"Le Cinch" Montezin for the 2009 Bridal Curve

The Event Lady loves to share news on our bridal industry's fashion world, and since September has all Mondays lined up in our blog's editorial calendar as : "Wedding and Quince Fashion Mondays"; today seemed like the perfect time to tell you about this 2009 Bridal Collection by Gilles Montezin.   This creative artist began his design career at Paris’s legendary L’Ecole de la Haute Couture; he later moved on to design costume gowns for The Opera Bastille under the direction of some of Paris’s most famous designers, Loris Azzaro and Christian Lacroix. Montezin launched his couture line in 2004, and now in 2009 made his debut with his elegant Bridal Collection. This talented designer's main goal is to make each bride's dreams come true, giving them the gown they envision, and the look they have dreamed of always for their long awaited, wedding day. He uses superb fabrics that flow with ease, and a Trademark Corset inside every gown; "Le Cinch",

Oops.. Where to Buy that Wedding Insurance

Oops, almost forgot to offer a couple of resources for my Florida brides, on where to buy the wedding insurance mentioned in the previous post. There are plenty of companies covering this bridal planning safety trend , but  I found two that specialize in this industry ... and my readers, let me tell you, I love that word, "Specialize" so here are their links: http://www.wedsafe.com/ and  http://protectmywedding.com/ Now mind you ... I have not used them , so if any of you have, please share your experiences with me on this blog. Remember, do not allow anyone to ruin your bridal experience; protect yourselves.

Wedding insurance becoming popular | WINK News - Southwest Florida | Local & Florida

The Event Lady thinks this wedding insurance report by Wink News of SW Florida was a very informative piece indeed for our future brides and grooms, even quinceañeras will benefit from this information. Most professional special event providers will not leave a bride or quince girl hanging. They call their customers, arrange to deliver the goods ordered, and give them an alternate contact phone or address. Reputable business owners will offer a refund if enough time is available, and if this unfortunate decision is taken last minute, a well connected vendor can call upon their wedding network or bridal associations in the area to help out in the messy situation. This is a scenario most bridal couples do not want to experience. Yet, in today's tough economy, it is sadly happening to wedding and quince businesses all over Florida as well as many other cities. It can happen to large corporate chain stores, as well as a mom and pop owned brick and mortar stores and even Internet provid

Two Florida Ladies Set-Up Invite Shop on Web

As The Event Lady I am proud to tell you about two Hispanic ladies out of our very own State of Florida; who have set-up shop with an Internet invitation company, making their mark the web at: http://www.JaydaOnline.com.  The company's founders and creative directors are Johanna Reyes, and Yadira Chevere out of the City of Cape Coral. These two, business savvy ladies have developed a portal which offers a beautiful, eco-friendly line of stationery for weddings, quince celebrations, save-the-date post cards, and other special event "papeleria." Jayda is a user friendly site, which even offers advice on etiquette, and some sample wording to help with the tedious task of wedding and quinceañera invite ordering do's and don'ts. Another feature I found helpful was, that they actually listed their local number and mailing address... nice to know who you are dealing with right? Some Web stores can seem so impersonal... I just hate it when I cannot see where a comp

Wedding Conference Time in SW Florida

As wedding and quince professionals, we are always looking for ways to improve our skills, perfect our trade, network with reputable vendors in our bridal and quince industry, and now in this new age of Web technology, learn the time consuming art of social media. For my brides and quinceañera readers, "your vendor's participation in local wedding chapters, conventions, and seminars should prove a genuine interest in being an above average professional." Wedding conferences can do all this for a seriously committed special event Florida business. These conferences are not just for cake vendors, florists, gown shop and formalwear rental places; they also are beneficial to nightclub owners with an interest in expanding their club's facilities for weddings, bridal showers, anniversaries, or any social party, and very handy in connecting area restaurant owners, who can offer a private party room and off-site catering capabilities to wedding planners in their town.
