It's time for a business and personal update.
We have definitely been making things happen for Flaire Weddings and Events in the past few months, and more to come in the coming weeks!
One of my big projects for the beginning of this year was to put together our spring intern team. Well, two wonderful interns will be joining our team and will try their hand at their first wedding this coming Saturday. Blog interviews for each of them will be coming soon.
Next up, a HUGE project that I have been working on behind the scenes for quite some time now -- another division of our company is opening up soon! We are in the final stages of prepping for its launch, and you're sure to hear much more about it in the days to come.
Finally, I'm working on streamlining some business processes and putting new systems in place to keep Flaire running like a well-oiled machine! :)
Personally, there are couple things we still need to "make happen."
"Baby sister," as my three-year-old son Ian calls our new little one, will be here in 8 short weeks.
That's quite exciting. There's only one problem. Her nursery: a construction zone.
We live in a 90-year-old historic home, and we recently decided to renovate the nursery. Which meant removing the plaster walls and installing new wiring. And that's been done.
That's all that's been done.
SO, we are now at crunch time to get this project finished before our little bundle arrives! (And when I say we, I TOTALLY mean my hubby. He gets to have all the construction fun by himself.) I'm better at saying, "This goes over here," or "I'm picturing something like this," while he actually wields the nail gun, drywall sanding tools, wire cutters, etc.
On top of this baby project, he's also working on graduating from law school (which will happen this May!!!) and prepping for the bar exam this summer.
Needless to say, 2010 has been off to a busy start!
I can't wait to update with more news about the upcoming developments, and look forward to sharing more in the future! :)

Real Wedding: Jenifer & Ian
Jenifer and Ian had such a beautiful wedding. Their venue, The White Room, is one of my favorite St. Augustine venues, and it was the perfect backdrop for their celebration.
Jenifer contacted me about Wedding Day Coordination back in April of last year, and we exchanged a few emails about availability, pricing, etc. Well, I didn't hear from her for quite some time, when I got an email from her this fall. Jen said they had thought about doing the coordinating themselves, but then as details started to pile up, quickly realized they wanted a coordinator assisting them. Jen cracked me up in one of her emails when she wrote, "What were we thinking??!" Needless to say, I was thrilled to be coming on board as the Wedding Day Coordinator, and what a fun and moving wedding it was! I'm so glad I got to be a part of this special day for Jen and Ian.
The couple currently lives in NYC, but had attended Flagler College in St. Augustine, so they were coming back to Florida for their wedding celebration.
Even though rain and cold weather changed their plans (the ceremony was originally planned for Ian's Aunt and Uncle's home in St. Augustine), everything still was gorgeous, and I was so impressed with how laid-back they both seemed considering this major change!
Jen and Ian's night was made possible by these fabulous vendors:
Venue: The White Room
Photographer: Jason Angelini Photography
Florist: Ian's Mother, Denise!! (She did an amazing job!!)
Cake: Classic Cakes
Transportation: Old Town Trolley Tours
Ceremony Music: Rick Kuncicky
DJ: Andy Calvert, High Fidelity DJ's
I was so excited when I saw these pictures appear on Jason Angelini's blog -- enjoy!
Such a stunning bouquet, made by Ian's mother!
Jenifer and Ian chose to do a "First Look" to get some amazing shots before the big moment. Fortunately, the rain let up a bit to allow time for these outdoor shots!
Loved these chair florals!
The White Room Loft served as a beautiful back-up location for the ceremony. My team had fun hanging the lace chuppah and stringing these orchids! (Since I am in my third trimester of pregnancy, I didn't do any work on the ladders -- I just got to be the boss from the floor!) hehe. :)
One of my set-up team members, Amy, was a math major in college, so planning out this escort card arrangement's spacing was right up her alley!
The gorgeous reception room.
Jen and Ian had a shrimp and grits station which looked like a big hit! The grits were served in these martini glasses.
The Viking Hat groom's cake. :)
Congrats Jen and Ian on your beautiful wedding -- thanks so much for allowing the Flaire Team to be a part of your celebration!
