Visit all of their 'Services' pages on their website to see AMAZING before and after photos!! As a self-proclaimed socialite, I'm always looking to find what's going on around town. Some of my regular go-to places to research events are newspaper event calendars, HeidiTown.com, EL Events, city websites, Facebook, Z Events, Visit Fort Collins, and more! My Big Day specializes in creative events. But when we're not planning events, we're attending them! The summer is heating up, and there is so much to do! Here are a couple noteworthy happenings: ...and so much more! Have a great weekend! You can smell that Spring is in the air... and businesses sure know it! There is so much to do in Northern Colorado in May and June. Here are a couple things My Big Day might be attending in the next two weeks....
Thirty-One launched it's new Spring Catalog for 2013 on January 1st. If you haven't yet received a catalog, check out the photos just posted HERE, and start shopping HERE! If you are anything like me, you enjoy finding unique gifts for loved ones that say, "I put some thought into this purchase." I start my holiday shopping FAR in advance. With constant reminders about good deals, I find myself purchasing thoughtfully as far as 6 months out. Groupon, Living Social, Deal Chicken, Seize the Deal... they all have something of value to offer. You just have to do your research. I have purchased facials, dinner certificates, headphones, hot rollers, car detailing, earrings, photography packages and more! I willingly sign up for the alerts, and first thing in the morning I have a handful of deals to rifle through. For those who appreciate high fashion at discount prices, you are most likely already aware of the designer sale alerts you can register for. Ideeli, Gilt, HauteLook, and MyHabit, are just a few to name. Thanks to the daily alerts I receive from these sites, my mom and sister have received some fabulous designer clothing and jewelry. The stockings will be filled with more this year! Santa is very good to my family and friends! Now that we are in full-swing of the holiday season, the craft shows are popping up left and right! For TRULY unique gifts, you can always go for handmade goodies from local artisans and crafters. With so many craft shows going on, I can only list a few, but here you go: 4 upcoming craft fairs you won't want to miss: Northglenn ELKS Holiday Craft Fair - Awesome crafters & vendors for your shopping pleasure!

Happy Shopping! One of my clients invited me to her bridal shower and I thought long and hard about what to give her as a gift. Of course, you should ALWAYS give something off of the registry, but a personal gift is always nice too. Then I thought back to a gift that I was given when I got married, and just knew I should pass on the wisdom from my dear friend. My girlfriend, Monica, is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in St. Louis, MO. She happens to swear by a particular book, and has suggested it to clients, and friends. It's called, "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work." It's by John M. Gottman. The book is helpful to those both in a relationship trying to correct things, and to those soon to be married, or just married. Throughout the relationship industry, this book comes highly recommended... therapists, counselors, and Oprah all agree, it's a must have reference book. Then I got thinking about books in general and what great gifts they can make. The best books I have ever read have all been given to me, or were 'on loan.' I wondered out to my favorite bookstore, Anthology Book Co. in downtown Loveland, CO to search for this book, and they had a couple copies--- both new, and used! (Don't you just love independent, locally owned book stores!) I can't help but get lost in all the possibilities of books I could read to better myself, learn more, or get lost in! What better gift to give and to pass on than a book purchased with love?!? I am proud to be a participating vendor in this AMAZING sale! Cherry Lime Boutique in Loveland, CO has figured out how to make a community boutique simply thrive! They rented a space in a building with tons of drive-by traffic, so their visibility is great, but historically the businesses in this building have struggled. Somehow Alyssa and Michelle (store owners) have come up with an amazing concept, and have given new life to not only the building they rent from, but to the community in general. No matter what your crafting skill, Cherry Lime Boutique will sell it. No more buying my birthday and holiday gifts at Target... I'd rather buy from local artisans and crafters! Stop by their store at 402 E. Eisenhower in Loveland. This Saturday, Cherry Lime Boutique is hosting their annual "Christmas in July Sale" at the Fort Collins Hilton. This event is so large, that we will take up 2 huge ballrooms, and the entry way! Over 50 vendors are participating. If you are smart, you'll think about getting a head start on your Christmas shopping, and even purchase some birthday, shower or wedding gifts for the upcoming events in your life. Shopping local feels oh, so good. And who doesn't love an original gift with a story behind it? Come find that gift and plenty of stories at the Hilton in Fort Collins this Saturday. Details: Place: Fort Collins Hilton, 425 W. Prospect Rd. Date: July 28th 2012 Time: 9am-4pm Cost: Admission is FREE! |
