May Jewelers Trunk Show – DC

November 8th, 2009

My husband and I purchased our wedding bands from May Jewelers, a small jewelery store in Tyson’s Corner (8032 Leesburg Pike). If you’re in the market for either your engagement ring or wedding band, they’ll be having a trunk show this coming weekend (Sat & Sun, Nov 14-15, 11am – 6pm). The store is Vietnamese owned, so they have lots of Asian style wedding jewelery, but also do custom designs. If you’re interested in attending, just give their store a call at 703-448-0866 or email Vincent. – And remember to mention Big Fat Cake!

Our guest blogger, Emilie from Pink Orchid Weddings, shared with us earlier this week about the difference between a wedding planner and wedding coordinator. To entice our readers in the Boston area, she is offering a 10% discount off the Blush Package, which is their main day-of coordination package.  This offer applies to new clients only.  Just mention “Big Fat Cake” when contacting her and the discount will be applied.

Here is an example of what a coordination package looks like at Pink Orchid Weddings:

  • Two (2) in-person meetings
    • First meeting: review all vendor contracts provided by client, go through set-up items, and produce a tentative timeline of the wedding day.
    • Second meeting: meet at venue (if available) to go through final details of the wedding day.
  • Unlimited contact via email from the time of contract.
  • Monthly email “check-ins” with the client to ensure that all planning is coming up to speed.
  • Produce and distribute a minute by minute timeline of the wedding day for vendors and bridal party.
  • Contact and coordination with all contracted vendors to ensure a flawless execution.
  • Assist with set-up of all wedding elements not handled by a specific vendor (e.g. seating cards, favors, guestbook, table numbers, etc.)
  • Direct ushers and helpers with seating and program distribution.
  • Production of a customized “day-of” preparation checklist.
  • Unlimited time on the day of the event, from set-up to tear down.
  • Onsite coordination and management of entire wedding day.
  • Handle final payments and gratuities to vendors.
  • Marriage License Information.

It’s a comprehensive list for a “day-of” coordinator, or DOC, and all very necessary in order to really get to know you, and everything about the wedding.  If an issue arises, your coordinator should be able to handle it confidently, and know what the correct solution should be.

If you are in the Boston or New England area and are looking for a wedding coordinator, just fill out the contact page for a complimentary consultation!

The photos below are from a beautiful wedding coordinated by Pink Orchid Weddings this year.  The ceremony was held on a steamship boat which cruised around Moosehead Lake for a couple of hours, while the reception was in a tent near the dock.
