The Philly Trash Bash was a tremendous success. We all had such a great time running around Philadelphia and making spectacles of ourselves. The photographers got so many great photos and we got some great video. We'll be posting some video teasers later today or tomorrow, but for now you can munch on some photos at The Philadelphia Trash the Dress Blog.
This Encore Bride is a firm believer in giving experiences as gifts instead of "things" however, with Mr. Encore's impending deployment I knew there will be no time for any travel plans for Christmas. Instead I remembered how Mr. E fondly recalled the memories of his grandmother hand quilting when he was growing up. I decided to make him a quilt just in case it got a little cooler at night and that green Army blanket wasn't enough to keep him warm. It took me about 40 hours to finish (8 alone to cut the fabric!)
The blocks are finished and the border is set.
(click pictures to enlarge)
Here is a picture of it completed, please excuse the poor lighting on these pictures.
The back of the quilt, you can't see it but there is a custom silk label on the corner with his name, a scripture and my name.
This is what he found when he opened his last present on Christmas, I had a blue ribbon and bow around it inside of the box.
I never dreamed that he would be so touched by the quilt! Due to his deployment I could only give him things he could use and take with him; an iTunes giftcard, movies, hi-tech watch, calendar, custom letterpress stationery with his rank and name, a control remote Army tank (just for kicks) and the quilt.
He knew I'd been working very hard on this quilt and I had to tell him a "white" lie so he wouldn't know it was for him, when he opened the box and saw the quilt he was in shock. He took the quilt with us to his family (we did Christmas at home before we left for his family) and made sure to tell everyone about it.
The quilt is not perfect, it was my first and although I've been sewing a very long time I never made one before. Due to the prints I chose I realized after I started that it would take a while to cut as all the prints needed to be matched (the guitars, diagonal lines, linear prints, etc.) In the end I'm so glad it turned out well and all of my efforts paid off, it was a hit and is currently somewhere in the Middle East keeping my honey warm as I write this.
In the process I learned to never underestimate the appreciation for giving someone your time as you create something for them, small or large, it is the thought and effort that counts. Did you make any handmade gifts this season? Did people react as you expected once they saw them?
Update: Just received this picture from Mr. E, I can only imagine the looks he's getting!
This video was filmed, edited and shown on May 16, 2008 for Jennifer and Nick. Not only is it great for the guests to see things they missed, but the bride and groom get to view their wedding from the guest's perspective. And then they get an instant keepsake of their wedding to share with friends and loved ones.
This song is by Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers and is about two people who have identified themselves as soul mates and know that it's inevitable that they will fall in love. My favorite lyrics in the song are -
So it's official now, there's nothing we can do.
Now you're a part of me, and I'm a part of you,
and we can see our one and one makes more than two.
Is Roger trying to say that the couple is greater than the sum of their parts, or is he saying that it destiny that they have children? Only Jennifer and Nick can answer that question.
Sue and Matt had the perfect wedding at The Cescaphe' Ballroom yesterday. They hired us, the incredible Ryan Estes and the great band Don't Call Me Francis. But we're not the reason the wedding was perfect. What makes it perfect was all the great friends and family they had around them and their desire to enjoy their wedding day.
When Sue saw that we started offering our brand of same day edit call The B.I.G. Video Show she called me immediately and said she had to have it, and I am so glad she did. I think this video shows exactly what a great time Sue and Matt had and how perfect they are for each other.

Producing a quality product can sometimes mean losing business to a company that produces an inferior product. I wish I had the kind of conscience to produce a low quality, quick turnaround video like some other companies produce. A little man inside my brain tells me that I can't just shoot with a little palmcorder and ship out boring wedding videos. I won't get into name calling, but brides know who these companies are.
The problem with these company is simple - they entice brides with a low price, but deliver a video that is of much less value. And that's where it's important for couple's to understand the difference between price and cost.
You can spend $900 on a wedding video because it fits in your budget. But if it's shot with one camera, not properly framed, with bad audio and no effort put into post production, how much are you really going to enjoy that video. How many times will you watch it before it gets put on a shelf to collect dust?
If you spend $900 and you watch it 10 times the cost of the video is $90 per viewing. However if you spend $2000 and get a good video and watch it 100 times your cost is now $20 per viewing. A quality product will always be a better value in the long run.
And think of the legacy you want to hand down to your children. Your wedding is a documentation of a very important day in your life. Do you want it trusted to a company that sends out high school kids with $300 camcorders or is it better left up to professional event videographers with years of experience and hundreds of events under their belts?
As you plan your wedding consider what you will have left after the wedding is over - your rings, your photos, and your video. Plan wisely and you can relive your day for many years to come. Choose your professionals poorly and you could have a very costly wedding.

So, you've seen those three words before - right? In lieu of a gift.... In lieu of flowers... In lieu of is pretty simple to define: In place of or instead of.
Well, on the horizon is a new way of giving - INLU (get it? in lieu?). Yes, it's spelled wrong - yes they know it. What is it? A simple way of getting everyone to go in on a group gift or if you are the wedding couple and do not want gifts but, instead would rather give to a charity - this is one way to do it.
INLU allows the person organizing the party (bachelorette, bridal shower, etc) a place to create an evite invitation and collect funds for one spectacular gift. Maybe, the couple has been living together and really couldn't use a new toaster, towel set or food processor. Maybe, what they really want is a new living room set. Seems pretty easy...that is if the people you are inviting are hip to internet gifting! I happen to like the idea - it's a pretty easy way to take care of gift giving - and I want to give the couple what they really want!
We did something similar for my hubby's 40th surprise birthday party! I had a luau surprise party for him and in lieu of a gift, I asked his friends and our family to chip in for a big surprise gift - a cruise to Hawaii! They all did it and my husband was SHOCKED! It was a lot of fun and easy for the guests...the only thing they had to do was show up for the surprise and have a good time.
I am not opposed to helping a couple with their honeymoon registry either. Times have changed! No longer does the bride have a trousseauwhen she gets married!
