SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NEW SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE, EXPLAINED

DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS?

Some Thing Old , Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue

I have to tell you that I have been in the wedding industry for a few years now........ And I got this Wrong. So it is a saying that many brides live by. " Something old, Something New Something Borrowed and Something blue". Now if you have read any of my past post I know that I am guilty of the broken record syndrome (get it ... I am a DJ). Ok they cant all be good. Moving on, Weddings are ALL about tradition  and this my friends is no exception. 

According to Wikipedia  the origin can be traced back to an English rhyme in 1898. 

So broke down to modern times. What does it mean. It is all symbolic:

Something Old - Represents the old life that the bride is leaving behind 

Something New - Represents the new life that the bride and groom will enter into. 

Something Borrowed - Represents the many happy years the couple will have.(should be from some one                   who is happily married and has been for a while.) 

Something Blue - Represents  purity 

There it is....... or is it? Did you know that there was a last part to this poem that many people have never heard???

The last line of this rhyme is : And a Sixpence in your shoe. - represents good luck (usualy a gift from the man of the house .....DAD) 

Congratulations on your engagement.

Give Mom a Break..... After All It is Your Wedding Day!!!

GIVE MOM A BREAK .... 

AFTER ALL IT IS YOUR WEDDING DAY

The planning is done, the wedding day is here. The brides maids start to arrive and family is starting to pour in from all corners of the world. While the bride is doing her best to relax and enjoy the celebration of love that is about to unfold, Mom is nowhere to be found. So many times the responsibility of making sure that the caterers are set, the band knows where to set up, the tables are set up,  the candles are lit, and so on. 

While it may not always be mom who takes on the responsibility, it almost always falls upon a close member of the family. 

There is however an option that can make this a thing of the past and gives you many of the advantages of having a seasoned wedding professional at your side.

DAY OF WEDDING PLANNER

Just as the title says, it is hiring a wedding planner for the day of your wedding. Up till now the idea of a wedding planner just didn't fit into the budget of many couples who would rather do the ground work their selves and spend some of that budget on other things. Having a seasoned professional help you on your wedding day assures the bride and groom that things will be done with experience which is why so many couples go with planners from the beginning. 

This is a service that most brides don't even know that is available to them. 

I was recently talking with Ester Gonzalez at a wedding, where she brought the importance of this service to brides.  Something that I didn't even know existed. Ester is the proprietor and expert wedding coordinator of A Sense of Bride in Abilene Texas.  She is our go to lady for all things wedding. "The average person will only plan a wedding twice in their life. What I do when we are hired for the day of is sit down with the bride and groom. We go over the over all direction that they want  their wedding to go. I contact the vendors, that they have set up, and make sure that every last detail, down to who lights the candles, is addressed. Many times at these meetings brides are amazed at all of the details they missed while planning their big day. When the day of their wedding arrives I make sure that both their reception and ceremony go smoothly. This also allows them the opportunity to rent our linens and decorations. Which if they choose to take advantage of we set up for them and design them to their liking. Over all this service allows the brides to know that their wedding is in the hands of a professional for a fraction of what it cost to hire a professional to help you plan your whole event."

After talking with a couple of other wedding coordinators I realized that this is something that many of the professionals in the business are offering.
