Spring is Right Around the Corner

Source
Spring is around the corner and we can hear the wedding bells ringing already! Spring is such a perfect time for a wedding, and why wouldn't it be? The weather gets a little warmer and flowers begin to bloom as winter fades bringing new life ...green and colors all around giving couples the perfect setting to begin their new lives together. Bouquets and bridesmaids display a colorful palette of greens, corals, pops of color and pastels! Whether your dream wedding is outside in the sunshine or inside on a Spring night surrounded by twinkling lights and flowers  we can help you make it all happen!

It's wedding season
Spring is here!
We're here to help you,
So have no fear!
Flowers are blooming,  the sun is bright...
And you look like a vision dressed in white.
Daisies, roses, gardenias, too
you'll need your old, new, borrowed, and blue....
It's almost time to start your new life...
Everything will be perfect the day you become man and wife!

Top Ten Reasons to Choose H2occasions


We are approached, in great frequency, with the question – Tell me the benefits of using a wedding planner?  More specifically, the benefits of H2occasions?  Well, rather than giving you canned answers we’d like to let our real life experiences do the talking. 

1. Bride is on a tight budget – after a one hour consultation we saved her several dollars in lodging alone.  How!? Hire us and we will share the secret!

2. Mom and her only daughter – “we just want to be able to enjoy this last thing together.”  Here! Here!  We couldn’t agree more!  Let us worry about whether or not the cake tipped over on the piano, NOT YOU.  Indeed, this is a very special time for moms and daughters, and you truly cannot put a price on quality time together, stress free!


3. My daughter always loved running in the fields as a child.  How can I make her “wedding in a field” dream come true, yet keep the ceremony reverent?  You see, we have insight into many wedding venue styles – and yes, we made her dream wedding a reality!


"I was working full-time, my daughter lived across the country but wanted to get married in Atlanta, had a huge guest list, and wanted to do a wedding that was different from all her friends—no, she didn’t want to get married in the beautiful chapel at our church, she wanted to get married in a field in April."

4. How on earth do I go about choosing a photographer?! We have a list of questions to ask your photographer.  Many stem from your specific ceremony and/or reception site.

5. How do I make my out of town guests feel welcome?  I know the day is said to be all about me, but I’d like to consider my guests!  We offer adorable gift baskets in which to enclose a welcome and thank you, along with timeslines and directions for guests and the wedding party. 

6. That takes the CAKE!  Cup cakes, cake pops, grooms cake, OH MY!  We will help you choose the most georgeous cake at a most economical price!  Serving secrets abound with us!

7. My fiancĂ©’ is in charge of our rehearsal dinner and he hasn’t one second to spare!  Not to mention he has no clue (and I love him).  No worries, “It’s all in the details” is our motto. We got this!

8. As a busy professional couple, we want our honeymoon destination to be spectacular, but we cannot spare the time to plan.  Can we give you some ideas and a budget, and you do the research for us?  Why yes we can, and we will even make sure your luggage gets in the car for the honeymoon.  Not to mention we will make sure you have the appropriate documentation with you for possible upgrades!

9. We are in a dreadful bind!  How do we tell the groom’s family what their responsibilities will be?  Moreover, how do I know what the bride’s responsibilities are?  Guess what, we know a perfectly lovely way to communicate information.  We want this to be a time of relationship building not relationship despair. 

10. How do I make sure the envelopes are addressed properly?  Have bridal party travel, but how?  How many people can we expect? And the list goes on and on.  Perhaps you aren’t even sure what questions to ask!  Rest assured!

We have had the privilege of seeing many many weddings over the years.  Although it isn’t our first wedding, it’s the first one for YOU!  We want you to know that we approach each wedding with a new prospective to make it the most magical day your mind can fathom.

Happy Valentines Day Dear Friends! We look forward to meeting you for a planning session soon!

Spreading Gratitude at Work


Source.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to pass in the night!  Let’s celebrate, after all it’s been over a month since that amazing New Year’s Eve Party.  Take time this Valentine’s Day to show those you work with a little love.  Here are some “SWEET” ideas to get your juices flowing;
·      Grap some premium coffee and brew for the crew
·      What about premium creamers to brighten the morning
·      So no coffee drinkers in the crowd, Godiva Hot Chocolate perhaps?
·      Target has some great tins in their dollar section just waiting to be filled with candy treats.  Buy them today to have your pick!
·      A note of encouragement for a job well done
·      A post-it thanking someone for going that extra mile in helping
·      And finally if you are in charge…..time off early is always a welcomed gift!
