Welcome to the wedding blog of Blue Orchid Designs! My name is Liene (and in case you're wondering, it's pronounced Lynn) and I am the CEO of Blue Orchid Designs, a wedding planning firm with consultants in Arizona, New York, and Washington DC. I am also the founder of Splendid Communications, an online media consultancy serving the wedding and event industries. Some of my favorite things include candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach. Oops, sorry! Wrong intro.
In all seriousness, we're glad you've stopped by our blog! We love weddings. We love people. And we really love pretty things. So we dish about all of the above here at the Blue Orchid Designs blog. Our blogging style is direct, pragmatic and fun. If the dress isn't your most flattering style, we'll tell you. We'll also be the ones wearing waterproof mascara on your wedding day because chances are very high that we will mist up when you walk down that aisle. So, pour yourself your favorite beverage and come join us! We are just a little bit addicting, if we do say so ourselves.

2007 was an incredible year for Blue Orchid Designs and to say thank you, we are giving away a Wedding Day Coordination package to one lucky couple tying the knot in 2008! This is our biggest giveaway yet and I am SO excited about it!
So just what does Wedding Day Coordination include? At Blue Orchid Designs it is so much more than just showing up on the day of your wedding. About six weeks prior to your wedding we'll have a phone consultation with you where we discuss your timeline and vendor contracts. We'll make note of anything you may have overlooked and advise you on how to tie up any loose ends. We'll create a vendor production schedule and timelines for everyone in your wedding party. We'll contact all your vendors to confirm arrival times and contracted services. We'll direct the rehearsal so that everyone is on the same page and your wedding flows smoothly. We'll oversee set up of your ceremony and reception and most importantly, we'll serve as the point of contact between you and your vendors so that you can relax, primp and soak in your day! Every bride deserves to enjoy her wedding day and we allow you the peace of mind to do just that!
Because we specialize in destination weddings and love to travel, this giveaway is open to anyone in the United States, not just the cities we have associates in. All you have to do to enter is send us an email and, in 300 words or less, tell us why you should win! You can nominate yourself or a friend and with engagement season upon us, I'm sure we all know plenty of people who have received rings these past few weeks. What better engagement gift to give them than a stress-free wedding day?
I'll post the top three entries here and then, lovely readers, that is where you come in because you'll get to decide the winning couple! Winners will be announced on Valentine's Day 2008.
