Etiquette Monday - Hosting a Bridal Shower or Event

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:27:00 +0000

Today's Etiquette Monday is perfect for a Maid of Honor or Bridesmaid that may be hosting a shower in a brides honor! Bridal showers can be casual, whimsical or elegant solely depends on the theme that has been selected for the event.

It is normal for a wedding planners to be contracted to plan & host showers for their clients as an additional service or Ala carte portion of their planning packages. This ensures that the event will flow seamlessly & the bride, her bridal party & family will be able to relax and enjoy the occasion!

In the event that a wedding planner is not contracted to plan the event I would like to share a few helpful tips to being a great hostess!

The event host always extends the invitation to shower guest at least 4 weeks prior to the shower date.
Determine the location and plans for the event which also includes planning the menu.
For events of 8 or more its recommended to use place cards to direct event guest on seating.
When seating VIP guest {ie., bridal party, family} they should be seated to the right of the host/hostess & guest of honor.
Honoring VIP guest its customary for the Host/Hostess to make a "welcome toast" to kick off the shower or event.
If the shower is formal its customary for the Host/Hostess to propose a toast to the guest of honor while dessert is being served.
After this toast, the guest of honor will also respond with a toast to thank the Host.

Happy Hosting!!

Etiquette Monday - Drinking & alcohol consumption at your wedding

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:12:00 +0000

Your big day is finally here and you & your handsome groom are ready to celebrate with your wedding party! Ask yourself the question...how much is too much before the actual ceremony? A wedding ceremony is a very sacred so limiting your toast or alcohol consumption prior to the ceremony is advised.

Its perfectly okay to have a single celebratory toast but to over consume before the wedding & reception only spells disaster!! There will only be regrets later if the choice to over consume before the ceremony is made because it will show in your videography & also photography. Who wants to watch a wedding video & the couples speech is slurred? {So not cool}

Other ways to control the alcohol consumption at your reception with wedding guest:

Limit the open bar hours - most guests view an open bar as a time to get "inebriated" for free. However if you partner with your wedding planner & venue bartender to close the bar during dinner & also 30-45 minutes prior to the end of the evening it will cut down on some excessive drinking.
Limited alcohol selections - having a signature cocktail only; or have 2 bottles of wine preset at each table so your guests can share during dinner. Limits the over indulgence & its cost effective!
Have a cash bar - its a known fact that when guests have to pay for their own alcohol they tend to consume a little less.
Have other beverage options like soda, tea, water and non alcoholic punch available to also keep guests hydrated.

Be safe & think of yourself and your wedding guests!

Etiquette Monday - Table Manners

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:20:00 +0000

Having a formal wedding reception think of giving your wedding party a crash course in table manners! The basics to table manners:

Seating: Always enter and exit the chair from the right side. Its always a plus however not required for a man to pull out a chair to seat a woman. {Its a southern tradition}

Napkins: Place the napkin in your lap with the fold next to your body. In a formal setting the host or hostess should lead the party in placing the napkin on his or her lap. *If you have to excuse yourself from the dinner table, its proper to place your napkin on your seat or the arm of your chair.*

Utensils: Once you pick up your eating utensils do not put them back on the table. When provided utensils that you do not use, simply place it in the correct position on the plate at the end of that particular course so it appears it was used. This signals your wait staff that it should be removed.

American Style Dining: in the photo below this signals that you are at rest/still eating to your wait staff.

American Style: this image signals that your meal is complete.

Continental style of dining: I am resting/still eating

Continental Style Dining: I am finished, notice the fork is placed down

If soup is being served, always remember to spoon away from your body. Your utensil (spoon) is always placed on the plate & never left inside the bowl. Please remember to sip the soup from the side of the spoon and never from the front!

Passing the food - the individual that is closet to the bread or item requested may start. The correct way is to offer it to the person on your left, then serve yourself & pass to the person on your right asking them to pass the item around the dinner table.

Salt & pepper shakers are to be passed together and placed on the table, they should never be handed to someone!

Helpful tips to avoid:

Never put the following on the table; feet, handbags hands, elbows cell phones & sunglasses.
Men should never put their necktie inside their shirt or flip it over their shoulder....
Women should not retouch makeup or comb hair while seated at the table.
Never use your napkin as a bib! Well the exception would be a seafood/crab boil where its partially acceptable!!

Black & White - Mid-Week Wedding Inspiration

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:05:00 +0000

Planning weddings can be a daunting & overwhelming task especially when you want to incorporate your personal style & personality to your wedding day! Brides and their wedding planners can & should get lots of design inspiration from home decor magazines. There is nothing worse or more boring than seeing wedding designs repeated over & over again only changing out the color palette.

Chic & contemporary wedding styles can look to home decor magazines like Metropolitan Home which is one of my personal faves for those little pops of detail that will be wow factors for your wedding guest.

As you are pinpointing your specific wedding style, pay close attention to colors and patterns that really make your heart sing. Whether its damask print, polka dots, or bold lines and patterns don't limit yourself or your creativity while in the wedding planning process.

Today's inspiration showcases the ever so classic colors of black and white mixed with pops of blue that create a wow factor! What will be your "wow factor" for your wedding or reception? I'd love to hear about it!!

Enjoy!

Wedding Origami

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:50:00 +0000

Origami has become very popular in weddings over the past few years. Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding.

The origami peace crane {pictured above} is a symbol of love, patience, understanding & loyalty. Which also are the traits of marriage. The origami peace cranes also symbolize peace, long life, prosperity and good luck! Who would not want to start their marriage out with all that rich symbolism? Brides can incorporate the origami peace crane into the rehearsal dinner decor and/or wedding reception decor if you had a zen themed event.

Cootie catchers or fortune tellers as they were called back in my school days are a neat way to get your wedding guest chatting at your wedding reception! How? These retro goodies can serve as a wedding reception "table talker" that sparks great fun!

Simply have them printed in a custom font, with the bride and grooms name, wedding date and even the table number. Inside the "Cootie Catcher" have interesting facts and tidbits about you & your groom! Your guest will have a blast trying to figure out who the fact or tidbit is about! Sure to break the ice & create a fun atmosphere!!

Etiquette Monday - Thank you notes

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:04:00 +0000

A thank you note should be sent within 24-48 hours after an event. However thank you notes for gifts should be sent within 1 week after the event. {Please Note} Brides have one year to send out thank you notes for their wedding presents. However I personally think they should be sent out within 1-3 months after the wedding so that your guest still have some recollection of your wedding day!

When addressing the envelope always use an honorific title {Mr., Ms., Dr.} this also applies when you're writing the greeting or salutation of your note. The only exception is if you know the person very well.

There is nothing more special than the power of a hand written note!!

Don't be tardy for the party!

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:15:00 +0000

For my readers that follow me on Twitter its no secret that I am a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta even in all its uncouth glory. There is something about the show that makes me tune in each week & watch/tweet with all my twitter peeps. Its really a blast every Thursday night!

After one of the 1st seasons episodes I've had this blog post just sitting in my "blog hopper" just waiting to hit to launch button.

Brides & wedding professionals as you are meeting with our respected vendors & clients its very important to arrive at all meetings at least 5 minutes before the scheduled meeting...I honestly believe 15 minutes to allow for setup if needed.

I understand that traffic woes happen, I mean its happened to me a few times, but brides be mindful of your vendors time when arriving late for scheduled appointments & vendors be mindful of your clients time because it could all have a snowball effect if there are additional meetings planned afterwards.

This makes me think of the movie Lean on Me with Principal Joe Clark when he stressed to the students, "When your on time your late & when your late your on time" its funny to hear it come from the actor Morgan Freeman who played the principal but its a very true statement.

Its proper etiquette to call your event professional or client at least 10 minutes prior to your meeting alerting them that you are running a tad bit behind. Its however unacceptable to phone 10 minute after your scheduled meeting time to say that you are going to be late. It really all goes back to common courtesy and respect with working with clients and event professionals.

So I leave you with something a little jam session courtesy of Kim of The Real Housewives of Atlanta! Be sure to think of this song when you are headed out to your next consultation!!

Enjoy & have a great weekend!!

Children at your wedding? Consider a Nanny Service

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:22:00 +0000

Are you pondering having children at your wedding & reception but cringing at the cost that may add up in providing them with a kid friendly menu? Why not consider a reputable nanny service in your city! I recently had the opportunity to work with Nannies of Green Hills and can not say enough great things about their communication prior to the wedding as well as throughout the event.

Some key things to consider when thinking of adding the expense of a reputable nanny service would be but not limited too:

Agency Fees
Nanny fees which typical range from $10-$12 per hour for a minimum of 4 hours
Are they an accredited & certified Nanny Service
Screening process for their nannies.
Do they have a consistent reputation of professionalism & integrity
American Red Cross certification
Service area within your city

After you have made the decision to hire a qualified nanny agency its important to also consider how you will communicate with your guest about this extra special service that will be provided for your weddings special little guest:

Your wedding website
Invitation suite with an card that describes the service & proper drop off times, etc.
The day of your event, have proper signs to ensure your wedding guest are aware of the drop off location for the Nanny service. This is something that you as a bride can design as a DIY project yourself, or partnering with your wedding coordinator to add that additional design service within your contract.
Ensure your wedding guest are aware of the pick up policy at the end of the event. If their child is picked up at the end of the event they should be leaving your wedding & not returning to reception out of courtesy for your request to not have children at the actual reception!
If you are aware that a few guest may challenge the nanny service its best to have conversations with those guest one - on - one prior to the day of your wedding. This creates a better environment for all parties involved & the check in process flows very nice!

Its a great idea to have games, kid friendly food & movies to keep your special little guest entertained, such as:

Board games & coloring books with crayons are always a hit with children!
Kid friendly foods, like chicken fingers or nuggets, hot dogs, chips, cookies, goldfish & other snacks makes for very happy children!
TV & DVD player or portable DVD player. Movies can be rented for any Red Box for only $1 and returned the next evening by 9pm! {Cost Effective}
Also if time permits within the evening, the bride & groom can stop by the designated kids area to thank them for coming to the wedding! Its makes even your smallest guest feel extra special!

Nashville brides you have an advantage of having The Nannies of Green Hills, LLC located in our city! Andrea Tilley is a true business woman & has the highest expectations for the nannies provided by her agency. I am very pleased with the communication leading up to the event, during & after events.

For additional information on The Nannies of Green Hills, LLC be sure to visit their website or contact the agency directly!

Etiquette Monday - How to hold a wine glass

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:27:00 +0000

Always hold your wine glass by the stem, never by the bowl of the glass!

In a table setting all glass & stemware are place in the upper right of your table setting. Your wine stemware is placed in order of service. Always begin with the wine glass closest to you. The water goblet is usually larger and is always placed to the left of the wine glass!

Unique Unity Ceremony

BridalOpulence@gmail.com (Latrice of Bridal Opulence) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 03:30:00 +0000

Image Credit: personal Iphone

Today's brides are becoming very creative when planning their wedding ceremony. Its great as a wedding planner to work with clients that want to make their wedding day truly their own by capturing your unique personality!

Your unity ceremony can be a way for you to make your ceremony your own!

Recently one of my brides added a twist to the Unity Wine Ceremony. The most common unity wine ceremony consist of the bride and groom will each take a carafe/decanter and pour it into a single wine glass & each drink from that same glass. Most common that wine from their unity wine ceremony is brought to the reception for the happy couple to drink throughout the evening.

Chelsea & Jordan's unique twist to the unity wine ceremony consisted of having a custom wooden wine box designed with their custom wedding monogram {which was simply adorable}. During the ceremony they actually nailed the box closed and will reopen it after 25 years of marriage. The contents of their wine box consisted of 2 bottles of wine, 2 wine glasses & also personal notes to each other that will be read after 25 years of marriage!

If you want to have a similar ceremony for your wedding, its also important to consider a few things when selecting your wine.

Select wines that will age well & hold up its acidity for several years.
Its best to keep wines in a dry & constantly cooled with little to no movement/vibration.
Custom wine glasses are great for the box to have a keepsake on your 25th wedding anniversary.
If you are not familiar with wine, there are many wine shoppes that would very helpful in selecting just the perfect wines. For this particular ceremony the amazing gentleman at The Wine Shoppe of Green Hills in Nashville were wonderful in passing along their aging wine expertise.

As always make your wedding day your own by incorporating ideas that capture your personality as a couple!d

Congrats to Chelsea & Jordan!
