We are doing a special presentation featuring VINTAGE GLAM from our favorite florist Donna Smith, with <a href="http://www.outofthegarden.com/">Out of the Garden</a>! We adore this popular wedding trend and are excited to unveil our 'vintage glam' booth to inspire your own wedding design ideas! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bridal shows can be stressful, intimidating, and overwhelming. Who needs added stress when you are planning one of the most important days of your life! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our mission at <a href="http://www.bride-associates.com/">Bride Associates</a> is to Make Planning Simple. With a little help from us and some preparation, Bridal Shows can be exciting and enjoyable. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are just a few tips to help you navigate through the bridal show and have a great shopping experience! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>1. Set Up a Wedding Email Account- In the early stages of wedding planning, consider setting up a wedding email account through a free online email service, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail. Not only will it be convenient to receive all wedding-related communication through one account, but it will be helpful in keeping your regular email free of unsolicited email. <br />
<br />
2. Print Address Labels At Home- Most vendors at bridal shows want to collect your information. Save yourself time and writer's cramp by printing up address labels at home prior to arriving. Some wedding expos offer this service when you arrive, but coming prepared will save you money,. Each label should have the names of both the bride and groom; the preferred mailing address information should be sent to, the wedding email account, phone number, and your wedding date. <br />
<br />
3. DO wear comfortable shoes- Bridal shows are normally all day and run one day or over a weekend. You’d want to be comfortable so you can focus more on those you are meeting rather than your feet that are screaming at you. This will help you move quickly and easily from booth to booth!<br />
<br />
4. DO make a list of what you are looking for- Are you in need of a florist? Do you need a cake? How about linens? Going into the bridal show with a game plan eliminates wasted time with vendors that you are not in need of. You’re also able to spend more quality time with those vendors that you do need. <br />
<br />
5. DO take notes and business cards – By doing this, you can match business cards with notes that you took from their booth. Organization is key and it’ll help you determine which vendor are right for you.<br />
<br />
6. DON’T forget to bring people with you- Bring your mom, your fiance if he’s willing, your BFF or all three! Having people with you gives you a support system and it also helps you with decisions that you might not be able to make on your own.<br />
<br />
7. DO set up appointments and consultations – If you click with a vendor immediately upon meeting, that’s a good thing! Set up a meeting with them so you can have more one on one time with them to see if they can meet your needs regarding your wedding. Bring your appointment book so you can stay organized and on top of the appointments.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Bridal shows are there to give you resources and give you insight on your ideals. Use them to your advantage and have a blast doing so!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we have so many things to be grateful for. To all of our family, friends, brides and vendors, from all of us at <a href="http://www.bride-associates.com/">Bride Associates</a>, we wish you and your family a blessed and restful Thanksgiving. May you cherish your family and friends and take time to be thankful for all that you have and for all that is to come. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Psalm 9:1 </em></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

We know that wedding planning can be stressful and we love this post about her recent planning experiences! As a Bride we know you an relate! Here is just a sneak peak: <br />
<br />
<em>Clayton and I are thrilled about getting married, but the wedding planning has been another story. For the past three months we have been on a roller coaster of emotions. On some days, planning the wedding actually feels like torture, self inflicted pain that is undesirable and yet somehow necessary. Here is a sneak peak into the chronicle of our quest with my unique prospective of being a wedding planner thrown in the mix. We hope it is entertaining to people other than ourselves and that we don’t end up eloping or killing each other in the process. </em><br />

On top of our daily craziness, there are three of us at the <a href="http://www.bride-associates.com/">Bride Associates</a> office that are getting married! My wedding planning journey so far has been a roller coaster ride. In an attempt to relieve some of my amazing staff and friends from having to deal with probably the worst bride ever (yes! I admit it) and in an effort to share the wedding details with my brides, friends and family I have started a blog.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.weddingdazeblog.com/">Wedding Daze</a> is a blog about a wedding planner’s journey as a bride. Join me and a few of the other <a href="http://www.bride-associates.com/">Bride Associates</a> wedding planners as we venture into the ever glamorous, extremely important, detail oriented process of planning ‘the big day’ all while attempting to maintain our sanity, have a blast and marry the man of dreams!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149555380393500881.post-46557230404546450352010-07-30T19:07:00.003-05:002010-07-30T19:13:18.271-05:00Bridal Show Tips, Do’s and Don’tsBridal shows can be stressful, intimidating, and overwhelming. Who needs that when you’re already planning one of the most important days you’ll ever experience?! Well, we are here to tell you that with a little help and preparation, it can also be fun, exciting, and enjoyable. YEAH! Just what a bride needs in her life. Follow these tips, and you’ll be well on your way to having a great experience all the while finding one or all of your vendors for your special day!<br />
<br />
<strong>Set Up a Wedding Email Account-</strong> In the early stages of wedding planning, consider setting up a wedding email account through a free online email service, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail. Not only will it be convenient to receive all wedding-related communication through one account, but it will be helpful in keeping your regular email free of unsolicited email. <br />
<br />
<strong>Print Address Labels At Home-</strong> Most vendors at bridal shows want to collect your information. Save yourself time and writer's cramp by printing up address labels at home prior to arriving. Some wedding expos offer this service when you arrive, but coming prepared will save you money, too. Each label should have the names of both the bride and groom; the preferred mailing address information should be sent to, the wedding email account, phone number, and your wedding date. <br />
<br />
<strong>DO wear comfortable shoes-</strong> Bridal shows are normally all day and run one day or over a weekend. You’d want to be comfortable so you can focus more on those you are meeting rather than your feet that are screaming at you. This will help you move quickly and easily from booth to booth!<br />
<br />
<strong>DO make a list of what you are looking for-</strong> Are you in need of a florist? Do you need a cake? How about linens? Going into the bridal show with a game plan eliminates wasted time with vendors that you are not in need of. You’re also able to spend more quality time with those vendors that you do need. <br />
<br />
<strong>DO take notes and business cards –</strong> By doing this, you can match business cards with notes that you took from their booth. Organization is key and it’ll help you determine which vendor are right for you.<br />
<br />
<strong>DON’T forget to bring people with you-</strong> Bring your mom, your fiancé if he’s willing, your BFF or all three! Having people with you gives you a support system and it also helps you with decisions that you might not be able to make on your own.<br />
<br />
<strong>DO set up appointments and consolations –</strong> If you click with a vendor immediately upon meeting, that’s a good thing! Set up a meeting with them so you can have more one on one time with them to see if they can meet your needs regarding your wedding. Bring your appointment book so you can stay organized and on top of the appointments.<br />
<br />
Bridal shows are there to give you resources and give you insight on your ideals. Use them to your advantage and have a blast doing so!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149555380393500881.post-47845554424261900632010-07-05T08:00:00.001-05:002010-07-05T08:00:11.657-05:00To Veil or NOT to Veil…..<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEjXzs7a8FY/TC4gAlklQfI/AAAAAAAABJg/BKkkzVD8e20/s1600/SITC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEjXzs7a8FY/TC4gAlklQfI/AAAAAAAABJg/BKkkzVD8e20/s320/SITC.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Wedding day accessories are a unique and fun way to express your own individual style and personality. The wedding veil has come a long way over the years and we are starting to see more and more Brides choose veils that are more their personality! <br />
<br />
One Bride-friend made the statement: “I don’t like my veil…I wish I didn’t have to wear one but my friends and my mother all think I need to.” After some thought, she chose a vintage flower headpiece that fit her wedding and her personality and she was happy!<br />
<br />
Choose a veil or go with some form of hair accessory, it’s totally up to you! Your choice should match your style, and the theme of your wedding. Are you a traditional bride having a traditional wedding or are you a modern Bride? Are you wanting drama and flare like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City? These are important questions to ask yourself before you decide. Then go ahead and express yourself accordingly!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Top 5 Reasons We Believe the Mother of the Bride Should Hire a <a href="http://www.bride-associates.com/">Wedding Planner</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">5. Because this is one of those moments in life where you are surrounded by the most important people in your life and the last thing you should be worrying about are if the vendors arrived on time, the favors were put on the table, and if all the details have been handled. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div>4. Because the end of the night comes too fast and the last thing you want to do at Midnight is to move gifts, put up vases, and supervise vendor cleanup. With those tired feet you want to be the one with your heels off sipping the last glass of champagne!<br />
<br />
3. Because the term 'momzilla' actually exsists. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">2. Because you still want a relationship with your daughter after the wedding. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1. And the most important reason is that the only thing you should worry about is whether your makeup smears when you hug the bride! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEjXzs7a8FY/S71BIyHtboI/AAAAAAAABC4/1eLyJBkZW3A/s1600/father-bride-movie-04_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" nt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UEjXzs7a8FY/S71BIyHtboI/AAAAAAAABC4/1eLyJBkZW3A/s400/father-bride-movie-04_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">Don't take our word for it!

At our monthly staff meetings we invite a new vendor each month to educate us on their services and products. This month we were hosted by <a href="http://www.outofthegardencreations.com/">Out of the Garden</a> and they treated us to an amazing evening at their shop! The entire staff at <a href="http://www.outofthegardencreations.com/">Out of the Garden</a> welcomed us along with Lisa and Chef Andrew from <a href="http://www.tastefullyours.com/">Tastefully Yours</a>, Ruben Reynoso, owner of <a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/res7d47z/elwinechateau/">El Wine Chateau</a>, and Laura Kelsey with <a href="http://www.celebrationeventrental.com/">Celebration Event Rentals</a>. <br />
<br />
We started the evening with a tour of wines from Ruben with <a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/res7d47z/elwinechateau/">El Wine Chateau</a>. He gave us a sampling of a variety of different wines and educated us on their region and how they paired with different foods.<br />
<br />
Chef Andrew with <a href="http://www.tastefullyours.com/">Tastefully Yours</a> created us an amazing display of melt in your mouth food. The ingredients he uses are all fresh and the quality is top notch. I think our favorite were the mango and brie quesadillas! Yummy! <br />

You cant help but feel overwhelmed by the beauty and the aroma. They have a inventory of unique antiques and other creative props that allow brides create a unique setting for the wedding. They are truly a special find and the service they offer each bride is only one of the many reasons that you should bring a bride to them! They make each bride feel special and just like their brides they treated us to a fantatic evening and gave us fun spring goody bags to take home with us! <br />

It is inherently sweet, the love of a father as he gives "<em>Daddy's Little Princess</em>" to her new husband. Heart-warming and heart-breaking at the same time. Thats why you want the song to be representative of the relationship between you and your father. We recently came across "Walk With You" by Edwin McCain, and let me tell you.... this song will make you cry! <br />
<br />
You can get your free download <a href="http://edwinmccainwalkwithyou.bandcamp.com/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<em>"Walk With You "</em><br />
<br />
<em>I’ll take this slow sweet walk with you </em><br />
<em>You’ll let go of my hand to say “I do” </em><br />
<em>He will discover just how blessed a life can be </em><br />
<em>I know ‘cause all those years ago someone handed you to me </em><br />
<em>Every step that we take brings back the memories </em><br />
<em>Winter snows and horse shows and dancing on the beach </em><br />
<em>I can’t help thinking that I’m the lucky one </em><br />
<em>You’re still my baby daughter and now I’ve gained a son </em><br />
<em>I’ll take this slow sweet walk with you </em><br />
<em>You’ll let go of my hand to say “I do” </em><br />
<em>He will discover just how blessed a life can be </em><br />
<em>I know ‘cause all those years ago your mom handed you to me </em><br />
<em>Don’t miss a chance to put each other first </em><br />
<em>Now that you’ve vowed for better or for worse </em><br />
<em>Don’t let the beauty of this life pass you by </em><br />
<em>In the times of trouble you’ll stand side by side </em><br />
<em>I’ll take this slow sweet walk with you </em><br />
<em>You’ll let go of my hand to say ” I do” </em><br />
<em>I picture a slow sweet walk yet to be </em><br />
<em>When you’ll take my hand and say “Daddy come see” </em><br />
<em>Then you’ll know what it felt like </em><br />
<em>You won’t believe what it feels like </em><br />
<em>Then you’ll know what it felt like when she handed you to me. </em><br />
<em>She handed you to me</em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149555380393500881.post-36442252562109833062010-04-12T22:58:00.002-05:002010-04-12T23:03:41.240-05:00Backy and JohnWe were thrilled to work with Becky and John in planning their wedding! They truely are one of the cutest and happiest couples we've had the pleasure of working with! <br />
<br />
The ceremony was held at the <a href="http://www.lenapopehome.org/About-Us/Marty_Leonard_Community_Chapel/Marty_Leonard_Chapel.aspx">Marty Leonard Chapel</a> in Fort Worth, while the reception took place later that evening at the <a href="http://northdallas.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp">Hyatt North Dallas</a>. The couple wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather- so they went to the Fort Worth Japanese Tea Gardens, as well as the Botantical Gardens for pictures between ceremony and reception.<br />
