The Whirlwind World of Weddings

A bride in the money booth at the 2nd Open House... brides (including me!) will do nearly anything to help manage the cost of their weddings!

Working with The Wedding Showcase, I've really gotten a decent handle on how many wedding services work, just so I can better understand how to describe our partners to clients when they have basic questions. I have to say, though, that it came in most important when I started shopping for MY wedding!

Yep, I'm a Bride-to-Be myself... our wedding is coming up in 6 1/2 weeks! And MAN, so you really get put through the trials as a bride when planning your wedding. Really, though, the best part about being in cahoots with so many awesome wedding professionals is all the objective advice I've gotten. So I've decided that each week for a series of weeks, I'm going to share some of those insider insights with you!

I know the most about wedding photography, since that's my field, so I'll start with that in the next post... I know you'll be holding your breath in the meantime. ;)

Open House #2

Very happy with our Open House last week. We had a lot of people come through, check us out, talk to us and even win some nice things. Between the money booth and the diamond dig in the cupcakes (plus our giveaways) I think it was well worth it for all to come up. Cory (Prelude photographer) spent some time working out a package that one of the couples could afford. We trimmed things down and made it fit them and everyone was happy. And then they won our $1,000 package :) So now they are CRAZY EXCITED they can get so much more. It's nice when things work out.

So now we're past our open houses and on to Wedding stuff. I'll start talking about that tomorrow. -Matt (from Prelude)

Mall wedding show

Late night last night helping everyone put together booths and stuff. I'm just printing a few last minute things (coupons, info, etc) and then off to the show. Luckily we have nice weather (nice enough) so we expect a nice turnout.
