Planners we all know this is a busy season for us with weddings and events! The experience can be over whelming and exciting at the same time! How realistic are you in your consultation? We all know that brides and grooms are excited about their special day but realistically they have no clue how much things cost! They give you their budget and sometimes you are like whoa! Yes we all know that our goal is for clients to stay in their budget and still have their day turn out wonderful but planners need to also be realistic with potential clients on how much things cost in today's market for wedding items! There are always deals out there but you get what you pay for and it's 2012! My advice to you planners is have a breakdown of each category and give them an estimate price of how much things will cost such as: venue, cake, dj, catering, limos, decor, invitations and many more! I have done this practice with many clients and it helps them be more prepared of the wedding in...

We all know when it comes to bills, lifestyles, parties & events we want it all! But the reality check comes in and we say: "I can't afford it!" Many times people can afford a lot of things if they put their mind to it and budget! As an event/wedding planner i see it everyday! People want extravagant parties, weddings, & events and they can't afford it! I tell my clients all the time you can have it but you trying to plan this in 2 months with this budget? They also get aggravated when they can't get what they want. My biggest advice is be realistic with your financial budget in life! Wether it's your personal household, wedding, event or party. Reach for the stars and get what you want but it's call planning and organization. If you wan that extravagant 40th bday party with a 10,000 budget then start planning when you are 38! If you want a destination wedding and you know you can't afford those plane tickets and venue then plan 2 yrs ahead o...

We all know events are very challenging to put together! Many people flock to parties, functions, and get togethers but what about the value and support for events? Many people say: i'm tired of the club or want to try something different, but do they really do it? Positive events explores the mind, great networking, learning different ideas and concepts, and also can surround you around a positive environment. Have you always wanted to try speed dating, go to a wine tasting, networking event or open mic? Support planners that work hard, step out the box, and give the public something different to do! Think about it most events run 10-50.00, sometimes free! Sometimes i just don't understand the logic when someone goes to a club all the time. They spend money on their hair, nails, outfit, pay to get inside club, and also for drinks. After the night is over, the average amount spent is 50.00 or more. Not knocking clubs but come on if you are 30 or older you should not be in the...

Each year the buzz is always going around about the latest trend colors for weddings. Brides always want to stay updated and know what is "in" if they are getting married! This year many colors are going back to the 80's with bright colors! They say history repeats! Look out for bright bold colors such as pink, blue and yellow. Many brides will use these colors for destination weddings, and step out the box theme weddings. Other colors this year are for brides who want a more sophisticated look with darker and dull colors such as pear green,gold, brown, and tangerine. Brides are also stepping out the box and pairing up colors that will normally not match or people wouldn't think of putting together such as chocolate brown with bright colors. 2012 is looking very bright! Best wishes with all brides and their wedding and marriage for 2012! Contact Selections Entertainment for all your planning & coordination needs! www.selectionsent.com
