We Live, We Love, We Woo, and We Wed!!!

As 2009 makes way for 2010...here is to all the joyful memories it is leaving behind!

I just wanted to say thank you to all the brides and grooms that shared their wedding pictures with me in 2009. Even though I just shared a few, all of them were unique, gorgeous and full of love!

Cheers to a brand New Year!

The moment you have been waiting for...

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible!”* Not only are we in the holiday season but we are entering what I call “My Gift Better be a Diamond Season!” Both of your families are present and the moment couldn’t be more perfect…to turn around and see the man you love on one knee with a diamond ring in his hand just waiting for you to say “yes”. This is the second most important day in every girl’s life. (Falling second to your wedding day!) How the man you love asked you to spend the rest of your lives together. This moment is just the beginning of the excitement that follows you to The Rosewood and up to your wedding day. This is why I love my job! Not only do I get to be a part of the biggest day of so many people’s lives but also I get to hear every detail of how he asked you to be his wife and see all the sparkling diamond rings! The diamond rings…each and every one of them is unique and gorgeous! Just from the first time meeting the newlyweds and having them share these special moments with me creates an amazing bond and I’m thrilled to start planning their special day! I can’t wait to hear all details from when you said “yes!” and to see your ring!

Thank you to all my newlyweds for allowing me to be a part of their wedding day! And congratulations to all the lucky ladies whose gift was a diamond this holiday season! I look forward to meeting you!

Tis the Season to be Married...

Hello, my name is Julie and I am also a Wedding Event Specialist for The Rosewood. This weekend I experienced my first winter wonderland wedding. Christmas was in the air, the foyer and ballroom were all spruced up and our newlyweds were married…on site! I knew Mr. and Mrs. Kciuk really thought of every detail, when I saw individual packages of tissues on each chair, in the ceremony room, saying Joyful Tears. Lisa and Joe (our bride and groom) also surprised their guests’ with candy cane escort cards that led them to our Rose Ballroom; where they found the most adorable Christmas ball ornaments that held there place cards. But this was only the beginning of their Christmas story. Their florist, Claus (Yes! That really is the florist’s name!), decked the head table with mini Christmas trees, bright red poinsettias and a holiday wreath. When I walked into the Rose ballroom all that glittered was Lisa’s gorgeous ring and the snow topped Cake Boss cake! (See the picture below!) This warm holiday romance was just what I needed to welcome the most wonderful time of the year!

Our newlyweds sharing a special moment!

Hello, and Welcome to The Rosewood’s Blog…a new addition to our website. My name is Danielle and I am one of the Rosewood’s Wedding Event Specialists. We are really excited about the upcoming holidays. Even if you are not ready for the holiday season, when you walk into our building you will be. Patty, our Maitre'd, has been decorating our foyer with the most elegant Christmas tree of Burgundy and Gold ribbon. This weekend we are looking forward to our very first Winter Wonderland Wedding. Lisa and Joe will be getting married on Sunday in our beautiful indoor Garden Room. They came to visit today and practiced their first ballroom dance. A lot of our couples like to practice and I am honored they let me watch. I can’t wait to tell you all about their reception next week. Oops, gotta go…
phones are ringing and Christmas parties are starting. This is such a fun time of year! Danielle
