Hi All,  I know we are all dealing with ongoing Pandemic.  But there is hope and weddings and events are booking.  Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 are booking quickly...Even Fall 2022 is booking now.  So don't hesitate or your first choice wedding pro may be booked!

I wanted to take a moment to talk about the conccept of the Day of Wedding Coordinator.  This is a solution that many publications and websites suggest as a way to save money or to use if you don't want to hire a "full wedding planner."  While it is less expensive for the planning fees, there is a lot of misunderstanding about what role the planner plays in your wedding planning process.

We call this process Wedding and Event Management.  We get it, some of you want to handle every single detail on your own.  That's cool!  But remember that while you have all of those fabulous details in your head and have been working on them for a long, we are not part of all of those decisions that you are making.  It takes us time to digest and understand what you want and need on your wedding day.  

That's why we do a monthly check-in just to see how things are going.  And answer random questions.  I can't stress this enough...so many times I have been told "oh i won't have questions...and then there are questions...which we happily answer."  or "i wish i understood all you do, I would have hired you for more of the process."

We can't just show up the day of the wedding and execute your vision.  It would be impossible.  We will book this package for you as far in advance as you want. And honestly it can give you a sense of peace during the process to know that you have someone for your big day.  We also provide you with a preferred vendor list (which is continously being updated and evolving).  We also ask that you send us copies of all of your contracts with other wedding pros.  We review them and make sure all is covered...and we need them to confirm that is everything is done per contract specifications on the wedding day.

We start to get super involved in the last 4-6 weeks before your wedding. This is also the time when the stress levels tend to peak for our couples..everyone is getting involved and sharing their opinions.  We can be a neutral 3rd party for you.  We listen, we don't judge, we help talk you through the stress.

During this time, we review everything with you - every small detail.  We create your first draft of your timeline approximately 30 days out from the wedding.  This is done in collaboration with all of your wedding pros.  We start creating a weekend itinerary for you and your wedding party and families.  

Then we turn our attention to the rehearsal.  We will be there for a maximum of 2 hours for rehearsal coverage and guidance.  Usually it takes 45 minutes at the most.  At rehearsal time (or prior) we like to collect all of the items for the wedding day, such as toasting flutes, cake cutting set, favors, place cards, menus, programs and more. This way you don't have to remember to bring anything on the wedding day.

After all of this, then we get to the wedding day.  We are the first to arrive and last to depart on your wedding day.  We coordinate all of the set up, take down, anything that happens during the day. We gather up all of your personal items, along with your designated representative and get them to your hotel or car.  

We make sure you get some of your awesome appetizers while you are taking photos.  We bring your comfy shoes to you so that you can dance the night away.    We keep everyone on time and focused.  And so much more.

It is such a thrill to see it all come together and see the happiness on your face.  Just remember that it is much more than showing up on the day of the wedding.  And with over 11 years of creating weddings in South Florida, we have the experience, knowledge and understanding of what it takes to make this all happen for you.

Remember, you deserve a Fabuluxe Day!

It came as a shock to everyone in the wedding industry, future brides and grooms and many more that Style Me Pretty shut down with no advance warning.  New content stopped being posted last week and the entire site will shut down as of April 30.

Style Me Pretty was the gold-standard in our business.  Everyone wanted to have their weddings featured on the blog.  Being a Style Me Pretty vendor gave you a "cool factor" but then more and more wedding blogs appeared.

Something happened...many blogs all started to feature the same type of wedding and photos that Style Me Pretty loved.  The same aesthetic started popping up all over the internet.  

What started as something where creative and unique weddings were celebrated, became the same thing over and over again.  Mountains, boho vibes, perfect size 2 brides and grooms in suspenders and beards with just the right amount of scruff were everywhere.

In our world real weddings feature people that aren't all size 2 models.  Real weddings are in ballrooms and on beaches and in churches.  In our world real weddings are beautiful, and unique and wonderful.  They reflect who the couple is and we celebrate them for their uniqueness.

While, we are sad to see Style Me Pretty go, there is a piece of us that hopes that the blogosphere will acknowledge the differences and celebrate Love in all shapes, forms and celebrations.

What do you think about the end of Style Me Pretty and how wedding blogs portray weddings?

We would love to hear your thoughts! 

Happy New Year Y'All!  We hope that 2018 is off to a fantastic start for you!  We are so excited about the new year and all of the wonderful new possibilities it brings!   

Bridal shows and expos are great for some brides and vendors.  They can be a great way to meet other wedding vendors for your wedding but there are reasons why not everyone participates in them.

1.  They cost a lot of money - most shows can cost anywhere from $750-2,500 just for the booth (not including takeaways, booth decor, printed materials and more).   Bridal shows can be super-crowded and if you are just looking to get cards and postcards so you can reach out to vendors later..great.   But as a small business we have made the decision that money could be better spent on learning opportunities for our team, creating webinars and other materials for you as the couple and other fun things.

2.  Maybe we weren't invited to that particular show.  Most venues/shows invite the vendors that fit their target couple.  Maybe we aren't the right fit for that venue or show's target demographic.  Maybe we just don't know the people involved in creating the show...and that's ok.  There are so many talented wedding professionals in our area, at all price points.

3.  We aren't selling a product - We are selling a service.  Many shows are geared more to the vendors that sell an actual product that you can see, feel, taste, touch.  We sell a product or as we call it - We sell Peace of Mind and Expertise in Wedding Planning.  That can be really hard to explain when you get 1-3 minutes with each of you.  And we can't fully assess your needs in such a short amount of time.  We offer FREE consultations so that we can sit down and have a meaningful conversation on the best ways we can work together!

Our goal with each and every couple is to create a magical, memorable wedding experience.  We want you to have "all the feels" and not miss a moment of the emotions.  We don't want you to worry about the logistics, timing and vendors.  We want you to have your day with your loved ones and family!

Happy Planning and we can't wait to meet you in 2018!
