Amazing THANK YOU letter!

Dear Jenna and Jen,

WOW! What else is there to say? You both are simply amazing. Thank you so much for giving us the wedding of our dreams. I never dreamed it could've been this perfect. Planning a wedding from out of town was trying at times but you made it happen. You were always there with a comforting email or just a cheerful voice on the other end of a phone call.

I remember when my mom called to tell me that she had hired you as our wedding planners. I was super excited. After our first "in person" meeting, I was ecstatic! I knew that we had made the right decision back then and even more so now.

The whole wedding weekend was simply perfect. Thank you both for all of your hardwork and attention to detail. You both are truly special and have a real gift. We are so sad that our wedding is over but hopfully we can still keep in touch. You are wonderful and we are so lucky to have had you with us during the whole process and on our big day. We will never forget it! The day was magical. I will always remember walking into the reception for our "sneak peek" and my eyes filling up with tears of amazement and joy. I was overwhelemed! None of it would've been possible without you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you and can't thank you enough for everything!

Love,
Kendall & Trevor Heaton

Don't really love flowers? Trying to find something to use as your wedding centerpieces that says "WOW" without having to use tons of florals??? Check out these creative ideas:

Lyndsay and Tim

Wow, what can I even say about this April 10th WEDDING besides AMAZING!!! One of our dearest friends, Lyndsay, married the love of her life and we both were able to stand up next to her on her big day.

Now, since we were both bridesmaids our incredible assistant, Sam really took charge and made sure everything ran smoothly not only for Lyndsay and Tim but also so we could enjoy this special moment in our lives with one of our closet friends.

The night was spectacular. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Prince of Peace church and then had an over the top reception at one of our favorite venues of all times, LPGA International. We felt at peace the entire night knowing that Lorraine at LPGA and her professional staff had it all covered.

Check out the sneak peak of Leah Jean Photography's breathtaking work at the wedding. Here is an amazing wedding board Leah made to showcase some of her favorite pictures.

Congrats Lyndz-y and Dub, we LOVE YOU!!!

Thanks again to the amazing vendors who made this day possible.

Creative Guest Book Ideas

One element of your wedding day is having a guest book for your guests to sign for you to keep as a memorabilia from your wedding. Since it is 2010, many celebrate!LLC brides and grooms are requesting a fun, modern type of guest book. Here are a few trendy options for your keepsake:

Have a photobooth at your wedding for your guest to snap their pictures and then sign a message to you

Have your guests sign a keepsake plate and show it off in your new house

For the couple who loves music, have your guests sign a old record

Have your guests sign a blank photo mat around one of your beautiful engagement pictures to later be hung in your house


For the creative couple who wants an interesting piece of art displayed in their house, have your guests sign little pieces of glass and then hang them on wire

The Non-Cake Wedding Cake

One of the main ingredients at a wedding reception is of course the fabulous wedding cake. But what happens when the bride and groom do not like cake at all??? What choices do they have to still have a cake that appears to be a wedding cake but is actually something different?

Well below are some fun options for the Non-Cake Wedding Cake:

ICECREAM CAKE

TWINKLE CAKE

COOKIE CAKE

TRUFFLE CAKE

DONUT CAKE

Amazing Review!

My wonderful bride and groom's heartlfelt thank you letter:


Jen was AMAZING. Honestly, there are no words that can describe what she did for us, celebrate! was beyond amazing. At first, I was undecided about hiring a planner, but after meeting with Jen from celebrate! I knew that because she was so professional and experienced, it was worth the extra money to hire her. I had no idea at that time how truly PRICELESS what she did for us would be. At our wedding, we had many crazy things happen- the best man was in an accident and couldn't make the wedding because he was in the hospital, our florist was 2 hours late with the flowers, table linens and decorations- you name it, it happened.I could not believe there was so much craziness, we are not dramatic people, and I never in my wildest dreams imagined that that would be "our" day. Despite the chaos, somehow Jen brought it all together and our guests had no idea. Steve and I want to thank Jen and celebrate! from the bottom of our hearts, because without her, we would not have had a reception set up at all. She was the heroine of the day, and we will always be so thankful we found her. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator- let me tell you, YOU SHOULD HIRE celebrate! Not just any wedding planner would have been able to handle what Jen was faced with, and not only did she pull everything together, but she was professional, calm and efficient in everything that she did. Jen, thank you for everything that you have done for us, we will never forget you and wish you the very best. You are a wonderful person and we are so lucky to have had you with us on our wedding day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Much love, Danielle and Steve- Lady Lake, FL

Reality TV Show

Jen and I are so excited that we can hardly contain ourselves!! celebrate! was approached by television producers on making a fun, positive image reality tv show featured around our lives as wedding planners in Florida. We started taping for our pilot episode and cannot wait for a station to pick up our new show.

We are so thrilled to showcase our amazing work, incredible clients, premier vendors, and our spectacular designs!! We will keep you posted on airing times and network.

Here is a great photo from the taping:

Thanks to the film crew and producers for this fabulous opportunity!!!

Feathers, Feathers, and More Feathers

Incorporating feathers into your wedding day decor is a hot new trend for 2010. You can add this special accent to your wedding dress, your invitations, and your centerpieces. The feathers add a fun texture to your wedding and will give it an unique concept that many couples prior to you have not used for their wedding decor. Here are some fun options to add feathers:

This breathtaking wedding dress has white feathers as its skirt

This invitation is dressed with funky black feathers to add texture

This cake is topped with a headdress of white feathers

The floral designer used all feathers for this centerpiece
The bride accented her simply hair style with a funky hair piece composed of feathers
