<br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Capturing the “in betweens”!<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
When choosing a videographer to record your wedding day,
there are many things to consider. Go into your initial meeting with a
potential videographer with all the information you'll need, including a list
of questions to find out more about the videographer. Remember that videos catch
the “in betweens” of everything- those priceless moments that a photograph can’t
capture! Instead of a photo of you dancing with your father you can actually
see the dance occur, have two cameras and you can relive the dance with your
dad and see the expression on your mom’s face! Video along with an amazing
photography team will have you reliving your wedding forever- what a gift!<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
First, think about the type of finished product you are
hoping for. Do you want to hear the background noise of the video you are
watching or do you want the video footage to be played to music? Do you want to
have the videographer interview your guests individually and ask for their
advice to the happy couple or would you prefer just a candid scan of your
guests on your big day? These are important questions to think about when
determining the style of your wedding video.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
Second, how many videographers are needed for your day?
Discuss the possibilities with the videography company you choose. The number
of videographers that are necessary for your day are dependent on how many
guests you invite, the style of wedding video you want, and the company
you choose. For example, some companies prefer to have two videographers
capturing different angles of your special moments at the same time and then
compile all of the footage. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">
And last, but certainly not least, make sure you inquire
about any additional items your videographer can make. A popular trend right
now is to order a wedding movie trailer too! This movie trailer is a shortened
highlight reel of the wedding video that lasts up to only a couple minutes.
It’s the perfect length to show all of your friends and family over and over
again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
If you have your photographer booked- don't forget to ask if they do video as well. Sometimes going through them saves you money and works out best as they know how to work together well to capture ever last detail without running into each other and stepping on each other's toes (literally!)!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none;">

Best of luck with your search!<br />

Glad the skies turned to our favor :)<br />
<br />
Not only were Matt and Stephanie wonderful to work with but her parents were a planners dream! We love when the parents are so involved (in a good way! ;)) and play such a part in their childs big day. Stephanies mom Lisa did every DIY in the book I think and it all turned out so beautifully! <br />
<br />
Her great team of vendors included the wonderful Rev. Ann Fuller with Brevard Ministries <a href="http://www.brevardminister.com/">www.brevardminister.com</a>, beautiful ceremony and personal flowers from the amazing Link at Eau Gallie Florist <a href="http://www.eaugallieflorist.com/">www.eaugallieflorist.com</a> and the party kept going all night long with the best, DJ Shane <a href="http://www.djshaneentertainment.com/">www.djshaneentertainment.com</a>. Indica Woodruff captured the beauty of it all as always! <a href="http://www.indicawoodruffphotography.com/">www.indicawoodruffphotography.com</a> Making sure you have an all star team for your big day is essential in making your day the best it can be!<br />

Whether you’ve already chosen a venue for your reception, or you’re still sorting those details out, one important thing you’ll want to consider is your food. Food is one of the most talked about aspects of every wedding, so choose carefully! Below we’ll explain some of the things to consider when choosing between a sit down, plated meal versus a buffet style service.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">First, you’ll want to consider your budget. Generally a plated meal is more expensive than a buffet meal because of the amount of staff that is required for a seated meal versus a buffet station. However, this isn’t always the case. Buffets give your guests more variety and also the chance for them to get second helpings, so the options you choose can quickly add up if you choose expensive entrees. We suggest getting prices for both options and seeing what fits your budget needs the best.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Second, think about the demographic, most importantly age, of your guests. Are the majority of your guests older family members that may have trouble navigating around a buffet station? Are there going to be a lot of little children invited? If so, a sit down dinner may work better for your guests. Movement is a big part of choosing a buffet, so ensure that your guests are able (and willing!) to get up and wait in line for their food and carry their own plates. If you have a nice variety, or the majority of your guests are middle aged, you should have no trouble choosing a buffet.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Third, think about the formality of your wedding. Generally, more formal affairs consist of a sit down meal with multiple courses. If you are going for a less formal wedding, a buffet tends to give off a more casual, laid back feel. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Along with the formality of the style of food service itself, choosing between a sit down and buffet style also determines the amount of interaction that your guests will have. Buffet styles allow more room for socializing and mingling amongst guests (as they are waiting in line for food). Buffets feel less rigid and are a great option if you want your guests to eat everything at once, as opposed to sitting down through an appetizer, salad, and entrée course. Sit down meals, because they tend to feel more formal, generally keep all of the guests at their seats throughout the course of the meal and only allow interaction between the guests at their table.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are other options besides plated and buffet but we won't overwhelm you just yet! Remember there is no right or wrong option, it’s all about choosing what works best for YOU and your wedding.</span><br />

Greg and Meredith were married on April 20th at the beautiful Lake Mary
Event Center (<a href="http://www.lakemaryeventscenter.com/">www.lakemaryeventscenter.com</a>) and one we won't ever forget. Maybe it was due to how the
bridal party and bride arrived.....by RV of course!<br />

It has been the one of the best arrival vehicles we have seen to date and all the decor just topped it off! Her Man of Honor was the chauffeur and what an awesome job he did :) Thank goodness LMEC has plenty of parking space!<br />
<br />
Meredith and Greg's big day was beautiful- pouring rain and all. For those who have been to LMEC you know what a beautiful venue it is and how it offers multiple options for ceremony/cocktail hour and reception space. Meredith's plan- outside, God's plan- inside...guess who won?! Inside or out you can't go wrong, the place is stunning and I have to say I think her guests enjoyed the A/C vs. April weather in Florida.<br />

DJ Phil Joeckel (http://djsoundwave.net/phil-joeckel/) rocked the dance floor all evening and their big day was captured by the wonderful and talented Paul Joseph Photography out of Melbourne.<a href="http://www.photosbypj.com/">www.photosbypj.com</a><br />
<br />
These two were just made for each other and you could tell through the entire planning process and especially on their big day. We loved all the personal touches they created for their wedding and seeing them and their guests smile all evening is why we do what we do!<br />
<br />
They ended the evening departing in, you guessed it, the RV of course- members of the bridal party and all for the after party :) Thank you two again for allowing us to play such a special role!<br />

<br />
Though I enjoy all styles, color and design my heart belongs to burlap, lace and everything in between! There is so much inspiration out there these days thanks to Pinterest, blogs and sites dedicated to ceremony and reception decor that I could scream like a little girl over and over everyday!<br />
<br />
Todays scream is dedicated to carved invitations....yes, carved invitations! Found on pinterest and offered by kxodesign.com - SO beautiful and different!<br />

<a name='more'></a>Say CHEESE! <br />
<br />
One thing I advise my couples is to research photo inspiration and save ideas they see and like. If you find a great photographer most will have the experience needed to know what poses work and what doesnt however the majority wont come with a box of props...<br />
<br />
The last thing you want to do is say "oh I wish I would have" or "that would have been so cute" when you see someone elses photos or look back at your big day.<br />
<br />
Think about your guests coming who arent in your bridal party or are immediate family and make sure you let your photographer know so that you wont forget to get a photo with them...trust me it will be the last thing on your mind come the big day! Again if you have a great photographer, or better yet coordinator, they will know to ask you this question and make sure its done! You think of the food/drinks/decor/music/vows, whats one more item to add to your list?!<br />
<br />
But back to props...this is where the fun comes in and why we love to book crafty brides who enjoy all the small touches. Some ideas Ive seen over and over but some I found were new to me and just fell in love with (ie: moms framing their "babies"...too cute) and guys "oohing and awwing" at his ring = priceless! Photos dont have to include an actual "prop" if its unique and fun like this!<br />

You know the saying, "its the simple things in life". Well the same can applies to weddings in my opinion. I think some of the most personal touches on events are those that are the most simplest too! It doesnt take hundreds of dollars or even hours of work to put a special touch on something to make it that much more memorable! Our example today is a simple personalized name on a wooden hanger for your bridesmaid dresses (if you are an amazing bride purchasing their dresses as their gift :)) when you present it to them! Not only are you awesome in paying for something they more than likely will only wear one time (though the dresses today are very versatile!)your presenting it to them in a way that shows you took your time in making it memorable for them (as easy as it was!)...an "awwww" moment as they receive it and we all know that its the "awww" moments in life that are remembered :)L.I.F.E.

Anyone can be creative, sometimes you just need some guidance :) Thats what I am here for...oh and websites such as pinterest! I give huge thanks to the creators of Pinterest for coming up with such an amazing idea (if only I had thought of it!). Not only has it allowed me to go over budget each month, put on pounds thanks to the amazing recipes posted (especially all the smores recipes...hello!!) but its also turned all my "not-so-crafty" brides into experts leaving me with more work...not so sure why I love sites like this after all :) kidding, kidding! My favorite couples are my creative ones...if you come to me and think you arent you will be after planning with me!<br /><br />Since I dont think websites such as this are going anywhere for quite a while I figured I'd do some more browsing and then found these.<br /><br />Something so cute and simple as the "last chance to run" sign will be remembered by many guests for quite a long time and about the easiest thing you could make for your ceremony....and lets add the most important detail, cost effective!<br /><br />Then a guest book made from rocks...seriously?! Again, not only simple and cheap but most importantly something different and unique and what will have your guests talking. <br /><br />Your wedding should be a reflextion of your personality as a couple, anything but cookie cutter!

With all the ideas out there its hard not to get sucked in to DIY world.<br /><br />The possibilities are ENDLESS! It all started with simple craft stores, then came the magazines then the ultimate websites such as The Knot and my favorite, Pinterest, to help brides dream and dream...and dream even more of what they can do themselves (go figure!) for their big day. One small detail they seem to leave out is how long it will take to create it, and dont forget multiplying that by many, even hundreds depending on how big the wedding is! Not sure if this has helped brides or overwhelmed them?! In the end who cares their wedding will be that much more amazing thanks to their hard work and they'll be satisfied and proud knowing they did it all...besides the labor of setting it all up/taking it down and packing it away...leave that up to L.I.F.E. Events to handle! <br /><br />Personally I LOVE all the DIY touches I see brides creating to bring their wedding to life and get so excited when I get one that is involved with the DIY world! A big warning to my DIY clients now: I never agreed to keep track of your budget did I?! If I did dont take me shopping with you and add my email to your spam list so you wont get ideas from me :) Then again, when I send ideas Ill also send instructions on how to make it and coupons so you may want to think again on hitting that spam button!<br /><br />A cute DIY project I found today is so simple but so perfect for the ceremony. I definitely see this placed for an outdoor rustic wedding. To stretch the benefit even more of this DIY you could even transfer this to the cocktail or dinner reception and have guests write messages on it for the newlyweds...in the end get glass cut for a cover and turn it into a forever keepsake to be displayed in your home :)<br /><br />Stop back in next week for another DIY option for your big day :)<br />- BeckyL.I.F.E.

Whatever it is, I like and am a little jealous. I on the other hand will always have to write in "anniversary" on my husbands calendar!<br /><br />I had the pleasure of working on 11/11 with an amazing couple, Lauren and Bob! Ive known Lauren for quite some time. High school, college classes and other things thrown in between brought us closer and closer and I was so happy the day she called asking for help.<br /><br />Though she just needed "day of" help I met with them a couple of months out to walk the space and I could tell from that minute how in love they both were with each other and that makes me do what I do..I love "love"....true love! I could tell she had been stressed with items leading up to her big day but she didnt let that stop her remember what this was all about. Im just glad I got to take away all her stress when she needed it most.<br /><br />Their ceremony was held at Lake Eola and for those who are familiar with downtown Orlando you can imagine all the spectators they had, it was fun to say the least :)<br /><br />They each arrived on horse and carriage and it was such a beautiful event and Im honored I played a part to make all her dreams come alive!<br /><br />Some vendors they used:<br />Ceremony venue: Lake Eola<br />Ceremony music: Christine, Harpist...so wonderful!<br />Floral decor: Atmospheres<br />Reception venue: Embassy Suites Downtown<br />Entertainment: Sophisticated Gents<br />Photography: Henk Prinsloo <br /><br />Just a couple of beautiful photos from the amazing, Henk Prinsloo:L.I.F.E.

I had so many visions in my head of combos that I could do. Mango and cherry, soft pink and green, black and white...the list went on and on and though some were easy to throw out my "short" list still had about 5 combos before I knew what I wanted. <br />Ive found many brides to have the same conflict. They want a color combo but think since their wedding is outside by the beach it wont work or the colors are too dull for their fancy ballroom reception. Or the color they want doesnt come in the tux/bridesmaid dresses they knew they wanted all along. Whatever the case Ive found it that many deal with this challenge!<br />My advice to all brides is really think about your personal style as a couple and let's pair that with a color combo that will work well with the style you want for your big day. If you are a modern couple look for bold colors or an accent print that could be used for the napkins or table overlays. For more conservative couples that still want something a little flashy think ivory and soft colors with splashes of a strong accent color! <br />Once you think of who you are as a couple and what style you are leaning to for your wedding the colors should come a little easier! <br />Though it is a hard decision its not one to put off until late in the planning. Choosing a color scheme will want to be one of the first items you check off as you will find all the many little details will work around this in some fashion!<br />Happy color choosing!L.I.F.E.

Melissa was sick the entire evening prior and it lasted all wedding day and into the night :( I felt sooo bad for her but she was a trooper through it all and posed for many photos, even did the bouquet toss....and all with a huge smile on her face somehow! She was such a beautiful bride and the groom didnt look too bad himself...(glad they went with the ties though!)<br /><br />I worked with a few vendors who worked on Amber and Jim's big day just a month ago so it was great to see them again! <br /><br />Venue: Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa<br />Photographer: Dawn Haas; www.dawnhaasphotography.com<br />Florist: Stephanie; FishHawk Weddings<br />Linen: Shiv; Got You Covered Linens<br /><br />Melissa and Ryan are spending their time in Mexico right now...Im praying they are both healthy and having a great time!<br /><br />Photos to come soon :)L.I.F.E.

We had over a year to get things rolling and finalized and as always, the day came with a blink of an eye! Jim and Amber got married March 27th at the Tampa Palms Country Club and it was a night never to forget!!<br /><br />I had the chance to work with a few new vendors for this wedding since it was in Tampa and they all will be highly recommended!<br /><br />Venue: Tampa Palms Country Club (Jeanelle Rasano!)<br />Photographer: Dawn Haas; www.dawnhaasphotography.com (AMAZING!)<br />Florist: Stephanie; fishhawkweddings.com<br />DJ: Dan; www.swordsounds.com<br />Musician: Amanda; www.pinkfiddle.com<br />Hair/Make-up: Michele Renee; makeup_michele@yahoo.com<br /><br />Photos to come!!L.I.F.E.
