Casting Call for Brides
Ever wonder how brides get their weddings featured on TV? Well, they answer casting calls. Some companies post on wedding message boards, or they have a friend who has a friend that works for the production company.
I came across this one and thought it might be fun for brides getting married in the tri-state area:
For its summer lifestyle show, My Fair Wedding, WE tv is giving brides planning summer nuptials a chance to enhance their event by working with celebrity wedding planner David Tutera. David will add extra elegance to weddings already in the planning stages. If you are getting married July or August 2008, or know someone who is, and the event will be within an hour from
And since this post doesn't help brides across the country, here's a random wedding planning tip: Don’t sweat the small stuff.
A disaster at a wedding would be someone dying (which I’ve heard of) or carbon monoxide filling the hall and many of your guests are sent via ambulance to a hospital (which happened in NY last month). Running out of your signature cocktail or the officiant mispronouncing someone’s name is not a disaster.
At Torey’s wedding, the Rabbi mentioned her grandparents: Jerry and Ruth, Phil and Leonard. My grandmother’s name is Leonora, and no, he could not have mistaken her for a man. Just thinking of that memory makes me laugh. And we sometimes call Grammy "Leonard" for fun.
The point is enjoy your big day, and try not to let the mishaps and small accidents effect you. In fact, you may want to designate someone in your bridal party to be the point person for your vendors if there is a minor problem. Ask your maid-of-honor or best man if they would take on this important role. Your father may also be a good point person, or another idea is to hire a day-of-coordinator. Just make sure it's someone whose judgment you trust.
