WEDDINGS...by JANE

LUV IT!!! Now this is a great guest book!

Now who ever thought of this guest book must have had the same reasoning I did.

Why do you need a guest book?  You sent the invitations so you've gathered all the names and

addresses already.  The guest book is something that causes a long line at the reception but this

one is not only practical it's easily filled out during the night.  You could even put some of the

roledex cards on the guests table and ask your DJ or band leader to remind people to fill them out so

the bride and groom will have an up to date Roledex.  Vendors can also fill them out so the couple

will have their contact info for recommendations.  Wouldn't it be great to have an updated Roledex

that you didn't have to fill out.  Love this idea!!!   The Wedding Roledex!

In my email today; LUV IT - and everyone who knows me knows how much I crochet!

THE SHOE BOX

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years.
They had shared everything. They had talked about everything.
They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little
Old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had
Cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.


For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but
One day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said
She would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took
Down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what it was
In the box, when he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls
And a stack of money totaling $95,000.

He asked her about the contents.

'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me
The secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that
If I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two
Precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two
Times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
Happiness.

'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money?
Where did it come from?'

'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'


A Prayer.......
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death,
Because I don't have time to crochet.

LUV IT!

Picture it - Luv the Color Combo

What a great way to visualize your wedding colors especially when you have a combination.

Inspiration boards come in so handy for those of us who just can't see the big picture.  I may have to

make some combos of my own and hang them around the store.

Black Tights with a Pink Wedding Gown?

I've always loved Black and Pink together but never thought of it for the Bride.  Sure looks like a fun wedding. Check it out at Wild Weddings. You gotta LUV IT!

Cake Toppers

I haven't posted any cakes that I LUV lately but came upon this Inspiration Board on Bridal Canvas and thought it would give my brides "food  cake for thought".  Sorry I couldn't resist.

LUV IT!

Cake toppers can add a real cute touch, portraying personalities of the couple.

Who would have thought? Donate your Aisle Runner?

I just love Bridget and her thoughtfulness and creativity from I-Do-Weddings in Cincinnati, and found this post on her blog The I-Do View.  Something I would have never thought of but something others might consider.  Ask around your area rather than throwing out those beautiful or even plain runners.

Bridget, did I tell you I started my wedding planning career in Mt. Healthy, a northern suburb of CINCY eons ago. 

 

Recycled Aisle Runners help brides go green while feeding the hungry!

• BY Bridget

I received a call today from Helen Fox, a volunteer for Granny’s Garden School. The group has a program where they charge a minimal fee to give gardeners all they need to succeed in growing enough food for their family with enough left over for a food pantry donation. One of the items they provide to families is a frost cloth to cover the plants as temperatures drop. Helen said the aisle runners from weddings make the perfect frost cloths. If you have a wedding coming up and would like to donate your aisle runner after the big day, please drop it off at the i-do Boutique in Obryonville. We will make sure your donation helps those in need. For more info on Granny’s Garden School, check out their website at http://grannysgardenschool.com/

LUV IT

Came across this on Daily Candy and since I'm of the Tarzan and Jane generation with the name of Jane, this hit home.  When I was deciding what direction to take my working life while raising my children I did alot of handy work around my neighborhood.  I wasn't into house cleaning or babysitting by HandyWoman seemed to be my claim to fame at the time.  My drill, broomstick, auger, plunger, paint and wallpaper brush saw alot of action around the neighborhood.  Maybe I could diversify and offer wedding planning before the wedding and handywomen for when my brides becomes a wife and homemaking engineer.(the % of brides carrying the greatest responsibility of housework after "I DO"  is still way past 50% while working a full-time job)

You’ve been stood up, lied to and let down one too many times.

From now on, you’re going to do things differently.

Ready to try a little girl-on-girl action?

Invite all-female handywoman service Home Jane to your place to sort out your domestic issues. From assembling flat-pack furniture and hanging paintings to complicated plumbing, electrical, decorating and carpentry jobs, the team of fully qualified and insured ladies are a far cry from the lazy, untrustworthy, tea-drinking, Page 3-reading builders we have come not to love.

The service has no hidden costs or call-out charges. The girls won’t try to intimidate you with confusing conversation about channel glazing and back nailing.

It will be one relationship that actually works.

LUV IT!

Aren't these covered and decorated chairs adorable for a beach wedding?  Although I can picture them for any outdoor wedding.  Did you notice the fan tucked inside of the sash and bow?  LUV IT!
