PWG Bridal Show Recap

As you all know, Cherished Celebrations had a booth at the PWG Bridal Show in Raleigh this past weekend. We had so much fun designing it and preparing for the brides.

When you have that much fun, the show has to be fantastic – and it was!! Gail and Jaime with the Perfect Wedding Guide [...]

Inspiration for the PWG Bridal Show

So, yesterday I was doing a lot of visualizing of my booth in the upcoming PWG Bridal Show. It’s April 11 at the Crabtree Valley Marriott in Raleigh. (Click below for more info or to register!)

And as I was thinking, I was browsing the internet. I just happened upon [...]

2010 Wedding Trends

A while back, I wrote about some 2010 trends that some people don’t like… and some do. I thought I’d follow that up with a few things that anyone can tweak and make their own.

As always, planning that once-in-a-lifetime celebration in this new decade is all about attention to detail, with [...]

Hiring (real) Wedding Professionals

I can’t wait for you to [...]

Award Winner!

So, even though the site isn’t quite done, I can’t wait anymore to share the news!

A couple of weeks ago, I received a letter from the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC), naming me the Cele Lalli Rising Star Award winner for the second quarter of 2009.

The award honors the memory of the retired [...]

Candy Buffet

So you’ve decided to do a candy buffet for your wedding reception. Take a big, big hint from Cherished Celebrations and many other wedding planners… hire someone to do it for you! When you think about 150 (just an average number) of people taking candy, do you know how many pounds of each candy to [...]

The Happy Dance!

Before you started planning your wedding did you ever have a time when a simple linen sample could make you jump up and down and squeal with excitement? I’d bet the answer is no. At least since you started having birthdays in double digits!

I can’t stop smiling since this morning when I [...]
