I am receiving many inquires about how to watch the picture slideshows again after it has ended.  It is really easy…once you come to the below image (see below) locate the “X” in the top right corner and click on it, the slideshow will start over.  Now how simple was that!

When ever I meet with new couples that ask me to help them find wedding vendors, I ask them to do a couple “homework assignments.”  One of the assignments to ask as many married couples what was the best part of their wedding day, and what things do they regret about their wedding day.  Overwhelming the responses gathered are typically, “we should have hired a professional wedding coordinator” (thank you!) and/or “we should have hired a professional Videographer.” 

There is nothing like being able to watch your wedding video each year on your anniversary, or to share your video with family and friends that could not have been there on your special day. One of my favorite reasons why a couple hired a professional Videographer was to be able to play their wedding video for their future children, now how special is that!  

If you haven’t selected your Videographer, look into Hybrid Moon Productions.  I highly recommend this team of trained professionals that have a variety of packages to work with any budget.  Couples, please consider all the possibilities of having a wedding video and don’t let this be one of your regrets, it is worth it!  Watch the video from Portland’s finest Wedding Videographer, Hybrid Moon Productions explain why to hire a Videographer.

Most peonies are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 meters tall, but some are woody shrubs up to 1.5–3 meters tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.

The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where it is called 牡丹 (mǔ dān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fuguihua) “flower of riches and honour”, and is used symbolically in Chinese art.  In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower.

According to the Language of Flowers, mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony thus causing this magnificent flower to be given the meaning of bashfulness. Once planted the Peony likes to be left alone and punishes those who try to move it by not flowering again for several years. Once established, however, it produces splendid blooms each year for decades.

Tuesday evening The World Trade Center hosted our monthly

Association of Bridal Consultants and Vendors meeting (a.k.a “ABC”).  It was a HOT 92 degrees yet we were completely shaded in WTC’s courtyard as we shipped Blue Hawaiians from a tiki ice luge designed by ABC member Creative Ice.   The Prop Shop supplied our Hawaiian themed backgrounds and trees to frame our entertainment of the evening, Hawaiian singer Francis Doo with NW Artist Management.   Thanks to the ladies from Sweet Dreams Bridal Consultants and Simply Elegant Events for planning a great meeting.
