Tough Economic Times Made Easy

2008-10-14T10:01:00.000-07:00

It is no secret we all may be struggling a little (or a lot) due to the economic hardships of our country. A Moment In Time provides services for brides with any size budget. Here are a few tips to make that budget stretch as far as it can.

1. Save the dates. Instead of choosing weighty magnets that may call for extra postage, set up a free consultation with A Moment In Time and choose a postcard for your save the date. Not only does it save you money on postage it will save you time because we offer complimentary invitation and save the date design. Our save the dates can be ordered with uploaded photos and many diverse color selections.

2. Bridal Magazines. Booking a wedding planning package with A Moment In Time doesn't only secure a wedding planner it gives you free access to any bridal magazine or book of your choice. A Moment In Time rents magazines and bridal books for free. If you aren't planning to book a package with us become a member of our resource club for a small one time fee of $25.oo. These magazines can range anywhere from $4.95 to $15! Your fee....FREE!

3. Rentals vs. Buying. There are many essential items you will need for your big day. But that's just it, after your big day you will never use them again. For instance, ring bearer pillows, flower girl baskets, cneterpieces, votive holders, tulle, greenery...you will use these things once! Come by A Moment In Time and rent these one time use items for a very inexpensive fee.

4. Bulk Buying. Every bride wants their bridesmaid to walk away with something memorable from their wedding. They have sacrificed time, money and effort to be a part of your big day. We offer bridesmaid totes in 4 different colors. When you buy six you get one brides tote for free! Also, the more favors you buy the better deal you get. Come shop where you are reawrded and appreciated for your spending!

Happy Planning,

Bridal Brunch

2008-08-07T12:27:00.000-07:00

Dear Brides,

August 2nd was our annual bridal brunch. Our staff spent time with brides as they checked out our new storefront, enjoyed breakfast on us, saw some of our newest and most creative favors and they were exposed to our decor. The pictures below are just a few things of what was featured that day.

If you researched latest trends, I am sure you know green and pink is a very popular combination! We decided to do our storefront in this brilliant and trendy color scheme.

One of our featured decor tables displayed apple green and chocolate brown. Another one of the seasons hottest color combos.
This new favor box is brilliant and simply elegant. It folds neatly with pre-creased seams for a perfect display of thanks for your wedding guests. This box holds the candy of your choice. If you are interested in this favor please contact us today!
Another popular idea is having a candy buffet. These simple white bags can be dressed up and personalized with anything from a thank you to your new initial and wedding date. We compliment your wedding colors with our diverse paper selection and high quality printer. These bag are a perfect size to leave your guest "sweetly" satisfied with a take home treat.

If you are interested in any of these favors or our decor for rent please contact a member of our staff at 423.728.6003.

P.S. If you missed it, don't be sorry! Set up a free consultation today!

Happy Planning!

The picture above was shot by Daisy Moffatt Photography, earlier this year. A Moment In Time worked closely alongside of Bradley Florist to make this bride content with her ceremony and reception flowers. Needless to say, we are all more than satisfied. The staff of Bradley Florist were very easy going and met every need of the bride.
On August 10, 2008 at 2 p.m. Bradley Florist is having an educational afternoon entitled, "What Every Bride Should Know About Wedding Flowers." The staff of A Moment In Time will be joining them to learn on topics such as: design styles, seasonal flowers, flower colors, and pricing. There is limited space!

Bridal Show Summer 2008

2008-07-14T11:18:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was the Premier Bridal Show in Chattanooga. We count it a privilege to have met so many wonderful and excited brides. It is also a great time to meet other vendors as well! This weekend was BIG for A Moment In Time. We had the Bridal Show and we also launched our new website. Please enjoy some of our wedding galleries that we have assisted with. I am hoping to get a small mishap with our camera worked out so that I can post some pictures of our booth. I wanted to also post some pictures of my favorite booth at the show. However, I had to narrow it down to three! There were just too many great ones! The booth of Divine Designs was incredible! The things Amanda designs for floral arrangements just blow my mind! She is a true talent! Al'Shibbi Catering was another eye catching booth. If you are looking for a caterer, check him out! He is amazing and his food is delicious. His booth was an overflow of trendiness and a beautiful display of class. I love his work. Here at A Moment In Time we call it a pleasure to work alongside of Daisy Moffatt Photography as frequently as possible. She is one of the most creative photographers around and I can assure you, you will be satisfied with her work. This was her first bridal show but you surely couldn't tell it. I have been to many bridal shows and her booth was so different from any booth I have ever seen. It really displayed her one-of-a-kind contemporary uniqueness. Inhabited by two bulky leather chairs and gorgeous canvas prints of her high quality work, her booth was definately one of my favorites! It challenged me to let our mind soar in the future when contemplating our next booth setup. Welcome to the bridal show world Daisy and Beau! I will try and post pictures of booths shortly.
