Wedding Planner’s Nightmare

Auto Date Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Staging a wedding is stressful, especially for a professional planner. Wedding planners are tasked with the challenge of making dreams come true on one of the most important days in two peoples’ lives. There are so many details that must be attended to and so many people to rely on to make it happen. While the wedding itself is often a mixture of pageantry, whimsy, and tradition, the real drama can sometimes take place behind the scenes.

Wedding planners have to be logistical wizards. They must mesh the services of multiple vendors and attend to intricate details with each one, all while adhering to the happy couple’s vision and budget for their perfect day. Caterers, musicians, event location staff, transportation service, and florists are just a few of the service providers involved in the big event. Each vendor must deliver impeccable, error-free service, on time and in the right place.

One often overlooked detail that is key to a trouble-free wedding party is the dance floor. Imagine for a moment that you have attended to every detail and wish of the bride and groom. You found a florist who had the right shade of roses to match the bride’s eye shadow, the baker has re-created the Eiffel Tower in excruciating detail, and the happy couple will say “I Do” just as the sun sets over the horizon. The big day arrives, you run through your final checklist, and you allow yourself a small sigh of relief when you verify everything is on track.

The wedding has gone exactly as planned and the reception is now in full swing. You finally allow yourself to breathe normally as you watch the guests happily dancing on the beautiful wood floor. Then, as you turn to check in with the bartender, you hear a shriek and a loud commotion. The bride’s Aunt Sally has fallen on the dance floor. You rush over to help and see that one of the seams in the floor has come apart. Aunt Sally tripped, fell, and broke her hip!

If Aunt Sally had been dancing on a Master Portable Floor, you would have ended your night pleasantly rather than in the emergency room.

There is no greater nightmare than an accident at what has otherwise been a perfect and enjoyable event. An accident not only has emotional consequences but financial ones as well. Risk management is an important part of business. You want to eliminate or minimize risks through careful planning. While you cannot prevent someone from falling because they have imbibed a little too much champagne, you can certainly avoid being liable for a fall because of faulty flooring.

Portable floors are a convenient and beautiful solution for a wedding. A portable floor can turn a simple lawn into a swinging disco. Hardwood floors lend just the right touch to an elegant or casual event. However, not all floors are created equal, and making the wrong choice could ruin your event.

Some floors have been known to simply come apart with the movement caused by dancing, just like it did for poor fictional Aunt Sally. Borders that rise above the panel surface are another common problem in portable flooring. These borders are often metal and enclose each individual floor panel. Even if it is only slightly above the panel, it is enough to catch a heel and cause injury.

In addition to avoiding the hazards of a bad floor, you also want comfort. Dancing on a rigid, inflexible floor is stressful on the body, particularly hips and joints. The floor should have a bit of spring for maximum comfort. Finally, the type of wood also makes a big difference in a floor. Many floors are made with oak. Oak is beautiful but does not make a good choice for portable flooring. It has large pores where dirt and grime can collect, causing the floor to become rough. Dancing on a rough floor is not only unpleasant but also hazardous.

Master Portable Floors are floors made for safe dancing. The floors are made with hardwood maple, which has a smooth, tight grain and tiny pores so the finish does not become rough. Maple is also durable so the floors last a long time.

Master Portable Floors have a patented connector plate which holds the floor in place so they do not separate or “walk”. The floors also do not have any sharp edges, or exposed metal. An extra advantage is the unique flexing action. Each panel has been engineered with a flex action. The floor gives just enough and springs back and makes you feel like you are gliding on air.

With a Master Portable Floor, wedding guests can dance in comfort and safety. We can’t guarantee that our floors will make you a better dancer, but we can guarantee that you won’t find a safer or more comfortable floor!

This article was contributed by Master Portable Floors. Master Portable Floors is the floor of choice by professional dancers. The floors have been rated highest quality by the American Swing Dancing Association and the Ball Room Dancing Association. Master Portable Floors has a unique flex action that provides a comfortable dancing surface that reduces hip and joint injuries.

Now, it is also important to realize that these best friends are a trusty parachute and resource, and not to be taken for granted. You have a responsibility to safely shield them.

Make sure to honor not only their efforts, but also their point of view when you ask for their opinion. Treat your best friends like the worthy endeavor they are, and insure their safety. After all, it’s difficult enough to find and keep good friends–much less best friends.

Planning The Perfect Wedding Day, Don’t Forget You Know Who!

Auto Date Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Planning your wedding can be the busiest time of your life, so
much to do and organize. Does your partner feel neglected?
Wedding planning can be very time consuming.

Some males just don’t want to know all the details, others want
to be in on everything. Either way, you can find the going not
so smooth.

A little bit of time out together can work wonders, for you too,
a break from being the wedding planner can recharge your
batteries.

Why not just your and your groom get away from it all?

Like

A romantic dinner for two, budget might be tight, but it’s
amazing what a few tea lights, perfumed candles, even comfy
cushions around the coffee table, soft music in the background,
good wine, you in something stunning and the food could be
scramble eggs on toast, he wouldn’t notice

A walk along the beach in the late afternoon, just as the sun is
setting

Send him an e-card, it will brighten his day.

Go dancing

A drive in the country, have lunch at a country pub, away from
everything.

I’m sure you can think of many more things you can do, the
important thing is that it is just the two of you and no wedding
talk.

There will be many other times during the organizing of your
wedding where you can get his advice or ask his opinion. So keep
these special times for just you and your love.

One of these times will be when you decide on your wedding vows.
What will you say to each other, what does this wonderful
person, the one you are going to spend the rest of your life
with mean to you, how do you put it into words.

There are books that can help you, give you some starters. You
may have a special song that you can take some of the lines
from, a special poem.

These will be very special words, so need careful choosing. This
may best be done away from all the hustle and bustle of the
wedding arrangements. Why not get away to a romantic spot,
somewhere overlooking the beach or a country hideaway.

Whatever you do, make sure your groom to be is not neglected or
feeling neglected during all the preparations. They can be very
sensitive you know, even if they won’t admit it.

Enjoy your special day, and may your future together be
wonderful.

Wedding Cake Toppers

Auto Date Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

A skilled cake designer can come up with an endless spectrum of wedding cake toppers. They can come in any shape or form, the most common ones being the figurines of the bride and the groom, doves, daisies, roses, interlocking hearts, wedding rings, or flowers in a basket; the list is endless. The materials used for toppers can be anything, ranging from glass and porcelain to crystal or a wide range of other materials. Also, wedding cake toppers can be kept as a wedding day souvenir, and are at most times good enough pass off as a showpiece for your drawing room.

For those planning a theme wedding, wedding cake toppers can augment the atmosphere of the wedding reception. A skilled hand can replicate the wedding dress on top of the cake. For fairytale-themed weddings, a replica of the Cinderella glass slipper or a figurine of “Snow White” would be just about perfect; or, for that matter, a small figure of a dragon or a castle. Beach and marine themed weddings can give the wedding cake designer plenty of room to exercise his creativity. The wedding cake toppers can come in a plethora of forms then, like dolphins, seahorses, mermaids, lighthouses or more. For medieval-themed weddings, you can use a miniature knight and maiden as toppers.

A winter wedding also gives the cake designer plenty to work with. For example, crystal snowflakes or snow people can sit atop the cake. Though other materials can be used, glass seems perfect for this theme, as it can reflect the light like icicles. For those from military backgrounds, wedding toppers can be quite intricate. A naval wedding, for instance, can do with an anchor behind the figures of the groom and the bride. For the military wedding, two sabers crossed and placed behind the miniature figures of the couple would be ideal. For Western-themed weddings, cake toppers can range from horses and cows to the cowboy and cowgirl as the bride and groom.

Wedding Flowers For Less

Auto Date Friday, April 11th, 2008

Weddings are very expensive. If you are looking for ways to cut wedding expenses you may want to consider the flowers.

Even if you want to have the flowers provided by a rather expensive florist there are ways to cut back. If you want flowers that are unique or created by a pricey florist but still need to shave a little from the floral budget you can consider fewer flowers and arrangements. Use the florist of your dreams but order less.

If you need to trim more from the floral expenses consider flowers from a local grocery store floral department. Many stores have excellent floral arrangers and they will work with you to create beautiful floral designs.

Let’s say neither of the above suggestions is going to work but you still want to have fresh flowers. You can order flowers and put the bouquets together yourself. Or maybe you have a friend or relative who could help with this project. You also could check into hiring a student who is taking classes in floral arranging. Many community colleges offer these courses and the student may also be able to purchase fresh flowers at cost.

Many people are very happy with wedding floral arrangements created from silk flowers. If you are creative you can design the bouquets yourself. You may also know someone who can help you with the arrangements. Gather your friends together for an evening of flower bouquet preparations. Have all the flowers and supplies ready, provide some food and have a flower arranging party.

Weddings are expensive but you can cut the cost and still have gorgeous flowers for your special day.

Wedding Favor Ideas - Finding The One You Love

Auto Date Monday, April 7th, 2008

Wedding favor ideas can be as elusive as the perfect man - you
can spend forever looking for the right one amongst a whole
range that just don’t seem quite right! Traditional wedding
favor ideas might seem a little too predictable, or just not
quite what you had imagined. So how can you think up wedding
favor ideas that are just right for you?

First of all, don’t write off all traditional wedding favor
ideas too quickly - they have earned their traditional wedding
favors ideas status by proving ever popular. Perhaps the perfect
wedding favor idea for you and your spouse might be a
traditional one, but with a personal twist of your own.

Instead of the traditional candle wedding favor idea, you might
choose a novelty shaped candle that represents something
personal to you. Gardeners might enjoy the wedding favor idea of
a candle flower in a pot, while animal lovers might like a dog
or cat shaped candle.

You will want your favors to be as unique and special as your
wedding day, and what better way to find wedding favor ideas
than the ones you create yourself. Make your own wedding favors
ideas can be difficult to come up with, but the trick is to
create something that is representative of you.

Think of make your own wedding favors ideas that speak to your
own talents, or those of your spouse - card makers might create
a commemorate booklet, while musicians could produce a CD, or
even write a special song. The best make your own wedding favors
ideas are those that will remind your guests of something
special about you and your new spouse.

If all else fails, a good way to come up with new wedding favors
ideas is to look at what others have used in the past - tried
and tested wedding favor ideas are often the best! Think about
weddings you have attended in the past - what did you, as a
guest, love and hate about particular wedding favor ideas?

Just remember to find the wedding favor ideas that are
meaningful to you. Because your guests will love your favor, so
long as it reminds them of you and your special day.

Looking for wedding favor ideas isn’t easy, but worth it to get
it right.

Prenuptial Agreements

Auto Date Saturday, April 5th, 2008

“Til death do us part” is still the language used in most weddings. Couples enter marriage with the hope of making a lifetime commitment. If this goal is not reached or if a spouse dies, the desire to be a couple is so ingrained that most will marry again.

The inability of the marriage laws to meet the needs of many couples makes the concept of a marital agreement quite positive, despite the bad publicity premarital agreements have reached. The freedom to structure a relationship should not be determined by laws that do not reflect the changing realities of family life in American today.

There is no firm tradition of marital contracts in our country because of the inherent resistance of comparing love to a business deal. Many civilized societies through the ages, however, have documented marital agreements with written documents.

Celebrities and the media have made couples aware of the concept of a contract executed between a married couple, whether terming it a premarital, prenuptial, antenuptial or postmarital agreement. The rich have known about them for years, but middle-class America, alarmed about the rising divorce rate, is anxious to know more.

Who Needs Them?

Anyone about to enter a marriage who is concerned about the inadequacies of the laws in the face of today’s social realities;

Anyone who is remarrying;

Anyone concerned about protecting the assets of children from a prior marriage;

Anyone who has a financially dependent parent;

Business owners, particularly of professional practices and particularly those with business partners, because a spouse effectively becomes a silent partner in the business;

Anyone with significant separate property in states where a spouse is entitled to a share of income from separate property.

Anyone whose intended spouse has significant premarital responsibilities, such as alimony, child support, or tax obligations.

Anyone cautious enough to prefer a written record of the ownership of assets to avoid confusion in the future from creditors or other family members.

It’s not romantic; it’s practical. And limiting a spouse’s take upon divorce is far from the only purpose, despite the perception gleaned from the popular press. Doesn’t it make sense to make decisions under the best of circumstances instead of during the emotional upheaval of a troubled relationship?

As with most things, there’s good news and bad news about private marital contracts. The openness needed for such an agreement is good for a relationship; the implication of a lack of trust is bad. A marital contract can avoid expensive and emotionally debilitating divorce trials, but it’s expensive to enforce any contract in court. Such an agreement will reduce to writing the agreement for division of property upon divorce, although it can prevent a spouse from obtaining marital rights upon divorce.
