I did a little one on one interview with one of my beloved friend, client and event planner Courtney McDonald of Petals Planning. Being in the same industry we often refer back and forth with brides and clients that may need our expertise. It helps to know someone personally and know what they are capable of providing for your clients.
Petals Planning is wonderfully priced and do able especially for your day of. Being an on sight person and providing a service the day of an event I often see the craziness, things forgotten and the need for many extra hands. So why not have the go to. Answer all. Make you not crazy on your day girls.
Check out what Courtney has to say.
“Most brides have been planning their wedding (at least in their head) for years before the actual engagement. Weddings are among the best and most joyous days of a couples life. All eyes are on the bride, and her fantastic wedding. So why would any bride want to spend her wedding day making sure her florist, DJ or band, linens, chair covers, caterers, musicians, stylist, make up artist, photographer, bridesmaids, groomsmen, guest book, favors, menus, programs, and lighting, just to name are few, are on time and set up appropriately? And then what about returning the rentals and cleaning up? What happens to the card box, guest book, and gifts?
Answer: They wouldn’t.
Solution: Hire a “Day Of” Coordinator.
The reality is, it’s not in the budget. What is a bride on a tight budget to do?
My recommendation…Hire Petals Planning Company. Courtney & Kate are not only amazing people, but will make your day completely stress free. ”Day Of” Coordination starts at $300 and includes:
-Review of your “Day Of” timeline
-Confirmation of your vendors the week before
-Handling the corsages and pinning boutonnieres
-Ensuring a timely start
-Lining up the bridal party
-Helping organize guests for the bride & grooms exit
-Transporting items from the church to the reception
-Set up of place cards, guest book, favors, candles, ceremony items at the reception
-Guiding and directing guests throughout the day
-Delivery of card box and gifts to appropriate friend or family member
** Clean up and return of rental items is extra**
Mention The Bliss Book when booking your “Day Of” Coordination and receive the above services for $225!!!!

We had the magnificent opportunity to do a photo shoot for Travelhost Wedding Guide for Genesee County, MI. Our excitement is that we are in print again after publishing our first work The Bliss Book, now we are proudly on someone else’s cover.
I wanted to share our shoot details with you because we had some great vendors involved and honestly it was a fun time and you might be inspired by the look we created. We had some major last minute venue changes, time restrictions and little time to do this but we pulled it together and rocked.
The venue was the Woodfield Banquet Center in Grand Blanc, MI. This is the location where My Big Fat Genesee Wedding ~ Wedding Show will be held this year, the date is January 24th. It’s a very unique and beautiful facility to have a great wedding. Check it out!
Stay tuned because we will be brining you the details as to where we found our inspiration on how we created both the hair and make-up looks. Don’t forget to share the love and comment!

The flowers we decided on white, cream & greens. A mix to go with either season. My girls and Thrifty Florist are awesome Shelly or Angela (734) 973-5585 http://www.thriftyflorist.com I threw the vintage brooch on, YAY!

Tis the season of bridal planning events. It’s time for you to start planning your perfect event so find your perfect wedding show take your mother, maid of honor, your wedding planner or your fiance if he is a planner himself. You can meet your local vendors personally and sometimes they will offer special booking deals at the event. Don’t forget to stay for the giveaways because they can be quite good and you don’t want to miss them.

Check out the dress so pretty the color and design. I wish I could have worn this dress as a bridesmaid. The dress can be found at Elegant Lady Bridal Oak Park, MI.

This is a look straight from The Bliss Book...little girls with curls are my favorite and most practical. We placed a braid at the bottom back for fun. Look how pretty and sweet she looks.

Who ever thought of parasols is genius what a beautiful idea. I love them you can even get them personalized.

A great style for a bride, bridesmaid or for a formal event. This is the back view of the parasol bride.

A fun way to place your curly hair~pile it high let some trail. Another inspired look from The Bliss Book.

All of the flowers, including the bouquets, were provided by Uniquely Yours flower shop in Northville, MI.

Gwen's cakes are yummy...I was at another event with her, love her white cake with vanilla creme. She is located in Saline, MI check out my vendor tag on a more detailed blog post about her.

She was so fabulous, I just had to take a picture with her. The veil was so perfect with this hairstyle, so grand and elegant.

Perfect match the straight cut dress, high structured hair, striking birdcage with pizzazz. Even in the back the pins were left. Girls your Bridal salon will be so helpful in helping you choose your veil/pins and your stylist will be helpful in placing them. No worries we will help you make your decisions.

She was so beautiful. This is a veil choice I am loving right now, with the flower or you can choose other options such as a brooch or hair pins. Her hair was very structured but it allows her face to show, the flower to be showcased and her veil to flow. The look is so soft and elegant.
Do you have wedding hair fears and questions?

Gwen’s Cake Decorating & Etc:
So I had Gwen’s cake and I had like two pieces. So good and usually wedding cake is to sweet for me but I had her white cake with the peanut butter creme filling and it was good. Then I had taken a piece home for my husband and I was so hungry and just wanted a taste to see how the vanilla creme tasted. Seriously I ate the whole piece on the way home and then told my husband, what a pig. This cake was delic, moist and tasted like cake and you know why it’s because she doesn’t freeze them. It had texture like homemade cake and the butter creme frosting was yummy for all of you who love butter creme. Check out her website ,Gwen’s Cake Decorating, she has picture choices, cupcakes & cookies too. She has at least 19 different cake flavors and 13 filling choices. Gwen’s cake decorating is located in Saline, MI .

Chef House Catering:
YUMMY! Traver Lucas brought with him a cucumber sorbet and you would never think of such a thing. I thought at first it would be a different taste but it was sweet and had the clean taste of cucumber. It was so simple and light I could have eaten a whole bowl full, I am craving it now. They suggested it would be a perfect dish for a shower or a brunch. Chef House Catering located in Canton, MI , is a personal chef service that will come to handle your event.
