Ease Your Bridal Research Strategy

Photo by, DUPhotography.com

It’s a “Given” - Brides surf the web when shopping for all their bridal needs. We all get busy reviewing designer gowns and styles of wedding dresses, tuxes and want to find our local shops. We explore hundreds of links to wedding venues.

We are driven to use the lunch hour at work and stay up until 1 or 2 am to surf.  So here are some tips to help get back to that perfect wedding dress you saw and find those exciting wedding venue, reception services you liked or honeymoon location. So between our work computer and home, we become “frazzled” when we cannot find the item we liked.  We have all signed on to so many websites we become deluged with e-mails. Even the professional Wedding Services ask you to sign in to enter their websites….

So here are a few helpful tips and I trust you will sign on to the blog and add your tips to the following:

1. Take out an e-mail address – specific to your wedding planning time and dump it after the wedding. This way your personal e- account can continue for your friends and family.
2. If you are going to sign up everywhere, use the same password
3. Find and use “Free Access Web Portals” where all your shopping can be completed from one or two geographical areas (menu).
4. Shopping for wedding locations can be difficult – find a website that shows the number of guests in the description, so you do not spend hours looking inside the websites for this information.
5. Look beyond the first two pages on your Search Engine searches – there are amazing companies.
6. Bookmark a web address you like or e-mail to your bridal e-mail so you can get back to it quickly.  Research is difficult enough without losing your favorites.

You will find all the above tools on…

Safety TIPS For Weddings & Receptions

Who would ever dream a wedding and reception could be unsafe in any way?   Surprisingly, there are a few things to think ahead about regarding safety for yourself and guests beside the responsible hospitality rules around alcohol serving.  Please join us on the Blog and share your safety issues and ideas for safer parties and events.

1. Children:  In a public setting, children should be attended constantly for their safety.  Many locations have pools, ponds, trees to climb and ocean surf.  We find parents relax with a few drinks and sometimes do not pay attention to what their children are involved with.  We find brides hire nannies or special entertainment and sometimes have a play room or tent on the beach set up for the children to be accounted for. At some locations, large trucks and cars moving in parking lots can be a concern.

2. Using an event site with non permitted kitchens can often lead to lack of fire equipment and exits. Poor refrigeration and stoves can be a nightmare to work with and food spoils. 

3. Couples lighting the unity candle can set the wedding veil on fire.  Candles at the ceremony area need to be placed firmly into the candelabras indoors and in a glass container outside.  Check with facility rules before purchasing candles, some event sites and churches do not allow them. 

4.  Electrical Power concerns for event rooms or back yards is a big problem and important question to ask if you have a musical entertainment, electric light show and need of a back-up generator.

5. Horses are beautiful and a wonderful part of a wedding, but they often weigh 1,500 pounds or more and have been known to step (unintentionally) on the feet of humans.  Also, if a horse is not used to crowds, it may become excited, buck and run.

6. For private home or ranch events: Parking areas in fields or grassy areas could be subject to fire with car ignition sparks starting one.  Please have canister fire equipment and watering hose hooked up and on hand, and a parking attendant to watch over this.

Many brides take out wedding insurance for their event, find out more on our web portals:

Tips For Planning A Trip To The South Pacific Islands of Hawaii, Tahiti and Fiji

We just returned from a research trip to Hawaii, Tahiti and the Fiji  Islands for our new IPad and Kindle books, "Romantic Destinations". This will be released in late December 2012 along with our new "Romantic Destination - Napa and SonomaWine Country".  

Join me on the Blog and please add your input to our list of Travel TIPS.

This area covers the (related size) land mass of Europe. There are hundreds of tropical islands and atolls with white sand beaches and black lava beaches, beautiful palm trees, the sweetest pineapple and exciting views. The memorable friendliness of the diverse cultures will live in our memories for years. There are awesome hotels and resorts waiting for tourist from all parts of the world seeking vacations, wedding destinations and romantic honeymoon spots.  These areas are packed with extreme sports, surfing, diving, zip line, swimming with sharks or manta rays, wonderful tours and relaxing and awe inspiring venues.

We are still getting our photos out of the camera..... Yes, you can believe the colors in these photos.

We found so many wonderful event sites and unique services, fun tours and great restaurants. We hope you can enjoy some time there soon. We met with many owners, managers and event coordinators for interviews (regarding the books) and some of the questions we asked surrounded travel concerns they experienced with their guests....here are a few to discuss.

#1.  The islands take some time to get there.  They saw honeymooners so exhausted from the trip they could not enjoy the first few days of their stay.  They recommended couples come a week after their wedding day or later, so they were not so tired from the wedding preparations. When planning to be married at the honeymoon resort, it is best to plan two days after arriving.

#2.  The islands each have a north, south, east and west side to stay on.  For no disappointments, ask which way the hotel/water bungalow faces and if the beaches are swim safe and the sand coloration before you book them. Some beaches have sugar white sand and others black sand.

#3.  Working up to the sun's rays is always a concern. They are close to the equator and people need to understand the sun blocks only block bad rays, not the burns.   Working from 10 minutes up to the next 5 minutes and on up - works best in achieving a non-red or peeling tan.  They have had many a couples getting married be a bright red and many couples nursing a sunburn and destroying their honeymoon.

#4.  Food prices are considerably higher than your home town.  After all, they do have to ship in many items.

You will find many of the resorts, hotels and services already linked on WeddingLinks.com - Search the area and remember Tahiti is part of French Polynesia and Hawaii is United States.
