Know These 4 Practical Ways to Rewear Your Prom Dress

Know These 4 Practical Ways to Rewear Your Prom Dress

Comment   

As we all know that prom dresses are not daily dresses that can just wear one or two times. Generally, you spent lots of time and energy to find out the perfect prom dress. Then you only got to wear it one night! Here are a few ideas that will give you the opportunity to re-wear your favorite prom dress:

1. Have it shortened
You'll likely find a lot more opportunities to wear a short cocktail dress than you will with a formal long evening dress. Take your prom dress to a tailor to have it shortened and hemmed. This way, you can rock your gown at cocktail parties or weddings and dress it either up or down depending on the event.

2. Wear with different outwear, shawl and accessories
Some formal dresses are strapless, one shoulder, off shoulder or other necklines. You can match with different shawls, outwear and accessories to different your look. Generally, simple elegant dresses are easily matched than some very sophisticated heavy and featured dress.

3. Make a maxi skirt
If you have no problem cutting into your dress, this option is perfect for a fashionista. Maxi skirts are all the rage right now, and you can cut your floor-length prom gown in half to make your own!

4. Host a party
If you want an excuse to wear your prom dress again, then make one up! Host your very own prom party with all of your friends, and have them all wear the dresses they wore to the big high school event. This time around, you can experiment with different accessories to create a whole new look with the same dress.

So, friends, which way do you prefer?

Find your perfect venue

Find your perfect venue

Comment   

You’ve found your groom. You’ve bought the perfect dress. You’re expecting a fairytale wedding. Now all you need is the best wedding venue. Having a perfect wedding relies largely on the venue. That’s why you should treat finding a wedding venue as if you are having a High Mountain Wedding. It's where you will treat your friends and relatives to the most memorable night of your life. Here are some tips to help you search for the best wedding venue:

As soon as you arrive at a venue you will automatically have a certain feeling towards it. Trust your instincts. If you feel a certain vibe when you are at the venue then that’s a good start. You will know automatically if a certain venue is not right for you and your wedding. This doesn’t mean that you should not use logic when choosing a wedding venue. It’s the place where you will exchange vows with the man you love so it has to feel right.

A wedding is a very important event so take your time when choosing the venue. You should start looking for a venue at least a year before the wedding date. This will give you plenty of time to make the right decisions and change the venue in case something comes up. You can also try on some online wedding information about venues. You find an indoor type or maybe as grand as Tahoe Beach Wedding. If you give yourself enough time, then you can make the right choice.

The size of the venue is a very important consideration. If the venue is too large, the wedding will loose its intimacy. If it’s too small, it will be cramped and uncomfortable. Of course, the size of your venue depends on the number of your guests. So before looking for a venue you should at least have a rough idea of how many guests you will be inviting. Be as precise as possible. Try to keep the range no higher than 50 people. If you say you are planning for between 150 and 400 guests, expect a disaster.

Don't forget the dance floor. This is where mistakes are made. If you are dealing with 300 guests, than a 10 by 10 dance floor won't do. The more guests you have, the larger the dance floor will need to be.

One of the complaints people have when attending a wedding is the lack of parking spaces. Be sure that the wedding venue you choose has enough parking spaces for all your guests. Parking may be a minor consideration, it becomes a major problem when there isn't enough.

Be sure to ask about the restrictions of the venue, if there are any. Some venues have time restrictions while others will let you party all night long. There are venues with decorations restrictions.There may even be restrictions about noise so you might not be able to hire a band or bring in a sound system. Check if the wedding venue will allow you to bring your own caterer, florist, decorator, etc.

Have a layout of your wedding. Before choosing a wedding venue, you need a drawn out plan. You need to know where you want guests to sit, where you want the reception area, the dining area, etc. Then see if the venue fits your layout.

Remember, with a well thought out plan, plenty on time, and a little research, finding the best wedding venue can be a piece of cake. Without these components, a nightmare. The choice is easy

Planning Corporate Events

Planning Corporate Events

Comment   

At some point in your business career you may be asked to put together a corporate event or party. Companies are always looking for opportunities to hold conferences with colleagues, celebrate special occasions and holidays, launch new products and gather for meetings. Sometimes the office boardroom will suffice for the setting but other times will require a more elegant environment such as a banquet facility or party venue. If you are in charge of planning your company’s next event, follow some helpful planning tips from The Bell Tower on 34th.

What’s the Occasion – Before you can begin to plan your business event, know what the event is for. Are you celebrating a record sales quarter? Is it a holiday party in December? Are you launching a new product to the public? Be specific about what the event is for and consult with your executive team to be sure everyone is on the same page.

What’s the Theme – Corporate events can be formal suit and tie conferences or more casual meet-and-greets. Depending on the direction you go in will determine the theme of the event. Casual gatherings can be as simple as a cocktail reception while formal events may involve speakers, presentations and demonstrations. Know in advance what the purpose of the event is so you can create a theme that matches the occasion.

What’s your Budget – How much you have to spend on a corporate event will play a major role in your planning. Reserving a meeting center, hiring a caterer and spending for entertainment such as a DJ or string quartet isn’t cheap and the sooner you know what your budget is the better chance you have to make the best decisions. Budgets may be flexible but are often pretty strict so meet with the company bean counters and be sure you know your max when it comes to spending for a corporate event.

Tips To Hosting An Unforgettable Private Dinning Experience

Tips To Hosting An Unforgettable Private Dinning Experience

Comment   

Planning the perfect private dining event is all about the details. Private dining details are defined by your guests’ preferences, dietary needs and anything that contributes to making the event an exceptional experience.

The following seven event planning tips showcase the important details you must address to not only accommodate, but also impress your guests:


1. Know Who You Are Hosting-
The more information you can gather about your guests ahead of time allows you to create a private dining event that is sure to please everyone.

Take the time to understand the ages and personal preferences of your guests. Knowing who you are hosting helps you develop the perfect theme and provide the right accommodations for your private event.

2. Give A Realistic RSVP Timeframe-
Send out your private dining invites early enough to give guests enough time to respond. A three-to-four-week window for a response is an appropriate timeframe.

For larger private dining events, consider using an online RSVP service – it is easier for guests to respond, a simpler way for you to manage your guest list and is typically free and less time-consuming than invites sent through the mail.

3. Provide Guests With Information Ahead Of Time-
Directions and parking are concerns for guests unfamiliar with the location of your private event. You want your guests to show up feeling stress free and ready to celebrate.

If your guests are coming from out of town, provide them with a list of hotels and modes of transportation. Also provide detailed directions to the venue, along with parking options. They will be grateful for the guidance.

4. Create Sensible Seating Arrangements-
Seating arrangements ensure your guests have a good time at your event. A placard placed at each table setting creates less awkwardness, so guests do not have to guess where to sit when they arrive.

Note certain personality types and seat people together who are likely to click. Consider seating a guest who is more introverted next to another guest known to be really upbeat and friendly, one who inherently encourages others to join in.


5. Prepare To Cater To Different Palettes-
Using the information you gathered about your guests, it is also important to consider menu items everyone enjoys. Create a custom menu with options catering to the simpler, casual eaters as well as the most adventurous ones.

Additionally, you will likely have a handful of guests with dietary restrictions, so your private dining menu must cater to their needs. The more information you gather ahead of time the better.

6. Mix It Up-
If you are hosting a sit-down dinner, be mindful that your guests may have been sitting in long meetings all day prior to your dining event.

Allow your guests to mingle by incorporating a dessert station or passed sweets, instead of another course at the table. This helps to re-energize the group and encourages everyone to socialize before departing for the evening.

7. Thank Your Guests In Person-
Many think that sending a simple “thank you” card is enough to properly thank guests for attending their private event. What really makes an impression, however, is a personal conversation.

Thank your guests individually for attending the event and send them home with a little something to remember the evening. This rather simple gesture goes a long way.
