I think it’s Pintastic-Pink Feather Wedding Clutch

February 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment

There are times when something just catches your eye.  I fell in love with this Kate Spade pink feather clutch called belle elliana (how fab is that name)  the minute I saw it on Pinterest.

It has been repinned over 20 times.  I felt this beautiful, unique accessory could be the centerpiece for a wedding style  so I created this inspiration board.  If you are interested in purchasing the clutch you can buy it at Nordstroms.

Pale Pink Wedding Inspiration Board

What do you think, is this clutch cause for inspiration? Do you like this pale pink wedding palette or is too feminine? We want to know your thoughts, share below.

Till Next Time, I hope your next Special Event is a Red Letter Day!

I think it is Pintastic! Pink Gold Wedding and Engagement Ring Trend

January 3, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Blake Lively was sporting one late last year, and I predict the Pink Gold jewelry trend is here to stay. Pink gold is made of an alloy of yellow gold and copper, the more copper added the deeper the pink or rose color of the gold.  We have been pinning some really beautiful examples of this unique metal combination give a peek and let us know, do you think Pink Gold is Pintastic?

Blake Lively’s beautiful Pink Gold ring.

 

This ring is simple but the rose gold really allows the center diamond to stand out.

 

This wedding band would complement the above ring but could also be worn as a stand alone.

The contrast of the chocolate diamonds and white diamonds makes this stunning.

Black diamonds are rare, and this is ring is a statement piece for the unconventional bride.

If you aren’t ready to commit to a lifetime of Pink Gold then consider wearing this bracelet on your Wedding Day, it would be a gorgeous accent piece to any wedding dress.

 Till Next Time. I Hope Your Next Special Event is a Red Letter Day!

R-S-V-P ( for Taylor Swift and others)

August 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Last week songbird Taylor Swift made news by being the most famous wedding crasher since Vince Vaughn.

According to sources Taylor, who is dating Conor Kennedy (yes of THAT family) showed up at Conor’s cousins wedding as an uninvited +1.  Conor, who had been officially invited with what I am sure was a beautiful, William Arthur invitation had never Respondez, s’il vous plait on the lovely ivory cardstock. However a ½ hour BEFORE the reception (allegedly) he TEXTED his aunt to ask if he could come and bring Taylor. The MOB’s answer, no please do not.  But Kennedy and Swift did show up and were asked to leave which they did after a little while.

From a wedding planner’s perspective a crasher is a nightmare and here is why:

  • The Bride, Groom, Mothers, Fathers and anyone else with an opinion has been working on a seating chart for at least a week-it is simply not just adding another chair
  • Food is prepared based on the number of people that are attending, if you just show up chances are you may end up with a plate of plain pasta instead of the delicious filet.
  • The Mother of the Bride had to deal with an embarrassing and stressful situation on what should have been a fun and stress free evening (if they had a wedding planner hopefully they would have dealt with the situation)
  • It is awkward to have someone escorted out by security at a wedding-and I have had clients ask me to do just that.

All this could have been avoided had Conor just sent in his RSVP, yes, he might have written Swift in as his date and then the family could have a conversation before the big day of whether or not she was invited or if his invite was only for 1. (we will discuss this in another post). However because he did not fill out 2 lines on a card that then could be mailed in a self addressed stamped envelope we are talking about Taylor’s Tacky Wedding Crashing instead of how she may be the next glam Mrs. Kennedy.

So I would like to ask Taylor and all those others that have crashed to promise that you will never, ever, ever not RSVP again.

Whoever said winning is everything didn’t know anything.

Last week my husband and I saw The Campaign the Zach Galfianakis, Will Ferrell election spoof.  I highly enjoyed it as I am going through a campaign of sorts right now as one of 14 in the running for the title of Best Wedding Planner, Chicago. The Campaigning has been intense between all the nominees with facebook, twitter, the usual. The best part of this campaign though has been hearing from from past clients, vendors that I work with in the industry and people that just seem to really love my work.

Here are a few of the emails/messages I have received since voting started.

Good Luck Robyn!  Hope you win!-Gail, Catering Manager

I still think about how great my wedding was and how you were such a big part of that success. -Katherine wedding from 2006

I gave you my vote, I have been stalking Red Letter for years!-Sarah Twitter Follower

I voted for you! You deserve it! -Gina wedding from 2007

And my personal favorite was from a client that posted a link to her facebook page:

If you had fun at our wedding then vote for our planner as the Best in Chicago, if Robyn hadn’t been there it could have been you dealing with the Kenilworth Police Department. -Eileen wedding from this past July

So even though I may not win I  know that what I do has touched people’s lives long after their wedding day and they are the reason I love my job and I am so glad that I took a chance to start this company, it really is an HONOR to just be nominated (though I would love to win!)

Voting goes for another 10 days-if you would like to vote for Red Letter Event Planning, click on the badge below, you can vote once every 24 hours.

It’s Pintastic! Floor-length Bridesmaids Dresses

June 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Knee-length bridesmaid dresses have been a go-to for weddings of the past few seasons – until now. Floor-length dresses for the bridesmaids are popping up everywhere, especially on Pinterest!

By matching the length with the bride, floor-length dresses maintain the symmetry of a bridal party line. They create a clean line and the guest’s eyes won’t be drawn to the legs or shoes of the bridesmaids. This can be particularly important for photos and the general look of a wedding at the altar. If you’re like me, symmetry is everything!

Floor-length dresses are flattering for almost all body types. This is especially true if they are an A-line design, which allows for maximum comfort and movement. Comfort is key at weddings, but of course we don’t want to sacrifice looking great either. That’s why a floor-length dress has you covered – it’s a perfectly classic look that keeps everyone looking sleek, slim, and comfortable at the same time.

Floor-length dresses solve a few problems too:

  • They elongate even the shortest of bridesmaids
  • Bridesmaids won’t have to show their legs – which we all know some women can be picky about. Who wants to blind the guests and photographer with pasty legs in a wintertime wedding?!
  • They save each bridesmaid from the daunting search for identical shoes since their feet won’t be showing

Floor-length dresses are very versatile when it comes to how formal a wedding is. They work for black tie of course, or they can create a relaxed, flowing, or beachy look for more casual weddings. Maxi dresses are hot right now and can be dressed up or dressed down – just like these bridesmaid dresses!

Long dresses make ombre easy and  more of a statement. These fun looks don’t have to be confined to shorter dresses, any look still works fabulously with a floor-length dress!

WeddingtonWay.com

The floor-length bridesmaid dress is a trend I love right now and its Pintastic!  Readers, do you like the long bridesmaid look? Why or why not?

Till next time I hope your next special event is a Red Letter Day!
