It's Okay To Be Picky!

This post is for the Engaged Couples who are in the searching process for vendors!

Congratulations! You are now engaged, hopefully you have had time to celebrate your engagement by having a party with family & friends. If not, do so..enjoy the bubbly moments.

You've set the date! September 23, 2011 and now you have begun calling every Wedding Planner, Photographer, Venue, Caterer, Dj, & other vendors in your desired location. You have went online and left quotes on almost every website so you can be able to compare prices and see what would be best for your wedding day!

I applaud you for doing your research and not going with the first vendor that has smiled big at you and said here is a discount~ I see you are looking for quality and professionalism for your special day!

A great tip that I would like to leave with you is:

"It's okay to be picky, but call back!"

Being sure you have the best of the best is important, however every business you contact is a business and once you inquire about their services, unless you call back and say never mind..they may call you again to check in once or twice! We like to call it Customer Service! We appreciate your interest and do understand that we will not book every prospective client who we come in contact with! So with that being said, an innocent 5 minute courtesy call or email will do the job letting us know if you have decided to go in another direction!

Happy Planning!

Are You Original?

Thanks to my Wedding Wire family I discovered how to make my Facebook Fanpage url customized. 

Having a customized url is very important. You want people to be able to find you quickly and not have to type in 6 letters, 5 numbers, a smiley face, and more to find you! 

I love originality so this is just what I have been looking for, for my business facebook page!

Find Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC on Facebook by typing:

http://www.facebook.com/BeautifulBeyondDreamsLLC

The Process!

The process is quite simple:

1. Go to: http://www.facebook.com/username

2. Type in a customized url and check if it is available, if it is press submit!

3. Make sure you read clearly because once you hit submit there is no going back!

I love my business page Facebook url that I am thinking about creating one for my personal page. 

I love being original!

It Cost How Much! Part 2

Creating the Decor Wedding Look was my favorite! Having such a strong passion for designing, I like to look at things upside down sometimes. Upside down? Yes, I like to look at things and see how I can make it different or create a similar look for less and sometimes that means turning it upside down to figure it out!

The Decor Wedding Look came from a few different angles of inspiration. I love pearls, so that had to be incorporated and I feel that weddings should always have a lot of candles, even more than what I used! The colors of the linens(which I picked first and built the look around it, and the clear glass plates!

My favorite part of this design was taking different size glass pieces from inside my kitchen and putting them together. For this look we purchased the 4 glass plates, a silverware set, & the linens, everything else we own & found in the kitchen!! 

Total cost for the Decor Wedding Look was $14.00

Take a look below to learn about some of the glass pieces we used!

In this centerpiece we have a large china bowl, a glass vase, an upside down cake holder, & 7 dessert bowls

This white & silver set is my family china that has been passed down through many generations, and it still makes a mark!

The first look we created was the Party Decor Look!

The thought process behind this look was bold colors but blending colors. As a planner I am always pulling from inspiration. This look was inspired by the plates! 

We brought 4 yellow designed plates, a set of silverware, & the linens; everything else we own & found around the house. 

The total cost of the Party Decor Look equaled: $13.50
