In that time, I have learned so much and met so many great people. It is truly a time that I would not change for anything. About a year ago, as a planner, I did the unthinkable. On a whim, I decided to pursue a personal opportunity and move to Colorado at the end of 2011. While it has taken a year to get my business affairs in order and get my last clients married, I am finally ready to spread my wings and leave New Jersey.<br /><br />The first thing people ask when I tell them about my cross-country move is, "What is going to happen to your business?" For right now, the best answer I can give is that I am hitting the Pause Button. I can guarantee that this isn't the end. We are no longer accepting brides in New Jersey, but this may change in the future. For right now, I am going to focus my full time and energy on my new life in Colorado. For the first time, I'm planning nothing and letting life lead the way.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >In the meantime, keep following me on twitter - same account, new handle: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/staceykall">@staceykall</a>.

Lately, that has meant in the mornings, in the evenings, and even in the middle of the night when I often get up and respond to emails (NOT a healthy habit!). In order to be a better wedding planner, I need to create a little bit of balance while still being available to my clients when needed. I have come up with brand new office hours. Since some clients are only available in the mornings or at night, I have created a schedule to please everyone! <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Starting September 7th, here is when you can reach me:</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Monday: 4pm to 10pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Tuesday: 4pm to 10pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wednesday: 9am to 3pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thursday: 4pm to 10pm</div><div style="text-align: center;">Friday: 9am to 3pm</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*Saturday & Sunday are by appointment only based on our wedding schedule. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>During the times above, you'll be able to call us, email us, or schedule meetings with us!

Overlooking the gorgeous water in Bora Bora, Roberto proposed to Ali. They have plans to wed next spring and I have already planned out the details for them!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBUAXhVEpWCZjYwRle0Nv06TYG3nAU2tGy2o_gFNfybXP5KZrVA4yF88ecIIXgu2JxlFWzT3ZepZuxJJA2r2eGDbQyN1FdIFYgRTlRxoaUiwwft5K-tJNc3WB3EKPMqxCN0JG1HnkfbBb/s1600/Ali+%26+Roberto+Wedding.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBUAXhVEpWCZjYwRle0Nv06TYG3nAU2tGy2o_gFNfybXP5KZrVA4yF88ecIIXgu2JxlFWzT3ZepZuxJJA2r2eGDbQyN1FdIFYgRTlRxoaUiwwft5K-tJNc3WB3EKPMqxCN0JG1HnkfbBb/s400/Ali+%26+Roberto+Wedding.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501225082171865026" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think that Ali & Roberto should have a tropical wedding, possibly right back where they solidified their love for each other in Bora Bora. The wedding will be full of vibrant colors to match Ali's sunny personality. The wedding details will be tropical inspired using pinks, oranges, yellows and greens. The flowers will be straight from the tropics: hyacinths, orchids, and plumeria. Given Ali's personality and dress choices on the show, I think she'd look beautiful in Coco by Amsale. It's the perfect mix of fun and tradition in a casually elegant way. Her hair should be loosely curled with a tropical flower to complete the look. Most importantly, Ali & Roberto would be surrounded by their friends family enjoying great food, drinks and of course........dancing the salsa!<br /><br />What details would you choose for Ali & Roberto?<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Photo Credit:<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-4208-Providence-Food-Examiner%7Ey2009m7d4-Watermelon-cocktail-recipe-with-Bombay-Sapphire-Gin">Tropical Drink</a> ~ <a href="http://www.weddingandcakes.com/wedding-cakes-with-ribbon-on-them/">Wedding Cake</a> ~ <a href="http://www.mypersonalartist.com/product/view/watercolor-hibiscus-wedding-invitations.html">Watercolor Hibiscus Wedding Invitations by My Personal Artist</a><br /><a href="1.%09http://www.alohaislandweddings.com/uploaded_images/shimmering-pink-wedding-setup-for-julia-and-james-hawaii-wedding-%287%29-716444.jpg">Tropical Ceremony</a> ~ <a href="http://amsale.com/bridal/amsalecollection/080707/coco.shtml">Coco by Amsale Wedding Gown</a> ~ <a href="http://www.alohaislandweddings.com/blogs/2008_06_01_archive.html">Plumeria Bouquet</a><br /><a href="1.%09http://www.lisasbargains.co.uk/Juicy%20Shoes.htm">Juicy Couture Flip Flops </a>~ <a href="http://magni7icent.net/wedding-magazines/181-summer-wedding-hairstyles.html">Hairstyle</a> ~ <a href="http://weddings.theknot.com/Real-Weddings/1691/detailview.aspx?id=1691&type=3&wedding+details=Reception+Decor%2cReception&colors=Pink&pageIndex=6">Reception Centerpieces</a></span><br /></div>As You Wishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07543449133467664588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771297422770213745.post-24244090345752546882010-08-02T12:48:00.003-04:002010-08-02T12:53:15.647-04:00Inspire Me Monday<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0q8cxGzGQ-1VnNeCA5bzDfdLveT1xbi_Uss91aZed6nu_ey4HD8pQZLaPl0g2P6lY9CeznTAJZ_TjF5QJGoIvZK0HR_Us_vF1o3HkWgm2wPY2d65E1msK21CsctEnX89aYSQ8wGO4bhNd/s1600/Wedding+Signature+Drinks.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0q8cxGzGQ-1VnNeCA5bzDfdLveT1xbi_Uss91aZed6nu_ey4HD8pQZLaPl0g2P6lY9CeznTAJZ_TjF5QJGoIvZK0HR_Us_vF1o3HkWgm2wPY2d65E1msK21CsctEnX89aYSQ8wGO4bhNd/s400/Wedding+Signature+Drinks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500855604784150082" border="0" /></a>Signature drinks are such a fun way to spice up your cocktail hour and introduce guests to your event.

I am having a hard time coordination schedules. Is it important to have all of my bridal party with me when I go dress shopping for my dress and their bridesmaid dresses?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Answer: </span>Having a group of your nearest and dearest friends and family members seems like the ideal way to pick out dresses. In reality, it can be a huge stress. With so many people, it's unlikely you will easily find a date when everyone can attend. More importantly, when you have too many people you have too many opinions. Oftentimes you'll end up going with what the group thinks you should buy over what you really want. Although their opinions are valuable, it is your wedding. Bring your mom, Maid of Honor, or close friend. Narrow it down to a few choices and then bring the other girls in for the final decision.As You Wishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07543449133467664588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771297422770213745.post-58539137395276550412010-07-21T09:00:00.002-04:002010-07-23T22:54:41.515-04:00Destination Wedding Wednesday<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZok5w-ww9XX-gj6p8mfEaZMYW5UQjt6dKiDzAVfNXYwOhZuDzxKZzU8EGk63ahiHqdadOUwEFz2EfDsfLN1twpM6q9_xSWTaisc-cG_7CNizRdkncgJJ-Jh-wwBrW5vQHnC53F3kaSHGo/s1600/turks+and+caicos+destination+wedding.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZok5w-ww9XX-gj6p8mfEaZMYW5UQjt6dKiDzAVfNXYwOhZuDzxKZzU8EGk63ahiHqdadOUwEFz2EfDsfLN1twpM6q9_xSWTaisc-cG_7CNizRdkncgJJ-Jh-wwBrW5vQHnC53F3kaSHGo/s400/turks+and+caicos+destination+wedding.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496160703239193586" border="0" /></a>Turks & Caicos<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Photo Credit: <a href="http://www.brilliant.tc/2010/07/allison-phils-ocean-club-wedding/">B Brilliant by Tropical Imaging</a></span><br /></div>As You Wishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07543449133467664588noreply@blogger.com0
