There’s something that we lost in the tradition of tangible mail that a mailman delivers. That personal touch, that excitement you get when walking out to your mailbox wasn’t just to receive the 30 mailers sent to The Current Resident. There is also something we gained. In a society that has been groomed to wait for nothing (patients has become less of a virtue) E-Mail has saved the day! We have become accustom to needing an immediate gratification (I want it now, Daddy!). So, E-Mail allows us to fill this charge. Here’s the catch…people don’t always answer right away (and the shakes commence). Most people, especially those in business, receive their E-Mails to their phones. I assume there is a great percentage of “civilians” who also receive their E-Mails to their phones; personal and job E-Mail. So knowing that E-Mail has become the fastest way to connect with people and a better choice than a phone call for someone to inquire (I don’t want to be sold, just answer my questions…please!), we have become obsessed with returning E-Mails we receive quickly.
What truly amazes me is the response we get from clients/potential clients because we answer so promptly. They always seemed shocked and grateful that we got back to them (doesn’t everyone?). We are in the customer service business, we are asking people to trust us with one of the most important days in their lives. A lot of time, energy and most importantly money are spent on this day and if I can’t trust you to answer my inquiry E-Mail, how do I trust you with coordinating an entire day? Even if we aren’t available on a date that a bride-to-be is looking at for, we write a quick response to let them know so they can mark us off the list and continue their planning process. We admit that we may be a little obsessed with making sure we answer E-Mails right away, even those received at midnight from our Brides on the West Coast (I may have even been guilty of answering an email that I received at 3:00am, from a West Coast Bride, at 3:30am…we had an early flight, I was up!). But, in all seriousness, Brides-to-be think about their weddings 24/7, even the ones who tell us from the beginning they aren’t girly girls, so why shouldn’t we as their planners take the entire journey with them? -Meghan A few weeks ago, I had noticed that Kristin’s birthday was coming up soon. I started brainstorming some ideas of what to give her. I wanted it to be something she would appreciate, as well as, something tied into Kyle Michelle Weddings. That was when I came up with the idea of making her a tassel garland for the office, in the company’s colors. I have been admiring Confetti System’s garlands for years now and took this opportunity to give it a second try. (My first try at it was when I was living in Poland and their tissue paper is nothing like ours!) These are the supplies you will need: For cutting the tissue paper, there are two options: Plain old scissors or a rotary cutter and a mat for underneath.
Our first conversation with Tiana was in the very first days of June of this year. She really wanted to get married in October of this year but wasn’t sure she could pull off planning a Jersey Shore wedding from Washington, DC with out any assistance and/or in that time frame. She asked, “Can we do this in 4 months?” Yes, yep, of course, absolutely, definitely, it can and will happen! Prior to Tiana calling us, she had found the venue where she and her soon-to-be husband, Brian wanted to get married but hadn’t secured anything or even knew if it was a possibility. They wanted a beach ceremony and a tented reception right off the beach at The Women’s Civic Center of Stone Harbor. Tricky thing with the Jersey Shore, they don’t always allow beach ceremonies. You have to find the perfect spot, get a permit and you’re technically not even allowed to put chairs on the beach (Whoops…some how chairs ended up out there.?.?). All of our conversations with Tiana and Brian were through emails, phone conversations and one Skype meeting. We had never met them in person. But through the many, many emails of sending pictures back and forth and phone conversations to explain the pictures further-we knew exactly what they wanted: beach (nothing too over the top), with touches of fall (it was October). Tiana and Brian’s beach ceremony was sumptuous. The natural wood chairs set against the Atlantic Ocean, the sand and the perfectly blue sky were sublime. At the opening of the aisle, baskets were stocked with blankets for guests to bundle up with to fight against a crisp october breeze. Globe vases garnished with burnt orange calla lillies hung from the arbor. Tiana was stunning in her ivory, organza, gown perfectly adorned with a champagne sash. Bridesmaids wore navy dresses, choosing their own style, with pearls to match the brides. (We love this!) The Groom and Groomsmen wore light gray suits-the Groom with a white tie, the Groomsmen with navy to harmonize with the girls. Mr. & Mrs. Brian Walters We love when couples think outside of the box and do things that are less traditional and more unique to them. Tiana and Brian had perfect little touches at every turn. When we saw these tops, we were immediately obsessed! Signature Cocktails: Apple, fresh ginger, and cranberry martini's! (We heard they were amazing!) Who needs a 3 tier wedding cake when you can have copious amounts of cake AND pie? If you're not a fan of cake or pie? There is always s'mores! What else goes with party, beer, and dancing? Corn Hole! Who remembers mad libs? I'm pretty sure as children, everyone played a few. A great way to get some good reads on your honeymoon? Mad Libs for your wedding guest book-yep, pretty awesome. The day couldn't have been more beautiful; blue skies and cool weather (okay, maybe a little crisp). Tiana and Brian were gorgeous and are a perfect pair. We loved working (quick as it was) with these two. We wish them all of the happiness in the world! -Meghan Venue: Women's Civic Center of Stone Harbor
