I'll admit, it's been a while since my last blog-post entry! In May, I had my very first Fitness Competition, I moved on June 1st and then once summer began I have been crazy busy with wedding orders and have not been able to catch up. Now summer is coming to an end and I am already "body-deep" in Fall Wedding orders. September is here and I thought I was prepared for the fall season, but now I've realized there is simply no clear way to truly "prepare" for the work that needs to be done.

I am painting about 100 glasses a week which pans out to be at least 20 glasses a day. Lately, the 20 glasses I paint each day turns out to be just ONE order for a Bride and Groom and their entire Bridal Party!

Fizzy Cocktails, Hot Pink, and a LAS VEGAS Wedding! - Sale Ends 12/15/10

I love the days when I receive a thank you e-mail from one of my brides. It means so much to me when they take the time to let me know how happy they were with their custom glassware and how much the bridal party loved them! The best kind of thank you is when I receive photos of their special day with the glassware in action taken from their wedding photographer.

Last month one of my favorite buyers, Melissa, sent me an e-mail with beautiful photos and a link to her photographer's blog Las Vegas Wedding Photography - John and Melissa.

Melissa wrote, "I wanted to thank you again for our awesome wedding glasses! They were a HUGE hit with everyone! 

"I will continue passing the word about your amazing glasses to everyone I can!  Our entire wedding party truly loved them and we all used them all night at the reception!"  

I have never seen pictures of the bridal party seeing their glasses for the first time. It is such a cool way to connect with the bride and groom's friends and family because of the time I spent looking at their photo and creating their cartoon portrait. The photographer truly captured the Fizzy experience at this wedding celebration. The pictures show them enjoying their cocktails while smiling and laughing together. THIS is what my work is ALL ABOUT!

In the photographer's words, "John and Melissa were wed at the Valley of the Falls outdoor chapel at Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas strip and the view was simply STUNNING."

Who doesn't love a fabulous wedding in Vegas? The wedding colors were black and hot pink with swirl/paisley accents. The ladies wore black dresses with hot pink sashes and the men wore stylish black and hot pink paisley ties. The couple also chose to mix water goblets for the women and beer pilsners or lowball glasses for the men.

I was so jealous when I packed up this order because the shipment was going straight to Las Vegas. I wanted to pack myself in the box so I could visit the Vegas strip again and lay out by the pool with a drink! I made sure to deliver the package directly to the hotel where the bride and groom were staying so they wouldn't have to worry about the fragile pieces during their travels.

Thanks again John, Melissa and D. Tyler for helping me share this Fizzy wedding experience!

Wedding Day Prep: Hair, Makeup, Robes and don’t forget the CHAMPAGNE!

Being a bridesmaid comes with lots of fun pre-wedding activities: the showers, the bachelorette party, the wedding rehearsal. But, one of the most fun and memorable parts of being a bridesmaid is right before the wedding when all the bridesmaids get together with the bride for some wedding beautification!

This wedding-prep time is a scene usually consisting of clouds of hairspray, curling irons and nail polish, as well as laughter, fun, tears, and pre-wedding excitement!

A recent Fizzy Bride got ready for her big day with her bridesmaids while adding a little champagne and the FizzyArtist's champagne glasses for each girl!

"The girls had a great time!" The bride said that each one “loved their glasses!!” According to the bride, the glasses were a “nice surprise and such a unique gift!” The matching robes and custom glasses made for some great photo opps!

The bride also said that her bridesmaids, “sipped champagne while having makeup applied and hair styled. They then carried them all evening during the reception. What a special keepsake!”
