from completing your goal. I know my followers or those reading this may believe in a different God or no God at all or just may believe in Jesus Christ. None the less, the owner of this blog is a God fearing woman and I thank Jesus Christ for being my inspiration and motivation. Knowing that Jesus is there for me and if I rely on Him, my dreams will work out according to His plan for me! That right there is inspiring enough to keep me going! What about you?

Yesterday, I realized that taking the short cut is no longer going to work. Now I wasn't cutting corners to the point of where I wasn't giving it my all, but at the same time I was taking a lot of short cuts. I know now that if I want this to be successful I am going to have to put in the money and more money (LOL) to make this big dream of mine a reality! I had begun to feel defeated last night after I ran into a road block on a project I am working on but I thank God for bringing people into my life that can make the impossible...possible! Now I have to Keep It Going!!!

Be Inspired! Be Motivated! Keep It Going!

Wishing you all a Happy Monday! :-D

Talk To Me:

What inspires you when you hit a road block and feel like giving up? Who do you call on to uplift you? Do you have supportive ppl in you life that can help keep you on track? Share your challenges and how you overcame/ are overcoming them! Share your success stories! Would love to chat with you so leave a comment below! :-D

:: Our Decor & Design Journey: Pictures & Videos! #BBDllc ::

This year Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC has started to branch more into the decor and design aspect of planning amazing Weddings & Special Events, which we LOVE so much!!! My team & I has had several opportunities to put our decor skills to the test! Check out what my team & I have been up to this year so far as we begin our decor & design journey!!

Our Design Journey has Begun...

"Rustic Romance"

First up, Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC was presented with the opportunity to do a Designers Showcase at The Imperia in Somerset, NJ in early February! One of the design themes I pitched was "Rustic Romance"(we did the wine bottles side)! My team & I had a blast setting up at this event. Check out the video to see some snippets of our work, which are displayed within the first few minutes of the video!! :-D

The design concept for this theme came when I started collecting my roommates wine bottles..from there the theme was born!

"Easter Candy Buffet" 

Our next project that we came across was for a candy buffet company. Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC loves to do candy buffets. I love the look of them, the themes you can create and more. This candy buffet was one of our first and something that was not the norm, perhaps that's why I loved it so much. It was different and not something you would see at a typical Wedding or Event. So check out this inspiration board and enjoy! Pictures taken by Kareem Taylor!

We didn't get accepted for this project, but I am very happy I had the experience and would really love for all the candy buffets I do to be this detailed!! I really loved creating this candy buffet!! :-D

"20's Fundraising Gala" 

Finally, but definitely not the last design project was for a friend of mine. This young lady is apart of a group called the Junior Women's Club of Haddonfield. I was asked if I could participate by doing some 1920's decor. These ladies wanted simple, but elegant. Just little touches that would really enhance the room!! The ladies reaction to entering the room was awesome, it sure made me smile!! The candles really added to the ambiance and they came all dolled up in their 1920's outfits. The fundraising gala, which benefited The Valerie Fund an organization that helps children with cancer and blood disorders was a big success for them! My team & I was happy to play a small part in it all!! :-D

Since I cannot figure out the embed code, please click the link to check out this video to see just how successful this event was!

UrDreamPlanner's Monday Inspiration!

  This past weekend I attended The EPIC Summit (will blog about that later this week!!). This event truly was EPIC!! I was so inspired by so many things shared by all of the amazing speakers and panelist. During one of my sessions I was told to watch Steve Jobs Commencement Speech, which I hadn't before. So I did!

If you haven't watched this, watch it!  If you have watched this before, watch it again!!

Love this speech because it's so inspiring. Life takes us through so much and through it all you have to push through and do what you love so you can make a difference in this world!


No matter what you go through in life, do what you love!
