WELLSPUN WEDDINGS

The first time I did a wedding with Wellspun Weddings, I was awed by how quiet Jon was, but how he was everywhere! When I saw Joy and Bob's wedding video it blew me away. He had captured the day perfectly and the true and comfortable love that Joy and Bob share was so evident. Then I recommended Wellspun Weddings to a few more couples and I continued to be impressed by how well they get the essence of each wedding. Even the wedding when Jon had a back problem and another of his partners did the shooting- it was still amazing! Then I had the pleasure and joy of helping Brianna- Jon's right hand in the office, with her beautiful fall wedding last year. Brianna and Chris's wedding video is so vivid you can smell the fall in the air and see the happiness that surrounded the family that day. Every time I do a wedding with Wellspun, I know that their product will be flawless and the couple will be able to relive their wedding over and over- from the weather to the people who were there, to the colors and the smells of the day. I love working with Wellspun Weddings! I never hesitate to recommend them! I am always pleased at the result! And, Modern Bride felt that way too, because Jon won the 2009 Trendsetter award for his work. So, check out other weddings and find out all you need to find out on their web site and Well Spun's blog . And- enjoy the show!

COMIC RELIEF


Road to the Altar episode called Parade of Vendors is really funny! Another episode of the web series that every bride can relate to when planning the perfect day. The stars, Jaleel White (Urkel from Family Matters) and Leyna Juliet Weber from As The World Turns are great as a couple stumbling toward the altar and meeting every imaginable obstacle along the way. I also love the episodes interviewing the wedding planner- the chick with the blue hair-OMG! Here is a synopsis of the show:

Jaleel portrays Simon, a thirty-something man about to tie the knot with his Jewish girlfriend.

“Basically a couple sells their pending nuptials as a reality show to win a honeymoon. And the groom quickly realizes that he is in over his head,” Jaleel told AccessHollywood.com. “She’s not quite a ‘bridezilla’, but the decision making process from the valet to the catering is definitely bringing out his fiancee’s neurosis.”

“Road to the Altar” is shot as a mockumentry, poking fun at the process leading up to a wedding by taking the possibilities to the extreme. The series also allows for the spotlight to be shared, as supporting characters post in-character Tweets and blogs in between episodes, something Jaleel wishes he had been part of.

You really need to watch this! It's funny and inventive and will take the stress of planning away- for a little while!

VARIATION ON A THEME

Since the 4th of July is only a few days away, I decided to put together an inspiration board of red, white and sort of blue! I love the combination of aqua and red or fuschia and teal. What could be better for a summer wedding than these vibrant and festive palettes? Good luck to all of you 4th of July brides getting married this weekend!! And, for you 2010 brides looking for a theme- hope this brings you some inspiration!
