I am so excited to be on the panel of experts for OneWed’s WeddingPreParty.com Launch Party on August 5th! Anyone that knows me knows that I love all things party and tech, so this is the perfect concoction of my favorites! It’s your wedding planning meets social networking—so yes, it even uses Facebook Connect! Now you can connect with your bridal party on so many levels- allow them to meet each other before the wedding, issue tasks and duties and so much more!

NBC Chicago showcased the WeddingPreParty and even Mashable did a great writeup. To quote Ben:

…That’s why OneWed’s approach intrigues us. The wedding planning website has launched Wedding Pre-Party, a new website that essentially creates your own private (and organized) version of Facebook () where friends and guests can share tips, add photos, and keep informed about all the fun (and terror) leading up to the big day.

We Likey: Canditto

Terrica Talk, Wedding Sugar

It is no secret that I am a geek. I love gadgets—I just can’t help it. When I was introduced to Canditto, I was super excited for brides who wanted to get the best, fun and candid moments from their wedding.

So what exactly is Canditto? Well it is no secret that with the influx of digital cameras (whether they are point and shoots or SLRs), your guests will be on the prowl getting shots of them with you, of you, or of other moments that you may not see through out the course of your day. While your fabulous wedding photographer (because I know you have chosen a fabulous wedding photographer after taking my impeccable advice) will document your day from their eyes, you also want to see what it is like from the eyes of family and friends. So now you can see the pictures of your college roommates reuniting and laughing over dinner or your grandmother lovingly holding a newborn family member moments before the prelude.

Simply plug Canditto into an outlet in a convenient area during your reception, and your guests can slip in their media cards from their digital cameras to download their images of your wedding for you to retrieve later. You will receive two thumb drives to download all of the images. What’s great is that Canditto will only download copies of your guests’ cards from the last 8 hours, to ensure that you get the pictures you want. So no more digital cameras on tables with the hopes of catching great pictures. Speaking of which…

Canditto is now having a fabulous program: if you bought disposable cameras (see these many reasons as to why disposable cameras will not do your wedding any justice) for your wedding to collect your guests’ pictures, Canditto will buy them back from you when you use their machine and apply it to your rental!

I Don’t Care What You Say….This Is All Types of Awesome

Terrica Talk

I saw this floating around on Facebook and wanted to share.

This is awesome—be sure to watch it the whole way through. I love it!

We Likey: Brandy J Bags

Terrica Talk

I am a huge fan and stalker of photographer Brandy J and the other half of her dynamic duo, husband Sticky Rammel. Not only are they beautiful and talented, they are also very wonderful people. When I stumbled across Brandy J’s collection of handbags and more, I was thisclose to needing to be resuscitated. I simply adore a good bag—bookbag, overnight bag, handbag, tea bag—whatever. And to see one of my favorite photographers delving into this market was fabulous for me!

Be sure to check out the upcoming catalog and become a fan and get more information on the Brandy J Collection fan page on Facebook. Also be sure to check out their their awesome photography work and follow along on their blog. I completely love this photo, because after silently (and not so silently) watching them from afar at Engage 09! Conference in Grand Cayman, this sums up their fabulous personalities:

All About Arden

Terrica Talk

I have been so enamored with Arden and her work since she sent me one of her sweet New Year’s cards and absolutely stellar marketing kits. We are both members of the Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Platinum List and had the opportunity to finally meet in person at Engage!09 Symposium in Grand Cayman and I couldn’t love her more! Arden is based out of Alabama, and her story is just amazing. I wanted to share some Arden’s gorgeous work with you luxelings, as she travels internationally for weddings and I know you will love her, too.

As you can see, Arden’s work is romantic, fresh, stylish and completely swoonworthy. Even the event planner and designer extraordinaire, Colin Cowie, thought so, because he listed her as one of his favorites on his website! Visit Arden’s website and blog where you can learn more about her and see more of her deliciously fabulous work.

Become a Savvy Host

Terrica Talk

Sometimes entertaining can be tough, stressful and nerve wracking. Enter: Savvy Host. In addition to swooning over their concepts (I love that their philosophy and approach is “simple”, that “sharing a meal can be one of life’s most enjoyable experiences”) and following Savvy Host on Twitter, I have enjoyed seeing what they are doing with the entertainment market.

You can learn the 8 entertaining essentials, which will take your stressful or drab dinner party to a thoughtful and effortlessly fabulous gathering of friends. These tips will work for everything that you might have planned (or want to plan): Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners with your new in-laws, a backyard barbecue for friends or a dinner and martini party for the girls. What’s even better is that savvy host team can help you with your entertaining needs by creating a customized entertaining plan, decor, and help for creating gorgeous tabletops. You can also schedule your own Savvy Host party with friends or attend one of the classes/events on specific entertaining topics.

Another great feature of Savvy Host is the Savvy Host Market. This is the Savvy Host store where you can purchase all of your entertaining needs like tabletops in a box, essentials for the grill, bar basics and so much more. You are sure to find something to help you plan your next engagement party, bridal shower or luncheon.

Happy entertaining!

We Likey: Oval Vodka

Terrica Talk

Oval Vodka calls itself “The Structured Vodka”, Oval creates many events and opportunities for connoisseurs to become acquainted with their brand and product with mixologists at social gatherings. Also at their website, you can learn both signature and classic recipes for your own gathering. I love the Red Carpet (imagine a red carpet leading up to your decked out bar cordoned off with velvet rope!), and the Monica Lewinsky, the Shogun, the Blue Danube, the Ugly Leprechaun and the Oval Office are all great mixes.
