A professional bridal consultant can be priceless!

A PROFESSIONAL BRIDAL CONSULTANT IS PRICELESS!
Just look at a few things that “went wrong” when friends and family took charge during these wedding situations:

• A friend was hired as DJ, but wanted to dance,party and drink all night!
• The DJ doesn’t know whose name is who and when to introduce them. Where's the list???
• Ran out of food before the wedding party arrived!!
• Mother of the bride stressed and short with everyone entire weekend of wedding due to planning, nonstop chores and no rest!
• Nobody to cue wedding party and fix any problems at rehearsal and ceremony!
• Rehearsal lasted two to three hours longer than it should!
• Different opinions, no compromising, no organization, no "go to person" for the bridal party!
• Over 25 guests don't arrive at reception and you still have to pay...Who took care of the RSVPs?
• Mom’s corsage is broken before wedding begins, who’s going to fix it ?
• Wedding cake arrived at very last minute!
• Who knows how to cut a wedding cake???
• Wedding dress needs altered day before wedding? Where do we go???
• Ushers chomping gum during seating of guests and communion!
• No children's activities; crying and talking during the ceremony!
• Poor attention span during the photography session… photographer needed help…where were the “friends”???
• Your wedding reception is under tent and it rains ... Who’s going to move the tables inside the tent, wipe off the seats and protect the linens from getting soaked while you are at the ceremony?
• Bridesmaid ripped dress 15 minutes before wedding ceremony. Who’s going to help?
• Tuxes not returned in time, due to a “friend” volunteering!

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BRIDAL CONSULTANTS CONVENTION
I just returned from the National Association of Bridal Consultants convention and have so much to share with you. I attended the Sandals Resort seminar and discovered how truly amazing the resorts can be for your honeymoon or next getaway. They have so many options to choose, and all are inclusive. Check out my Sandals link for more info.

DAVID TUTERA Celebrity Event Planner and Wedding Designer
SPEAKING OF AMAZING... the bridal convention's featured speaker was the one and only, DAVID TUTERA. David had so many fabulous ideas and is blessed with endless creativity. No wonder he is the host of "get married" and "The Party Planner" along with featured guest on so many television shows. He now does Disney couture weddings and took attendees on a private tour of the Disney wedding venue. His entertaining and design skills are phenomenal!

LINENS
NEW COLORS FOR SPRING... Raspberry, eggplant and rose will be hot colors this spring and summer. Toss in a little coral and you have colors that will pop! Check out BBJ Linens Azra Sheer and Carlisle Lamour.
Chocolate is here to stay with BBJ Linens Brown Niko, Cocoa Blue Rhapsody, Abstract Lamour and Brown Crocodile. Add a splash of Burnt Orange Bengaline and wow! Look at Black Orleans Damask too. It is reversible!

NEW COCKTAIL RECIPE... Recently I returned from the National Association of Bridal Consultants convention. I returned with sooo many new trends and ideas to make your wedding amazing! At the farewell gala we had a great signature drink. It was called,
"Girl's Night Out". I renamed it "Pomegranate Punch" for a recent event I did for an energy company's holiday party. They loved it! Try the recipe, and see what you think:
1 part pomegrantae schnapps
1 part orange juice
2 parts Sprite
Garnish with orange

INDY STAR ARTICLE
Kim King Smith Events, LLC was so proud to be featured in the December 29th Indianapolis Star, Home and Garden section. We made the front page with holiday tablescapes that you can use in January and February too! Julie Saetre, from the Star, was kind enough to ask me to coordinate some tablescapes for her that would be able to go from the holidays to early spring. No need to put up your beautiful pieces after the holidays, transcend them to a stunning tablescape for the entire winter. Thanks to my friends from CRATE AND BARREL, TWIGS in Fishers, CHARLES MAYER and CO. at 56th and Illinois and RITA'S BACKYARD floral design. Special thanks to my friends at THE MANSION AT OAK HILL, the Zehrs, for providing the facility for the photo shoot and for displaying their wonderful tablescape too.

SPEAKING OF TABLESCAPES...my friends and I will have two tables at the Art of the Table. The first one will be themed "WEDDING IN PARIS" Ooh la la!! It will be wonderful.

I HAD THE VERY BEST TIME...at the December ISES (International Special Event Society) meeting, a professional organization for event specialists. It was held at The Mansion at Oak Hill on 116th and Hazel Dell. Guest speaker was OPRAH'S EVENT PLANNER, DEBI LILY who has worked extensively with Colin Cowie and Preston Bailey on events. Debi gave us education and insight into the very latest trends in event and wedding design. She told us all about how she planned Oprah's 50th birthday bash and other fab events for the star.
