Job Well Done

The Bridal Party's Autumn Candlelight Bride tied-the-knot this passed Friday night at The Richfield Regency. The bride and groom worked together with me for 10 months planning this romantic and intimate celebration which featured a chocolate/dahlia palette and loads of special touches such as a personalized aisle runner (designed by the groom), a wishing well in the place of a traditional guest book, a Swarovski crystal adorned canopy, custom menu cards and candles, candles, candles! This couple was such a pleasure to work with and all involved did an outstanding job.

Below are a few snapshots of the day ... but professional photographs are coming soon! Stay tuned.

Also, special thanks to Jocelyn for assisting (always an absolute life-saver).


P.S.  The groom is a graphic designer and decided to design and print the wedding programs himself, which came out beautifully.  When I saw the final version the night of the wedding, I noticed the couple added the following passage to the thank-yous on the back cover:
"Last but definitely not least, we would like to thank Rashana Anderson of The Bridal Party LLC for being the phenomenal wedding planner that you are.  It is because of you that this wedding will indeed be a success, by shedding valuable insight and creative ideas that we would have never though of, and for that we thank you so very much."

... and that's why I love what I do.  Things like this make it all so worth it!

scam (skām): A fraudulent business scheme

Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam! I happen to know that international cashier's checks are not fully validated for 90 days. So even though the check may clear at first, if found to be phony, the money is later deducted. I must say, i

"Farm Sweet Farm" 1st Birthday Party

My husband and I celebrated our baby twins, Jonah & Gia's, 1st birthday with a "Farm Sweet Farm" party last weekend.  The party was held at our home (aka The Anderson Farm ) and our closest family and friends excitedly attended.  Honestly it's still difficult for us to believe a full year has gone by since they entered our lives, but one thing was clear from the beginning --- we had a lot to celebrate and we intended to do just that! Everyone had loads of fun; they would've partied until the cows came home if we let them.  And since the guests of honor LOVE animals, the theme proved to be absolutely perfect for them and their guests.  To most, I'm known for planning amazing weddings and bridal celebrations by means of THE BRIDAL PARTY , so it was really a lot of fun to step outside of my comfort zone and show off my versatility and range.  I can't deny, this was FUN!  I'm still quite "giddy" about it all. * * * * * * * * * * INVITA

New Beginning, New Life...Newlyweds, find your StyleScope!

Surprisingly I'm not ashamed to admit how much I adore shopping at HomeGoods (known for being packed with an ever-changing array of one-of-a-kind, and unexpectedly incredible finds from all over the world). There's just something about perusing their aisles and discovering those diamonds in the rough . So, to my husband's dismay, I am frequently "HomeGoods happy"...even recently taking advantage of an amazing sale on Lacoste bath linens! (yep, still somewhat giddy about it) Anyhow, as many of our readers are soon-to-be married or newly married, you'll have to take on the task of figuring out how your new home will be decorated.
