Facebook & Weddings ???

Ok so recently at a conference one of the speakers spoke on the fact that Facebook is a great source of networking. This was basically the second time in a week I was told to do this. Now I always knew that socially people networked there, and I can't stand it :( lol, but on a business standpoint, this may be of interest. How many of you are on Facebook? Are you doing this socially or coming from a business aspect? I know there are quite a few of you vendors that use it (Charlotte of Delovely Designs), is it helpful?? Come on tell me, I gotta know. I have so little time in the day, and that's the reason I am terrible at blogging. So will this be, or rather is this an avenue that I should make time for? I am just curious. I don't want to be stubborn & snotty because I think that Facebook & My Space are for high school / college student, lol!! Although I do long to be 22 again, but I digress :) Do I need to jump on board is me question?

BLING, TOO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH?

So Platinum Weddings by Kerry featured a bride who had her toes blinged out!!! At first glance you may not be able to tell, so look closer. Now my question is have we gone to far? Is the whole "BLING" element going over & beyond?? You tell me, I am curious.



As for me I say bring it on :) The more bling the better. The bigger and more elaborate the party,the more exciting :) I love tasteful sparkling bling, lol. Now the toes... I am still debating this one. What do you think??

Fab Fall Colors

Ok so lets just be honest, I SUCK AT BLOGGING!!! I know it, you know it so I just have to face it. IDK why I can't simply write, I read blogs EVERYDAY. I love reading blogs yet I can't find the time and commit to my own, that really is terrible. A perfectionist at some much, but blogging... A loser, lol

At any rate, I have to give a quick shout to Dr. Cory & Cathryn Alfers. Their wedding was last weekend and not only did we have a GREAT time, it was ON time ALL day. We were actually early on many accounts. This was truly a flawless wedding, and Cathryn was the most organized bride, Working Brides has ever had. Thanks Cat you rocked :)*not that you others girls aren't organized :) lol

Ok so Bella's Blog posted the new fall colors today and they are great. Those of you in need of inspiration take a peek.

Nigerian Wedding

OMG what a weekend I had... I had the pleasure to be the day of coordinator for Ijeoma & Afam, and boy was it eventful. The bride warned me prior to that as a culture Nigerians aren't so good at RSVP'ing, so we would have plenty of guests simply show up. Let me say that she was not wrong. Many a guests showed up, even a few that actually RSVP'd that they weren't coming at all. We actually had to turn quite a few people away because there wasn't any room for them! It was a true experinece let me just say.

The bride and groom however had a great time. The rain almost ruined the day, but just as the ceremony ended, the sky opened and the rain stopped :) God works magic each and everyday and I saw a bit of it yesterday with the rain stopping at just that moment.

I toke no pictures yesterday, there really wasn't time, but the beautiful outfits that woman and men adorned in that hall filled the space with color and pizzazz :)The many cultural traditions of a nigerian wedding were up held as well and it was quite amazing to see rituals stand with time!!

Thanks again to the beautiful bride & groom, both families, the amazing host and hostess (you know how you are) and a fantastic wedding party! You were all a trip, lol!!
