Cupertino, CA — (SBWIRE) — 03/27/2013 — Green Floral Crafts has announced the start of a promotion to attract event planners, wedding planners, decorators and design companies.
Green Floral Crafts, a purveyor of home décor accents made from earth-friendly, sustainable, and renewable resources, previously targeted retail consumers, but is now gearing up to woo a professional clientele that they hope will return for long term, repeat business. For a limited time, the company is offering free gifts and bonus quantities to professionals in the trade (event planners, wedding planners, designers and decorators) who make a purchase from now until May 31st and sign up for their monthly newsletter.
The company is now offering enticing discounts for wholesale purchases, plus free gifts with each purchase. Bulk pricing is now available for the majority of over 200 natural botanicals which include popular sellers such as natural Birch branches (in white, red, gold, silver, and more finishes), Curly willow and red Dogwood. Quantity discounts are also now available on the harder to find botanicals such as pussy willow branches, giant fantail willow, and snow dust bloom.
Green Floral Crafts also offers hard to find sizes such as extra tall Birch branches up to 6 feet tall, curly willow and fantail willow up to 7 feet tall, and other extra tall dried branches. These botanicals make stunning branch centerpieces for weddings, corporate events, and other gala celebrations.

This may sound ridiculous to some, but partying isn’t easy, especially for a host or hostess. Putting on a party is a lot to take on, and it’s an even bigger task if you have a tremendous guest list. Add on a few celebrities, a giant company, or a coming together of two enormous families and you can have a giant headache on your hands.
But there are some people who deal with partying brilliantly — event planners. These professionals are party curators, they’re fierce, and they’re a calm presence when they need to be. They get the job done and successfully set the scene, one cocktail, hors d’oeuvre, or bash at a time.
When faced with planning a party, whether it’s a wedding, a corporate event, a charity gala, or an annual party, the hardest part is realizing when you need help. Creating a fabulous themed soirée within a particular budget is no easy feat, which is why you should know where to look for some assistance.
Although many big-name event planners are based in big cities like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami, there are stellar planners from coast to coast, and we would know — we did the leg work.
We’ve looked to the some of the most popular wedding and event blogs around town (100 Layer Cake, Style Me Pretty, Lover.ly, Rue, Ruffled, and more) and searched city by city to see who’s making heads turn with their professional flair and knack for soirée success.
From Alabama’s Christopher Confero Design to Wyoming’s Bella Design and Planning — and every state in between — we’ve found the best of the best.

As Big City Bride begins to celebrate their ten year anniversary of event planning in Chicago, we decided it was time to do something special! The event planners of Big City Bride got together with some wonderful friends of ours and had fun with a photoshoot for our new ad, in magazines now!
After planning events for brides and grooms all year long we thought it was time to slow down, set ourselves a fancy table, and raise a glass to the many blessings we have to be thankful for. With ten years of wonderful clients, a network of the most fabulous and talented Chicago wedding vendors, and an office full of five friends … we have so much to celebrate!
You can see this ad in the newly released issue of Chicago Social Brides magazine. As with every Chicago wedding, it took a dream team to make this photoshoot happen. Robyn Rachel Photography shared her incredible Chicago wedding photography skills to make us look this good in her studio. Juli Valdez did a little magic on our faces with her incredible makeup abilities. Tablescapes provided us with our pick of rentals for a beautiful place setting and BBJ Linen allowed us to customize our own luscious linen. A Stem Above, Chicago wedding florist, even let us roam her studio and borrow a few hydrangeas.
We’ll share photos of the making of the ad soon! Cheers!

MYRTLE BEACH –
Summer starts a season of weddings for event planners Kelly Catron and Debbie Benson.
They say any bride can plan a wedding on a budget.
When it comes to table decoration, the planners suggest a candy and dessert table.
“It’s one of the first things that, when guests come into a room, they always seem to head right to it,” said Catron.
Catron and Benson fill jars with small candies. Then, they tie ribbons around the jars with a hand-made card attached.
“It can be beautiful, but guests just love to take home the candy,” Catron said.
Flowers can also decorate a table without breaking the bank.
“We go to Habitat [For Humanity] a lot. We’re real big on recycling,” said Benson. “We like to pick up vases that people have turned in for $.50.”
Benson says brides can purchase the flowers, but they can also grow their own.
“We’ll go out in the yard and cut whatever we can find,” said Benson.
Both wedding planners say that, overall, a color scheme is a key part in making decorations stand out.
“Little pops of color … that will draw your eyes to the table,” Benson said.
Benson and Catron own GiGi Noelle Events inMyrtle Beach. They plan weddings, as well as other events. For more information, visit their website, http://www.giginoelleeventplanner.com.

Sure there are services to sell tickets to arenas and event spaces (not to mention parties and the like) but thus far there hasn’t been a good way to allow customers to pick their seats. TicketLeap, a ticketing website, has solved that problem.
Wedding planners don’t get too excited yet: the system is mostly for folks who run bigger event spaces like halls and arenas. You can lay out your space using TicketLeap’s browser-based tools and add various features like bathrooms, Wi-Fi points, and handicapped access spots.
I’ve seen a few startups in this space, including one promising one that actually allows you to create seating charts for parties and smaller events, but this is an interesting start, especially in the stagnant world of event ticketing.
Seats can be color-coded according to price and all layouts are stored in the cloud for future use. Definitely handy for organizing the spectators at your next game at the old ōllamaliztli court.
