Happy Anniversary to Randi and Whitney!! One year this weekend, boy how time flies. So I have to share with you my story about Randi! I?ve known Randi now for a little over two years, what a sweet girl. I helped her design her wedding and pull all the details together for her special day. I laugh because Randi and Whitney are the tallest couple I have ever known in my entire life. Every time they would come into the office, I would have to get on tip toes just to give them a hug (that was even with my high heels on!). The wedding was so beautiful, she was absolutely stunning (see the pictures, WOW), but our story continued. Randi knew she just loved planning her wedding and was a bit sad when it was over. After her special day was over, she decided to take my wedding planning course I offered last summer. I was NOT surprised when she found herself loving every minute and eating up the design part of planning. She was truly a natural at those checklists (that is the teacher in her). After the class was over, that is when my big AHA moment happened! Why not ask her to come on staff here at CCP and be my assistant at my events. Needless to say, the rest is history and Circle City Weekenders was born. Randi now runs our weekend division helping brides pull all of those last minute details together. She loves it and now is going to be working on a more full-time basis for us here at CCP. We are so thankful for her talents and Whitney?s patience as she transitions out of one career into this new one. I?m sure you have seen the cute pictures of this amazing couple, now what?s the next chapter for her? Rumor has it maybe BABIES?! Thanks Randi and Whitney for coming into our lives! Happy Anniversary to you!

Earth Day is next week on the 22nd and even though I have discussed this before, I am currently working on several ?Eco-Chic? projects, so I was juiced up to talk about it again! I have always wanted to be as green as possible in my work, and one would think that working with flowers would automatically make you an Earth Friendly person. But, there are so MANY things that need to be considered! When you are planning your wedding with a ?green? theme in mind, here are some floral rules of ?thumb?.
If you purchase your flowers from a local florist who uses wholesalers or orders direct from other countries, you are guaranteed to be using products that have been heavily sprayed with pesticides in order to cross our border, and have used several modes of transportation, leaving their carbon footprint on our Earth.
Choosing flowers that are grown locally at the time of year you plan to be married severely reduces that carbon footprint. Local farmers don?t need to use as many pesticides because they are not nearly as mass produced, and have less distance to travel.
Farmer?s markets are a great resource for inexpensive flowers, but you have less selection, and would need to plan to do your own flowers. If you want your florist to put on the show, ask them what products they buy locally instead of what?s shipped in.
In early springtime, not much has started blooming; consider forcing your own bulbs over the winter so they are ready to go come spring.
If you are getting married in the winter, you will find Indiana isn?t growing ANYTHING green so, this is the time you consider creating centerpieces out of natural products like branches, evergreens, berries, and dried flowers. Soy candles with local made evergreen wreaths make for beautiful centerpieces!
When creating your centerpieces, be sure your florist does not use floral foam, plastics, or any chemicals to treat the flowers.
Wrap bouquets in natural, organic materials like sisal, burlap or hemp.
Recycle all glassware, rent vases from a florist so they are reused, or allow guests to take them home so they can be re-enjoyed.
If you can find some help in achieving this, have all your flowers from the wedding be taken to local charities, hospices, or non-for profits so they may be used again instead of wasted.
Ask your florist if they compost their discarded flowers.
Adding eco-chic FABULOSITY to your flowers, Tiffany!

Thanks to industry image stylists and consultants, many celebrities have learned to accentuate the positive using glam tips regarding hair, color and fashion style in order to put their best face and foot forward. On your wedding day, you will be the celebrity. Glam Up Your Wedding Day Look Like the Stars Do, and shine like a star.
Know Your Body Type - Accentuate the positive! Play up your best feature. Ball gowns work best on body shape types that have a narrow waist and nicely prominent hips. Empire, A-Line and T-Length gowns and dresses compliment most body shapes, and flows away from the body to form a slight ?A? figure. From the full-figure to the petite, these styles are classic, and commonly accommodating. The Mermaid or Fishtail gown is typically well fitting, and best suits body shapes with small busts and small waists, while enhancing the hips. Many gowns look beautiful on the hanger. But finding the one that shows off your assets while detracting from the areas you?d rather not accentuate, is the one that will cause jaws to drop, and will leave an indelible mark on your guests.
Select Your Suitable Color - Wear colors in tones that are suggestive of your day, classy, glamorous, sexy, modern, contemporary, or traditional. While you want to wear colors that polish your pretty, the tone helps to give you more flexibility. Coordinating complimentary colors adds impact.
Wedding Hairstyle ? Ensure that your coiffe compliments (not conflicts with) your entire profile and style, (ie. your gown, makeup and face structure).
Wedding Vintage Flair, Classic Style in 2010 ? This season?s bridal fashions transcend time and dictate the current trend, and have many brides opting for vintage-inspired gowns, and accessories. The look is the look of glamour and haute couture, as seen on the runway and in celebrity weddings these days. Be creative, resourceful and frugal by shopping boutiques, vintage and consignment shops. Don?t rule out great purchases at exclusive designer houses for unique fashions. Whatever your budget, shoe-string, or unlimited, these options are sure to satisfy your fashion flair and style palette.
Putting Your Good Foot Forward- It is just as important to make sure that your shoes fit properly, and are as comfortable as they are fabulous. They ought to be comfortable enough for you to walk around in for a few hours without compromising good foot health. There is nothing worse than seeing someone dressed beautifully, but walking like they are on hot coals because of aching feet. Foot health is very important. Be kind to your feet and they will be kind to you. Alternatively, you can slip into more comfortable wedding slippers at the reception, after your wedding planner bustles your gown, altered with the shoe adjustment in mind. A good wedding planner will help you with these options. Likewise, if you plan to change your attire later on during the reception, you may want apply these healthy tips so that you can dance the night away!
Star Quality Bride - Own your look, your style, your flair and your aura. Polish your inner self by praying, eating right, drinking plenty of water regularly, exercising, and getting plenty of rest while enjoying your engagement. It will cause you to glow outside, as it will inwardly promote fitness and a healthy attitude with star-like qualities. Live healthy and glamorous and you will shine like a star on your big day, and everyday.
Wishing you LIFE and LOVE,

It?s modern, it?s chic, it?s classic, it?s romantic, its girlie, but not TOO girlie, it?s summery, it?s stunning, it?s bold, but not overdone, and it?s simply screaming FABULOSITY!!!!!
