Honeymoon Hot Spot: Viceroy Maldives, Coming Soon!

To say that I am excited for the Viceroy Maldives to open, is an understatement. Look at how beautiful just these few photos are. I can tell this is going to be a top honeymoon destination!!

BNOnyc at The Caulfield, NYC

On my list of to do's for 2012 I had written down "attend at least 5 networking events". I'm already off to a great start with my first one being Blogger's Night Out in NYC last weekend. I met some truly fabulous ladies and had a wonderful time. There was a great turn out (as you can hopefully see below!) and you can bet I will be in attendance to their next event.

Is there any better city? 

The evenings gift bag's were amazing. They were stuffed with gift cards and goodies, and tons of products from one of my new favorite companies, BirchBox. 

The event had an amazing turn out, and I was thrilled to be able to be apart of it! 

Conversation Hearts and Emails

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope that you all have better plans then myself (if this post title didn't completely give it away!) Whether it is spent with your loved one, many loved ones (aka your girlfriends), or by yourself- enjoy it! 

Gorgeous Arizona Wedding, Ryan Ray Photography

This is my kind of wedding. The black and white color scheme with the gold accents is stunning. Plus, the lightly falling snow adds that extra touch of charm to these photos, wouldn't you agree? Ryan Ray did an amazing job! 

Honeymoon Hot Spot: Rosewood San Miguel

This is definitely a different feel than most of my Honeymoon Hot Spots on the blog. I always love the neutrals (which you see in the rooms), but was really drawn in by the amazing views and Mexican feel. Isn't the Rosewood San Miguel gorgeous?

Valentine's Day Gifts

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I can't even believe it (time is flying!) Do you and your boyfriend/fiance/husband (I think I may just consider this BFH from now on!) do anything special? Are you a flower and chocolates kind of girl? I know I wouldn't mind flowers and an awesome dinner reservation. What are you plans and hopes for this Valentine's Day?

The Experience at Erin Ax Events

"I've found that when you combine the relaxing sounds of the ocean, the soft white sand beneath your bare feet, and a refreshing glass of crisp sauvignon blanc or sparkling soda, the stress of the day or week quickly fades away".

Poised for Success

I have been reading the book, Poised for Success, and it has truly opened my eyes in more ways then I had anticipated. It's made me realize what more I can be providing for my clients. 

When I had made my list of things I had wanted my clients to remember me for,  at the top of my list wasn't just creating an amazing wedding day, but creating an amazing planning experience. 

I know that career stress paired with everyday life can get even the most organized and excited bride stressed out every now and again. But that's where I want to come in. I want to be an escape from all the stress and havoc life brings. Wouldn't you much rather enjoy planning your wedding over a latte at your most favorite cozy cafe, or maybe even over a tasty beverage on a warm summer day at the beach? THAT'S the experience I want to create. I want couples to look back on their wedding and the months leading up to it as the fun and exciting time that it actually is.
