Did you know that the vendor meals you order from your
caterer or reception venue are usually a cheap, soggy
turkey sandwich? That’s right. All of the hardworking
vendors you love that have been with you the entire day are
being served a stale sandwich. Often they don’t even
have a chair to sit their tired butts down on!
I just thought you should know.

(Hint: Order them a hot meal!)

The Spring/Summer 2009 CS Brides Magazine is at the
newsstands and free newsboxes throughout the city. Pick up
your copy today! Flip to page 267 and check out our
beautiful advertisement–right across from the handy Wedding Planner
Quick Guide.
We’re so excited to be a part of this sophisticated
and exclusive publication. Not to shortchage the value of
our full planning services, but CS Brides is the ultimate
Chicago wedding planning resource. It is full of top-notch
wedding professionals and beautiful editorial pieces. I am
delighted that Chicago has such a wonderful magazine with
inspiration straight from our beloved city. I mean, you can
only look at so many pictorials of weddings in Nantucket and
Napa in the national publications!
Our ad looks incredible. Thank you so much Lynda! Lynda
Junge, the stylish genius behind Greenstar Creative, designed the ad for
us. She’s a rockstar. Check out her website full of
gorgeous handmade stationery and custom invitations! You may
remember her from a certain amazing piece of press she
received in the Fall…the Daily Candy Wedding Edition! We
can’t say enough about Greenstar Creative. Please,
please give Lynda a call before you settle on a boring
invitation from the book at your tuxedo shop.

I just found this fun “game” on the Tiffany
& Co. website today. I thought I’d share it, since
it’s the holiday season and you may be daydreaming
about gifts–sparkly gifts.
Build Your Own Celebration Ring!
I also wanted to let you know about a fun new trend has
started in engagement rings…and it’s easier on
the wallet than you might expect. Instead of choosing a
traditional engagement ring with one large stone, try an
eternity band! For your wedding ring, select another
complimentary or matching eternity band for a beautiful
set. Then, when you celebrate life’s big events
(first home, new baby, milestone birthday), you have an
automatic gift that he can’t mess up! Only kidding,
guys!
