Logo

As I'm very busy doing my marketing research, don't have much time to focus on other things. Fortunately I've managed to create a logo (actually two). I'm very excited to announce that I'll be starting (hopefully) my own business sooner or later (the plan is for next year). There's still much too learn and to do but I am about to try it out.

Are You a start-up? If so, what kind of challenges have You had to tackle?

Mission impossible: how to survive family? part II

4. Divorced parents

Of course it's not nice that You're parents aren't together and don't really get along with each other (I know how it is). Your wedding might be a recall of all memories that Your mum and dad had when they were together. Your wedding might be another way to confront and compromised them. Because You're their beloved child I'm sure they will try their best to not to ruin Your day. If one of Your parents is already having a new partner and You're sure that it may cause some irritations ask both of Your parents to come alone (without their partners). 

Wedding themes: the secret garden

An inspiration board based on a book 'The secret garden'. Keynote elements for this theme are keys, leaves, roses, the green colour, an old gate, birds, a swing, lanterns, a fountain.

Mission impossible: how to survive family?

We've all heard stories from shop assistants about the phenomenon of families and happy couples; crazy dramas and funny stories while choosing a dress, fights because of the guests list and the budget. Those stories seem being never-ending. 

In today's post I would like to share with You some golden rules how to survive with your parents while wedding preparations. 

Wedding themes: strawberries

Summer looks like it is over so I'm back after a summer break.

Today I would like to share with all of You a wedding theme inspiration: STRAWBERRIES!!!

Stylish wedding dresses

I would like to show some of the very sassy, in my opinion, wedding gowns from Dream Dresses. Wedding designers also follow fashion. It's been said that nude is the new white. Gowns in this season are mostly designed in very bright shades of pink and gold, cream and nude, pearls and laces are all around to create a timeless and effortless look. It seems like women go for dresses that they may use not only once...

Royal style: wedding dresses

Grace Kelly stood, for a moment, alone in front of the altar of the Saint Nicholas Cathedral, dressed in an ivory tower lace, silk taffeta and thousand of pearls.

Beauty Queen: a foundation

The wedding day which means being perfect will require some perfect preparation. I know that You definitely don't want to think about Your make-up during the reception. The best step is to choose the right fundation that will last long and will be perfectly matching with Your skin type.

Royal style: wedding dresses

I find royal wedding dresses very classy, elegant and sophisticated which means they are simply beautiful (not just pretty). Royal brides definitely go for quality and yet simplicity. Less is more. So said the ever-stylist Coco Chanel, so who could argue?

Classy wedding miscellanea

Today I would like to share with You some various classy wedding ideas that might help You with Your wedding preparation. Pictures come from the Internet.

Thousand Dollar Dress

Recently I have passed by a website called Thousand Dollar Dress. It's a project run by Sonya Naumann. You can read more about it here.

I find it interesting what the author has thought of getting married and being together since her parents' divorce. I wonder how many of us think about relationships in an 'unhealthy' way becasue of our own experiences in life. Maybe that's why people rather stay in 'no-strings-attached' relations, don't look for compromises or marry for wrong reasons like money, pleasing family and friends, feeling guilty or lonely... and so on.

First dance songs

A first dance song has to be neither slow nor fast. It should be YOUR song; something that reminds You of and expresses those feelings that You have for each other. When choosing the melody You just can't think of trying to please or impress family and friends. It has to be something very intimate that only You and Your partner can really understand.

Let's start with the wedding planning

So... You and Your partner have decided to get married. What's next? The deeper You go into the topic of wedding planning, the more questions come along the way. Where is the event? When is it? How big is it? Church or city council? Dinner or buffet? DJ or band?

Those questions might be overwhelming but it doesn't mean that Your dreamed wedding idea is destroyed. Everything will go smooth as soon as You know what You want. There're some essential questions and facts that both of You have to face:

Welcome to The Fabulous Events

First of all, I would love to say hello to all of You who will pass by. 

Within a year I have been invited for four wedding parties including my father's second wedding ceremony and my sister's wedding. I have started kind of studying the subject of weddings like I almost got married last year. Though a wedding is a one day ceremony, I have been amazed how many things are involved in the entire process of planning and organising such an event.

I would love to share with You all those aspects that I have got to know in this field and things that I constantly discover. For me it is a whole wedding world and brides and grooms want this particular day to be THEIR day.  As it is mentioned in ABOUT section, I will be posting about interior decors, fashion, some encouraging quotes, recipes and everything where the word EVENTS appears.
