COLOR! Love-it!

Most of you may already know that I love color! Lately I have been into neutrals, but these fabulous blogs bring me out of my state of boredom and into a color overload. My all-time favorite color is Turqouise (and most other shades of blue). You may be redecorating, re-arranging, planning an event or wedding or just simply looking for something in a certain color. Whatever reason you may have – you simply must check out these colorific blogs! Already added to my Love-it folder!

Did I mention we do gift bags?

Fall is our busiest time of year for weddings. This year has been no different and many of our fabulous weddings have been customized by Always Planned. The wedding of Mary and Billy had many adorable personalized items and their gift bags carried the theme. Here are some pics and details.

Included in gift bags:

Homemade cookies, two KY bourbon balls, 2 Ale-8′s, 1 Bottle of KY Wine and opener, 2 bags of chips, Directions to venue, Lexington, KY Visiter’s Guide, Tops In Lex Magazine, an area restaurant guide and a personalized notecard from Mary and Billy. All in green bags with pink/green tissue paper and pink with green dot ribbon.

If you are interested in custom gift bags for your guests, bridal party or out of town guests be sure to give us a call. Always Planned will gather all items, assemble your bags and deliver them to the designated hotels or venue.

Custom gift bags… another one of the many things we have in our Love-it folder!

It’s about time!

Sorry for such a long delay in postings. We have been very busy with some truly southern weddings. Kentucky weather has been perfect lately and October 10th was no exception.

When I met Mary and Billy in Feburary, I knew we were going to have a great time doing their wedding. Imagine an outdoor fall wedding with pink and green everywhere! I know, it’s not your traditional fall wedding colors but this is not your traditional wedding. Mary and Billy are still in Ireland, on their amazing honeymoon, and I can’t wait to chat with them when they get back.

Here are some details. More Pictures coming soon.

Mary and Billy

This weekend we had the privilege to work with Mary and Billy. I met Mary, Billy and Mary’s Mother Kathy at the Feburary Bridal Show and have been involved in planning their special day ever since. It is hard to believe that it is already October and I will no longer be working with Mary and Kathy. I have loved every minute that I have gotten to share with Mary and her wonderful family. They are such a joy and it is no wonder why Mary is such an amazing person.

Mary and Billy are so in love, and there were several times throughout the rehearsal dinner and wedding that we all had tears in our eyes. We will have their love story listed here when we get the professional photos, in the meantime here are some fantastic pics of some decor that my brother, Nick, snapped for us. Enjoy!

Go Green! Love-it…

Amazon has a fantastic new service called Amazon Green. A great new service offering products for those with the world in mind. Everything from Reusable Tote bags to Fluorescent Bulbs, a Scotts Push Mower and even toilet paper! Andrew and I are thinking about a new programmable thermostat, to help with the huge heating bill this winter. There is even a blog to go with the new site.

You may not know that I am already a huge fan of recycling, but I am also on the “green” bandwagon and a HUGE fan of Amazon.com. Filing this to my “Love-it” folder.
