Holiday Weekend Weddings 02/13/2010
Like everything, there are pros and cons to having your wedding over a holiday weekend, like New Years Eve or Memorial Day. The pros, mostly everyone is in a festive mood and ready to party. A lot of people have off for the holidays, so there is less of a chance it will conflict with people's work schedules. Also depending on the holiday and what day of the week it falls on, you could get your reception venue and other vendors at a discounted price depending on their demand. With that said, there's also going to be some vendors that charge more during the holidays. For example, roses will cost you much more if you decide to use them for your Valentines Day wedding. Another consideration is out of town guests. If a lot of your guests will have to travel, their expenses are most likely going to be much higher during the holidays. Lastly people may already have standing plans for the holidays and may not be able to make it to your wedding. Afternoon Poll 02/09/2010

Is the President on Your Guest List? 01/23/2010
 Although the President and the First Lady probably won’t be able to attend your wedding, receiving a congratulatory note stamped with an official seal from the White House can be a nice consolation prize and a wonderful keepsake. Wedding invitations for the President can be sent to: The Honorable Barack Obama and Mrs. Obama The White House Greetings Office, Room 39 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Your DJ and/or Band 12/06/2009
As you start your search for a DJ or band recall weddings that you have been to in the past. Are there any DJs or bands that stand out in your mind? If so add them to your list of candidates. As usual, also ask family and friends for recommendations. A quick way to narrow down your list of potential DJs and bands is to search online for videos of their performances. If you like what you see, set up an appointment to meet with the DJ or bandleader. When you meet with a potential DJ or band, explain what you are looking for in terms of musical selections and the ambience you want to create. Be specific. Let them know what makes you dance, what has special meaning to you, and what music you absolutely do not want to hear. They should show interest and offer ideas on how they can make your vision come alive. The DJ or bandleader should have a good personality and you should feel confident that they will be able to interact with your guests, read the room and select music accordingly. Q: What is the “first glance” shot? 12/03/2009
A: If the couple decides to take pictures together before the ceremony, the photographer will usually set up a moment for the couple to have their “first glance” or the “first look”. This is the opportunity for the photographer to capture the expressions and emotions of the bride and the groom as they see each other for the first time on their wedding day. This is a fabulous example of the “first glance” moment, taken by Maureen Ford.     Click pictures to enlarge Do you have a question?
