| Etiquette Follow Up | As a follow up to the last article on etiquette, we had a few additional thoughts sent to us!
"If it's in the way and it's not yours, have the right person move it. I have a rule - I DO NOT move cakes! If it is crooked or needs to be spun around or moved, I contact the cake person (if still there) or someone from the venue to resolve it. Same holds true for others - I don't mess with the videographer or DJ's equipment. Any items there - equipment, decor, etc. is NOT mine. I do not mess with other people's tools, equipment or livelihood; I expect them to do the same. I have a "show & tell" lens. It used to be worth $1500. He meant well, but if a lens drops or a speaker falls or vase wobbles or cake slides, the results can be quite disastrous." -Anonymous
"It bothers me that when I am booked at a reception until 10:00 p.m. and the photographer and/or videographer confirms that they are leaving at 8:00 p.m., I adjust my schedule to fit in all the important reception items (cake, bouquet, garter, etc.). After I've adjusted my work to get it all in early, I still see them still shooting at 9:00 p.m. Now I have rushed the events of the evening for no reason. Know that your decisions affect others' work too." -Anonymous
"I really enjoyed the article on etiquette. I found it very helpful as I might be one of the ones on the edge of breaking the rules. Thanks for keeping us in check." -Anonymous
We appreciate your feedback! Here is the article if you missed it.

| 2011 Wedding Trends |
Perfect Wedding Guide's 'National Wedding Expert,' Susan Southerland, makes predictions for the
hot wedding trends of 2011.
<<<<Honeysuckle is Pantone's 2011 Color of the year, which means you should expect to see it everywhere from apparel, textiles, accessories and, of course, wedding decor and attire.
It's a gorgeous shade of pink, with darker hints of rose. Very feminine and appropriate for spring.
