Good Morning! I wanted to take the time to introduce myself to Melissa's wonderful followers. My name is Alicia. I am currently a 2nd term Senior at Johnson & Wales University. I am currently working on my Bachelor's Degree with the major of Sports/Entertainment/Event Management. I also have two minors one in Food & Beverage and the other is in History. I have a background in culinary arts of 3 years and I have been slowly introducing myself into the event planning industry for the past 3 years.

I wanted to say thank you to Melissa for taking me under her wing and giving me this wonderful opportunity. I can wait to meet with future clients of hers and see what opportunities come for the i-do details team.

Until Next Time,
Alicia

Well first off I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Alicia to the i do details...team

Alicia is a student at Johnson & Wales working on her Sports Entertainment & Event Management Degree
she will be with us through the Summer & Fall Semesters.

For everyone waiting on the Manzanita Branch Centerpieces........they are coming!!!! I know I originally said Mid May...I have spent quite a bit of time on perfecting the sample......the most important thing to me is safety as these are going to be used on Guest Tables.......after various trials of different vases, it appears that the safest way is going to be to use a plaster to keep them secure in the vases! So Thank You for all of your patience I will Post as soon as they are ready!!!

Here is an image of a Manzanita Branch Centerpiece (image courtsey of Wedding Aces)

Affordable Invitations

2010-04-08T09:51:00.000-07:00

So have you started to consider your invitations yet?

Selecting invitations can be very overwhelming, book after book, price after price it can be down right stressful.

A point I always try to make to my Bride's is this......determine how important your invitations are, as there are many kinds of invitations out there and a wide range of prices. Always remember 9 times out of 10 your guests recieve the invite and it sits on the fridge till the event and then in the trash it goes.....

Below is an example of a great affordable invitation style...it is called a seal and send

The response card tears away and only requires a postcard stamp.....the price range on these are great some even as low as $75 per 100

Although I understand this option may not be to everyone's liking, it is a great way to cut costs!

Here is an example of a seal and send invitation:

This particular invitations sells for about $125.90 per 100

Here you will find other samples of Seal and Send Invitations

Please visit the i do details...shop for all your wedding needs....Here

Finally the weather is changing!!

I had a great opportunity this weekend to meet with many lovely bride's at the Local i-dos Bridal Expo in Taunton......I was amazed at the amount of bride's just starting their planning, and looking for ideas....
Overall it was a great turn out!
The new website is complete.....I have a few minor tweaks and I will launch it ASAP...
So I am starting to see more and more new trends for 2010

So by trends, I mean to me what I am getting a large request for and or am seeing more and more of.

All things TEAL……teal seems to be a Hot color this year

Crystal, Crystals Crystals……..I mean I know let’s face it we all love our BLING but it seems as though we are leaning more to Crystals this year VS. Rhinestone…..

Also there have always been the topic of personalized theme…more and more I am still seeing this grow and become more and more creative

Tomorrow I will do a full post on ways to personalize your event…..
