Did you know that about 30% of engagements occur in the month of December? Did you know that majority of weddings occur in the months of June, August or September?
If you fall under those statistics, then by February, you are probably in the wedding planning stage. You’ve probably have been immersed in pinning and absorbing tons of tips from a multitude of websites and magazines.
What if there was a way to actually meet the professionals in your own area and see samples of their work to help your planning process go so much smoother? Well, it sounds like you need to go to Wedding Expos!
Never fear! Wedding and Bridal Expos/Showcases are happening in the DMV area! These are events in which you can meet the vendors and see samples of their work, so that you may choose them to be involved in your wedding. There are caterers, planners, floral designers, and the like.

Let’s Keep Calm and Carry On with planning your wedding!
Thanks to fellow Blogger, Melanie Pinola, she writes tips on what past brides and wedding planners wish they could pass on to the “newly-engaged”:
1. You are going to disagree with, or offend Someone (And that’s ok!) during the planning of your wedding and maybe even during your wedding.
2. Guess What’s Just as Bad as Being Bridezilla? Being Indecisive!
3. Splurge on the Most Important Things
5. Make Checklists, especially of Photographs You Want

Hi Friends!
Did you know that almost 300,000 children are born every year with some form of sickle cell disease? Sickle Cell is a group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down (Google reference). Sickle cell disease is a life-long illness. The severity of the disease varies widely from person to person, sometimes a person can even need certain organ transplants because of the disease. Sickle Cell Anemia can also cause crippling chronic pain.Tres Belle Weddings and Special Events, is encouraged that social media awareness has become an effective way to promote and support a variety of campaigns; and this September, we would like your support in bringing awareness to treatments, research and hope for a cure to sickle cell anemia.
Our Ask:
Post a selfie on your Facebook and social media feeds, wearing bold lipstick colors in support of Sickle Cell Awareness.#BoldLipsforSickleCell
The ribbon color for Sickle Cell Awareness is Purple, so consider a Bold lipstick, like MAC’s Sheen Supreme Lipstick-“Quite The Thing!”
Additional Facts about our Campaign:
Team Lead-Makeup Artist of Tres Belle Weddings, Jasmine Dixon has a son named Isaiah who suffers daily with the affects of sickle cell anemia.
As Jasmine watches him grow into a wonderful and kind young man, his growth is slow and painful due to sickle cell anemia. Isaiah frequently suffers from pain that is so debilitating that he can barely walk at times from the pain and is constantly, medically treated. He recently had a “sickling crisis” and needed 3 blood transfusions in a week. Unfortunately, Isaiah’s sickle cell anemia is considered by most, to be one of the worst cases of the disease, but there’s always hope that with modern treatment, he’ll be able to lead a normal and healthy life.
On September 21st, Isaiah will turn 5 years old. He’s a bright young boy, who has a love for legos and his mother, Jasmine would love to provide him with a beautiful vacation at LegoWorld.
It would be a joy, if we could provide just a little support for Jasmine and Isaiah to go on a vacation that will take their minds off of his illness and for Isaiah, to just be a kid.
Support Isaiah’s Vacation by visiting: http://www.gofundme.com/hc3z54qg
Thank You to our friends and coworkers who have inspired this campaign.

Flowers are expected to be seen at every wedding whether it be your wedding or a wedding you attend. Flowers have a lot of different meanings other than just looking pretty in vases and on tables. Each color of the flower portrays a certain mood and tone to the weddings. But how to add flowers without being overly obvious.
Not just with your centerpieces, but you can add flowers to each plate as a token of gratitude or add pressed flowers to the table to act as confetti. Flattened flowers will work better as they are dried, so the trick is to keep them for a longer period of time. As an added bonus, they take up less room on the table if you’re struggling for space.
The trend last year seemed to have trees down the aisles and this year it is also a trend, but there is nothing stopping you from covering your aisle with your favorite flower petals. Petals are known to be nature’s confetti, so use them wisely. Another unique way to incorporate flowers is to give out flowers to people as you pass them.
It can be a simple flower in your hair or it can be an intricate floral headband on top of your head. Brides have always looked amazing with flowers in their hair. INo color in your scheme? Then add a peachy flower petal to your hair and that will make things pop. Roses always look good on people, but did you ever think to try a tiger lily? I bet you can pull it off.
Many people tend to focus on the inside of their venues, but they forget to add some decoration to the outside of their venues. By adding some floral decorations to the outside of your venue will be another way to make people remember your venue and your wedding over everyone.
Both outside and inside you can find creative ways to use floral arch ways. The arch can be outside as people walk into the venue, or you can have one at the altar and get married below it. The best part of the archway is the wide variety of flowers that you can use to decorate it with. You can even get really super creative and use vine type plants such as roses or ivy.
You can use them as gorgeous decorations on your wedding dress! Flowers won’t last forever so you must bear that in mind, but if you get them fresh on the day of your wedding they will last. Depending on how creative you are, you can go for a small bunch on the front or absolutely cover yourself in them. But if you suffer from hay fever this is not advised.
The way a bride arrives is always different so it could be a car, motorcycle or a horse and carriage, and any of these could be decorated with flowers. There are many unique ways to incorporate flowers into your wedding and you can be as creative as you want or you can hire someone to help you to find the ways to incorporate them.
