Bridezilla is an Understatement

One of my friends forwarded me this article and first it made me laugh. Later I wasn’t sure if this girl was for real. Yes, it is her wedding and she is obviously overly organized, but come on girl! Act like a lady!  Here is her letter. Enjoy and let me know what you think:

To m lovely Bridesmaid: [Names removed to protect the brideslaves]

As you all know I picked 10 wonderful ladies to stand by my side, share and make happen my special day to Jake. Each of you individually have a reason and a special place in my heart of why I picked you to be a bridesmaid. We have set our date for Saturday, August 31, 2013 in Vail, Colorado. That seems far away but it really isn’t, the earlier the planning the better. You may have already knew that my wonderful sister L— will be the Maid of Honor, she’s in charge under me. Also my lovely mom will be a big help as well. L— has a big role in throwing me a bridal shower and bachelorette party, of course all of you guys do but at the end of the day shes the go to person and makes it happen.

You all have a big roll in this wedding, so before we continue I’m going to be setting some ground rules and its very important you read and think about everything through before you accept this honor to be a bridesmaid. If you guys email anything I would also like you to put L— in the CC. Not all the bridesmaid need to be CC’d unless its coming from me or L—, if it something everyone needs to see then well do it. We set the date to August 31, 2013 if that’s a problem we need to know NOW. Also by the end of the week we will be setting dates for the engagement party, bridal show and bachelorette party.

Our wedding party is really the most important people at the wedding besides my self and Jake so we want every single one of our bridesmaid and grooms at our parties, I have 10 not 8 where two couldn’t make it so if you already know you cant make one of the parties then we have to find someone else, not to be harsh in the slightest it would sadden me and of course you’ll still be invited to our wedding, engagement ect. But it’s different if your not in the wedding party and couldn’t make it. We’ll give everyone well advance dates for the parties and it will always fall on a weekend. The wedding as I stated will be in Vail the engagement party will either be in NY or CT and the bachelorette party will be in Vegas, cliche yeaa but I’ve never been.

A few girls live out of town so if there is going to be a problem with coming to either one then I need to know now because after this week I don’t want to be surprised. I would like everyone to send me any dates they are going away or planning to go away after February so if your going away in January I don’t care. I want any dates from February to the day of our wedding in August, that way we know not to plan something when your away. But after this week the dates are set in stone. Also if money is tight and you cant afford to contribute to say the bachelorette party or wont be able to afford a dress etc then L— and Myself don’t have time to deal with that, I’m sorry. This includes flights as well, everyone knows the states where the parties are going to be held so if you wont be able to afford a flight then that means you cant make a party which ultimately means I cant have you as a bridesmaid. Obviously we’ll get the best deals and were not gonna books flights for $1000 and shit that’s why were doing this in advance, that goes for bridesmaids dresses as well everything will be affordable but if you think by affordable its going to be a $25 forever 21 dress then your going to the wrong wedding.

If your out of state though don’t think you have to fly in for all fittings, that we will work with you, find stores in your town, get measurements..you don’t have to worry about that. Also if you accept this honor another thing is that you need to be available, I’m not going to harass you with wedding stuff every hour of everyday but if its something important and it takes you a week even 2-3 days to get back to me seeeee ya! I don’t have time to wait around for responses, everyone has their phone on them, it shouldn’t take you more than a day to get back to me, even if your out of the country, check your email!

Furthermore, Ever since I could remember I have dreamed about this day all my life. I want to share it with the people that are most important to me. You only get one time to plan your dream wedding and I couldn’t pick a more amazing group of girls to make that dream come true! So please, what’s stated above think about it all and by Wednesday I need to know if everyone is 100% in, and what I have asked about sending me dates if your gonna be away between Feb-Aug ill need that on Wednesday. If you don’t think you’ll be able to attend one party but can make the rest of them I’m sorry but I’ll have to take you out as a bridesmaid and put you as a guest. If you want to get back to me before Wednesday, that’s fine. Really think about everything I’ve said. This is really going to be the most epic wedding ever so I hope you girls can share this special day with us!

Remember wedding is one of the most special days of your life, but it is not worth loosing your friends over.

Wishing you a fabulous day today,

Kristina

Happy Holidays From our Destin Beach Wedding Office

destin beach wedding coordinators

This year has been a game changer for us. Rebranding was more than successful and took our little beach wedding company to a bigger level. With a new website, updated packages, and more videos and guides, Princess Wedding Co became what I always envisioned it to be: elegant, classic and, most importantly, authentic. This change could not have been possible if not for our amazing brides. That is the honest truth. We are so blessed to work with such incredible couples! You inspire us every day with your creativity, taste and vision.

I am also blessed to have an amazing team! Mayya, Edina, Anneli and Janet, you are all amazing and I can’t imagine doing what I do without you. I can’t even find words to tell you how big of a blessing you are in my life.   I am extremely thankful for your friendship,  talent and all of your hard work you have graciously given to me and this company.

Our company is what it  is because of you. So thank you for that. I am not sure what I have done to deserve all of you and I am honored to be heading into 2013 with you all!

(Popping pink Rose Champagne) So cheers for creating together even bigger and prettier things in the next year! Lets soar to new heights together in 2013!

Cheers,

Kristina

Real Celebrity Weddings: Matthew McConaughey

God knows I am addicted to celebrity gossip and mindless TV :)  So maybe its time to  include a bit of that on our blog. We even have Celebrity Weddings category now :)

If it’s one couple in Hollywood I LOVE, it is Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves.  They are so perfectly gorgeous together!

Their ceremony took place at their home in Texas.  They even provided their guests with lodging by having their guests “camp out” in tents for the whole weekend.  How fun and unique is that idea?! or not? Not sure how I feel about camping :)

Matthew, looking handsome as ever, wore a Dolce and Gabana tuxedo while his beautiful Brazilian bride wore a handmade traditional Brazilian dress.

Their menu was cooked by the famous Guy Fieri who cooked up some traditional southern food such as crawfish and fried okra.

To make things personal, their two kids were part of the ceremony acting as the ring bearer and flower girl (how sweet, right?!).

I just can’t get over how beautiful this couple is, and I am totally jealous of Camila’s dress!!!!

Best Wedding Ceremony Location in Destin and Panama City Beach

Most of our brides live out of town, so choosing perfect spot for beach ceremony in Destin or Panama City Beach can be a difficult task. In this post I will try to give some professional insight and share few tips I learned in the past. So here we go:

1. Decide if you want your ceremony to be on the beach (on the sand), at the place overlooking the ocean, or green lawn.

If you go with ceremony on the beach you will l have these choices:

  •  Beach State park Pros: at some parks you can actually reserve the spot, pavilions as rain back up available at most, plenty of parking. Cons: you have to drive to the location, sot charge a fee.
  • Public beach access. There are lots of beach access in our area, so before you choose one over do your research. Pros: most are free and do not require permits. Cons: it is public, so first come first serve basis. No guarantees that the best spot will be available.
  • In front of a beach house. Pros: convenient because no driving is necessary. Cons: higher price tag.
  • In front of a resort. Pros: convenient because no driving is necessary. Can have reception at the same place. Cons: usually very populated and most resorts have chairs and umbrellas on their beach.

My best helper in finding a perfect location for each wedding is Google Maps. Once you decide if you want to do your wedding in Destin or Panama City Beach, type it in Google Maps. Find the area you want to stay at (or maybe you already decided on the resort or beach house), zoom in to that area and drag little “Pegman” to the street view. Now you are able to take a virtual walk around the area and see what is there. For example I found many public beach access right next to the resorts where my brides where staying at. You can also see nearby restaurants and shops. Pegman is awesome!

One more thing to conceder when choosing your beach ceremony location is transportation and parking. Plan ahead if you know that your wedding site has limited parking. Ask your guests, and vendors to carpool, or arrange transpiration for them (shuttles or limo buses are great options).

If you have a wedding booked with us you will have one of our wedding coordinator help you with making this decisions and guide you along the way.

Mayya’s Beach Wedding Fashion Report: Groom Fashion

We have talked and blogged so much about girl’s fashion that we somehow forgot about guys. How could we? Well today its all about  you, gentlemen.

Before choosing attire for your Destin beach wedding define your style:  are you classic kind of guy or are you more hip? Here are few fashionable options to make you look and feel like a billion bucks:

Casual beach look: white linen shirt with khaki or grey pants

Men in suite: who doesn’t love man in suit?  For a beach wedding choose light fabric (seersucker suit is great option). Stick with different shades of grey (and not the fifty kind :) beige and white. You sure to woe your bride in one of these:

 Hip kind a guy: add bow tie, vest and suspenders.

Accessories:  Add luxury and personality to your look with accessories such as cufflinks, tie (in your wedding color), boutonniere, neatly folded handkerchief,  or suspenders (totally trendy). Oh and sunglasses (just not during the ceremony, please!).

For more inspiration head to Pinterest.

Keep it fun and stay classy,

Mayya.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are Married!

The couple finally tied the knot! They made it official at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia, Italy. Such a beautiful place to say “I do!”

And did you happen to see what Jessica wore down the aisle? STUNNING!  She was lucky enough to wear a pastel pink Giambattista Valli gown! And her veil was custom made by the designer including some heirloom pearls from her family!  I simply love her dress though.  The floral motif and cute and romantic ruffles are perfect for a wedding.

My favorite detail about their wedding?  Justin Timberlake wrote a song just for the event and sang it to Jessica after vows were exchanged!  AH!!!! To die for!  How romantic would it be for the love of your life to write a song just for you AND sing it to you?!  My heart melts…
