Looking Back...

I recently had the opportunity to go back through tons of photos from previous weddings.  The memories were wonderful, bringing smiles and a few tears.  So, I thought I would share.

 Megan and Brandon came to Your Special Day two years after we coordinated Megan's brother's wedding. Words can not express how honored we feel to work with families over and over again.

I love fall weddings especially when you work with the natural colors of the season.   FreshAffairs did an amazing job with the flowers for this event.

 

Ms. Mia was the most precious flower girl ever!  This little angel walked the aisle like it was her wedding. 

Can you tell where our couple when to school?  Megan was a cheerleader at NCSU...go PACK!!  Brandon graduated from UNC.  I wonder what game day is like at their house?

Thanks for Walters and Walters for the beautiful photographs taken at Prestonwood Country Club!

Announcing Exciting News!!

Your Special Day just learned that we have been chosen to receive the Bride's Choice Awards 2010 from the WeddingWire.  This award recognizes the top 5 percent of local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network who demonstrate excellence in quality, service and professionalism.

The Bride's Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through extensive surveys, which means our past clients have spoken on our behalf and selected us to receive this honor. 

This is the second award Your Special Day has received in recent months.  It is completely overwhelming to us that our clients, both brides and vendors, take the time to nominate us. 

Our sincere thanks to all who allow us to do what we love!! 

The Wedding Show....January 2010

The Wedding Show, produced by Forever Bridal Productions, was two days of wedding planner heaven! We love meeting new couples and sharing in the excitement of their engagement and wedding plans.

When designing our booth this year, we wanted to do something different, something that made people stop and notice.

The design concept "Relax and Enjoy the Ride" came to me several months ago after talking with a friend that is a Harley Davidson lover.  You can enjoy the entire process of planning your wedding and stay focused on the "destination"...your marriage.  Even though I personally do not own a Harley, I understand the experience of the ride is part of the joy of owning a Harley. 

Honestly, I was not sure if the idea would go over well but one day while talking with a vendor I learned that one of our October 2010 brides (love you Allyson) had said that she was hesitating on purchasing "the dress" because she thought finding it so quickly was too easy. That is when I knew the "concept" would work!  When you work with Your Special Day, we want your decisions to be easy and want you to enjoy the experience of planning your wedding!

So today we have booked new weddings and scheduled consultations with new prospects.  What a wonderful start to 2010!

Here are a few photos from our booth thanks to the fabulous Christobal Perez with Azul Photography.


Thank you to Chris for the use of his bike and my boys for the load-in assistance. 

A huge thanks to all that made the show a success for Your Special Day, Swank Photo Studio, CE Rentals, Classic Party Rentals, Invitation-Creations, Sasser Studios, Expressions of Love Florist and Jeff Simpson for our lighting.

We also need to thank our "honorary" consultant....Sandra.  Sandra worked the booth with us on Saturday.  You can not buy that kind of advertisement!  Sandra is one of our favorite brides from 2009...more importantly, she is a friend!
