My Wedding Concierge

For the "Newly Engaged" or the "Not so Newly Engaged"...If your looking for some serious help planning one of the most special days of your life....

This little company featured on the Sage Wedding Pros website this morning is very impressive: My Wedding Concierge. This company offers a wedding

planning tool for engaged couples. What makes this site so different? It gives couples the opportunity to sort and organize all of their favorite wedding vendors, design ideas, and wedding blogs. They also have a super-snazzy iPhone app. Wall Street Journal did a story this week on the best wedding planning apps out there and praised this app for the ability to filter through the massive amounts of information on wedding blogs. And, if you tweet with co-owner Phyllis Cheung you already know that she is kind and good-hearted, always “paying it forward” with tweets.

Winter Rocky Mountain Bridal Show 2011

This weekend we

(Tessa and I) went to Denver

for some serious "wedding idea shopping".

We stopped at Lagrues on Broadway....even after 35 years it is still an amazing place to find beautiful silks, ribbons, tapastries, containers...you name it.

Then of course we hit Hobby Lobby and Micheals.

The real fun began Sunday morning when we stopped by the

Colorado Convention Center for the 2011 Rocky Mountain Bridal Show.

First time I had ever been to a bridal show, believe it or not. It is very much like a jewelry show, so many vendors, all with beautiful product and amazing ideas. We left with our bags full of goodies, and our heads swimming with 1000 new ideas.

I'll keep you posted on new devopments....
