New Weekly Series: Ask the Planners!

Another new series of ours will be "Ask the Planners". Each week we will post one of the hundreds of questions that pour in to us on a regular basis! Check out this week's topic!

Question: "When purchasing gifts for the bridal party, is it protocol to include the flower girls, even if they are under the age of 5?" -Question asked by Lisa Peden, Houston TX

ANSWER: It is extremely important to recognize everyone in your bridal party when selecting gifts, even the flower girls and ring bearers. These little helpers appreciate the recognition even more than the adult attendants do. A great gift idea for a flower girl would be a little tote bag filled with goodies such as a costume jewelry set to wear with her dress on the day of your wedding, a little book about the importance of being a flower girl, some coloring books and crayons to keep her occupied during her "off-duty" time, and even a personalized T-shirt with her name on it and FLOWER GIRL printed on the front or back. Anything you can do to make her feel like a special part of your wedding day will make her proud!

Lavish Events + Goodeelicious = The sweetest time of your life

Now that Lavish Events is officially a "Blog Friendly" company, we would like to start a few weekly series for our readers' pleasure. The first entry in our "Vendors We Adore" series is Goodeelicious!

Dee O'Brien followed her dream of owning her own candy and chocolate store, now known as "Goodeelicious Sweet Shoppe" in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She dabbles in the exciting art of chocolate covered creations including marshmallows, apples, strawberries, chips, pears.....you name it, she'll dip it! As a preferred vendor of Lavish Events, Goodeelicious can provide your favorite candies for a 'candy buffet' at your event, a 'bride and groom' chocolate covered strawberry topper for your wedding cake, monogrammed chocolate favors, or almost anything you can imagine. Goodeelicious also offers sugar free chocolate goodies!

Guys, women love chocolate, but women love diamonds more! Lavish Events is pleased to announce that we will begin to start planning marriage proposals! GUYS, this is a lifesaver for you! Could you imagine the suprise on her face when Lavish Events plans the perfect proposal for you, including your presentation of her beautiful engagement ring in a box made of chocolate or gently placed in a chocolate covered strawberry? She wouldn't be able to say no!
