Inspiration: Recycled Film Rolls

How cool is this? These are recycled fill canister invitations. This is an easy DIY that any bride can do ... and it's easy on the wallet!






I love how they wrote the date & data on the side of the canister!

Inspiration: Hi-Boy Centerpiece

One of my pet peeves as a wedding coordinator is when there are cocktail tables with beautiful linens, and the only think that sits on top of them are votive candles. Sure they are pretty, but, there should always be something else on the table to liven it up a bit. Here is a GREAT option that uses a martini glass. It gives it just enough to create a modern & sophisticated look that is easy on the budget as well :)

Winter Wedding Gala 2011

This past weekend was the Mid-MO Wedding Connection's Winter Wedding Gala. Say that 10 times fast. This year it was held at the Parkade Center in Columbia, Missouri. We were able to set up for the most part on Saturday night, and did the majority of decorating Sunday morning. Overall we were pleased with the turnout of brides. It's always fun to learn the details of their wedding. However, I CAN'T wait to debut our new logo, which says "Event Planning" because everyone thought we were wedding decorators :) I guess I'll take that as a compliment! Thank you SO much for all the brides that came out to support their local vendors. It was truly a pleasure getting to know each and every one of you!

Winter Wedding Gala Booth ...













the cocktail tables, white linens & LED lights were provided by A1 Party & Event Rentals. Be sure to check them out for all of your renal needs ... they have it all! Look for BIG changes in The Bridal Solution in 2011 ... I just can't wait!


Happy Planning!

Inspiration: Floral Savors

Go ahead ... take a guess ... what kind of flowers do you think they are...








what if I told you they were carnations? Yep, my jaw dropped too! I bet you didn't know carnations could look so good! Now I am the first person to admit that I would not be caught dead with carnations in my flower arrangements ... but now ... if you do it right ... they could like these. Talk about beautiful!

I my opinion, I LOVE when brides use just one type of flower. Something about the simplicity can make carnations, or even baby's breath look elegant. Check out my blog posts about baby's breath here and here.

Here's to saving money!

2011 Bridal Spectacular

What a great turnout we had at this years Bridal Spectacular. It was The Bridal Solution's first year there, and it did not disappoint! Before I go any further, I just have to say a big THANK YOU to some people who made all of this possible ...

THANK YOU to Victoria Bridal for being so supportive and persistent. It's because of this amazing bridal salon that I was able to do this show at the end of the day!

And a HUGE THANK YOU to all the brides and grooms who came out this weekend and supported their local vendors. It was truly a pleasure getting to know each and every one of you. I can't express how honored I feel that some of you have chosen The Bridal Solution to be apart of your special day. I can't wait to share those memories with you.









This weekend was a little different as I shared a booth with Simply Elegant Wedding and Event Planning, LLC. Stephanie and I created "The Bridal Network" and it worked out really well. I think some people were a little confused, but ultimately we were able to get the point across that wedding coordinators are extremely important when it comes to planning and executing your wedding. We really just wanted to reach out and let brides know that we can save them time, money & energy!

Hope those of you who could not make it out to the Bridal Spectacular will be able to come to the Mid-Mo Wedding Connection Bridal Show this coming Sunday!

Happy Planning!
