The girls at Always Planned completed their last official wedding of the season this past Saturday. It was a busy and eventful season, but can be chopped up as the best season ever for Always Planned.  We wanted to take a minute and thank all of  our 2010 brides, grooms and families for allowing us the honor of being a part of their special day.

While looking back at the pictures of Kara and Jeremy of their wedding day I am reminded why I love what I do.  The special moments caught by the camera still bring tears to my eyes.

I met Kara exactly one year before her wedding day when Nicole (of Nicole and Byers 10/17/08) grabbed me by the hand and introduced me to Kara, who had just gotten engaged!  Working with Kara and Jeremy was such a delight! I loved meeting their wonderful families and all of the special details they added to their wedding.

It takes amazing vendors to pull off such an amazing wedding.  It was a pleasure to work with each one of these quality vendors!

Always Planned hosted the June 2009 KY ABC Meeting and we had a fabulous turnout!

Lantern Centerpieces

Our meeting was held at Spindletop Hall from 11am-3pm.  This was my first event to be held at Spindletop and all I can say is WOW!  Of course it is stunningly georgous, but their service is equally impressive.  I highly suggest you look into Spindletop Hall for your next corporate event, gala, or wedding.  And as usual Always Planned can be there to make sure your event is even more fabulous!

OK on to the details.  Our Speaker was Saundra Hadley, with Planning… Forever Events.  She is such an amazing lady bursting with personality and knowledge.  The topic of the meeting was How to Close The Deal – Sales Methods for the Wedding Industry.  We had approx. 40 people in attendance and everyone from planners, florists, caterers, hotels, venues and even bakeries.  Saundra did a fantastic job reaching points with everyone and showing how everything she touched on affects our business.  Everyone in the industry simply MUST hear what she has to say.  ;)

We also had some wonderful event sponsors!  A special THANK YOU goes out to each of you.

Also be sure to check out our photo gallery from the event.  All photos by The Time Photography.

Anne and Chris!!

vendors, weddings // 2 Comments

I always love the very first wedding of the season!  Something about having the first wedding of the year under my belt gets me geared up and ready for the year.  ;)

Anne and Chris came to me a while ago.  I have loved getting to know them and seeing how special their relationship is.  Although Chris had little to do when it came to the design and details, it was obvious he just wanted to make Anne happy.  I just adore when a groom gets it.  ;)

Anne is such a beautiful bride and it helped that all of her bridesmaids were just as beautiful.  The pictures are gorgous, the venue was great and the weather was absolutely perfect!
