Vintage Glamor Arm Candy (No, it is not Gregory Peck)!

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

This totally “accessories obsessed” wedding planner had a bit of an “OY” moment when I saw this fabulous purse, “The Viv” at Chlorine, Los Angeles!

Chlorine, LA is the “premiere seller of refurbished and artfully embellished vintage handbags” with a style that evokes the fabulous Glamor Era of Hollywood (one of my favorite eras)!!

I’ll get married again just to have a reason to buy this little number. They have other stunning bridal designs including a fabulous white fur with crystal accent for a glamorous winter wedding.

Fortunately, in addition to Bridal designs, they take care of the rest of us; that would be anyone of us who uber-chic and stylish single ladies, bridesmaids, moms, married ladies….wedding planners:)

Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge has a birthday coming up this month & also has her eye on this little number as well since it has a lion on it.
I collect lions in all shapes & sizes (save for the real ones of course) & I would so wear this so I’m putting another item on my “wish/buy list”!!

Have a Stylish Day!!!

The Wedding Concierge & The "Design Star"!!

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Yep, that’s me and Scott Corridan himself, one of the featured designers on this years’ version of HGTV’s “Design Star” and owner of Corridan and Company in Santa Barbara CA. Scott was also part of the incredibly talented team featured on Extreme Makeover “Wedding Edition”.

First of all, Scott really does have the most magnetic blue eyes and the greatest smile and, if you have watched the show, you know he just has the best laugh. He is a very genuine person indeed and he definately has a great design style and way he deals with his brides and clients that make you want to stay and hang out with him.

I had the pleasure of meeting Scott and being part of two presentations that he made at the NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) Educational Conference; last year in Phoenix, AZ and this year’s conference in Houston, TX.

This year Scott was the feature for the Design & Decor session and his challenge was to create, in 24 hours no less, an entire ambience to showcase new ideas for “Seating Beyond the Bar” that was chosen by the conference attendees.

Oh, and did he “get it”!! Scott showcased spaces and ideas that were innovate yet so comfortable; like you were invited to his living room. And that really is what events should be about-having fun and making your space feel like an extension of yourselves and welcoming your guests to a place in time and space that is yours, even just for the night.

The showcase featured floral arrangements that you would see in homes, furniture and lamps from antique stores, and some really out there ideas (but personal to Scott who rides), Harley’s used as seating…that’s Hot!

I took away a great deal of inspiration on how to help you find that special look that will welcome your guests into “your place” and celebration of love and your style!

Check out some of the images from Scott’s Decor & Design Session at NACE and you can surely see why he is a contender on the Design Star Show. Scott, we y’all loved you in Houston, TX and I am rooting for you!!

Have a Stylish Day!!

Dear Wedding Concierge-Do You Know of any good Planning Software?

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

Well, as a matter of fact, dear reader, “I Do”, as in “I Do Wedding Couple Edition” wedding planning software.

What I love about this particular software is it’s user friendly interface and integration with WORD, Email, Excel and the web. It is very intuitive and it will keep all your digital wedding files happy and that in turn will make you happy..which will make your wedding planner…VERY HAPPY:)!!

As a matter of fact, Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge also says “I Do” to the Wedding Professional version of this product to keep all of her weddings in check, on time and organized and her clients stress-free, secure and thrilled with an organized and beautiful wedding day as a result.

Whether you are working with a wedding planner (it makes it real easy to share information on the same software platform), or planning on your own, this software has all the tools from vendor contacts and management to keeping up with your tasks, RSVP’s and meal selections to your timeline and wedding budget management.

“I Do” Couples Edition has been rated 5 stars by countless download sites including Download.com and Tucows.com

Here is the best part, because Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge wants you to be a happy and stress-free couple, I have the ability to offer you a promotional code for a 10 % discount off the software when you order with the code “LVWC” at the “I DO” website. The regular retail price is $29.95.

“But wait, there’s more” (I can’t believe I am using that line, LOL!)

Elm Software (very nice people who also want you and me to be happy stress free planners and brides), have another product called PrintJobs that makes it a snap to create envelopes, cards, labels, etc. with the “I Do” software and M.S. Outlook. Even long after the wedding is over, it’s a great tool to have on your computer for doing your holiday cards, or any other printing tasks. This is also regular price of $29.95

You can get “such a deal” when you use the same code above for both products. Yes, I know I sound like a sales person here, but it strictly is passing on good information that I would pass to a friend…and you are a friend if you are visiting, right?

Ok, NOW, you can go ahead and hug your Wedding Planner and Have a Stylish Day:)!
