3 in 1
1) I just finished the “How to Start A Wedding Business Class” with Peggy Jewell (www.jewellentertainment.com). She’s actually the first (and probably only) Peggy I’ve met and she’s a jewel. Ok, she’d probably not describe herself as that but I was just going off her last name. She has been an amazing instructor and really held our attention by, not only telling us stories of her wedding planning experiences, but being very funny and witty! I hope to be like her when I reach her age… and then like Joan (another Wedding planner) when I’m 80!
2) Peggy invited us as students to the ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) networking event held at Anthology this past Tuesday. Has anyone ever been?! This place is super chic! I’ve heard of the place and seen pictures from the website but it totally doesn’t compare to actually being there. It has three levels, live jazz music, a private dining/meeting room, and most importantly, delicious food! (My mouth is watering as I type!) The ABC event was a lot of fun! I got plenty of business cards, yummy cupcake (by Flour Power), Boucher Photography captured the event (boudoir photo session, ladies?), the table settings, organic/sustainable floral arrangements – everything was beautiful (Note to self: ALWAYS bring camera). I think the most important thing was getting to know my fellow classmates/future event planners. We had a blast!
3) A plug: After graduating, my college friend Aimee got into Otis College of Art and Design in L.A. She’s now in her senior year and has interned for Nike and most recently, her project is to design a wedding dress with Monique Lhuillier, a famous bridal gown fashion designer (Britney Spears wore her dress to her wedding to Kevin Federline). Monique is my dream wedding dress designer so I’m extra excited for Aimee. You can check out her blog to keep up with this up and coming fashion designer: www.aimeesantos.wordpress.com.
