Every single meeting we had included tons of laughing, sarcasm and fun. They wanted a modern wedding and a party reception and that is exactly what they got. <div>
Once again I was able to put together an amazing vendor team which made the day go perfectly as planned.</div>

Last summer I was invited by Amy with Best Day Ever Photography and Jenn with Faithful Bull Productions to participate in this amazing wedding giveaway they put together. Initially I had no idea how awesome this wedding would grow to become. It didn't take long to figure it out though, their excitement and passion was contagious. Within a month we had 25 vendors donating their time, services, goods and spaces to this lucky couple.<br />
The ceremony took place at the Monastery in Mt. Adams. We were so fortunate to be able to get this venue because it is essentially abandoned aside from them doing some art installations. Which also meant it was a bare boned venue. The Monastery created a unique and breathtaking space to be married in.<br />

All Occasions provided the oak garden chairs which looked perfect in the venue. Lucius Limited spent the entire day constructing the tree like arch. We wanted to keep the overall design inside the Monastery simple and natural. The Monastery was so beautiful inside and we really wanted to showcase the architecture of the building.<br />
<br />
The reception took place at Longworth's, just down the hill from the ceremony. All of the guests were able to walk right down to the venue.<br />

We transformed the upstairs including the patio of Longworth's. It was a labour of love but it was so worth it in the end. The vineyard chairs were gorgeous on the patio and helped tie together the ceremony and reception.<br />

And since today brings the first cold, nasty day of the year I felt it was appropriate to warm you up with this awesome wedding full of love, color and sunshine.<br />
Courtney and Drew were the winners of the <a href="http://www.lovebash.com/" target="_blank">Love+Bash</a> wedding giveaway. So they had an amazing vendor team to work with. Each vendor worked hand in hand to grasp Courtney and Drew's inspiration and we all ran with it. In the end it turned out perfect!<br />

I am now happy to call both Megan and Renee my friends. I knew right away Megan was a ton of fun. When she and her beautiful bride asked me for my help on their wedding day I was beyond excited. There are a few reasons to my excitement. One, because Megan and Renee are absolutely amazing people. Two, because it was my first same sex wedding. I have been trying to inch my way into same sex marriages/unions/ceremonies for YEARS now. Marriage equality is one of my passions and I feel as if I can not do enough to show my support.<br />
Megan and Renee opted for a simple, traditional style for their ceremony and reception. They wanted all of their guest to focus on their love then have one hell of a party to celebrate it. They achieved their goal!<br />
Megan and Renee, thank you so much for trusting me to pull your plans together, your wedding was awesome.<br />

From the very first contact email I received from her I felt a good connection. Karen and Dan were planning their Cincinnati wedding from Virginia. Which is stressful on any level, but when we finally met in person, I knew this girl was on top of the game. She handed me a folder containing about 40 pages of info. From photos and bios of each member of the bridal party, music playlists, invitations, inspiration boards and all kinds of goodies. I felt as though I just met with a wedding planner who was getting married. This girl was organized and I LOVED it. Aside from the organization Karen offered I immediately noticed how her and Dan compliment each other so perfectly. Respectfully asking each others opinions on things and just being in love.<br />
Looking forward to their wedding, the day finally came and I was blown away. First because Karen did an AMAZING job at planning her wedding. She left out not even the smallest detail. Everything was beautiful and the love surrounding Karen and Dan was absolutely perfect. They have so many awesome friends who wanted to make sure this day was flawless and everyone did!<br />
I have to start showing photos now, because there are so many fantastic images. Congratulations Karen and Dan and I hope you are adjusting well to your new home in Atlanta.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Deciding how to wear your hair out to work, to school, to an event, or out on a Saturday night can be frustrating at times especially when you don't know what to do with it, but how you and your bridesmaids wear your hair on the wedding day makes all the difference. For a trendy look there are many things to consider when choosing how to style your hair. The theme of your wedding as of what you are going for, your dress whether you want to show the back of the dress or the neckline, and of course what styles look good for your facial structure. The hair styles that are trending right now are defiantly braids, colorful feathers, gem like clip ons, jeweled head bands, and pearls. Fresh flowers in the hair are also very in style. The beautiful fresh colors gives the look a brighter side and also some elegance. You can tell your florist what colors you want and they can fashion some gorgeous flowers for you and your bridesmaids. Hair is a very important factor for you and your girls having a style that is easy yet fun is the perfect way to go. Here are some neat ideas to take a look at!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>Your save the dates are one of your first fun projects in the wedding planning process as an engaged couple. After choosing your date there are many different ways to create something extravagant and creative! This is a great way to include your groom to be in the planning. Your groom will love to give some input and feel very excited to give appealing ideas to share. Save the date invites are creative, excitement, and brings even more passion for each other. Whether you and your lovely partner are obsessed with themes such as vintage, beach, outdoor, rustic, modern, and etc there are so many ways that you can portray those onto a small to medium sized flyer of some sort. The style of your writing, the colors you use, the symbols, or the templates are a way to share your ideas as a future married couple. Postcard style, magnets, cards with photos, calendars, red carpet movie tickets, a storyline of how you met, trends, and more are all great ideas to share with your friends and family for your upcoming special date.Krystal McElfreshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13427793065355287033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903540053982697166.post-86886655234079804622012-02-27T17:54:00.000-08:002012-02-27T17:54:45.472-08:00why having a good photographer is soooooo important (regardless of your budget!)Well.. this blog post was going to be about getting your sexy on with a boudoir shoot, but I decided (last minute) to make the boudoir post another day. Either way.. BOTH are important!<br />
So the title says "regardless of your budget!" yes i saw that. As a wedding planner, I do spend countless hours on the internet, I will admit it.. I search and drool over weddings until the wee hours of the night and get inspired. (My husband thinks I am wasting time, I say TV is wasting time.) My point is.. even if you have a 5,000 budget for your WHOLE wedding.. Spend most of that on your photographer. The world of D.I.Y. ( do it yourself) in the wedding world is crazy awesome right now! You can have a back yard wedding and create an atmosphere that is phenomenal with the help of D.I.Y. tutorials! Have friends and family make the food, do a D.I.Y. bar, get the wedding DJ app for your iPhone or iPod, thrift your wedding gown and find an alteration person to up-cycle it! (or even use your moms!) do an awesome dessert bar rather than a fancy wedding cake. These are all ideas that are super trendy right now. Yes, a few years ago I tossed out the D.I.Y. service to help brides who want a D.I.Y. look but do not have time to do it. But if your budget is small (I had my wedding on a 8,000 budget by the way) why not take the time to make it awesome.<br />
So my post is about your photographer right!! You can find a GREAT photographer for 2,500. - 3,000. YES that is a lot of money, I KNOW! But hear me out... the one thing you will have FOREVER, will be your photos. The photography market in the wedding industry is OVER saturated with people who just go buy a camera and think they know what they are doing. You HAVE to do your homework, and just because they charge $2500. does not mean they are good, nor does having 20 years experience. I am not saying you may not get lucky and find a photographer who is just starting out and trying to build their portfolio and charging next to nothing to do it. They do exist, and every now and then they are really good.<br />
I think another issue is being a bride, you may have never thought about photographers before. You may not have a clue as to what is good and what is hideous and out dated. I went back and forth about whether I should post examples of good wedding photography and bad wedding photography and choose to not do it. I am not here to tell someone they suck at what they do. I am here to educate a couple in making smart choices when it comes to wedding vendors. So instead I will just post a link to some really great local photographers via my "we love" page. These are people that can tell your wedding day story with their art.<br />

<a href="http://pinterest.com/oxyjen/">Pinterest</a> has become one of my biggest obsessions. I am pretty sure every wedding planner/designer adores it as much as I do. The concept of <a href="http://pinterest.com/oxyjen/">Pinterest</a> is genius, basically you "pin" photos to create inspiration boards. The best part about <a href="http://pinterest.com/oxyjen/">Pinterest</a> is when you pin something you love from a website it acts like an online bookmark. So you can always go back to the "pin", click on it and it takes you back to the website it came from. It is awesome for saving recipes, inspiration photos, D.I.Y. tutorials, and anything you just really love or want to revisit.<br />
I love that I am able to create inspiration boards for my couples and they can also add to that board. So we are always on the same page in terms of design. The couples can look at it anytime they want and click "like" on the images they really love.<a href="http://pinterest.com/oxyjen/"> Pinterest</a> has taken inspiration boards to a new level that I LOVE! Go check out my<a href="http://pinterest.com/oxyjen/"> Pinterest</a> boards and see how fast you can get addicted. <a href="http://pinterest.com/oxyjen/">http://pinterest.com/oxyjen/</a>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406965342013356085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903540053982697166.post-9065229007916063022012-02-14T13:19:00.000-08:002012-02-14T13:19:31.959-08:00our wedding...Due to the lack of blogging I got used to doing, I have yet to post real photos from my own wedding. Well the blog has changed, I am posting daily and I have a story to tell about mine and Shane's wedding.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAi9ucJaoiqBij8Mn_weV5o4E5r9rW1qEj8v7x8dZeY-PkLrRQeiwmErDgg1b49Luz99jBZliQl6dWNqgGbZIDqF1n2JvDEcuhVoB5M5gVHvLESvsS5daJncujTkvbg6VXA-mrBMQBDUE/s1600/daut430-9_58_16PM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAi9ucJaoiqBij8Mn_weV5o4E5r9rW1qEj8v7x8dZeY-PkLrRQeiwmErDgg1b49Luz99jBZliQl6dWNqgGbZIDqF1n2JvDEcuhVoB5M5gVHvLESvsS5daJncujTkvbg6VXA-mrBMQBDUE/s400/daut430-9_58_16PM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Our wedding was a small intimate production. We opted for this because we really wanted to enjoy the whole day surrounded by our closest friends and family. Our wedding party consisted of a total of 2 girls and 2 guys. My two daughters, my son and Shane's brother. Shane's best friend Jason, who lives in L.A. got ordained and married us! He also did mine and the girls hair. Jason's wife made sure all of us girls had everything we needed and was awesome to have hanging out with us all day. Another one of Shane's really close friends from L.A. did our makeup. It really was perfect to have these important people making this day amazing for us.<br />

Shane and I decided we wanted to see each other prior to the ceremony. I really had no idea how emotional this moment would be. Even though I have seen tons of first looks with previous clients I now know how beautiful that moment is when a bride and groom see each other for the first time, alone.<br />

Once we arrived at the venue, Leapin Lizard, our day of coordinator had everything set up and ready to go. So we were able to take some time and relax before guest started to arrive.<br />

After the ceremony all the guests went downstairs for cocktails as the upstairs was flipped and set up for dinner. My favorite part of this was Shane and I actually were able to participate in the cocktail hour while our day of coordinator and the staff at Leapin Lizard flipped the room. I can not emphasize how important it is to have someone there to do the actual work the day of your wedding!<br />

Aside from our actual amazing wedding invitations which Amo-Ink created. We made all of the napkins, menu cards, programs, the fabric hearts our flower girl tossed, hand painted all of our silverware handles, escort card tags, picked a ton of wild flowers that grew near our house and bought some as well and created our centerpieces, made our bouquets and the boutonnieres, made the desert table signs, and the table numbers. Here are some pics!<br />

If you are getting married in a place where you can play any music you wish I highly recommend choosing music that fits you and your fiancé. Skip the Cannin in D, it is not a required wedding tune! <br />
I am going to give you my personal weddings playlist because well...it rocked. <br />

Even though this was not a traditional wedding playlist it was well thought out and our guests knew the songs and loved the coolness. Each song was important to us in one way or another and kept the "wedding" vibe alive. So check out all the songs and get inspired!

Upon doing that i felt my old blog just did not have a cohesive feel to my new site. So I just made it generic for a minute. I am working on a new background for the blog as we speak so it will be ugly only for a short period of time. So bear with me, and feel free to look at the past blog post!<br />
Also you can look forward to some new D.I.Y. tutorials, some fun stylings for your wedding and some awesome fashion in the very near future!Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02406965342013356085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903540053982697166.post-29245351849836493202011-12-28T22:13:00.000-08:002011-12-28T22:13:27.408-08:00Internship 2012Tis true....

Being a D.I.Y. bride is hard work. Not only do you have the stress of being a bride but you are handcrafting a butt load of items that all your guests will be looking at. So they have to be awesome.<br />
When I first got engaged we went right to vendor hiring. That was pretty easy for us since I already knew who I would want to have at our wedding. My problem was the design of the event. There were so many things I loved but I could not find them, or I didn't want to pay for them. (i became very cheap when it came down to paying for decor). We had no "theme" or color scheme, we just went with things we love. It was a hodge podge of randomness that meshed beautifully in the end. <br />
My D.I.Y. list consisted of the following:<br />
1. fabric bouquets (this was a trial and error situation, I thought I wanted funky printed fabric flowers but ended up with solid rolled fabric flowers. After I had made a bunch of the funky ones of course. Then I had to figure out how to assemble them into a bouquet! It took a while but I finally got it. They turned out awesome. Shown below is mine but I also made my girls' as well. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl14xDPPbxEl0Z0xV5pf1HJGZk1-Yd_j8sVEvEE6lBmwqeGgGMXobhdNYdCLTIuzOGfou81INKPLEeEYVcDtIiyRIeBzGbW2RfXAZJ5x6_2F3wvhuhXeX7Xpx1sVnmW6SOldUILWCZDcE/s1600/diy+bouquet" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl14xDPPbxEl0Z0xV5pf1HJGZk1-Yd_j8sVEvEE6lBmwqeGgGMXobhdNYdCLTIuzOGfou81INKPLEeEYVcDtIiyRIeBzGbW2RfXAZJ5x6_2F3wvhuhXeX7Xpx1sVnmW6SOldUILWCZDcE/s320/diy+bouquet" width="239px" /></a></div>2. Painted silverware... UGH.. This was a project that took forever. Mainly because we wanted vintage silverware to paint, because the handles are so much more ornate. It took us months to find enough silverware for everyone. Once we did Shane took the liberty of painting them all. They turned out amazing as well. This was a job that I didn't think we would get finished, but we did.<br />

I wanted to make candy buttons for the sweets table.. So I made a few. These things were messy as all get out. The buttons were so tiny they were hard to get out of the molds, but they were cute. We scattered them along the base of our cakes and other random areas on the dessert table.<br />
<br />

Flower girl toss. I did not want to have our adorable flower girl toss flower petals, I though at first glitter or feathers but decided some fabric hearts would be much cooler. Plus I had a ton of fabric cut from my initial fabric flower idea. <br />
<br />

Napkins. I wanted fun printed napkins for the tables. My original plan was to cut them and bind the edges, but since I put this project off till last minute I skipped the edge binding and just used pinking shears to create a cute little edge. They took forever as well because after cutting them all I had to press them so they laid nice and flat. <br />
<br />

I also made the menu cards as seen above and our programs which I didn't take a photo of but they were cool! I will post pro pics once we get them back tomorrow. :) YAY!<br />
<br />
7. Escort cards.. I ordered paper straws along time ago and wanted to use them somewhere. I went with the soda bottle and attached the escort cards onto them with a ribbon and stuck the straws on them as well. They were cute. :) <br />

<br />
8. Table numbers.. I just cut numbers out of fabric and suck them on a piece of kraft paper and inserted them into an Ikea frame. Easy peasy. <br />

</div>9. A big project was the floral centerpieces. In the beginning I was going to make all fabric flowers for the centerpieces.. well... that didn't happen. So instead, after thrifting a mother load of vintage glass I decided I would use real flowers. I wanted to create a wildflower look that was not to "put together" looking. My friend Nikita and I went out 2 days prior to the wedding and started picking flowers from the side of the road like crazy people. Since it is early fall we lucked out with a ton of yellow, purple and white flowers. But I wanted more color so I went and bought a TON of bouquets from Kroger and took them apart and created our centerpieces. For this job, I had help from Shane and our friend/officiant. It took way longer than I thought it would to put all of the centerpieces together because I wanted a ton of smaller ones. <br />
This is our kitchen after the flower arranging madness.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A few other things I made but are not pictured was the aisle decor, which was a few billy balls and some iron wedding tied together with a ribbon. They were attached to every other row of chairs. Simple yet pretty. CD's of all music for the prelude, ceremony and dinner. Boutonnières for the guys. I believe that is everything. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sorry the photos are dark, they were all taken from my phone. I will be doing another post when we get our photos back from the amazing <a href="http://www.stephcarson.com/blog1/?p=9208">Steph Carson</a>.

When I met Erin I learned that her mom was used to New York weddings. Weddings which were full of glitz and glam and that is what she wanted. Also, that is what she achieved. An intimate wedding at the Hilton Netherland Plaza is still a beauty. With the French art deco decor at the Hilton and the huge floral designs by Courtenay Lambert there was nothing left small about this wedding. It was beautiful. Erin and Jeremy are an adorable couple and their families are as well. Check out the photos below and i know you will love what you see so lets give some credit to the amazing vendors!<br />

I have been waiting to do a blog post about love+bash for awhile now so here it is. <br />
Many of you know that Nikita Gross of <a href="http://www.nikitagrossphotography.com/">Nikita Gross Photography</a> and I worked our butts off to organize Cincinnati's first ever alternative bridal expo. We put many, many, many hours of planning into this event and I think in the end it showed. It was awesome! When we said "bad ass" we meant every syllable of it. <br />
Honestly we had no idea what to expect. We had many bi-polar moments where we were so pumped and excited than we would start to panic and freak out a little. Our vendors were great and every time they said they were excited it gave Nikita and myself a little boost of confidence. <br />
When the day finally came, it was raining, which made us even more nervous! As we were all unloading onto the sidewalks waiting to get into the Leapin Lizard every moment that passed we got more and more nervous, excited and anxious. So many emotions! <br />
Once we got in it was "game-on." <br />
Every vendor knew exactly what to do when it came to their displays. We were so excited to see everyone bring it, in terms of creativity and using love+bash as an outlet for that. Everyone got our vision perfectly. <br />
As time went on, all of the fashion show models were upstairs getting their hair and make-up done. Downstairs was shaping up to look "bad ass" Nikita and I were running around like crazy checking everything and someone yelled "you have a line outside!" We were so excited, Nikita's motto through this whole adventure was "if we build it, they will come." From day one she said that, and I believed it and it happened. The turn out was awesome and so many brides, grooms, moms, and friends had FUN! It was not stuffy and people wanted to talk to the vendors. They loved what they saw and asked questions. It was exactly what we wanted. I know I felt a huge sense of accomplishment and pride once the day came to an end and I am 100% sure Nikita did as well. We could not have done it without the amazing vendors who participated and the bad ass couples who came to see. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making love+bash a success. <br />
We are excited to start planning love+bash 2 and have many bright new ideas and BIGGER plans for the future. So take a peek at the 1ST annual love+bash! <br />

When they did book, I was beyond excited! Kristen and Andy live in Chicago (jealous) and both have style like no bodies business. They opted on having their wedding at Kristen's aunt and uncle's home in Pleasant Plains Ohio, which is just outside of Milford. Kristen's family went above and beyond with making sure Kristen and Andy had a perfect wedding. They even painted a wedding ring quilt square on the side of the barn in their colors. HOW CUTE!<br />
There are so many fantastic details to this wedding, Andy made all of the pin wheels which played a major roll in the decor for the ceremony. He also brewed his own beer as favors. I am pretty sure I overheard that a family member grew the hops that he used as well. They had a polaroid guest book/ photo booth with awesome props, candy/dessert bar, claw foot bath tub full of great beers, and amazing friends and family to celebrate with. Honestly I can not even tell you how awesome this wedding was, the music was great (no dj!) they opted for karaoke starting at 10! The groom and his brother played music while Kristen walked up the aisle with her father, and the best part of the evening was when Andy surprised Kristen with a quartet disguised at catering staff singing "the luckiest" by ben folds, as their first dance song. I am pretty sure there was not a dry eye in the house! Even I was getting watery eyes!<br />
Just look at the pics... which I had a hard time choosing a small amount to blog about, <a href="http://www.jennadavisphotography.com/">Jenna Davis</a> did a phenominal job taking the photos! She captured every emotion just perfectly. Other vendors who were involved, <a href="http://www.brideface.com/">BrideFace</a>, <a href="http://www.inspiredfloral.com/contact.html">Inspired Floral Design</a> and <a href="http://www.inspiredfloral.com/contact.html">Vondehaars Catering</a>.

<br />
I am 100% sure most all of you have heard me blab about love+bash at least a 100 times. Especially if you are a fan on facebook.<br />
Well now it is time for details! With one week to go we want everyone to understand what is going on!<br />
With so many badass vendors, this is not a bridal show that you will want to miss out on. It is not a typical show. You will want to make eye contact with these vendors. If you have been to a bridal show you know EXACTLY what I am talking about.<br />
Now, let's get to the good stuff.... the free stuff....<br />
The huge prize is free photography from Nikita Gross Photography, $2,000 floral package from the badass Katie Elfers AKA Inspired Floral Design, Full Planning Package from ME!, Cinci Makeup is giving free makeup for the bride and Five Dot Design is giving a $500.00 credit towards stationery! Seriously! This is HUGE. That is over an 8500.00 prize. This is a prize where you have to send us your story. In order to do so visit <a href="http://nikitagross.com/2011/04/19/free-wedding-photography/">Nikita Gross Photography's blog</a> for full details.<br />
There will also be a love+bash happy hour where many more prizes will be given away.<br />
The first 50 couples through the door will get a swag bag full of awesome items. Not just business cards but actual stuff.<br />
Nikita and I have put or heart, soul, blood (not really blood) but sweat and tears for sure into this event. We are sure it will be epic!<br />
Do not be the bride who wished she went, just go! There is a bar, dj spinning cool tunes, a fashion show and DIY classes. <br />

Oh the things I have been working on.. CRAZY! I sometimes wonder why I feel the need to keep busy every second of my life. I do know that <a href="http://lovebash.com/">love+bash</a> is the coolest thing I have worked on in a long, long time.<br />
What is love+bash you may ask? Well let me give you the low down. <br />
A while back I met with Nikita Gross, from <a href="http://www.nikitagrossphotography.com/">Nikita Gross Photography</a> simply as a networking kind of meeting.. at a bar..We both knew going into this meeting that we had to make time for a LONG meeting, because after looking at each others work, we knew we would be chatting for awhile. So we met and in all of about 20 minute we were talking about an "alternative bridal show" something that would attract the kind of clients we would love to work with. A show that would NOT showcase the "generic" vendors, but something that would show off the awesome artistic talent in this area. The talent that can make a wedding friggin' awesome! The kind of vendors that you see in blogs and swoon over. The kind of vendors who know that there is more to a wedding than a zilllion dollar budget and who can make awesomeness happen. <br />
After our initial meeting and the "holy shit we HAVE to do this.." we met again at my house, and <a href="http://lovebash.com/">love+bash</a> was born. Not only was a friendship created but a passion was sparked. We knew that we had to show brides in this area that there is more to bridal shows than what they are used to seeing. We want to show brides that not all bridal shows have to be scary! And they are. I know, I went to one of the bigger ones a little while back and I was scared to even look at a vendor! I felt like an asshole! And to be honest, I felt bad for the vendors that were there! WHY in the hell do people feel like they have to whore themselves like that? If you do good work, you do not have to attack poor brides like vultures and make them think weddings are still like they were 25 years ago! THEY ARE NOT!! Weddings now are all about you! What you like, your style, your love for your love! Not some generic, stupid, cheese-ball gathering. The kind where people are saying"oh shit we have to go to a wedding this weekend." In their "oh crap" voice. We don't want your guest to think that at all!<br />
We are 100% committed to making <a href="http://lovebash.com/">love+bash</a> a party for both brides, grooms, moms and dads, as well as the vendors involved. We want brides to be able to see ideas rather than hear about them. We want brides to walk away with do-it-yourself ideas and direction. You will see some cutting edge and alternative fashions at the fashion show. You will rock out to some serious tunes, have a drink and have fricking fun! This is not a bridal show that you will be attacked at. Brides will want to talk to the vendors, and will not be afraid to make eye-contact! We want to achieve an event like atmosphere, where people are proud to show off work in a non-booth setting. Also where brides want to chat it up with the vendors! We want you to have an awesome wedding whether you use us or not! That is the point of <a href="http://lovebash.com/">love+bash</a>! Get inspiration, meet amazing vendors, have fun! So make sure to mark your calendars for May 15, 2011 at Leapin Lizard in Covington, KY! You will not want to miss the tri-state area's first and only <a href="http://lovebash.com/">badass bridal show!</a><br />

I am going to tell a long story about Sarah and Matthew, because I worked with them for almost 2.5 years! I met Sarah and her mom at a bridal show I used to do when I was in the wedding mall in Covington. When Sarah said her wedding was well over 2 years away I did not think I would hear from her any time soon. Mostly because I had never had a bride who allowed for so much time to plan. Well need less to say, I did hear from her and booked her and Matthew.<br />
I knew when I met with Sarah, her mom and Matthew, that this crew was going to be a hoot. I laughed with them at pretty much every meeting we had. Matthew was DEAD SET against having pink in his wedding. He was a manly military kind of guy. He was not in the "ok, she is the bride and wants it" kind of stage yet. We toyed with many color schemes starting with navy and silver. Which was very elegant. Sarah knew what she wanted. I knew she knew, and I also knew that eventually Matthew would agree. :)<br />
Sarah was a girlie girl when it came to her wedding. She wanted pinks, glam, vintage, and sparkle and there was no changing that. After I got to know Matthew a little better I saw how he was a funny guy who just wanted to have a fun, elegant wedding for his guest. A few months (maybe even a year) went by and the next thing I knew we were having a pink, black and ivory with a vintage twist kind of wedding. I loved it. I loved this couple so much. Their humor and how they laughed all of the time was inspiring. I knew I had to add in some manly touches to this pink wedding, I didn't want Matthew to feel like he got shafted at all. Matthew loves good cigars and good beer. Sarah loves reading and vintage. With the two put together I came up with some fantastic centerpieces. I took thrifted books, thrifted beer mugs, wooden cigar boxes and a lot of pink florals and went to town. Myself and Katie Elfers created a perfect mix of girlie and manly. It was perfect.<br />
To add to Matthew's needs as a guy, we provides a smoke room with cigars. I am pretty sure I got this couple from hello. I just had to help Matthew see that it is ok for a guy to have some pink at his wedding.<br />
Sarah grandmother provided the pink peonies from her garden and Sarah's necklace. Matthew's aunt made the crazy chocolate grooms cake which had like 5-7 different kinds of chocolate and it smelled amazing! Sarah's step-mom made the table numbers. I loved how the family came together to create little special touches. Check out their photo board!<br />

Especially if you are a bride who wants something different and affordable. It seems that most venues are your typical brass chandelier, dropped ceiling, hideous carpeted standard venue. Unfortunately brides think that is what is expected. WHY? It is so not required to have an ugly venue for your wedding reception. Believe it or not there are a few good places in the area and I am sure this applies to any area. You really have to think outside of the box. Stop putting "wedding venue" in your google search if you are not finding something amazing! Start putting in art centers/galleries, parks, historic homes, theaters, vineyards, meeting space, loft space, even night clubs!<br />
You will be surprised at how many of these places will host a wedding reception. AND be within your budget! I have no idea why some brides think a venue like this is even close to being acceptable..<br />

First of all those chairs! UGH! Who even came up with this idea? Yes they can be covered, but that is not free. Next what the hell are those artificial trees doing besides looking tacky? Let's not even talk about the lighting or the carpet. How about that pillar in the middle of the room? Pretty useful huh? This is a standard wedding reception venue. WHY? Why do people even do this? I mean if some place is going to charge say a $12,000 minimum food and beverage why not make the space look awesome? I am not saying this space requires this. As a matter of fact I have no idea where this space is, but it looks like many other places in this area.<br />
I will be brutally honest, the wedding industry is a hard nut to crack. With price mark ups, and an over saturated vendor market it is hard for a bride. Even with the bazillion websites and blogs out there it is hard. Why? Because they are not realistic. I mean sure, many websites and blogs have tons of BEAUTIFUL photos, ideas and inspiration but where are the ones that are realistic in terms of budget? They are few and far between. And lets face it most of us are not working with a $100,000 budget. So you need to find the best bang for your buck. Is a venue that looks like that above what you would call your best option? NO! Even for a traditional bride this is not a good buy. When I am working with clients I NEVER, EVER send them to a cookie cutter venue. EVER! There are other options. Affordable options at that. So even if you are not working with a planner please keep looking before you settle. You do not have to have your wedding here.<br />
