Client Review | North Carolina Wedding Planner

 

{AWYWI Events}

 

“She was helpful every step of the way. I had an idea of what I wanted and how I wanted my wedding to go, BUT since I had never been married before there were a lot of little details I didn't think about. Alina filled in the gaps and took on the work of making my vision come to life. From the invitations, to organizing the rehearsal to assisting on the big day, Alina was wonderful and I would recommend her hands down!"

Real Party: Ugly Sweater Christmas Party {C3 Greensboro} | North Carolina Party Planner

In July of this year, my hubby and I were led to an amazing new church in Greensboro and since then we have truly found a home at Christian City Church (a.k.a C3 Greensboro). Last month I was asked by a fabulous group (pictured below) to help put together a fabulous Christmas party to honor our leadership team.

Much love to Damon, Marion, & Becki (and Michelle) for asking me to join your team!!

I had so much fun working with this truly amazing group to put together one of my very favorite parties. From frozen ornaments decorating the walkway to our super fun photo booth with photos by Shelli Craig Photography, everything came together and everyone had so much fun! The adults were able to enjoy a delicious dinner courtesy of Golden Corral, a raffle full of amazing donations courtesy of Shelli Craig Photography, C3 Fitness, Alexa Michelle Photography, Glam Girl, and many more, and again, our awesome photo booth with props courtesy of AWYWI Events.

Our frozen ornaments turned out so well, even if they completely changed the color of my hands.

Apparently this was a popular "sweater" at the party

C3 Ladies having fun

The C3 kids were treated to a Polar Express themed extravaganza. They followed the frozen train tracks through the railroad crossing, where they received their golden ticket, and right on into the North Pole, complete with an actual north pole and white Christmas trees. They enjoyed a fun pizza dinner, created snowglobes, and played games. At the end of the night they each received their very own jingle bell to take home.

Everyone went home full of Christmas cheer and laughter and I think it's safe to say we threw a pretty awesome party. I am so thankful to have been asked to be a part of this amazing team and to have found my place at C3.

 

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you all enjoy a fun-filled holiday season!

Wedding Vocabulary | North Carolina Wedding Planner

For some brides, the hardest part of planning their wedding is figuring out what their vendors are talking about. They have to learn the wedding lingo just to communicate. Today I thought I would break down some of the common wedding terms (and shorthand) for you.

{Photo by Ryan Smith Photography}

Attendants: Members of the wedding party. Includes: best man, maid of honor, bridesmaids, groomsmen, ushers, flower girls, ring bearers

B2B: Bride to be

BM: Best man (or bridesmaid)

Bouquet: Carried by the bride and bridesmaids. Flowers are gathered together at the stems and usually tied together with ribbon.

{Style Me Pretty}

Boutonniere: Single flower or small flower arrangement worn by the groom, groomsmen, best man, and other special men involved in the wedding on their jackets.

Corsage: A small bouquet of flowers worn around the wrist or on the shoulder. Special women like mothers or grandmothers usually wear these.

DH: Dear husband

FMIL: Future mother-in-law

FOB: Father of the bride

{Etsy}

FOG: Father of the groom

Fondant: Bakers out there, excuse the layman's terms I'm about to use. Fondant is a sugary playdough-like substance that is rolled flat and smooth and used to cover (and decorate) wedding cakes.

Garter: Elastic band covered by satin or lace worn by the bride and usually removed by the groom during the reception.

{Nubia Photography}

GM: Groomsman

MOB: Mother of the bride

MOG: Mother of the groom

Processional: The ceremony entrance. Includes parents, grandparents, attendants, bride, and groom.

Recessional: The ceremony exit, led by the bride and groom. Includes parents, grandparents, attendants, bride, and groom.

{Simply Peachy}

Train: Material from the bride's dress that covers the floor behind her.

Usher: Male attendants that seat the guests before the ceremony.

Vendor: Anyone you've hired to perform a service during your wedding. (i.e. wedding coordinator, officiant, florist, dj, etc)

Venue: The location of your wedding.

Wedding Party: Bride, groom, parents, and attendants.
