No, I’m not getting married (don’t worry) but I do have exciting news to share! Back in December, I had written about my wedding experience assisting Nicole from Down the Aisle on a gorgeous wedding back in September. I had such a great time that I reached out to Nicole last month about the possibility of working together again for this upcoming season. One thing led to another and I’m now the new Associate Wedding Coordinator at Down the Aisle!
Ever have that head slapping moment? As I’m getting more and more experienced in events, I’ve been finding myself doing that more and more. So, to save you the time (and headache), I’ve made a list of things I wish I knew or advice I wish was given to me at the beginning of my career. While the majority of the list is related to events, a lot of it is applicable to many industries and careers.
The Vancouver Club hosted its first annual bridal showcase, Engage, this past Sunday. The luxurious club was filled with brides-to-be, nervous mothers and overwhelmed grooms-to-be. The highlight of the showcase (at least for me) was the bridal fashion show produced by Blush Bridal and Blitz Media. Besides being my very 1st event since I joined the Blitz team, I was also uber excited to be thisclose to gorgeous Vera Wang dresses.
I recently read this great article from Sue Pelletier (@spelletier) where she wrote about her 10 new year’s resolutions for events and meetings. She lists such great things that I’ve been inspired to create my own list of resolutions. So, without further ado, here are my 2012 new year’s events resolutions…
I can’t believe another year has already gone by. I say it all the time but it is absolutely crazy how fast time flies. I mean, this time last year, I was in the middle of a 4 day stay in a hospital in Bali getting treated for dengue fever. And this year, I’m back in Vancouver with a new job in an industry I really care about.
Here are some highs (and lows) of my 2011:
