Rowe and Chris's Wedding at The Douglaston Manor- Sunday, June 9th, 2013

At the end of January of this year, I received an inquiry via our contact form. It was from a bride getting married at The Douglaston Manor in June. She had found us through our link on Douglaston's website. I replied back promptly with two quotes. I followed up  a couple of times, but to no avail, it fell off the map so to speak.  I figured, it was after all the beginning of February by then and even if she contacted me in a few weeks, it would be alright.

During the month of March, I received an email from a groom regarding his wedding. Before I replied back, a sense of deja vu kicked in and I went back into my file of previous quotes to delve a little more. As it turns out, this was the same couple, who had inquired back in the end of January.
Honestly, I'm so sure that I may have even seen Chris and Rowe during one of the Bridal Showcases Douglaston holds at the venue during the year. It was deja vu two times over for me and it was well worth it.

We all finally met at Douglaston a short time after that.  That was about the end of March.  It was the first of our many meetings at Douglaston.

Fast forward to Sunday, June 9th. After a week or so of weather which was anything but rainy, we were blessed with great weather.  Seeing both sides of the wedding party emerge from the limo (albeit at different times) brought a lump to my throat. There is nothing like seeing two people in love getting ready to say I Do. 

The love between Rowe and Chris was evident from the first day I met them. And even more so when during their first dance together, he scooped her up in his arms. Seriously, it doesn't get anymore romantic than that!

I wish them nothing but all the happiness in the world! It was a pleasure working with Rowe and Chris on their special day! On behalf of all of us at The Blissful Bride, thank you for letting us be apart of it!

A special shout out to my team for their help on the day of.

It's Wedding Season 2013!

Just shy of a week, The Blissful Bride Weddings and Events will kick off it's 2013 Wedding Season with Rowe and Chris' wedding at The Douglaston Manor and we couldn't be more excited to be working with our affiliated venue. 

This wedding season features what looks to be our largest weddings and most intricate weddings to date, one of which we are co-planning with Paisley Events and has a guest count of 500! Along with working on that, we've been helping Katherine and Tom plan their January 2014 wedding. This season will take us out of our comfort zone of weddings and into wedding related events, as we will be doing 2 Bridal Showers as well. 

We would like welcome to the BBW&E family, our new assistant, Szarina, who will be working with us throughout the season. Stay tuned to our website as we will be including her in our About Me section!!

In addition to our weddings, we will be taking part in Bride's 5K Run (www.bridesrun.com) which is taking place on Sunday, June 16th in Marine Park, Brooklyn. We will be on site to cheer Brides, Grooms and their wedding party's on along with featuring our packages and promotions for future couples. 

 

 

It is going to be an amazing wedding season for us and we look forward to sharing it with you throughout this year!! 

 

 

Stay Blissful!!
