Say "I Do" to Wedding Based Groupon

One of Two Be Wed's main objectives is to deliver a brides dream wedding without breaking the bank. We always tell our clients don't go in debt for your wedding. The last thing a bride wants is to look back on her wedding over a credit card bill. So were always on the look out for the best ways to save our clients money. Our latest obsession is the new wedding based groupon, I Do Daily Deal.

Saving money via sites such as Groupon or Living Social is a growing trend nationwide and is now taking storm to the wedding industry here in Houston with I Do Daily Deal. The wedding based groupon is the same concept but made specifically for Houston brides featuring unbelievable deals from local known and unknown vendors. Their featured deals offer 50% to 90% savings on stationary, catering, hair & makeup, photography, cinematography, wedding planning...you name it, they feature it! And because weddings involve so many different elements as well as difficult decisions, the website gives you not one but three days to consider the deal, research the vendor, and weigh your options before purchasing. If that's not enough, yours truly is one of the featured vendors and we offer a killer deal that you don't want to miss out on!

Keep in mind these daily deals aren't just limited to brides, share I Do Daily Deals with friends to use for parties and special events! Sign up now to start receiving your daily deals!

Indian Fusion Wedding

In the last few years, we've expanded our firm to include Two Be Red, a branch dedicated to South Asian Brides. South Asian weddings are unlike any American wedding you've ever been to! They can last up to a week long and include the most beautiful traditions. So imagine a wedding that has the elegant, modern style of an American wedding and the unique, beautiful traditions of an Indian wedding, and wahla! You have an Indian Fusion wedding! This past weekend, we had the pleasure of coordinating an Indian Fusion wedding that had a balanced mix of modern decor and Indian culture to create a fairytale wedding for any bride! (Forgive the picture quality, these are taken from our phones but professional photos will be up soon!)

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Keith Turner!

Something Old, Something Borrowed

Looking for that something old or something borrowed? Look no further. You can find both at Recollection Vintage Rentals, a new company offering a collection of vintage furniture, fixtures, accessories and antiques for weddings, photo shoots and special events!

Recollection was founded by Two Be Wed's own, Natalie Dawley and partners, Ashley Derrick and Patti DiPierri of Something Old, Something New. Together the ladies have combined their experience in the wedding industry and their love for antiques, to create the first antique rental company in Houston. Their collection consists of vintage couches and chairs, antique book collections, rustic vases, a wide variety of milk glass and much more! Aside from the one-of-a-kind traditional pieces, they offer modern servcies such as floral and decor styling. Modern furniture pieces such as ghost and chivari chairs are available as well.

The company is located among other wedding professionals such as Two Be Wed, Bella Bridesmaids and Spice Paper Design at 2611 Greenbriar St., Ste 1 Houston, TX 77098. Stop by to see their collection for yourself or view online!

What is a Day-of Coordinator?

We are back!! Big things have been happening here at Two Be Wed and we have recommitted ourselves to bringing the latest trends, vendors and advice to our blogging community, and fans!

One service we are highlighting this week is the role of the day-of coordinator. Many brides opt out of having a full-time wedding coordinator because they don't fully understand what a coordinator entails. So you ask, what does a day-of coordinator do??

At Two Be Wed, we believe that a day-of coordinator protects the investment of your time, money and more importantly, your peace of mind on your wedding day. We serve as the point of contact for vendors and your bridal party. We prompt the couple and attendants on where to be and when. We manage the styling of decor and the timing of the ceremony and reception. We are responsible for making sure the photographer doesn't miss any monumental moments or be there to repair a snag minutes away from your walk down the aisle.

The reality is the world doesn't stop when you're getting married and life happens. You don't want to be the one when life happens on YOUR day. But in case life does happen, a day-of coordinator gives you the peace of mind that your investment is protected on your day, all day.

For more information on Two Be Wed's day-of services, please contact houston@twobewed.net and reference this blog post!
