Create a Wedding Theme...From Start to Finish
I want to inspire you to have that simply unforgettable wedding day look...from start to finish. Do you have an avid interest? Do you adore the color blue? Do you crave the look of a different era? With a little imagination, that theme or look can be weaved throughout your wedding planning~ from the save the date to your attire, to your decorations, to the smallest of details.
Decide what your theme will be and begin to collect ideas. Go ahead, borrow them from magazines, wedding sites, other weddings... Use an inspiration board to add what you have collected, keep yourself organized and your theme cohesive.
Whatever the formality on whatever the budget, you can create drama and interest by developing a theme that flows throughout your wedding.
Feel free to visit our blog www.TrulyEngaging.com for great wedding resources and browse the inspiration boards at www.MagnetStreetWeddings.com to stir your imagination.
Cheers,
Heidi

Ceremony highlights from Video 21 Productions for amazing wedding!
Modern technology is simply the best! Not only does it allow you to keep in contact with friends and family from all over the world it also allows you to share information with our brides and future brides.
Yesterday I had the privilege of being coordinator for Reimi and Shawn's wedding at The Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort. The ceremony was performed by Reverend Frank Mak with photography by Garrett Nose, music by Flute Ala Harpe, video by Video 21 Productions (see ceremony highlights at)
http://www.video21productions.com/2008/07/reimi-shawn
and beautiful flowers by Su-V Expressions.
The color scheme was garnet red and ivory, with an elegant asian theme. The head table and cake table was completely draped with red garnet satin linen, adorned with ivory satin napkins, gold chargers, beautiful printed menu cards, napkin rings and cookies/cupcakes from Hokulani bakery and ivory chaircovers with the red garnet satin sash.
The head table was elevated and had pipe and drape directly behind with hanging champagne colored draping, shimmery decorative tiles and hanging red roses and red uplights which highlighted the bride and groom as they sat on stage.
The two family tables were oval shaped tables that had tall magnificent centerpieces with willow branches and hanging white orchids strung from them with custom made ivory satin linen, red garnet table runners, mirrors, gold chargers, and the same other accents as the head table.
Red uplighting accented the sides of the room and there were three different types of centerpieces that were featured on the guest tables along with the votive candles on each table.
When the bride entered the ballroom she teared up as she saw how amazingly beautiful the room, which in turn made me tear up as well (I still cry at weddings!)
These priceless moments are why I love event planning. When the bride gives you a hug and tells you everything is perfect, what could be better than that!?!
Pictures of the wedding decor will be posted soon!

Hawaii Bridal Expo Here We Come.....
Can you believe it's that time already? The Hawaii Bridal Expo opens tomorrow night and goes through Sunday at the Blaisdell. We have gone back to doing a booth this time around. In January we did a bunch of table tops and everyone thought I was a linen company so hopefully a regular booth will help you all know we are coordinators. I will be doing 2 table top displays, though.
We'll be in booth 515...right on a corner in the middle of the show floor.
This is a great opportunity for you all to check out tons of vendors and get a lot of useful information. It's also a great resource for us vendors as well. I will actually be walking the floor for a couple of hours gathering contacts and prices for a few of my clients who can not attend due to scheduling conflicts or they are living on the mainland. Not only can you one stop shop but so can I to help my clients.
And that's all included in our VIP Package or Soiree Package.....so stop by to talk to us and maybe the next expo we'll be walking around carrying the heavy paperwork on YOUR behalf!

Cheers to a Great Wedding Speech
Most of us know the difference between a great speech and a speech that is well, not so great. Think about what you liked about that last great wedding speech you witnessed. You probably laughed a little, maybe dropped a tear or two and generally felt upbeat and congratulatory.
If you've ever given a speech in front of a room full of people, you know that it can be nerve-wracking. The good news, is that it doesn't have to be. Even if your bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. are completely inexperienced behind a microphone, the following will help provide the basics for a successful wedding speech.
Every speech will be different. That is because each person has unique experiences and perspectives and relationships. Tailor your speech on what you know to be relevant. Here are a few takeaways that I learned giving a speech as a Maid of Honor:
1. Keep it to 3-4 minutes or so.
2. Incorporate a little humor. You want to keep your humor clean and centered around common knowledge of the bride and groom. No private jokes that no one will understand anyways.
3. Your speech should be well-wishing,lighthearted, kind.
4.Your speech should be well thought out and organized. It should have a beginning, middle, and certainly an end.
Much like writing a paper in school: organize your speech, write it down, time yourself and last but not least~ PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!! I rehearsed my speech so much, I did not need to look at a piece of paper. If you feel like you need a piece of paper to focus, go ahead but if you have practiced, your speech will be naturally flowing.
Hope this helps
Cheers!
I'd love to hear how your speech went, drop by www.TrulyEngaging.com the wedding blog of MagnetStreet Weddings and tell me about it or share tips that have helped you to make a great wedding speech.

I am HAPA which means I am an Asian with freckles
Some caterers are comfortable cooking one type of food, something from their comfort zone, me, well I am HAPA, which means I am of Asian ancestry mixed with a little Southern, so when you mix all that up you get a wide selection of dishes. The best way to get to know someone is to share a meal, but with Serenitea Catering, that meal may have Asian influence, or home style all American traditional dishes.
My dad had blue eyes and blond hair, my mom, Asian 100%, then you get me, the Amazon Asian, shorter than most Americans, huge compared to most Asians.
I have slanted brown eyes and more freckles than I can count with streaks of red in my hair. It keeps life interesting, and flavorful.
Someone once asked me, if you were food, what would you be?
My answer, a sesame cracker!

We got this information off www.costhelpers.com about wedding catering cost
Typical costs:
* An inexpensive catering choice might be a private room at a Chinese, barbecue or other casual restaurant, without alcohol, which can cost as little as $20 per person. Many restaurants charge a small room rental fee and do not charge for use of plates, glasses and flatware. This might include a simple meal served buffet or family-style.
* An hors d'oeuvres reception or buffet with no cocktail hour and a limited bar can cost $30 to $70 per person. This might include a hearty spread of hot hors d' oeuvres, and salads served either buffet-style or in stations, as well as a beer-and-wine-only bar.
* A cocktail hour and sit-down dinner at a fancy hotel, country club or resort with an in-house caterer can cost $125 to $350 or more per person, including service and gratuity. This might include passed hors d' oeuvres, a sit-down multi-course meal and an open bar.
* Whether you use an in-house or an outside caterer should not affect the final price much -- just the complexity of your bill, according to The National Association of Catering Executives. In-house caterers build in the price of flatware and stemware, which they will usually own, for example, while outside caterers rent it from a third party and itemize the cost on your bill.
* The average wedding caterer cost, including food and food service, drinks and drink service and cake and cake cutting fees is $12,790, according to The Bridal Association of America, which treats these as three separate categories. The average number of guests is 150, so it works out to about $85 per person.
* Catering costs tend to be as much as 30 percent higher in large cities and in the Northeast and on the West Coast.
What should be included:
* Most caterers will meet with the couple to discuss budget and menu options. Most caterers hold tastings for the couple, their wedding planner and, if they are paying, the bride's parents. Then the caterer will finalize the menu. On the day of the wedding, the caterer will cook the food, then arrive early with staff members to set up and finish preparing the food. Caterers handle the details of the meal, cut the cake, and clean and return rental items.
Additional costs:
* Some caterers add a 15 to 25 percent gratuity to their bill, and some leave tipping up to the customer's discretion. It is important to clarify before signing a contract whether tax and tip are included in the total.
* While in-house catering typicallyincludes service, outside caterers usually charge for labor --around $15 to $25 an hour each waiter and $45 an hour or more for a chef. Passed appetizers add to labor costs because they require more servers.
* There may also be cake-cutting fees of $1 or more per slice and corking fees of $1 or more per bottle for wine and champagne. Caterers charge in different ways, so it is important to make sure any and all possible fees and charges are discussed upfront.

Tacoma catering weddings, funerals, and special events
We do mostly weddings, but any celebration of life is what we like to focus on, in the event of someone passing, getting married, or celebrating a special anniversary or birthday, we are happy to be a part of this special day, no matter the circumstances.
Funeral catering: Tacoma, Olympia, Puyallup, University Place, Steilacoom
We have a division called Comfort Foods, 10% of the bill goes to a charity fund dedicated to helping the community known as The Flanders Foundation. This fund helps with expenses of food for a family that may not be able to afford a memorial service to getting a life insurance policy started for family left behind in a tragic event.
My father, Thomas Flanders, was a good man, serving his community through working with the elderly, to being a part of many organizations to include The Masons and Knights of Columbus, this charity is dedicated to his memory.

Stuff Happens: 5 Tips to Staying Prepared
Rarely does anything in life go exactly according to plan. There are so many variables and uncontrollable ones at that~ like people and the weather. Planning a life event such as a wedding is no exception. The old adage, prevention is worth a pound of cure, seems like sage advice to me.
So, how can you stay prepared?
Stay organized
Use your planner. Keep important contacts, phone numbers, websites, etc. with you. Systematically work through your to-do list and check items off as you do them. Inspiration boards and color palettes will help keep you focused and on track with the look and feel of your wedding. Assign tasks to trusted individuals to help keep you from being overwhelmed.
Do Your Homework/Research
The professionals and vendors you choose should be recommended and researched before you hire them.
Day of Wedding Schedule
Print up a schedule of wedding day timelines and give it to your officiate, attendants, vendors, parents, etc. Everyone will be on board with when and where they are supposed to be. Again, delegate to your trusted individuals wedding day tasks.
Prepare An Emergency Kit
Anticipate not only the needs of yourself and your bridesmaids, but also of the groomsmen and the guests. Items such as a first aid kit, sewing kit, shoe polish, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, lip balm, Shout wipes and water bottles are a few of the essentials.
Plan B
Take a look at the scenarios surrounding your wedding day. Anticipate anything that might go awry. For instance, what if it rains? does the hallway or walkway have enough light? what happens if you break a heel? You can also ask your vendors about their "what if" plans?
No worries about things that probably won't happen~ just anticipate the possibility of what might realistically happen, so you can effectively handle any mishaps.
Essentially Yours, coordinating wedding invitation ensemble

Seacrest Wedding in Gig Harbor, a gem of a location for an intimate I do
This private home has been renovated to accomediate an intimate wedding of 60 with tables, chairs, venue included for $1500. Additional tables and chairs can be rented and brought in, but if you're on a budget, this venue has a little bit of everything.
From the balchony there is a fantastic view of the mountain, the water, and the forest, and on a sunny day, you have all of nature's elements to make it a breath taking place to tie the knot.
Cheryl and Sergio Hernandez became man and wife witnessed by about 70 of their closest friends and family. Cheryl wore a goddess inspired wedding down with a sage waist band, and Sergio looked dashing in his black coat, white tie, and white vest.
The archway was decorated with white cloth and an array of flowers with colors so vibrant that they seem to pop in their arrangments.
At the bar, they served, microbrew beers, Sangaria as a signature drink, sweet southern iced tea with lemons, as well as water, which is important on a hot day, and finger foods like roast beef asaragus rolls, a chocolate fountain, and Italian biscotti for their guests to enjoy before the formal buffet was available.
The buffet had freshly baked corn bread served with clover honey, a gourmet green salad and sesame ginger dressing, traditional southern fried chicken, hand made bell pepper crab cakes, spiral cut ham, baked beans, green beans, handmade Parmesean mashed potatoes, peach cobbler, cold slaw, and vanilla ice cream.
We were happy to be a part of their special day.

Why use a wedding planner? It's sooooo worth it.
If you are like me, you are one word, busy. Working or school or raising babies, and planning a wedding becomes this thing that you know you have to make all these preparations for it to happen, but are having a hard time finding the time, space, and organization to make it happen. Life will happen whether you plan it or not, but when you can trust someone who has the skills and creativity to make it happen, then it takes the pressure off your shoulders and into the hands of professional people who do this for a living.
I personally have my preferences on which companies I want to be affiliated with, some of the things I look for are:
#1 Quick response
#2 Professionalism
#3 References
#4 Pictures
#5 Personality
Jessica Smith Kaiser
Geannie Meckler
Kimberly Walker
are a few wedding planners I would recommend, call us for more information.

Wedding of your dreams vs Reality of weddings
#1 Themes are great, the simplest theme can go a long way.
#2 The human factor, accept that although people will be on their best behavior, that unexpected comments, or jokes, or even an action rolls off your back or laugh it off. Sometimes people are just going to be weird.
#3 Have a PLAN B for rain or heat.
#4 Get a planner, a professional planner so that your day flows like water and stays on schedule.
#5 Have everything in writing, and don't accept changes from venues or vendors once your contract is signed.
#6 It's one day, an important day, but this day opens a new chapter in your personal history, bring it in with laughter, smiles, and grace.
#7 Eat something, blood sugar dropping is a bad thing. Eat something light and healthy, trust me, you'll still fit in the dress.
#8 Walk down the aisle slowly, lots of people want to capture you're moment, unless you want to look like a blur, take your time.
#9 Don't sweat the small stuff, it's the bid picture that counts.
#10 It's ok to cry, just do it before you put on make up :)

Step Out of Trouble with Step Relatives-Ceremony & Reception Seating
Blended Family Ceremony Seating
For step-relatives, be sure your Planner or Ushers know who they are. Step-relatives should be escorted to their seats before genetic/birth relatives. For instance, step-grandparents would be ushered to the 3rd row before birth grandparents are ushered to the 2nd row. To avoid confusion, reserve a few extra rows directly behind immediate family for step-grandparents and stepsiblings.
When parents are divorced, in either the Brides or Grooms family, seat the parent who primarily raised the Bride or Groom in the front row with his/her spouse, and seat the other parent and his/her spouse in the 2nd or 3rd row. If relations are amicable, birth parents may sit beside each other in the first row, or they may share the front row with stepparents. Discuss this in advance to avoid awkward moments, and have your Planner or Officiant put actual names on the chairs/pews, to avoid confusion as the ceremony approaches.
The bride's mother is always seated last at a Christian & often in general, non-faith based North American ceremonies; the groom's mother is seated just before her. (In Jewish ceremonies, parents stand under the huppah with the couple). The seating of the bride's mother signals that the ceremony is about to begin.
Blended Family Reception Seating
Traditionally, parents & grandparents from both families are seated together, but if the Brides or Grooms parents are divorced, and seating them together will create any tension, each set of parents can host their own table of close family and/or friends. This could mean up to four parents' tables, depending on your situation.
Remember, when dealing with blended families, be flexible. Set it up in whatever way best reduces your stress as a couple. If you're unsure, always strike up a conversation with the parents in question, to help you make your final decision.

Wedding planner or pretender
I am not trying to say that everyone with the title of wedding planner isn't qualified for the job, in fact, there are a lot of wonderful ladies out there, and a couple of gentlemen that go the industry justice by organizing and designing weddings, there are also a lot of people that think that if they can do a friend's or family's wedding, that they have all the experience and know how in the world in doing your wedding.
What to look for in a wedding planner:
#1 How many weddings have they done?
#2 Can you contact the brides?
#3 Do they have a business license or is it something they do on the side?
#4 Are they organized?
#5 Are the interested in your vision or creating their own?
#6 Are they easy to get a hold of?
#7 Do they call you back quickly?
#8 How long have they been doing their business?
#9 Is finding information on them hard to find online?
#10 Are they asking for a lot of money up front?
Beware of the people who claim they can make your wedding dreams a reality, because it may end up a nightmare. Experience is important. Call for our recommendations.

Save Money On Your Wedding Cake
You want cake! Pies, cookies and wonderfully decorated muffins just will not do. A fabulously designed wedding cake is a work of art, something to be admired. How can you have that center of attention, eye-appealing, amazing cake and save money on your cake? In most cases, you can save money by renting a fake wedding cake or just tiers of it. The fake cakes (or tiers) are made of Styrofoam and are fully decorated with real icing, in the same style as your wedding. A portion of the cake is real so that the two of you can share from it before it is whisked away to the kitchen~ where clever staff cut delicious pieces from sheet cakes. Guests need not ever know and so, you really can have your wedding cake and save money too!

Chic wedding on a budget 10 ways to save big!
10 Simple ways to save money on your wedding:
#1 Use a venue that provides something other than the venue as a back drop, look for one that offers chairs, tables.
#2 Look for a caterer that provides something other than just the food, plates, glassware, utensils, napkins
#3 Get a photographer that will give you the digital rights to your photos, honestly what do they need to keep your negatives for?
#4 Use a DJ who plays what you want, not the top 40 or sometimes inappropriate songs like "Stroke it."
#5 Hire a clean up crew from a local charity group, kids wanting to earn a little something for an organization like the Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts.
#6 Skip the fluff, if it isn't needed, skip it. Candles in glass holders and fresh flowers are more chic than plastic petals and sprinkles.
#7 Use a bar service that allows you to purchase your own liqour.
#8 Save money by having the wedding and the reception at the same location.
#9 Recycle, vases, candle holders, that are clear can be used for any theme.
#10 Be realistic on a budget and stick to it!
Hope that helps from this side of the industry.

Why NOT to cater your own wedding!
I got called in the middle of the week by a venue that we do regular catering for, and asked if I could send a bartender or two. I said I'd go and bartend if they needed.
We arrived early, and when got the champagne chilled, the red wine airing, the sangaria made, and so on and so forth.
We watched the bride and groom go to the wedding spot, and waited for the ceremony to be over, and the mad rush to the bar to begin.
Noticing that the food was still wrapped in foil and not in the chaffing pans, we asked the venue where are the catering staff? They replied that the family was responsible for the food and provided helpers. The wedding food was provided by a family member, and no one to set it up or serve it.
Since we were only contracted for the bar, we could not do anything with the food besides tell the helpers what they needed to do with the food. The "helpers" they had were useless, and being as inexperienced in the timing of food preparation and how to set up a chaffing tray, the wedding was over, and the bride and groom were walking happily toward the bar and food area, from joyous faces to being dumbfounded with what they saw.
The guests were herded to the bar area, and the mother and father of the bride made a mad dash to get the food hot ( over 140 degrees to be safe ) and stall the guests from eating.
The mother of the bride ended up reheating the food, cutting the cake, and serving the guests, all in her beautiful dress.
The dishes ended up piled in front of their guests, all because they didn't plan on those things that a catering company generally covers in their service.
I'm not saying that all weddings caterer by the family turn out less than perfect, but if you want to ease the stress and make everything run smoothly, hire a caterer to take care of everything, they do it for a living, and are trained in service and food safety.

Our couple for 2008 all expense paid wedding
Our lucky couple are Jessica and Jerry. They have been selected by the staff of Serenitea Catering as the 2008 Wedding on us.
They were ahead on thier bills, going strong on their careers when a serious illness took a parent, and a late diagnosis of cancer put them in financial dispair. Having to pay out of pocket for medical treatments made affording a dream wedding impossible.
They give of their time to their community and carry the burden of two mortgages so that their father wouldn't lose his home in addition to having a modest home of their own.
Jerry wanted to give Jessica the wedding of her dreams, something small and intimate surrounded by family and friends, but Fate stepped in and medical bills took all of their savings.
I can not tell people enough the importance of having insurance. The mother who passed did not have insurance and a sudden and unexpected death caused financial havic to the family.
One of the best ways to take care of the ones you love is to protect them when you are gone. I recommend Steven Frank for any of your insurance needs. He takes care of us, and would be able to find you affordable insurance to take care of the ones you love.

Palladium Rings - fast becoming a popular choice for couples
If you are looking at getting wedding rings, or wedding bands, you've not doubt noticed how expensive platinum rings are nowadays. Many people just cannot afford to spend $2,000 on a platinum wedding band.
What about white gold? Well, if you've ever worn a white gold ring for some time you notice that the ring will "yellow". The white color wears off and you are left with a dingy whiteish-yellowish color. Definitely, not the color the ring was when you bought it.
So what will you buy if you want a precious metal wedding band that is white? How about Palladium Wedding Ring?
Palladium is a precious metal in the platinum metals group that is rare, naturally white, hypoallergenic and much much more affordable than platinum. Some of the biggest, best wedding band companies, such as Scott Kay, ArtCarved, Novell and others are now putting their creative efforts into palladium.
I highly recommend palladium for your wedding band!
