Hey all! During our downtime from being out and about we are going to catch up on our blogging!

Y'all know we don't do a ton of mitzvahs...but when we met Josie and her family there was no doubt that we wanted to involved.  They are such a close, loving, down to earth family.  Josie and her brother are incredibly talented dancers  (we will see on them on stage and tv one day for sure)!  

Josie, her parents and her brother were so much fun!  And during the planning process it was so amazing to watch how much Josie grew into herself...truly becoming a young woman.

Hi Out there!  It's been a hot minute since we blogged.  But we have some gorgeousness to share with you today! 

Karina and Matt had a romantic and elegant wedding at the amazing Boca Resort.  It was such an honor to be involved in their wedding day...and they are two of the NICEST people you will ever meet.  We loved their inter-faith ceremony and how the combined the faiths of both families.  The dancefloor was jamming all night because Rock with U was in the house!  And the decor by Xquisite Events was the perfect combination of romantic and elegant!

Happy 2019!!

 We are excited to see what the new year brings! So many people got engaged over the holidays but now you are thinking...Holy Cow, what do I do now!

It seems like all of the sudden everyone is asking you things like

• "When is the Wedding" 
• "What is Your Theme"  
• "Who is in the Wedding"  
• "Can I Bring a Date"
• "I Have a Friend who is a ______ (Photographer, baker, officiant, florist, etc)"  
• "I Have 15 Dietary Restrictions...that won't be a problem will it"

So the first thing to do is take a deep breath...this will all be ok.  Here are some reminders and Top 10 things to do 

• Enjoy the Moments - Being engaged is special, take the time to stare at your ring for hours, flip through wedding magazines, and dare I say it, spend time on Pinterest (just don't get sucked into the Pinterest vortex!)
• Decide on things you like and don't like - find your style.  

Don't forget Date Nights and Exercise!

And most important of all...

Remember why you are doing all of this...to celebrate your love and commitment to each other!

Here are our Top 10 things to do now that you are engaged.

1.  Decide what kind of wedding you want - Destination Wedding, Formal Wedding, Casual Wedding at the Beach, Something Rustic, Something Classic

2.  If you don't live near your families, decide where you will hold the wedding.

3.  Have an open, honest conversation with both families about any money they be contributing to the wedding, what costs you are expected to cover, how you are to use funds contributed by your families.  This one is hard and stressful...but better to get it out in the open and avoid conflict later on down the line.

4.  Start you guest list - Be realistic - if you haven't spoken with, emailed or seen these people in over a year - seriously think about whether they need to be invited - this includes distant family. And remember the size of the venue you select will impact the size of the guest list.

5.  Decide what time of year you want to get married - know the busy times of year in your area, check for popular dates, dates that are important to your family (birthdays, milestones, etc), holidays, festival dates (in West Palm - Sunfest, BoatShow, Tree Lighting, etc).

6.  Choose your wedding party - and no, you don't have to have the same number of bridesmaids and groomsmen and yes, you can have bridesmen and groomsladies.

7.  Select your venue.  But don't visit more than 2-3 venues in one day.  It's overwhelming, confusing and tiring.

8.  Get your engagement ring appraised and insured.  This one isn't fun but it is necessary!

9.  Start refining your budget by category.

10.  HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER!!! No matter what level of planning you hire (full planning, partial planning, month of coordination) you have just hired someone to give you Peace of Mind and you can't put a pricetag on that item!

At Fabuluxe Events we have 3 Different Levels of Planning.  Our goal is for you and you family to feel like guests at your own wedding.  When you hire us you are buying peace of mind!

Happy Planning!

One of the great things about being a wedding planner is that we get to see incredible, amazing wedding dresses all the time.  We get to see traditional dresses, ballgowns, mermaid styles, dresses with sleeves, dresses with lace, short dresses and long dresses.  So we thought we would share 3 more of our favorite designers...enjoy! 

1.  House of Mooshki Bridal - Based in England their dresses can be found all over Europe and in California and New Jersey.  They short, flirty styles are fun and unique and perfect for the bride who wants to think outside the box!

2.  Watters and especially Willowby by Watters.  These dresses are for the young at heart who wants something with traditional elements but is slightly outside the box. 

3.  Justin Alexander - Elegance and sophistication with a hint of playfulness!

When choosing your dress make sure "you do you."  There are so many options and styles and price points to choose from.  And take into account the type of wedding you are planning and the time of year of your wedding.  But no matter what make sure you feel comfortable and beautiful in your dress!

We got to ring in 2018 with the gorgeous and totally fun wedding of Emily and Alex at the West Palm Beach Hilton. 

They celebrated the New Year in style with so many unique and fun elements!  And the gorgeous evening ceremony was so full of love and tradition.  The whole weekend was a blend of the traditional and modern.
