Wanting a classic, chic venue and a foodie vibe, the couple chose Café Lurcat, not only for its amazing menu, but also its stone archway halls, chandelier-dripping ceilings and checkerboard floors. Inspired When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. But when life hands you Chas Lemon, as it did for Anna Kovalchuk, you fall head-over-heels in by the color of Michael’s sweater in their engagement photos, Breanne was drawn to the color blue, which popped in accents of love. Meeting as teenagers, this couple tied the knot eight years later at the Calhoun Beach Club, where lemons were the perfect garnish for their all kinds. The only thing not blue? Wedding-day skies. “It rained,” says Breanne. “And when I say it rained, I mean it rained all big day. The sunny citrus fruit had a starring role on personalized napkins, lemon wreaths flanking the doors into the ballroom, the lemon-tree morning, all day, all night. My hair got wet, my curls fell, but I would not change a single thing. I am living proof that rain can place card table and little boxes of Lemonhead candy guest favors. The day was even more aglow thanks to natural light pouring in the venue’s still make for an amazing and special day, and I love my wedding more for it.” grand windows, glittery sequin tablescapes and dipped-in-gold accents and décor throughout the space. But despite the stunning look of this special event, the most eye-catching thing for the bride and groom was one another. “There is nothing quite like seeing the person you are going to marry for the first time that day,” says Anna. “I cried immediately and was overwhelmed with happiness and love.” The two shared vows they wrote themselves, before Mr. and Mrs. Lemon puckered up for their first kiss as husband and wife.

The two were originally on the same team together, In historic Antigua, Guatemala, Andres Bucaro rented a private room in a restaurant and filled it with 75 flickering candles and a rose-petal path that led to even sitting across from one another. However, it took promotions to separate teams for each of them before they realized love had been staring the spot where he would ask for Alyssa DuVal’s hand in marriage. With such a magical, romantic proposal, it’s hard to imagine how their wedding could top them right in the face. Tom finally got up the nerve to ask out Bri, then proposed about a year later over a picnic of favorite foods and wine at the it.

When it came time to say “I do,” selecting a venue was easy. “We fell in love as far as the eye could see, the couple kept their palette neutral to play up more rustic touches such as white lights artfully tangled in wooden branches and with Orchestra Hall when we first walked into it,” explains Tom, who says it was the bright and airy feel of the atrium that captured their hearts. vintage chandeliers. “The reception was adjacent to the ceremony area, in an old wooden barn connected to a large tent; it was straight out of my dreams for Making the space their own, the two called on a vivid and bold color palette for their florals and touches of preppy navy and white stripes to give a my big day,” says Alyssa. Andres is from Guatemala and most of his family lives there, so the couple incorporated his family background with bright colors and personal touch to the clean backdrop of their modern venue. traditional textiles, many handmade. The event was a wonderful mixture of cultures, much like the very-in-love newlywed couple.

A. Mickiewicz, Pan Tadeusz 1.1. What is etiquette and why do you need to know and ob- serve it? The word “etiquette” in the context of this discussion means “the rules of behaviour standard in polite society” (The New Lexicon 1988, p. 325). Commonly, etiquette is interpreted as good manners, which may apply to various social settings with the business setting being one of the most important. The latter is also an ambiguous term that for the needs of fur- ther considerations will be understood as a “workplace”, within which, and in relation to which, we establish relationships with other actors of economic transactions. It may be an enterprise, an office or a law firm, but also a public institution, research centre or university. The staff and clients of all these establishments should exhibit good manners. By following etiquette, we show respect to others.

    How To Write Proposals That Sell And Book More Weddings More Quickly a downloadable course by Alison Ellis Hey, Floralpreneur! Welcome to How To Write Proposals That Sell And Book More Weddings More Quickly. I’m so glad you’re here! I’m taking you behind the curtain of my business to show you how I build a wedding proposal. A lot of time and preparation goes into a proposal before booking an event and over the years I’ve learned how to streamline my pre-booking process while still delivering a personalized quote for my customers. Creating a proposal takes quite a bit of time, focus and creative energy which is why florists sometimes delay them. We want to give it our best effort, but that means time…and ideas…and we’re not under deposit yet. Sitting down to write a proposal is a commitment. And there’s no guarantee our work will result in a booking. So we push it off…. …And the longer we wait to write the proposal, the longer the client is kept waiting, and the longer it takes to finally book the job! A template makes it easier to write proposals, which allows for a faster turn around time to your customer, and that will help you book clients more quickly. You can take the tips in this proposal template and turn them into your very own customized proposal template that allows you to book more of your ideal clients more quickly. You can employ these tips with any of the proposal software programs you may currently be using.

  • Bride-To-Be to Do List
    Bride TO DO LIST YOUR 12-MONTH WEDDING-PLANNING CHECKLIST 12 MONTHS OUT Determine your budget It’s time to do the math and crunch some not-so-fun numbers. Before you can start anything, you have to figure out who’s paying for what and determine your wedding’s bottom line. From there, you’ll want to break down said budget— what’s a priority? What’s not?—and start allocating funds accordingly. (A little market research here comes in handy.) And since these numbers will change as you plan, it’s smart to start a detailed spreadsheet from the get-go. This will help you keep track of your spending and make it easy to adjust numbers along the way. Make a guest list If only you could invite any and everyone, right?! Chances are, you can’t, which is why you have to put a cap on dishing out invites. When deciding your head count, consider your budget (how much can you afford?) and your venue (how many people does it fit?). Also, who’s paying for what? From there, figure out how you’re going to divvy up the list. If you and your partner are footing the bill, assume you’ll get 70 percent of the invites, while both sets of parents will split the other 30. But if mom and dad are contributing, it’s protocol to give all involved parties—your parents, your partner’s parents, you as a couple—one third each. Next comes cutting, negotiating, and cutting some more until you reach a final number.
