Hi Friends, we had a wonderful wedding Friday night and I wanted to share a cute tip with you. I know you have seen the wagon idea a 100 times but….the couple has a 6 month old baby and this is how we got him down the aisle, in the wagon. But what I thought you all might want to know, if you are using a wagon (or some form of transportation for the little ones) is the great way to get the tiny ones to sit up comfortably..Marks Garden places a baby seat inside with the straps that secures them in.

The more secure they feel the better the chance of no crying and a successful picture!

Look how cute this wagon is! Elegant, not too blinged out…I love the finishing bow touch and especially the back of the wagon. As his cousin pulled, the little baby who rode the wagon came down  the aisle laughing! Oh sometimes I wish I was back sitting in a wagon being pulled around

Hi! Had a meeting last week with a Bride. We were talking about her Wedding Gown (sounds amazing!) and she said “I’m going to get a second dress to trash”

I said, “Excuse me?” Well she went on to explain to me that she was going to David’s Bridal to buy a simple inexpensive dress so she can jump in the pool with her second wedding gown  for a great picture. She continued to say that her fiance will jump in with her in his suit!

I love that….I haven’t had a bride yet that has done that…do you think after they jump I should follow them in?

Found some pictures on Google of the JUMP…

Oh by the way and I can’t believe I’m doing this but I am now twittering ….yes another one has taken flight @Mindyweiss.

Follow me around to some of my fun jobs and my daily, crazy world….xox Mindy

Hi, I was with a bride the other day and she was trying out different nail polish for her hands and feet to wear at her wedding. It’s funny because I haven’t had a bride who was so concerned with the color. So I asked questions to my nail expert bride on what she has found…

She loves these 2 brands ESSIE and OPI

She says the texture is smooth, not too thick and drys without streaks.

She also comments that she thinks both companies have excellent base and top coat

and super dry top coat. One great suggestion, try these products on your nails, like you would try new make-up and facial products before the wedding. The nail hardening products are very different than base and top coat. They actually burn my nails after applying so check that out too. It is not a great idea to have your nails and toes done the day of the wedding….some of the great pictures involves close-up of your hands and lately toes too!

Here are some suggested colorsFIJI (MY FAV)

I PINK I LOVE YOU

NO ROOM FOR THE BLUES

GREAT FOR YOUR TOES… (NOT YOUR FINGERS) …..FOR SOMETHING BLUE

Now of course you do not have to wear PINK these are just some favorites of my Bride.

French white tip manicures are popular …but this is another way to personalize your style if you want something different go for it but just remember in 20 years your kids may ask why you had rhinestones on your nails? xoxox Mindy

Hi, as most of you know my neice Syd is getting married in September. Last Saturday my sisters friends gave Syd a beautiful shower. I took some pictures to share with you.

It took place in a beautiful backyard that was filled with roses.

All the flowers they used for the centerpieces were from the garden

My best friend Janis was so excited to use the Mindy Weiss frosted glasses for Inviting Company….not because they are part of my collection but they really looked so cute!

On the invitation they requested that all the gifts be wrapped in Pink…all the gifts looked

so beautiful    

Syd made a wonderful welcome and thank you speech good to know she is

Something we all had to laugh about right in the middle of present opening. The house behind us began cutting branches with a chain saw. This is something to think about when planning a party outside…drop your neighbor a nice note and ask if it would please be ok to refrain from gardening for the extent of the party….our caterers walked around the block and asked them to stop the trimming and we went back to present opening in no time.

So happy for Syd and Josh what a beautiful day
