Today I was lucky enough to meet Jessica Meadowcroft of Love, Jessica Handmade Invitations.  It was definitely a treat to see her designs and hear what she has to offer brides.  And on top of that, she gave me the lovely creations below to share with all of you and the brides that I work with!!  Just love that.

Planned Perfection looks forward to their first event with Love, Jessica this May.  Stay tuned.

After numerous emails and and occasional run ins, last night I had the pleasure to finally sit down and chat with Jasmine Clouser of The Couture Cakery.  She does the most beautiful cupcakes and cakes, and even creates dessert tables, which is my favorite.  If you have not heard of her yet, you most definitely need to head over to her website and check out all the wonderful items she offers.

I am looking forward to working with her this year!

Of course I got some treats to take home, and two are already missing

For the second year in a row, Planned Perfection is pleased to announce we have one WeddingWire’s Brice’s Choice Awards for 2010.

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced Planned Perfection has been selected to receive the WeddingWire 2010 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

The annual Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and celebrates excellence in quality and service within the wedding industry, as determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 500,000 newlyweds.

Planned Perfection is among the top five percent of all vendors in the WeddingWire community, which includes over 100,000 wedding professionals across the US and Canada. Awards were given to winners across 19 different service categories, from wedding venues to wedding photographers.

Planned Perfection has a lot to look back and be thankful for in 2009.  We ended the year with 24 weddings and boy was it a good time! I have yet to blog some of the events we did, to name a few Lauren and Brett,  Lindsay and Chip, Debbie and Jonathan and Megan and Dru!  Look for them in the next month or so.

I want to take the time to sincerely thank all of my 2009 clients, you make what I do so special.  Being a part of your wedding is an absolute honor and something that I do not take lightly.

To find something in life that you are so passionate about, is truly a blessing.  I can not imagine doing anything else.  The people whom I get to meet, the families, the wedding professionals, it is all so amazing and unbelievable at times.

This year I learned a lot, especially in the planning and orchestrating of Best of Weddings.  It was the first time I took on such a task and am happy that I did.  It was no small undertaking coordinating 40 plus vendors, essentially planning 12 weddings in one day, plus a fashion show, and much more.

I am excited for what 2010 and beyond brings.  I couldn’t have accomplished what I did this year without the girls that worked with me throughout the year.  A big hug and thank you to Marah, Kelly and Diana.  These girls are wonderful and I’m happy that they are on my team!  In February look for the new About Us section where you can learn a bit more about each girl.

Also a huge thank you to all of the loyal and passionate wedding professionals I work with on a daily basis.  I learn so much from all of you and am truly thankful for your friendship and expertise in this field.  Again I could not do what I do and be succesful if itwere not for you.

Until next time…

I thoroughly enjoy reading Think Splendid, a Communications Blog.  I have been a follower ever since it was just a wedding related blog and now she covers all the wonderful topics of social media.

I really liked today’s post and thought I would share it with you all.
