<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello Lovelies... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am taking a little break to spend some<span style="font-size: small;"> quality </span>time with my family<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>and will resume Ask a Planner on January 9, 2013.</span></span></span><br />

<b><i><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the meantime, here are a few things I <span style="font-size: small;">encourage </span>you to do over the Holidays...</span></span></span></i></b><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Bundle up warm and take a walk at night in your neighborhood and <b><i>enjoy the beautiful houses adorned with lights</i></b>! It's very inspiring.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Call or visit someone unsuspecting and<b><i> tell them how much they mean to you</i></b>. You could literally make someone's year a little brighter.</span></span></span><br />

Some of the silliest, sweetest and most unpredictable moments often come from the <strong>flower girl</strong> and<strong> ring bearer’s</strong> innocence and playfulness. Its so much fun to see photographers capture the flower girls and ring bearers in candid and posed moments that demonstrate their personalities.</span> <br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If the ring bearer and flower girl are prone to restlessness, have them sit with their families rather than standing for the wedding. If your ring bearer is fairly young, you may feel safer putting<strong> fake rings</strong> on the pillow and have your best man hold the real rings. By preparing your ring bearer and flower girl as best as you can during the rehearsal, you can ensure that the wedding goes smoothly and that they understand their <strong>special duties</strong> for the ceremony and feel <strong>super important. </strong>Regardless of any mad dashes or adorable slip ups, you can count on them to break the ice and melt everyone's heart.</span><br />

Or stomp. Or jump on the seat. Or begin to cry. I've seen it happen every time, and met loads of honorable husbands who quickly rush them out of hearing range and miss most of the wedding. I have a mega soft spot for babies and would happily hang out with them all day if I could. It's hard to put "Adults Only" in your invitation with the risk of your close friends not being able to make it because they have little ones. If everyone is welcome, here are a few idea's to create a <strong>kid friendly</strong> wedding. <u>Happy children, calm enjoyable wedding.</u></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They have to spot a variety of typical wedding day occurrences / outfits and tick them off on their list and capture it with their disposable camera. This works really well for older children 7-11 who will be able to do this independently.

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some items to include in a<strong> child’s goody bag</strong> (suitable for ages 3-6)</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The aim is to provide toys and activities that aren’t noisy and don’t require close adult supervision, so avoid very small items and steer clear of musical instruments…obviously. Bubbles, treats, <strong>crayons</strong>, <strong>colouring books, playdough</strong> and <strong>finger puppets</strong> can be purchased really inexpensively from your local dollar store.</span><br />

As she so graciously is hosting her daughter's wedding at her estate, her one and only important input about the wedding is <strong>LIGHTS. Lights lights lights lights every where lights</strong>. And with an outdoor reception in the summer, lighting adds such a stunning atmosphere!! There are so many ways to add lighting to your decor. You could cover your hedges in <strong>strings of LED </strong>lights, line your aisle with <strong>candles</strong>, hang <strong>lanterns</strong> from the trees, light up the house with coloured <strong>spotlighting</strong>, the possibilities are endless! Take a look at these photos for inspiration.

<span style="font-size: small;">Genève first
began her wedding career in 1999 as the Catering Manager for one of Vancouver’s
most sought after wedding venues, Brock House Restaurant. In 2004 Genève
and college friend Sarah Shore ambitiously started up what is now one of
Vancouver's longest running and most trusted wedding planning companies,
DreamGroup Productions Inc.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-size: small;">These
days,
in addition to working with her clients in a full planning capacity and
raising her two wonderful boys Harrison and Campbell with her husband,
Genève
focuses her attention on the sales and marketing aspects of the company
and is
most often the friendly voice you will chat with when first inquiring
with
DreamGroup. Genève is known to inspire and excite both clients and
industry associates alike with her exuberant personality and joie de
vivre! Her ability to be refreshingly candid and her in depth knowledge
of the wedding industry have earned her the friendly moniker “Two-Cents
McNally”. Genève also teaches the Wedding Planning classes offered
through the dg Academy and is the chief correspondent behind
DreamGroup's weekly
Blog feature Ask a Planner. </span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know guys think women are hard to shop for, but when trying to find the <strong>perfect gift</strong> for your <strong>groomsmen</strong>, it may seem the opposite is true. Sure, you can always get them cuff links or a flask, but how many do they really need? You don't want to give them a gift that’s just going to end up in the bottom of a drawer or a box in the attic.. Try thinking outside of the box and choosing gifts that compliment their <strong>personal </strong>interests.</span></div>

"DIY vs. Hiring a Pro?"<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;">Hello. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br />Can you recommend a florist that will give me the best value? I am looking for tall centerpieces of white and purple roses. I can't decide between DIY or hiring a florist. Would you recommend doing the floral yourself? Thx.</span></span></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br /><br />Hello Rachel,</span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br />Wedding florals come in all shapes, styles and budgets. Whether to DIY it or hire a pro often means you fall into one of two categories... <i><b>cr</b></i><i><b>eative and crafty</b></i> or <b><i>budget conscious</i></b> -- and sometimes it's both! You are either <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">not afraid to get your hands dir<span style="font-size: small;">ty and <span style="font-size: small;">genuinely</span> want to<span style="font-size: small;"> be <span style="font-size: small;">a</span> hands on DIY bride</span></span></span></span> or you are<span style="font-size: small;"> simply</span> trying to maximize your budget and <i><b>think DIYing will save you money.</b></i> </span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br /><b><i>The truth i</i></b><b><i>s, it can save you money</i></b><i><b>, but it's not always the case</b></i> as it really depends on what you have in mind and secondly it comes at a different kind of cost -- a "time" cost. Most brides who choose to DIY (whether it be for flowers, invitations or cake) say later on that it was <b><i>far larger a project or investment of their time and energy than they could have ever anticipated</i></b>. Some regret it and others say it was tough, but they wouldn't have had it any other way. They enjoyed being able to say they had a very <b><i>active hand in making their own wedding vision come to life</i></b>. </span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br />As I touched on above, DIYing does <b><i>not always </i></b>save you money because once you purchase the vases, the flowers, pay for the gas to drive around getting all the bits and pieces it can often <i><b>end up being very close to if not the same price that a modest wedding pro might have charged</b></i> as they already own the vase and already regularly have flowers in store, etc. This doesn't account for your time either. <b><i> Typically a floral centerpiece will range anywhere in price between $50 and $400.00 each depending on the size, type of flowers, and florist being used.</i></b></span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><br />My suggestion is that you meet with a 2 florists <span style="font-size: small;"><u>(</u></span>or maybe 3 if you <span style="font-size: small;">have the time)</span> to determine what your vision might cost and then do some thinking and a little homework and do what works best for you. <b><i>Below are a few local budget<span style="font-size: small;"> friendly</span> (and reputable) suggestions for you to look into:</i></b></span></span></span>

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Genève first
began her wedding career in 1999 as the Catering Manager for one of Vancouver’s
most sought after wedding venues, Brock House Restaurant. In 2004 Genève
and college friend Sarah Shore ambitiously started up what is now one of
Vancouver's longest running and most trusted wedding planning companies,
DreamGroup Productions Inc.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">These
days,
in addition to working with her clients in a full planning capacity and
raising her two wonderful boys Harrison and Campbell with her husband,
Genève
focuses her attention on the sales and marketing aspects of the company
and is
most often the friendly voice you will chat with when first inquiring
with
DreamGroup. Genève is known to inspire and excite both clients and
industry associates alike with her exuberant personality and joie de
vivre! Her ability to be refreshingly candid and her in depth knowledge
of the wedding industry have earned her the friendly moniker “Two-Cents
McNally”. Genève also teaches the Wedding Planning classes offered
through the dg Academy and is the chief correspondent behind
DreamGroup's weekly
Blog feature Ask a Planner. </span></blockquote>

Some brides choose to use family heirlooms in their creations while others buy a designed brooch bouquet. However, these rang from hundreds of dollars to thousands!

Located in the historic building that turned 100 this year, the delicious and unique restaurant <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heirloomveg%20"><span style="font-size: large;">Heirloom</span></a> is revealed at 1509 West 12th Ave to be exact, in the heart of the South Granville District. The restaurant welcomes you with simple yet a warm ambiance.<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/heirloomveg">Heirloom</a> describes their restaurant experience as "contemporary dining experienced with a beautiful, current menu that boats healthy, casual, interesting food from brunch and dinner, complemented by fresh witty cocktail , a respectable organic wine list and a great selection of local small craft beers". Yes my vegan friends, there is plently for you to choose from the menu :).<br />

Not to worry, you won't break your bank, especially those who are planning a wedding, (your Wedding Planner will be thrilled to know you aren't going into the wedding budget to dine here!). The plates are mostly prepared for sharing typically ranging at $18 per plate, and will not be disappointed with the taste of each dish at this
restaurant; yes, the meat lover in you may die after realizing how amazing
vegetarian food is! <br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/heirloomveg">Heirloom</a> a great spot to meet with your wedding party, let your hair down and brainstorm ideas for the wedding over a glass of wine as you share the delicious food plates. Or perfect for a date night with your partner to de-stress.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Date Night Tip:</u></b></span><br />
The <a href="http://www.artsclub.com/20122013/plays/she-stoops-to-conquer.htm">Stanley Theatre</a> is right on Granville Street, not even a block away from Heirloom. May I suggest, dinner at Heirloom and a show afterwards at the Stanley. Go ahead, surprise your loved one or maid of honor (with all the hard work she/he is putting into your wedding!). Check out this <a href="http://www.artsclub.com/shows/index.htm#stanley">link</a> for shows at The <a href="http://www.artsclub.com/shows/index.htm#stanley">Stanley</a>.<br />
<br />
Bon a petite readers and happy date night!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's what I would do... First, talk again with your fiance<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">(when you <span style="font-size: small;">know you have</span> his full attention) </span></span>and explai<span style="font-size: small;">n how worried you are about the <span style="font-size: small;">situation</span> and the affect it could have on your future. <span style="font-size: small;">Perhaps if he under<span style="font-size: small;">stands just how serious this issue is he will be able to work with you better to come up with a solution. <span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>He could be brushing it off because he </i></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>knows his family better than you and really thinks it'</i></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>s a non-issue <span style="font-size: small;">OR</span> it could be that he just doesn<span style="font-size: small;">'</span>t want to face <span style="font-size: small;">the fact that his family <span style="font-size: small;">may not be </span>as crazy about you as he is</span>.</i></b> Either way, it <span style="font-size: small;">warrants</span> further discussion<span style="font-size: small;"> between the two of you.</span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once you have <span style="font-size: small;">determined<span style="font-size: small;"></span> <span style="font-size: small;">just </span>how serious the issue actually i<span style="font-size: small;">s </span></span></span>I would do one of two things:</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If together you <span style="font-size: small;">determine</span> that it's most likely not <span style="font-size: small;">as personal or dire as you first thought<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>then y</span></span>ou<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>r next steps might include calling</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i> <span style="font-size: small;">up </span>his mom and ask her to join you for a coffee, a glass of wine</i></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>, or a pedicure some time</i></b>! I'm not suggesting you become best friends, but<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> i</span><span style="font-size: small;">t is very possible that her</span> standoffish<span style="font-size: small;"> behavior</span> <b><i>could just be that she doesn't know how to break the ice with </i></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>you</i></b><span style="font-size: small;"> and doesn't realize how rude she is being<span style="font-size: small;"> in the process</span></span>.<span style="font-size: small;"> Th<span style="font-size: small;">ere is a lot to be said for being the first to extend the olive branch or invitation! Maybe <span style="font-size: small;">if she sees that you are making an effort<span style="font-size: small;"> to g<span style="font-size: small;">et to know her she will in turn open <span style="font-size: small;">up.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now, in the event that this just doesn't feel right and<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b> </b></i>you<i><b><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></b></i>both</span> know deep down there's more to it than simply a misunderstanding<span style="font-size: small;">, then<b><i> I think "John" might need to have a few words </i></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>with his mom privately about how her behavio<span style="font-size: small;">r</span> is affecting </i></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>you and your relationship</i></b>.

At the very young age of 2, <a href="http://jaclynguillou.com/bio/">Jaclyn Guillou</a> knew she had found one of her passions. Once you hear her beautiful voice, you will be hooked and taken to a different land, which I like to call "Land of DayDream" and once you listen to her songs, you will understand what I mean. Miss Guillou and her band will help you create the perfect ambiance for your guests to remember your wedding or event! I have had the honor of Jaclyn Guillou share her amazing voice at some of my weddings, corporate events and private home events. At the weddings, Jaclyn sang during<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> the</span></span> cocktail hour and dinner reception, which provided the perfect ambiance for guests to enjoy! <br />

What an experience...I finally ticked one of the items off of my bucket list which was doing a boudoir shoot. The photographer that I selected for this shoot was <a href="http://jenniferwilliams.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer Williams</a>. I had seen her work and knew that it was great and when I chatted with her I knew that I would be comfortable shedding my clothes in front of her. She's worked with so many women and so many different body shapes and really understands how to make a woman look and feel good in front of the camera. <br />
<br />
To start of the day, I had my hair & makeup done by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/MakeupByKelly" target="_blank">Kelly Trerise</a> who is an amazing artist. We all chatted and got comfortable and when it was time to start shooting, it was just Jen and myself in her studio. We used lots of props that were in her place and I was able to change into lots of different outfits for the different looks I wanted to have. I had prepared for the shoot by finding inspiration on her <a href="http://pinterest.com/boudoirstudio/boudoir-posing-inspiration/" target="_blank">Pinterest board </a>of various looks that appealed to me and while we were shooting she used the inspiration that I had found to create my own personal shots.<br />
<br />
I never once felt shy or awkward during the shoot because I knew that Jen had shot so many women and this is really a passion for her. She loves what she does and it shows! And throughout the entire time she instructed me on how to pose...so I never felt lost or silly.<br />
<br />
When I got my photos back I was thrilled. There were so many fantastic shots...and I'm really very thankful for Jen for making this lifetime goal so easy to achieve.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the women Jen has shot. And to start it off, check out this behind the scenes video:<br />

I don't want to sound ungrateful or come across like a bridezilla, but I'm
getting married in June of next year and am worried that my maid of honour and
bridesmaids are going to throw me a tacky "bride in a cheesy veil drinking
from a penis straw" stagette at some local top 40 nightmare of a club and
would love to avoid the embarrassing parade. Can you please suggest some
alternatives?</i></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Thank you!</i></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You are hilarious! Thank you for making me laugh out loud today! I
don't think you are a Bridezilla at all for wanting to try and avoid the cliche
stagette party. Good for you in fact for thinking about it and voicing an
opinion while there's still time to come up with a different plan! The
great news is there are many awesome alternatives to the
"traditional" stagette as you've so colorfully outlined above.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These days brides are often a little older, smarter, and are thankfully
looking for some more creative, healthy, and/or interesting things to do with
their girlfriends to celebrate the occasion. I have listed below my top 5
suggestions for a Stagette here in Vancouver. Maybe forward this post to
your maid of honour and girlfriends as a sort of FYI... :O) Good luck!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">TOP 5 STAGETTE IDEAS (that do not include veils <span style="font-size: small;">or</span> p<span style="font-size: small;">*</span>n<span style="font-size: small;">*</span>s straws):</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. <b><u>Spa Party:</u></b> Who doesn't love getting pampered?
Contact your favorite local spa (or step it up a notch and make it a weekend
affair at a destination spa) and book a group session for manis-pedis-massage
for all! Find a spa that offers private rooms or designated areas for
group events. Bring champagne, order some food, plug in a favourite movie
like Bridesmaids if applicable, and RELAX! Not the most unique idea, but
fun and easy. My personal Vancouver Favs... <a href="http://spaon4th.com/">http://spaon4th.com/</a>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. <b><u>Pole Dancing Lessons:</u></b> Yup I said it! This new found
fun fat burning activity is a really fun way to unwind and laugh yourself silly
with your girlfriends while picking up some new sexy moves. <a href="http://www.poledancestudio.com/about.php">http://www.poledancestudio.com/about.php</a></span></span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. <b><u>A Makeover Party:</u></b> This one is both fun and practical!
What better time than now to try a new look or better yet learn how to enhance
your best features like a pro with a private group makeover and lesson.
Contact Jayna Marie at Fancy Face Academy to inquire! <a href="http://www.jaynamarie.com/JBMakeupArtistry/Fancy_Face_Academy.html">http://www.jaynamarie.com/JBMakeupArtistry/Fancy_Face_Academy.html</a></span></span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. <b><u>Bootcamp:</u></b> I know, I know it sounds awful, but it's actually
really fun and whether you are a Grouse grind fitness fanatic or exercise
avoiding couch potato you will enjoy the endorphin inducing activity (if not
during at least afterwards when you are feeling happy and proud of yourself)!
:O) <a href="http://www.barrefitness.com/our-classes">http://www.barrefitness.com/our-classes</a></span></span></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">5.<b><u>Shopping Party:</u></b> This is a super fun way to spend an evening
with your girls! There are several local clothing and specialty boutiques in
Vancouver that will book private shopping parties after hours at no cost.
<span style="font-size: small;">Ultimately they are hoping you will make a few purchases to make it worth their while<span style="font-size: small;">,</span></span> but it's not mandatory of every attendee. Many of them will <span style="font-size: small;">allow food, drinks, and music to help set the mood<span style="font-size: small;">!</span></span> <a href="http://www.sephora.com/">http://www.sephora.com/</a> or book a Diva's Den Party <span style="font-size: small;">at my absolute

Whether you leave your hair <strong>down</strong>, pull it <strong>half-up</strong>, <strong>braided, </strong>add<strong> flowers</strong> or go with an <strong>updo</strong>, your hair style should reflect your personality. Be sure to try a few different options during your trial with your stylist, or why not enjoy 2 looks on your wedding day? Long flowy and romantic during your ceremony, then have your stylist on hand to pin it up with tons of volume for the reception. Best of both worlds and won't need to worry about your curls falling as you tear up that dance floor late into the night with your handsome new hubby.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did not stumble upon this classy joint, I was desperately looking for it!! A recent bride of mine asked for my help in surprising her groom with something special on the night of their wedding. As she explained, the drink they shared on their first date was <strong>Moscow Mule</strong>, and she would like to have it during a private moment just the two of them while she gave her own personal vows to him. HOW ROMANTIC!!</span> </div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had never heard of <strong>Moscow Mule</strong> before, but I quickly learn that it is <strong>soo delicious, served in a copper mug, and hard to find!</strong> Thank goodness I was eventually pointed in the direction of </span><a href="http://www.themodernbartender.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Modern Bartender</span></a><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> located in China Town.

<i><b>what your fiancé would be thinking when he saw you for the first time</b></i>, and talked
endlessly with family and friends in anticipation of this most important day. Then all of a sudden it’s over in what often
feels quite literally like two hours when in fact it was 20 hours from the

special time i<span style="font-size: small;">n a <span style="font-size: small;"><i>woman's</i></span> l</span>ife when she can settle into a relationship that is <span style="font-size: small;"><i>committed</i></span>, constant, and reassuring. Relish
in the idea that you have found a partner in crime to share your life’s journey. I know a few people who have yet to find that
kind of love. </span></span></span></div>

up, you wait in anticipation for the photos (and maybe film) which hopefully
capture that very precious moment in your lives to perfection. Complete (or begin if you have not already<b><i><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></i></b><span style="font-size: small;">started</span>) writing your "thank yous" to your generous guests and the wedding professionals who helped make the day what it was. You might <b><i>collect all the resources you used</i></b>
in planning your wedding and <i><b>pass them on to a future bride in waiting</b></i>. Perhaps <i><b>start a Blog to share your insights
and best advice</b></i> for those brides to be who might benefit from your wisdom. You
may even have a couple friends who are getting married who might benefit from a
friend who wants to get their hands a little dirty! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">These
days,
in addition to working with her clients in a full planning capacity and
raising her two wonderful boys Harrison and Campbell with her husband,
Genève
focuses her attention on the sales and marketing aspects of the company

with
DreamGroup. Genève is known to inspire and excite both clients and
industry associates alike with her exuberant personality and joie de
vivre! Her ability to be refreshingly candid and her in depth knowledge
of the wedding industry have earned her the friendly moniker “Two-Cents
McNally”. Genève also teaches the Wedding Planning classes offered
through the dg Academy and is the chief correspondent behind
DreamGroup's weekly
Blog feature Ask a Planner. </span></blockquote>
