2 Rules You Must Apply When Contacting #Wedding Vendors!!

Happy #WeddingWednesday!! Today's post is short & sweet, hope you enjoy!!





When searching for Wedding Vendors here are two rules you should always apply:
  1. Honesty: Be honest about your wedding budget! (Wedding Vendors are not here to just simply raise the prices because you have decided to say "I Do'!! There is more work that goes into planning the wedding that happens pre and post wedding day that is the reasoning behind the price difference from a party or special event. Honesty is key!)
  2.  Communication: Communicate if you wish to "not" use their services! (Calling a vendor and asking important questions is key to finding the perfect vendor; it's a crucial must. It is also very important that you call or email each vendor back to let them know that you have found a perfect match and that it is not them. If calling seems hard, a simple 3 liner email will do it justice. Leave a smiley face at the end and keep it nice. I guarantee wedding vendors will appreciate it!)
**Memo to Vendors**: When potential clients call or email you back that you didn't make the cut, be sure to replay back in a positive way! Couples have a ton of choices to choose from and all that should matter at the end of the day is that, that potential client will have a wedding vendor there to provide them a service! So be polite and wish them a successful Wedding Day.


Talk To Me:
Do you find it hard to tell wedding vendor your wedding budget? Why or Why Not? Do you find it hard to tell wedding vendors that you do not want to use their services? Why or Why Not? Are you married or planning your wedding? If so, how did you tell the other vendors that you do not need their services? Share your story and comments below in the comment section! Would love to chat with you! :-D

"Pin It" at Your Own Risk!


Pinterest...today's post is about Pinterest!! I was sucked into Pinterest about a month back..it did take me a long time before I jumped on the train and checked out all that it has to offer. Pinterest provides a place of sharing pics that you love and want others to see and enjoy!! It's really an awesome place to be apart of.

Recently it was brought to the light that Pinterest has become or "has always been" a "Pin It At Your Own Risk" kind of sight. Many of you, like myself did not read the fine print. Well, it is so important that we as Wedding Pros, Brides, Grooms, fashion gurus, Moms and Pinterest lovers around the world must read the fine print. A photog created a post giving the details of why she deleted her Pinterest Account. This post is definitely a must read because she really breaks down the legal meaning so you can make your "Pin It at your own risk" decision on your own.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Here are a few other great post to educate you on the whole pinning legality discussion:

So take the time to read and truly educate yourself on this important discussion. 

As for me and my Pinterest..I have not decided to delete my account, but I am going to take the time to delete some boards and make sure I am sticking to the rules!! I stopped pinning for about 2 weeks or so because of this and last night I started again. I am "pinning at my own risk", but trying to make sure I follow all the rules while doing so! 

So read, read and read so more and decide if you will be "pinning at your own risk" or simply deleting your account!

What do you think about this news? Do you have a Pinterest? Did you delete or keep your Pinterest board? What are you doing to not break the law? Share any tips or comments below! :-)

It's Leap Day Ladies! Will You Be Proposing??

It's Leap Day, meaning that there are 366 days this year instead of the normal 365. Leap Year happens every 4 years. Leap Year comes with many traditions, however; there is one that many couples who have yet to be engaged may find exciting or scary.


Leap Day is a day where women are "allowed" to propose to men and are not looked at as being strange. I find this tradition rather cool. Tradition says that the ladies may pop the question, however if her love does not say YES, he must buy her 12 pair of gloves that she can wear so she will not walk around embarrassed that she has no ring.

Pros of Leap Day:
  • Ladies you get to pick the ring so you know you will love it!!
  • You get to create the dream proposal that you always wanted!
  • You get to make your guy feel super special by proposing to him!

Cons of Leap Day:
  • He just may say no.
  • You get 12 pairs of gloves. (This could be a pro as well!)
  • You have to now wait until he proposes to you.

Things to consider before taking the Leap:
  • Does this tradition fit your relationship?
  • Will your guy be happy or sad that you decided to propose?
  • Will you truly be happy that you decided to propose?
 ****************

So I find this Leap Day tradition to be rather interesting. I think that if your bold enough and you know that your man will say YES, then by all means ladies get down on one knee and pop the question!!! Otherwise, at least you will have 12 pairs of beautiful new gloves, which I guess isn't a bad trade off, right?? lol

It's Leap Day ladies, so get the asking!! 
Did you "pop the question" and he said "YES"!!

Then contact Beautiful Beyond Dreams, LLC to provide you with an awesome wedding planning experience!! Fellas, share your "Leap Day Proposal" with us and get 12% Off Any Wedding Package!!
The 12% Off represents the 12 pair of gloves you didn't have to buy.  ;-)


Talk To Me:
Do you plan on proposing ladies? Fellas would you be happy if your girl proposed? Thoughts on this tradition? Share your stories in the comments section below!! :-)
