Capries Wedding & Social Events

It has been an amazing summer of weddings, travel, parties, some more travel and blissful days spent with family and friends.  What have I not been doing? Blogging ! Bad I know, but in an effort to spend more time in the great outdoors I tried to disconnect from the web as much as possible.  In the next few days I will be posting some real weddings that have happened so far this season.

So excited to host this Wedding Industry Tweet Up on March 31, 2010 !

Twitter has been one of those social network tools that though I had a hard time embracing is a unique and practically mandatory tool in this age.

I have met so many amazing people and have learned so much about my own business and connected with so many  of  my peers in the wedding/event planning industry

that I thought it would be a great idea to host a Tweet Up ( A Twitter meeting otherwise known as a Mixer) !

So many people I talk to during the day but have never meet in person ! Taking the cyber connection to a face to face connection is really important in developing working relationships.

Did I mention City Sweets is providing samples of her delicious cupcakes ?

Aack ! Even I am excited for this one ! Makes me want to get married all over again !

The Announcement

All entries must be in by 11:59 pm CST on March 31, 2010. Couples are encouraged to run their own marketing campaigns, as the 50 finalists will be those with the most votes.

We will notify the lucky couple and the 18 other winners and post all winners on crateandbarrel.com/ultimatewedding in April 2010.

The Celebration

The planning will begin once the announcement is made. Gartin will be at your beck and call to bring your Ultimate Wedding to life, from designing invitations, choosing a locale, and setting the scene to creating a menu, picking a band, and coming up with favors.

So last night I was in power work mode and starting going through all of my things I love files and came across this Christian Oth (Shot by Michael Falco) wedding featured on Style me Pretty.  I seriously started daydreaming and got lost in the images.  I loved it months ago and fell in love with it all over again !  The design was so vibrant and beautiful I could not stop looking at them.

Check out the link above for parts II and III !

Loved !
