I'm thrilled to announce that Illuminate: the Blog has received a much needed makeover. For all the latest, please visit www.illuminatetheblog.com.

Saving Time as a Wedding Pro: Google Alerts

Part deux of my video series on saving time as a wedding pro begins.. now. Alas, the title still bores me to tears but, like this blog, it's a work in progress.

As you may have seen from my recent post, the one question I seem to get all the time is, "how do you fit everything into one day?" Admittedly, I have my Type A personality to thank in part but there are a wealth of tips and tricks that keep me on task and making the most use of my time.

Today, I'm chatting a bit about Google Alerts, a wonderful and free advice that assists you with tracking mentions of just about anything- from your company, your own name, competitors and colleagues.

Have any tips that keep you on track throughout the day? Feel free to share in the comments below.

Enjoy!

Illuminate: the Recap

What a whirlwind week here in OFD-land. Another successful Illuminate under our belt, a quick dip of the toe back into the wedding world to assist with a friend's Big Day today, and a 4:30am wake up call tomorrow to get myself to the airport for Wedding MBA.

Before I dash, I just had to share some of the great moments captured by Photography by Julie Renee this past Wednesday at Illuminate.

Many thanks again to Maymont for hosting us, as well as IK Catering for serving as our breakfast sponsor. As always, Petites Bouchees was a huge hit with her Dessert Table, knocking the socks off of everyone in the room. Thanks for being our Sweets Sponsor Veronica!

Also- a big thanks to our amazing speakers- Elizabeth Howard with The Cordial Cricket, Brent Petersen of Interview Angel and Shanelle Calvin of Shanelle Calvin Consulting.

Keep your eyes peeled for a Save the Date notice as we firm up plans for Illuminate: the Workshop next Spring in Richmond.

Enjoy!
