BHLDN

"Inspired by the Dutch word for “to keep,” as well as countless tales from family and friends of the extraordinary weddings they’d been part of, their roots are with Anthropologie, so a passion for experience and creating one-of-a-kind moments runs deep."

 Their aim; to help a woman create an event that reflects her own unique perspective… to a tee. (TOTALLY US TOO! :) 

 

Their goal and the reason they drape, fold, bustle, and stitch, is to start a conversation with our customer—to build a resource where she can come to find inspiration and to share with those closest to her, as well as our broader coterie.

The Top 10 Reasons Why YOU need a Wedding Coordinator.

1. MULTI TASKING

You cannot be in 10 different places at once! Having a wedding coordinator is one of the best stress relieving things your can do for yourself and for your family.

2. ENJOY THE DAY:

Your mother, friends, bridesmaids, cousins and most of all YOU should ENJOY your wedding day! “Someone has to work on your wedding day and it shouldn’t be you!”

3. VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS

You will have access to your coordinators’ professional vendor recommendations. He or she will also help you interview and make the right choices for you, your family and your budget.

4. CONTRACTS:

Your wedding planner will assist you with contract negotiations and ensure that all contracts are binding and legal.

5. BUDGET-BUDGET-BUDGET!

The dreaded word- but one of the most important of the wedding. A coordinator will help you develop a budget and stick to it!

6. ITINERARY

Where is everyone supposed to be and when?? A wedding coordinator develops a detailed itinerary for you and for your guests so everyone is clear on his or her responsibilities.

7. CREATIVITY

How to bring all the details together? A planner will lend invaluable creative and organizational expertise. Example: You have a vision of your décor but how do you mesh the various aspects together in seamless harmony? Your coordinator will be your guide.

8. ETIQUETTE

Should I invite my third cousin on my father’s side who I haven’t seen since I was three years old? How do we formulate a seating chart for divorced parents who do not get along and also have new spouses? All of your etiquette questions can be answered by your planner. “You can do anything you want at your wedding; it’s all about how you frame it!”

9. EVENT MANAGEMENT

Someone needs to coordinate all aspects of the day- set up, take down and any little “emergencies” that may arise. Oh, there will be at least one! Your coordinators’ job is make everything about the day appear seamless and planned whether it was or not!

10. THE DETAILS

Who is going to lay out the favors and place cards? Who takes everything down, makes sure your gifts are taken to your room, ensures that all of your memorabilia (cake cutting utensils, cake top, champagne toasting flutes etc etc) are returned to you in pristine condition? These and a thousand other details not handled by your other vendors will be the responsibility of your coordinator.

It’s more difficult than it seems but that shouldn’t stop you from having the time of your life and the day of your dreams!

Something about VERA!

So I shared a behind the scenes to a Vera Wang Bridal a few weeks back.

I'm particularly biased, because I hold Vera Wang dresses very dearly to heart.

Partly because I looked every inch of FABULOUS in one of her dresses and because her designs are truly AMAziiiing!

I'll let you be the judge, but there are a few shots of my dress. ;)

Engagement Photo-Sessions!

Want an engagement session with a bit more pizazz?  Looking for some ideas that won’t be the standard ‘pretty picture in a park’ pictures?  Here are some ideas to give your engagement session the extra bump it needs to be fabulous!

Incorporate props

One of the easiest ways to give your engagement session a little more flair is to bring some props that will give the pictures – even if it is used for just a few – a bit more pop and personality.  Here are just a few ideas to get you started!   

• Either of you play an instrument?  Bring the instrument along and stage a faux concert together!
• Hats are a quick and fun way to change your look and add some fun without changing clothing.
• Balloons (one big or lots of little ones) are becoming very popular in engagement shoots for that extra fun factor. 
• Make signs and hold them up.
• Utilize the engagement shoot to make table numbers for your wedding and hold up the various numbers.  
•  Have a favorite book?  Bring it along!
• Have a pet?  Have a family friend bring the pet to the shoot for some quick pictures with you.   
• Old cameras.  Are you budding photographers?  Bring your cameras along or better yet bring old cameras to the shoot!
• Shoes.  You know I had to go here.  Got some fabulous shoes?  BRING THEM!
• Flowers are simple but easy props to bring into the engagement session.
• Are you wine drinkers?  Bring your favorite bottle and share it for pictures….. YOU GET IT?

Themes

Another fun way to personalize your engagement shoot is to come up with a theme that fits your relationship.

• Decades are always good fun – pick one that suits you best and roll with it incorporating location, clothing and styles.
• ‘Old Hollywood’ is a theme that has been very popular on the blogs lately.
• Have a favorite movie?  Reinact the movie in your engagement session!
• Numbers.  Make all of your locations have numbers that represent dates that are important to you.
• Family.  Go to family farms, old homes etc.  
•  A good cause!   Some couples have taken pictures in pink and used the images at each setting with a note that they donated the cost of the favor for breast cancer research.
• Have (or stage) a picnic!!  Bring a basket (or let me know if you’re doing the session with me as I have a picnic basket) and blanket and set up a picnic in a park.
• Are you guys earth friendly?  Theme your engagement session around the idea of recycling and being earth friendly.
• Have me shoot the actual proposal!  While not quite a theme there will definitely be a ‘we just got engaged’ vibe no matter where the location.

Quirky Locations

Get out of the park and off the beach and find some locations that are really unique.  Go to places that are important to you or fits your personalities and your engagement session will immediately have meaning beyond ‘a pretty park.’

• Location of your first date.  
• Location where you got engaged.
• Location where you met.
• Bowling Alley.
• Arcade.
• Ice Cream Shop.
• Amusement Park.
• Local Fair.
• Planetarium.
• Museum.
