On wedding days I carry a LARGE emergency kit that has everything that I, the bride, bridal party or family may need. Everything from double sided tape to a portable steamer – no detail is missed. The Wedding Day Survival kit is the next best thing if you don’t have a wedding planner or day of coordinator who carries their own emergency kit on your big day.

This emergency kit will have you breathing a sigh of relief. Take on your wedding day in style and a whole host of potential emergencies with confidence. This chic, reusable train case contains 30 must-have items to keep your day running smoothly. You will be able to tackle any last minute fiasco- including wardrobe malfunctions- with this trusty case on hand. Topped with a white satin ribbon and a novelty diamond ring, this kit makes a perfect and thoughtful bridal shower gift for a busy bride to be. She will be thanking you for emergencies defused on her big day!

Only $49 and we here @ Posh Productions Event Planning and Design can order one for you. Something else we can take off of your “To Do” list. After all, you have enough to think about.

Light on your feet? Shoes for every bridal budget

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 03:35:33 +0000

I LOVE shoes. I was a 3 shoe bride myself and if I could I would have bought 10 pairs for the big day.After all, you can never have too many shoes. I have seen many different kinds of bridal shoes and I love when brides do something unique and different. For example: Check out the red sequin shoes the whole bridal party wore for this wedding? Very fun. The bride loves red and wanted to wear red shoes and incorporate her favourite color.Also great for formal pictures and a nice unique touch.Also a good idea for “something blue” if you can’t figure out how to have that “something blue” item and you want to stick to tradition, Why not try some dazzling blue numbers on your feet?

Enclosed are some beautiful shoes for all budgets. Not everyone can afford the Manolos however with so many companies making bridal shoes, you can easily find one or 5 pairs that fits your budget. After all, it’s so hard to pick just one.

HIGH: Super-girly, with a healthy dose of sex appeal, these silver satin and rhinestone sandals by Martinez Valero ($203) will set your mister’s heart aflutter!	LOW: Fun, flirty and affordable, these silver satin peep-toe pumps by Gossip ($60) are topped with the perfect finishing touch—a rhinestone bow.
HIGH: Splurge on a pair of designer shoes, like these elegant nude satin, crystal-embellished pumps by Christian Louboutin ($668) for the big day. The iconic vibrant red soles will make your stroll down the aisle extra-special.	LOW: If a pointy-toe pump is your style of choice, opt for these glamorous yet budget-conscious beauties by Town Shoes ($125). In pearly leather with rhinestone trim, these d’Orsay pumps will add just the right amount of pizzazz to your bridal ensemble.
HIGH: Show off your pedicure in these gorgeous silver leather peep-toe sandals by Brian Atwood ($695). This perfect pair is finished with refined pleats and a sparkly crystal brooch.	LOW: These stylish open-toe pumps by Spring ($50) embody high-fashion style on a low budget! At this price, why not treat all your bridesmaids to a great pair of shoes for the big day?
HIGH: Prada ivory leather 'Flair' ballet flats ($250). Perfect for dancing the night away.	HIGH: Smooth Silk satin Sandal by Jimmy Choo ($550) to show off that pedicure. The bottoms of the shoe have an anti slip grip so perfect for keeping your balance and not slipping on your couture dress.
LOW: Affordable vintage inspired shoes.Embellished silver slingback sandal by Nina ($100).

The last is one of the 3 pairs I wore on my wedding day. They tied up with satin straps and had a pretty bow in the back while the ankle part had Swarovski crystals and were only an inch and a half high.Perfect for dancing. My feet thanked me for not going way too high. Comfort is the key.

Happy Shopping

What’s a cake without a few tiers?

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:54:41 +0000

I am a HUGE fan of dessert. This is no secret. When a bride asks me my thoughts on cake, I ask her to take me to the cake tasting. After all it’s my job as a wedding planner. Not only is taste and flavour important, the look of your wedding cake is at the top of the list. Many couples will have a cake that reflects their wedding theme. Whether it be your wedding colors,a pattern or even a shared interest you two may have. The possibilities are endless. Here is some great looking cakes to get your inspired and probably even a little hungry.

My FAV is the Chanel purse cake. How much fun would that be for a bridal shower?
