A Bride’s blog from David Turera

Hi Everyone!!! My name is Shannon and I am 28 years old. I currently reside in a small town in Central Jersey called Highlands. We live about 1 mile from the beach. My fiance Anthony is a general manager/ executive chef for a large food service company and I am an office manager at a financial firm. I have an absolutely wonderful 5 year old boy named AJ. In my spare time I love to shop, go to the beach, visit NYC and spend quality time with friends and family.

How We Met…
After finally getting over a really bad relationship my mom insisted that I sign up for an online dating site. I was pretty resistant at first but I guess I had nothing to loose. After a month of searching I came across this profile that really caught my eye. Anthony just seemed to be so down to earth and genuine. After a couple weeks of chatting he took me out on the most amazing first date ever. So I guess the online thing really does work lol!!!

The Proposal…
As a little girl I grew up going to Traverse City, MI for family vacations every summer. Last year the family decided it was time to take a trip back. It was the 4th of July and we were all sitting out by the lake watching the fireworks. Anthony asked me if I was having fun and I said definately, in return I wanted to make sure he was having a good time and he responded “only one thing would thing would make this vacation better, would you marry me?” Well of course I said yes and here we are now planning our big day!!!

My Big Day…
Every little girl dreams of the big day!!! Especially me. I have always wanted a big wedding. I want flowers and candles to illuminate the whole room. I want the food and music to be great. I just want everyone to have a great time!!!

Wedding Trends for 2012 from Simply Bridal! What do you think?

Trends

At Simply Bridal, we’re always on the lookout for new and fresh dress trends. We’ve asked our designers to share the top five wedding dress trends that are making a splash right now. As new ideas develop, you’ll find details on the best trends right here.

Though weddings are steeped in tradition, the trend of the moment is personalization. A wedding allows you to expose and celebrate your identity, along with your fiancé’s. Everything from your venue to your cake toppers can provide an opportunity to share your story. You can even tell that story through your dress.

1. Get Shorty: In the world of fashion, the little black dress is iconic. Some brides are taking this look to the chapel. Short doesn’t mean tactless (though you should avoid the super-snug mini). Rather, the style is flirty, modern and youthful, and shows off your legs to boot.

2. Color Me Happy: Contrary to popular belief, brides do not have to wear white. (Finally!) Muted metallic colors are wildly popular among designers and brides. And don’t shy away from adding a splash of color to the bridal outfit: pink shoes or flecks of gold go far.

3. Intricate Detail: Dresses with a subtle dose of beadwork and lace are dominating the bridal runway. Detailed threads provide visual interest, and add a layer of luxury and splendor to the dress. Experiment with exquisite lace sleeves or a bead embroidered bodice.

4. The Big Time: Did you grow up dreaming about a fairytale wedding and a huge, princess gown? You’re in luck. Big is back, so don’t shy away from adding the oomph. Billowing A-Line and Ball Gown skirts are universally flattering; the wide skirt hides the hips.

5. Bed of Roses: Whether it’s small rosettes or large flower accents along the neckline, fabric flowers are back and big. The organic floral shapes are soft and feminine, and appeal to many earth-conscious brides. Consider a floral beaded neckline or draped floral sash.

So our beautiful brides!!!! what do you think? Does this sound like the trends for 2012? Let us know!

A Woman's Nation and A Day of Transformation

Serena — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:40:16 +0000

After attending The Woman’s conference and A Day of Transformation it was just incredible to see how women impact the world in so many ways. The times magazine title said “A Woman’s Nation” more than half of this nation’s workforce are women. We control 87% of this nations buying power. What was interesting for me to see is that everyone there agreed that it is not a power struggle between men and women. It is a partnership. Whether at a corporation, or a marriage, respect and trust were the top two ingredients for success!!!. The work some of the speakers do around the world to make it a better place was just humbling. This conference inspired me in so many ways, I’d love to help and share this with as many as can benefit from what I’ve experienced. Sean Corn, an international Yoga instructor was so inspiring and made it very clear that what you radiate is what you attract!!! So, be grateful, be giving and be thoughtful……………….

Madeleine K. Albright said, “there is a special place in hell……………. for women who don’t help women” ………….. I love helping people! that’s is probably why I love being a wedding planner. I love to help brides with one of the most important days of their lives. I love being able to make sure their dream wedding unfolds as planned……

I will share more of my experience as I dibrief myself…… way too much information for one post!
