Something Old, Something New
With all the hustle and bustle of the day and preparing for the weekend, Stephanie, my new, old assistant (she's back for the summer) and I switched car keys. When I arrived at the office to meet with my client, I realized I didn't have the office key. Since I had my laptop, cell phone, pen and paper, I immediately set up the "office" in the vehicle for a temporary period (whew! 15 minutes not wasted!!) and made/returned some calls while I was waiting for my client.
When the client arrived with her cute little 6 year old girl, I told her my snafu and suggested we go to the park to review the final details of the decor for her wedding reception. It was great idea! We watched her little girl play and have so much fun jumping, swinging, sliding in the jungle gym while we finalized the details.
One of the last comments the bride made was about this neat idea given to her for the toss bouquet. It was going to be a candy sucker bouquet for the children. I have seen this type of bouquet and it was "Something Old" to me, but it was a joy to see her eyes light up, the smile on her face and to hear the excitement in her voice describing it to me. It didn't matter how many times I have seen it done, this was "Something New" to her. There are many ways and ideas to celebrate traditions associated with a wedding, don't be afraid to do something you like!

Nice to see a coord. who understands that something old will invariably be something new to someone. That's not to say that there aren't some things that are just plain played out, but what's more important...doing what you love or doing what is HOTTHISSECOND?
