February 2015 Tips & Inspiration

If you missed them on facebook here are my tips and inspirations from February.

February 4: Wedding Tip Wednesday: Let your fingers do the walking! If you’re looking for a reception site, email them and ask to be emailed a package and availability. Once you get packages from places, put together a spreadsheet to easily compare categories such as base price, centerpieces included, wine included, bar length, etc. Need help putting this together? Give me call, I’d be happy to help! You’d be amazed at how easy it is to compare sites when it’s all in black and white. 630-903-0956 or jennifer@jennifersuttonevents.com

February 6: Floral Inspiration Friday: Rock Candy in a bouquet?!?! Not sure but I think I kinda like it…What do you think? This bouquet by Flowers by Susanhttp://www.flowersbysusansimi.com/index.php?splash=1

February 11: Wedding Tip Wednesday: Placecards, Escort cards…whatever you like to call them – organize them alphabetically! These little cards or line on a poster are meant to help your guests find their seats with ease. When you organize them by table your guests still have to read through everything to find their name. They can still be pretty and creative – but don’t forget the purpose. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/10625749094008291/

February 18: Wedding Tip Wednesday: Planning a wedding and buying a house are 2 of the most stressful things you can do. If you want to do both at the same time, make sure you have professionals that can help you navigate and take off some of the stress! For home buying, I highly recommend The Sue Pearce Team at JW Reedy. Not sure where you stand in the real estate market? They can help you figure out what is going to work best for you! http://suepearce.com/
