Lulu Pink: Lulu Pink Parties' First Blog

Hurray for finally sitting down to get the blog up and going. I've known that it needed to be in place for the debut of Lulu Pink Parties in January 2011, and I also knew I wanted to get it going to allow people to participate in the journey of starting the new business but sitting down and making it happen was a totally different ballgame. Distractions, distractions, distractions! I put a ton of thought into everything I do, and this business plan has been no different. So you're probably wondering when the epiphany occurred to start an event planning company, and I couldn't tell you I would be doing what I'm doing without the planning of my own wedding. So why not wedding planning? Well, that's easy- because I commend those who deal with crying brides each weekend, but don't envy their profession.

Sit back, and take a journey or maybe a refresher if you've seen these pictures before, of my June 2010 wedding.

There was decor....

There were personalized bouquets....

There were details, oh so many details.....

And there was pink, lots of lots of PINK!

But most of all, there was LOVE!

Here's what you didn't see:

For 6 months, I planned endlessly on being married in FRONT of the plantation. But after 2 days of relentless rain, I was forced to change the ceremony location the day of the wedding. Who wants their guests sinking in mud, or having to drag a white dress through it? This would've been a great time to have had enlisted in a wedding planner, and have them deal with it, but since I was my wedding planner I had the fun task of making it happen. Clipboard in hand, and with a team of FABULOUS vendors, it worked out. I was married alongside the pool, on the rear elevation of the home, and became the 1st ever bride to do so. Would I change a thing? Absolutely not.
