Happy Monday! We have a gorgeous wedding to share with you this week…check back tomorrow for more eye candy photos!

Calling all fashion goddesses….your dream has finally come true! If ever wanted to wear a couture gown to an upcoming dinner party, girls night out, rehearsal dinner or bridal shower but couldn’t afford the price tag that comes with the fabulous dress?? Now all of that is a reality, and it is called Rent the Runway!

Rent the Runway gives users access to high fashion without any of the headaches. Think Alice + Olivia, Herve Leger, Diane Von Furstenberg, Thread Social, and many more!! There’s no need to scour 20 different stores, worry about a piece selling out, or stress over when you’ll wear an investment dress again. You can even shop in your pajamas (we won’t tell!). In addition to the convenience, RTR makes high fashion affordable. They buy pieces directly from top designers and then offer rentals at just 10% of retail prices. It couldn’t be simpler: just browse their pages until you find something you love. Yes, it’s that easy. After your wear it, just repack it in handy, pre-paid packaging and just drop it in a mailbox. (And don’t forget to tell us how it went!) Happy Shopping!

Your Bridesmaids are a special part of your day so make sure you let them know just how important they are with a one-of-a-kind gift. Custom calling cards are a fun new trend. Personalize with each girls’ name, phone number and email address. Store in this cute little felt card holder that slips right into your purse. Bridesmaids, have one handy to give out to the cute guy at the reception – and who knows? Your girlfriend may be the next Bride!

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you had a great weekend!  Many of you who are planning a wedding or know a Bride in the midst of her planning, realize there is a ton of thought and consideration that goes into the favors! The million dollar question is “What do I give my guests!?”  To make things easy for you, the 6 chicks have a golden rule when it comes to favors- “if you cannot eat or drink it, don’t give it!”  Sometimes there are exceptions to this rule such as a customized CD with the Bride and Grooms favorite playlist, but for the most part you cannot go wrong with sweets, candy, or a combination of both! 

A great Colorado favor and nod to “the Rockies” is candy rocks like in the above photo from Martha Stewart.  You can give your guests a bag of chocolate “rocks” in muslin pouches and detail it with your monogram or logo!  What guest wouldn’t want one of these adorable favors!?

For more ideas, please visit Martha Stewart Weddings and let us know what you are planning of giving YOUR guests!

Hello dahhlings!  The 6 Chicks have decided that every Wednesday we will have guest blogger Tasha Rae from Tasha Rae Designs,  share her latest (and greatest) stationary ideas and creations.  Tasha is a well known graphic designer in the Denver area and her talent is overwhelmingly creative from retro modern save the dates to elegant and traditional wedding invitations.  She is amazingly talented and we could not be more excited to have her as our “Guest Blogger” every week!  Without further ado-here is Tasha…..

Make sure your guests have an unforgettable time at your wedding…which includes a peaceful and quiet morning-after! Custom DO NOT DISTURB signs left in the hotel rooms of your guests, are a fun way to ensure they are not bothered the morning after the wedding. Just make sure they’re up in time for check-out!”

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you had a fabulous Valentines weekend!  We are starting this week off with a unique Etsy find for our “rustic” Brides out there!  If you want to “go green” for your next dinner party or event? Well, make it easy and memorable with these 12 wonderful and eco-friendly tree-branch place card holders and parchment card stock place cards made my ARemarkYouMade on Etsy. They would make a natural and rustic table display and would be great for going green, holiday dinner parties, bridal showers or luncheons for your bridesmaids, your wedding party table, or an outdoor wedding theme.

Each holder is cut from a reclaimed tree branch from a down tree in hopes of giving it new life. The wood center markings are unique to each piece and make an interesting pattern. A groove for the place card has been cut in the center. Hand write your guests’ names on each place card. Slide the place cards in the groove for an eye-catching display. Visit this Etsy Shop for more details! 

We are over the moon excited to announce the launch of our new website! After many (and we mean many) months of collaborating efforts with the 6 chicks and one dreamy CA designer…we finally have our perfectly finished website! And boy oh boy are we in L-O-V-E! Our new site consists of some of favorite eye candy photos, the adorable talented “dream team”, and much more!  We could go on and on about how excited we are but we know you are equally thrilled to see the finished product so please check it out here and let us know your thoughts! We look forward to hearing your feedback!  Happy TGIF everyone!

If you have been anxious to learn more about wedding planning, or if it is a career in which you are thinking about, we encourage you to take part in the Professional Wedding Planning course at the University of South Florida.  Shannon Wilson, who is the co founder/President of Table 6 Productions, and also was recently awarded the 2009 Event Planner of the Year Award by Event Solutions & Catersource, will be your professional instructor. 

This course will teach you the basics, plus extra tips to prepare you for a career as a wedding planner. Learn how to successfully work with vendors, suppliers and customers. This course is designed for those who aspire to be professional planners, and not for individuals planning their own wedding. You will learn how to manage budgets and timelines, hire the right people for the job, how to market your company and your services, and how to keep your creative edge. As a wedding planner, you also need to understand color, styles, proportion, visuals, and ambiance.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity as it is great for anyone in the industry!  Visit here for more information.
