Sneak Preview

Viola of Chewing the Cud just sent me a few photos of the paper goods that she is working on for the amazing tablescapes in the decor room. I'm so excited to post them here, as a sneak preview....wait until you see EVERYTHING on the 8th! It's going to blow you away.

Some tools Viola has been playing with to create the paper goods:

wax seals, aged papers, gold textures, tassels etc.

She is a fan of using the ordinary objects in unordinary ways!

TWU Preview: Design Case Study

TWU's design team consists of Nancy Liu Chin, Gloria Wong Tritasavit, John Woods, and Viola Sutante. Together, these four remarkably creative and talented professionals will be presenting to TWU students a 'case study' of how to thread a concept throughout your entire wedding. Their presentation promises to be incredibly interesting and fun, and students will learn great tips for their own weddings! As a sneak preview, here is their 'Mood Board' for their case study, called 'Love Letters'!

Featuring: Cynthia Glinka of On the Dance Floor

I first met Cynthia Glinka about 5 years ago, at an industry networking event. I still remember quite vividly her amazing energy, and the spark in her eyes when she described herself as a dancer. Thereafter, I began to send her my clients that needed dance lessons. As I saw the way she transformed my clients' confidence level on the dance floor, I was in awe. Even the shyest of the grooms who swore they had two left feet could be seen gracefully spinning his beautiful bride on the dance floor after just ONE lesson with Cynthia! It was magic!

Shortly after getting the fabulous feedback from my clients, I now encourage ALL my clients to do dance lessons with Cynthia. Even if they do not feel like they need it, it's a really fun part of the wedding planning process. One of my brides last year literally said she laughed so hard at the very first lesson that her stomach hurted for the rest of the night. She scheduled two more lessons with Cynthia after that, just to have fun!

More on Cynthia:

Your first dance can either be...

A honeymoon or a nightmare:

Brides and grooms like you

want their first steps in life together to be perfect.

Why not start with your first dance at your wedding?

Take ONE session and I guarantee you'll be dancing down the aisle.
That's right, ONE session!

If you can walk, you can dance! We’re not going for a trophy here folks, says Cynthia.

Spin, dip and dance to the bedroom . . .

I've transformed countless wedding couples into confident,
elegant dancers for their ‘first dance’ and the rest of their lives.

You think the wedding day will be romantic? Wait until you start dancing!

With Glinka's tips and tricks,
you'll be dancing for a lifetime.

Come meet Cynthia and see her in action at The Wedding University. She'll be spinning couples down the aisle and offering you valuable tips for your first dance!

Jump for Joy!

I found this picture online and thought it was the perfect picture to show how excited TWU students will be after they finish a fun and inspiring day with us and realize that they will get to take home a faaaabulous gift bag full of goodies! What kind of goodies? Well, let's just say that some of the very top professionals are offering discounts for their services, ONLY for this event. It's unheard of, but that's right.....so here's another incentive to join us on February 8, 2009!

Okay, one more 'secret'. Students will also get to take home a copy of the NEWEST issue of the Here Comes the Guide book (yes, the ultra thick one), and several other popular wedding magazines!

I can't help myself....there's more! TWU students can get special room rates if they'd like to stay overnight at the Four Seasons that weekend, AND the hotel's restaurant Quattro is offering a 15% discount for those that would like to stay for dinner. Just let us know when you return your registration form and we can make those arrangements for you!

Yippppeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
