The Wedding Organizer

Do you know why?

jeanhunt — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:07:14 +0000

In past times most people tended to get married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, in the belief that by the time they got married they would still be smelling pretty sweet! The tradition of carrying a bouquet of freshly cut flowers was in actual fact to hide their body odour and of course that custom has remained ever since – the carrying of a bouquet not the yearly dip!

Thank heavens for showers!

Only a few days to go until the Spring Sale by Karen Verena Designer Wedding Gowns

jeanhunt — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:11:21 +0000

It’s all hands to the pumps at Karen Verena Designer Wedding Gowns in Alcester. Karen and her team are busily preparing for their grand sale at The Abbey Hotel Redditch.

Karen tells me that she will be including in the sale gowns from Alfred Angelo, winner of the best collection 2012 and Amanda Wyatt who also won yet another best dress award this year. She also hastened to say that there will be gowns from all the designers that she stocks and maybe one of her all time favourites by Sophia Tolli, the very grand “Siena” which has a lovely empire line, lace and satin.

So as we said before in our previous post, if you are serious about getting the dress of your dreams don’t miss out on the sale this Sunday the 29^th April.

We at the Wedding Organizer would like to congratulate Karen on her nomination to be short listed for the West Midlands Industry Award of Wedding Dress Retailer 2012.

Spotlight on Andrew Ball Photography

jeanhunt — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:33:33 +0000

Andrew Ball is a seasoned professional eagerly awaiting the 2012 wedding season getting into full swing.

Andrew believes that this success is due to meticulous planning to achieve the best results and finds preview visits an invaluable opportunity to get to know couples before the wedding and to discuss in detail exactly what their expectations are and how best he can turn them into reality. As Andrew says 'Every wedding is a unique occasion, something which makes the job of a wedding photographer both challenging and rewarding”. Andrew leaves nothing to chance and is always prepared for every eventuality bringing along back up equipment and studio lights for indoor shots, just in case the weather does not want to play ball (excuse the pun!).

With his unobtrusive approach , Andrew's photographic style is a blend of the traditional and contemporary – ' I visualise each picture I take as a piece of a jig-saw combining to tell the bigger picture of the happy couple's special day'

With sensibly priced packages and only committing to one wedding a day we recommend that you book early.

As a SPECIAL PROMOTION for readers of the Wedding Organizer Andrew Ball Photography is offering a 10% discount off his website prices.
