Make Sure Everything's In "Place"

 
(escort card design by Sarah Drake Design)

I love escort/place cards and nowadays there are countless unique ideas for displaying them in the most special ways. Some arrange their cards in various shapes amidst flickering votive candles or hang their cards from the branches of Manzanita trees, while others invest in holders that make a bold statement. If considering escort/place card holders, remember to keep these impressive styles for various themes in mind...

A symbol of friendship and long life in many cultures, bamboo brings an exotic touch to any wedding celebration. You'll be amazed at how something so light and delicate can carry so much meaning to your guests.

A decorative gift for your guests to take home and use as photo holders, these diminutive replicas of a grand piano are especially adorable for brides/grooms who are pianists.

With every realistic detail, this picturesque replica is a charming place card holder.  The hanging lantern swings with the slightest touch, as the metal lamp post proudly displays your guest's name on the scrolled placard that looks like a street sign.  New Orleans natives should definitely consider.

These pretty trays stand on a base of three gold rounds with their collars embellished with swirls of shells. Ideal for a beach-inspired wedding.

Mini Wooden Sailboat Place Card Holders
Each mini replica sailboat serves as a place card holder or table decoration for a nautical themed wedding. Rest a place card on the deck of the boat or tie one to the mast to create your own unique presentation.

Petite Jeune Bridal Gown Place Card Holders
Each is made of satin fabric with an empire waist, embellished with white, silver and glass beads.  The wire holder is made of chrome and will not tarnish.

Folding Beach Chair Place Card Holders
Each blue and white striped chair is a tiny vision of seaside relaxation complete with white wood folding frame.  Add custom printed beach-themed place cards to complete the look and prop a custom surfboard cookie next to each!

"Park Place" Vintage Park Bench Place Card Holders
Imagine these quaint place card holders greeting guests at your garden wedding. These charming, vintage benches with scroll design and brushed antique-gold finish are crafted from resin and metal.

“Recipe for Love” Wooden Rolling Pin Place Card Holders
Marrying a cook?  Invite guests to share their secret ingredients for a long and happy marriage with these perfectly practical rolling-pin place card/recipe card holders. The newlyweds get sage advice, and the guests go home with a cute recipe-card holder!

"Awakened to Love" Buddha Place Card Holders
He's a symbol of enlightenment and awakening - the red, resin Buddha is finely detailed, bearing golden "gifts" in each hand and wearing a golden, beaded necklace. His raised arms hold a place card or a favorite photo.

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...

Lorraine & Alim: Glamour & Grace

At the close of summer, another of our lovely couples, Lorraine and Alim, tied the knot at The Fox Hollow in Woodbury, New York.  I first met the bride during an appearance of mine on The Wendy Williams Show  seven years ago.  She was a producer on that show at the time, but is now Vice President of Programming for True Entertainment and Executive Producer of Bravo's hit " The Real Housewives of Atlanta ."  When she became engaged and called me to help plan her wedding, I was beyond thrilled ... and the rest in history. Lorraine and Alim are both proud New Yorkers, so much of their wedding's design stemmed from that.  We designed and executed an extravagantly beautiful affair where hues of purple and grey took center stage.  The venue's lush, outdoor garden was chosen for the ceremony, which featured a wooden pergola draped in flowing fabric and fresh flowers.  A live jazz duo provided romantic accompaniment, as the bride walked down the aisle to Ch...
