Kiss and Tell Weddings

I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. So a couple of weeks ago I coordinated a vow renewal ceremony for a couple that has been married for 25 years. As I watched them recite non traditional vows from the heart, I realized that couples should review and renew their vows after a while. Listening to them express their love for one another 25 years later you could tell that they were speaking from the heart and from past experience. They had been through good times, bad times, hard times, fun times, deaths, births, financial ups and financial downs. This was not like the first time when you get married. You repeat the vows: "I, [name], take you [name], to be my [husband/wife], to have and to hold from this day forward; for better or for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cheris...

Coordinating a wedding sounds super fun but it is a lot of work! Timelines, places, contracts, hot meals (not luke warm), vendor placement, and contingency plans....just to name a few of the items that I handle. All of that is the "behind the scenes" work that make the "in front of the scenes" look nice. I also help clients with proper wedding etiquette. For example, never post registry information in your wedding invitation. You are requesting the company of your guests, which is why you invited them in the first place, not gifts. If you receive gifts, be sure to send handwritten thank you notes.  Guest RSVP is a service that I provide for my clients to relieve them of the duty of keeping count of who is attending and who is not. Tip: when handing out i...

My color inspiration for the Vow Renewal that I am planning. Plum and Silver provides an elegant and simplistic look for any affair. The renewal will host about 150 friends and family in a formal ball room in Oklahoma City. The clients wanted a clean look that still exuded elegance.
