Shoe Inspiration

Now I don't know a girl who doesn't love shoes!! I saw this posted on a very chic and whimsical facebook page that always post all things pretty (Calligraphy by Jennifer) and she had this album of amazing shoes!! I just couldn't pass the opportunity up to share with all of you. A bride’s style is present in every single detail of her look hair and makeup, to the accessories, including fabulous shoes! While the wedding dress may remain in classical light and pure shades, the shoes can add a dash of color and character to the entire look! I love shoes that is in line with a wedding color scheme.

While looking at these shoes I was immediately inspired to start looking at wedding gowns then to 2nd wedding gowns that would look wonderfully paired off as you dance the night away. I started thinking how some would be good for bridesmaids and picturing their dresses. Then to the flowers, lighting and decor...Its amazing how one thing can set the spark and give you inspiration to visualize a whole event!

Happy Planning (and now day dreaming about Jimmy Choo's and Valentino's thanks to me!!)

United States gets a Royal Wedding

April 29th, 2011 was a day in history as the 2 billion people around the world got up early or set their DVR's to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince William and his new bride Catherine Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The days the leading up to it we all patiently waiting to see the what the Royal dress would look like. I have heard both positive comments and some of those who were a bit disappointed as they were looking for something more over the top. Personally, we loved her look and dress designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. She was the essence of simply elegant and natural beauty. She brought her own style to traditions to royalty truly making her a modern day princess.

The Wedding Salon

Milestone Events by Kristy participated in our first ever bridal show and we are pleased to have joined the Wedding Salon's network. The show was this past April 27th, 2011 at the Manhattan Center in NYC. It was a packed show with approx. 3,000 brides that showed up ready to meet some of the extraordinary vendors who participated.

The month leading up to the show was crunch time for our team!! Meeting with vendors, doing research, creating marketing materials and making sure our brand imaging was done properly. We took this time to really showcase our work and the work of our vendors so that potential clients can see the total package that they would receive when hiring Milestone Events by Kristy for their next event. We put together a great marketing kit for brides to take home and read through the materials and the benefits of hiring a wedding planner. We offered some great discounts and some lucky brides went home with a $1,000 gift certificate off a full planning package!!! In addition, everyone who stopped by got to go home with some goodies and delicious cookies!!

The day started off well with only a few errands to run in the morning. When arriving to the Manhattan Center the Wedding Salon team organized unloading and registration seamlessly. As we awaited the start of the show the line of brides begin to form furiously around the block as they anxiously awaited to get started with the show. Once 4pm came and the doors open it was an influx of very excited brides who were interested in speaking to us about our services. I met many lovely ladies who loved our showcase and left us with many wonderful comments. The evening continued on with a steady pace of people and questions. I was pleasantly surprised on how well the evening went. At about 8pm it started to slow down a bit and I was able to now make my way through the show and see and network with some of the other vendors. There were a few who really stood out to me and I look forward to making some new partnerships with. One company that I can see a bright future for and one that will truly become a big trend in the near future is Newly Wish. NewlyWish is a wedding gift registry service designed to provide to-be-weds, their friends and family, with the choice, convenience, and personalization they desire in such an important and personal time in their lives.

Some other vendors that stood out to me were amazing "Cakes by Nicole", fabulous jewelry of "Designs by Febe". There were also some great new photographers some with exceptional modern day photojournalist books a specific mention to "Keylite Studio". Lastly, great music companies such as "NYC Wedding Music" which can offer large 12 and 14 piece bands. If you are looking for a smaller piece musicians there was "Karly Jurgensen" duets to quartets perfect for ceremony music. I was impressed by some new rental companies that were perfect for the modern and trendy brides looking for a sleek new look for their wedding. Lastly, a very fun company called "Before the Knot" for all your bachelorette parties and needs
