$ Saving Tip for 2012 Weddings

Click here to check out a post by our very own Debra Harris of Visions by Debra on ClarksvilleNow.com. In this post, "Money Saving Tip for 2012 Weddings", Debra encourages brides and grooms to hire their wedding vendors as soon as possible. "This is the time of year that vendors began to reevaluate their fees. Hiring vendors before their prices increase can stretch your budget and insure their availability on your wedding day. The money you save can purchase other items needed for your celebration." -Debra Harris, Visions by Debra, ClarksvilleNow.com

"Jessica and Bryan's Wedding was really unique. The ceremony was on a moat at Walker Farms down by the river. They both did so much DIY decor for this day. Bryan even built the alter himself. I really love it when weddings have so many handmade personal touches. My favorite part of the wedding was the lanterns. All of the guests had so much fun and they sky was so magical." -laurakayphoto.comWe have a few of Laura's photos in this post but you can view more by clicking here and visiting the ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding OR you can click here to view more photos from Jessica & Bryan's special day on Laura Kay Photography's blog.Laura Kay Photography

Jennifer & Gavin: The Coordinator

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Jennifer & Gavin

Jennifer & Gavin hired Elements Event Planning and Design to help design and coordinate their wedding day. "Jenn and Gavin were a great couple!! Fun, energetic and ready to have a party! Jenn really wanted to have a contemporary flair at her reception, so we incorporated cream feathers, chinese lanterns, moss balls and gorgeous floral balls throughout the venue. Her colors of eggplant and olive were my favorite this season and made a huge statement. The bridesmaids were in plum and we used touches of olive and cream to create the perfect palette. The wedding day was flawless and their guests enjoyed the party the couple had hoped for!" -Terri Tenholder, Elements Event Planning and Design

Jennifer & Gavin: The Flowers

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Jennifer & Gavin

Jennifer & Gavin chose Helen's Flowers to create their wedding day floral arrangements. "Jennifer chose the traditional wedding color, white, and worked it into every bouquet, boutonniere, corsage and mass flower design. Yet she also wanted to use the rich, dark colors of eggplant and purple so we combined the two for a truly unique, creative color scheme for her September 17th wedding at Forest Street Methodist Church and reception following at Water Street Event Center.

Jennifer's bouquet was a tight, rounded mass of white spiders, green buttons, eggplant calla lilies, white hybrid lilies, purple stock and dark purple hydrangeas and veronica rimmed with galax leaves and hand-tied with white satin ribbon.

She carried that theme forward in her bridesmaid's bouquets of white lilies and purple stock. They were hand-tied in eggplant satin ribbon to match the girl's eggplant-colored dresses.

Forest Street Methodist Church is a small, but sweet, church compared to most. So the two mass designs that we placed on the altar filled the area where the bride and groom took their vows. They stood in cream-colored urns on white pedestals with curly willow reaching to the sky. Again, white hydrangea, white stock, and white roses were accented with purple stock, larkspur and green spiders. Going to the reception guests were greeted by tall white table designs in all white stock, larkspur, spiders, roses, snapdragons and hydrangea but with the addition of large
white feather plumes! They were sassy and had a very festive flair to them atop glass containers.

It is always a pleasure to work with young women who have their own unique style and want you to show their creativity for them on their most special day. Women should never be afraid to choose their favorite mementos, dress or combination of colors to create wedding day memories that will last forever." -Helen Morris, Helen's Flowers

My SendOutCards

Blog submitted by Danielle Lear, Turning Point Productions

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Michael Sparks of Those Card Folks to get the down low on the SendOutCards system. I'm not gonna lie - I wasn't 100% sure what exactly the system was, so I was happy to have this opportunity to learn what it was all about. First of all, I totally wasted Michael's time asking him to sit down and show me the system! It's incredibly user friendly and easy to operate. They even have step-by-step tutorial videos to help take you through the system.

If you go the the Those Card Folks website, thosecardfolks.com, on the top of the right hand column, there's a link that you can click to send your own free card (via Those Card Folks), so that's what I did! After watching the first video (it's short and sweet - promise!), I created a login and password, chose a card, entered my recipient's (aka my nephew's) name and address, and sent the card. What I think is really great about the system is that it stores your contacts in your own little database. This is such an incredibly valuable resource for brides and grooms. You are most likely going to send save the date cards, wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations, many, many thank you cards, etc. All you have to do is enter the info once and you are good to go. Even after the wedding, you have this great list of all your friends and families addresses so it's easy to send Christmas cards, birth announcements :), etc.

All in all, it was SO easy (and FREE) to try out the SendOutCards system. It's definitely worth a few minutes just to head over to the Those Card Folks site, check out the system and send your free card.
