The Difference Between a Catering Manager and Wedding Planner (And Why Both Exist)

Juliet Douglas — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:00:18 +0000

I saw this on the Iris Fields Guide to Wedding and Event Planning blog and had to share it with my readers as well. Wedding Planner Mary Dann-McNamee recently wrote an article in Inside Weddings magazine on “The Ways a Catering Manager and Wedding Planner Differ.

My favorite quote: The jobs of both the wedding planner and the catering manager are extremely important entities for a large event, and need to be looked at as complementary forces, not as competitive ones. In that same vein, they each have separate and very different job functions and should not be depended upon do the job of the other.

The article includes a useful bullet point list of duties of both the wedding planner and catering manager so be sure to read the full article here.

This is where Digs Studio decided to surprise the bride and groom with a same day edit video. There was not a dry eye in the house and it was a great surprise to all! Check it out below:

Levity Gourmet Marshmallows

Juliet Douglas — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:00:46 +0000

Nostalgic treats are always a hit at weddings and other milestone celebrations. Cupcakes have been popular the last few years at weddings and so have sliders and mini french fries in cones for example. Sweet treats such as candy buffets and cookie bars have also been very popular at weddings and celebrations. But how about a marshmallow bar?

Levity Gourmet Marshmallows, located right here in Las Vegas, NV (well, technically Henderson, NV), recently launched their online gourmet marshmallow boutique. Owners Elisabeth Papadopoulos and Nathan Hollrith wanted to share their passion for marshmallows and believe that “marshmallows is the new cupcake”.

Current flavors include vanilla, cocoa, strawberry, mint, lemon, s’more (my personal favorite), peanut butter crunch, white chocolate chip macadamia nut, toasted coconut, and coffee caramel swirl. Be on the lookout for new flavors as they are always experimenting and developing new flavors.

Levity Gourmet Marshmallows are priced from $14 – $18 depending on the flavor for packages of 15. They are also available for wedding favors, custom orders, or larger quantities and are sold exclusively in their online store.

Follow Levity on Twitter and Facebook.

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, and I’m Getting Married Today!

Juliet Douglas — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:00:50 +0000

Ironically, we’re in the middle of another Las Vegas summer as I write this but always, always, always have a backup plan in case of inclement weather! Although it’s rare for us to move scheduled outdoor events inside in Las Vegas, it does happen once in awhile. Contrary to popular belief, we DO get harsh weather including winds up to 60 miles per hour, rain, hail, and even snow!

While we’re on the topic, it’s a great idea to get wedding insurance in case your wedding happens to fall on the one day Las Vegas experiences heavy snowfall…that actually sticks…and your guests are unable to drive to your wedding. Yes, it actually happened back in December of 2008 and traffic was at a standstill in some parts of town.

The Twilight Saga – Bella’s Wedding Dress – Spoiler Alert

Juliet Douglas — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:00:13 +0000

Yes, I’m a tad bit obsessed (and so is Angelica) with the Twilight Saga but it’s totally appropriate that I blog about this since it’s about a wedding and some wedding fashion. So this blog post is in honor of the Eclipse movie release today!

In Breaking Dawn, Bella and Edward get married! The wedding is an antique/vintage style wedding and the wedding dress will reflect an early 1900s style.

Here are a few of my favorite sketches from some well known fashion designers:

Christian Siriano -

Monique Lhuillier – mermaid style lace wedding gown with capped sleeves

Prabal Gurung -

Lela Rose -

Badgley Mischka – vintage gown with full length lace sleeves

Which are your favorites? Check out the article on InStyle.com for more sketches of Bella’s wedding dress.

Luxe Link Purse Holders – Bridal Party Gift Idea

Juliet Douglas — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:00:21 +0000

I never understood why women would put their handbags and purses on the ground. Maybe it’s the way I was raised (clean freak mom) but I cringed even when I see purses on a carpeted ground of someone’s clean home. Anyway, I’ve had my purse holder for a long time and have found it handy on many occasions! But it’s time for a new one…

Upon searching for a gift for my mom’s upcoming birthday on Cambria Cove’s website, I came across these adorable bridal themed purse holders! So, of course I had to check out the website of the creator Luxe Link™.

Love their saying: PURSE ON THE FLOOR – MONEY OUT THE DOOR!™

Each Luxe Link™ purse hook comes in a suede pouch. Check out my favorites below along with a cool diagram of how Luxe Link purse hooks works!

Follow Luxe Link™ on Twitter and visit them on Facebook. Check out the blog. **Impatiently awaiting the arrival of Luxe Link Hello Kitty.**
