Etiquette/Tattoes

LEt's talk TATTOES for a moment. It can be a sensitive subject for some. Many brides and their attendants have tattoes. Some are more visible than others. If the bride doesn't want any of her attendants showing their tattoes, is it polite to ask them to cover them. Some would say yes, and some would say no. One thought is, consider the type of b-maids gown you have chosen for your attendants. If the tattoes are visible, why ask them to be a part of your wedding, knowing they have tattoes. Some brides would like elegance, when it comes to their wedding party. Now, if the bride herself has tattoes and she isn't covering hers, should she still ask her b-maids to cover theirs. Does the term "Lead by Example" apply here? When choosing your attendants, and knowing one or all of them have visible tattoes, should you take that into consideration when choosing their attire for the wedding. But again, are you pleasing them or you? You may not be happy with the gowns you have chosen, because you do not want to offend anyone.

The same question would go for body piercings...

What's your opinion?

Bridal Show

August 16, 2009.... I attended the Bridal Show today held at the Marriott Waterfront. I really enjoy attending these exhibits. It keeps me on my p's an q's. I like to know the latest of everything; gowns, flowers...I like to make myself known in the industry. It's all about networking. I get a business card, I give a business card. Tasting the cakes are a plus as well. The fashion shows give you a view of the latest styles and colors. looking forward to another show soon.

Networking

Networking is very important when trying to expand your business. Try to attend many networking events as possible. Create a website, word of mouth is a great way to get your business name on the market. Referrals is always the number 1 choice. But, do you find yourself networking and nothing seems to happen? Well, the answer is simple, it takes time. It will not happen overnight. Host a networking event yourself.
