The Revamp of The Blissful Bride and The Great Bridal Expo 10.19.10

The Blissful Bride has updated her website to be well..more blissful and we reworked our current packages as well to include a partial package (which is now called "Blissfully Yours"), seemingly super sized our Full Service (now called "Everlasting Bliss") and added an interesting twist called "Be Our Guest" which is a package in itself catered to the out of town guests who come to visit. It is included in our larger package and can be requested if you have our Wedded Bliss or Blissfully Yours packages. It can also be as its own separate option and would go great with our Invitation Stuffing and RSVP maintenance option.



A Mini Version of Our "Sweets Bar" Premium Candy



The newest thing we did include was adding a candy buffet, called a Sweets Bar. It doesn't have to be included in any of the wedding packages and can be requested for a party or for a special event. Pics from the weddings we've done will be up on the site as of next week.

There was no better time for the website update as yesterday was our debut as a full service wedding planning company at the Great Bridal Expo in Times Square at the Marriott Marquis. Despite the fact we were provided with a table cover and skirt, we used a brown satin stripe sheet for the skirt and overlayed a pink voile fabric on top. Although it seemed as if we were off to a slow start, it gradually picked up and the brides did arrive, bags in tow filled with information, goodies, and more. Some held sample yogurts, some held cups of water, but most held cupcakes, cakes and other sweet treats. By the time they reached our sample "Sweet Bar Display", they were very full, but never the less helped themselves. It was a great night for us networking with brides-to-be and vendors who came around to introduce themselves.  All in all, it was a successful night. A special thanks to Olga from Colors of Fashion (www.colorsoffashion.com) and Kaci from Brian Cesario Photography (www.briancesariophotography.com)  for all their help last night.

Its almost Showtime! Our Chocolate and Pink Table Look.

Fab Fall

Fall is steadily making its way towards us and it will be here soon enough and I welcome it. After the very hot and humid summer, it is such a relief. But this season will not be a quiet one for The Blissful Bride, it will be quite busy and it kicks off this weekend, with my daughter's 2nd birthday party. Thankfully, it looks to be a beautiful sunny day, but after the horrible predictions from meteorologists, I have been checking everyday religiously and so far so good.
Once the party is over, my guests go home and my daughter hits the hay, I head on the computer to continue my work on Samantha's upcoming wedding which is in 2 1/2 weeks. I am very excited about this wedding, because its in my favorite month, October and the location (which serves as a ceremony & reception) is beautiful. The room has a view of a bridge and pagoda, which will be lit up in lights once night fall comes and guest will be treated to a view of the night sky. I look forward to sharing these pictures with you after the wedding.
Two weeks after the wedding, I will be at the Great Bridal Expo, meeting with many, many brides. It will be The Blissful Bride's "debut" into the wedding world. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. One week later, I turn the big 3-0 and I still have no clue of what I want to do to celebrate. I started my 20s as a  newly single working girl, and leave it as a wife/mother and business owner.
I have met some fabulous new people in the recent months and I look forward to sharing my 30s and beyond with them. To my sister who becomes legal enough to vote in a few weeks and started college today, seize the moment and make it yours. Don't let anyone stop you from living your dreams.

I hope to share some of the pics from my first wedding as The Blissful Bride very, very soon.

Stay Blissful
