White Wedding?

So it appears that the new trend in 2008 weddings are anything but traditional. As I searched the Internet, I came across many sites that were touting, White is out, and Black is in. Black? You got it, and not just black, brides are turning to red too.

Gone are the days were the bride wore a traditional white dress. Many up and coming gals are looking for a dress that better shows their personality. While they are still classy, they are not your moms dress.

There are some great posts on another wedding blog, Parisian Party, which discusses upcoming trends in Paris. They seem to really be embracing the Black Wedding Dress!

So what are your thoughts? Traditional Bride or Up and coming Fashionista? Let us know!

The Bridal Consultant Workshop

We attended a fantastic workshop in Ventura, California given by Jean Picard who is a Master Bridal Consultant, by the Association of Bridal Consultants. The workshop was very informative for us newbies! It taught us all the basic information on how to help set our business, and important measures to take. Jean was very helpful and she came with a lot of great stories and ideas.

Katie and I left the workshop with more to do and think about than when we went in. We are so excited and on fire to embrace this new adventure. We know we have our work cut out for us, but with Jeans guidance, I think we have it under control!

Wish us luck, behind this idea of a new business comes A LOT OF WORK!! Bring it on!!! We are so ready!

A Valentine Wedding Favor

I am a huge fan of wine (as all my friends know), so when I came across this fabulous wine stopper I had to post something on it!

This is the perfect wedding favor for those Valentine Nuptials! Or for those of us who have been married for years, a nice Valentine day gift.

I found this on BridalPeople.com. It is made of chrome and rubber. SUPER CUTE, and it is very reasonably priced. Check it out!

Reality Party Planning

So since I was home for a week during the holidays, I realized there is a whole world of TV out there and 90% of it is reality TV. Well I stumbled upon two programs, one on the Style channel the Big Party Plan Off and one on the Lifetime channel Top this Party: Las Vegas.

The Big Party Plan Off poses two party planners to come up with a party theme and present it to the party givers and guest of honor. Then they choose which one they prefer and the losing planner has to help the winner with the party. It was very entertaining and they have some cute ideas.


Top This Party: Las Vegas was a little over the top for me. Seeing that the budget for the party that the planner, Breakfast is his name, was half a million dollars!!! I don’t think I could even fathom where to start with a budget like that! The party giver gave him $100K to get started! Amazing!


So I was wondering if anyone has seen theses programs and what there take is on them! Let us know!

2008...What are your goals?

So it is officially 2008...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With the beginning of the new year comes the promise of new resolutions. So this year I have vowed to NOT make the standard resolution of "I would like to lose weight" or "I vow to work out more".

NOT THIS YEAR!!! I decided to make a resolution that I could actually strive for and work towards without feeling like a broken record. So, my 2008 New Years Resolution is to become successful in my own venture...KDC Events. I am not saying I want it to be uber successful this year, but my goal is to successfully plan and execute at least one major event.

So, now that I have committed it to writing, I better get cracking on finding a client! If you know of anyone seeking an event planner, Hit us up!

Let us know what your 2008 Resolutions are!!
