the details... of "2010" & the I Do's...of "2011" LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!



This Year we're going back to the BASICS
for Bringing in the New Year

Can you believe the year is almost over? It seems that the older I get the turning of the clock comes faster, Is it just me who thinks that? So many wonderful things happen this year that I'm pleasantly pleased with, however I did learn a few life lessons along the way.  The most important part is when you encounter circumstances that may not go as plan do you buckle under the pressure or do you pick your head-up and move forward even better & stronger?  I take a hard look at the situation & re-evaluate the steps that brought me there. Did I see signs along the way & completely ignore my navigation?  The New Year is about making changes re-evaluating absolutely everything in your life and making a new. If something isn't working then take steps to change it so you'll live a more fulfilling life.

I thought I was done with  my personal goals for "2011", but just added one additional item to the list. If you have written down resolutions for "2011" & come January 20th something else comes-up; add it to your list-Do not ignore. You may not complete everything, but visit your life actions daily, so the more you dedicate time & effort to the better results you'll have. It's all a process & as long as you are working towards the process eventually you'll see "RESULTS".

I  try to always  provide positive words of wisdom to my friends, clients & associates which we call drezrehersal Tips... I am a person who believes in saying it like it is and not sugar coating it. One thing my friends appreciate from me & know if they want it real ASK KIMBERLY.  Why would you even want someone to tell you what you want to hear verses what is the right thing you should  hear? It's key to be in-tune with yourself  so you recognize certain situations along your journey in life.

drezrehersal Tip... Recognize reading people's subliminal motives and assess who is a true ally and who to avoid at all costs ;personal or business.

Time to say Goodbye to "2010" & Welcome in "2011" Looking forward to a fantastic year of fulfilling my dreams, new opportunities & new relationships all while Living, Loving & Laughing through this journey we call Life. We only have one so why not make the best of it.

the I Do's...

Bruce Jenner, Olympic Medal winner and Stepfather to Khloe Kardashian walked her down the aisle on Sunday, Sept 27th at 4:30 pm . Having work with Bruce, he is a traditional guy and can do without all the fan flair. So needless to say the quick nuptials were a surprise. Bruce heard about Khloe’s initial engagement news through Ryan Seacrest's radio show. "Honestly I thought it was a joke," he said. "Then I was on the driving range later that day and someone came up to me and said, 'Congratulations, I hear your daughter is getting married.' Then it was on the news that night and I thought, maybe there is something to this." Well they all do make good TV, so wouldn't you know the wedding footage from the reality star's nuptials to Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom will air on a special episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians: The Wedding on Nov. 8 at 9 p.m. E.T. I wish the happy couple many blissful years together and I will personally be Keeping Up With the Kardashians. View photo's of Khloe & Lamar Dream Wedding.

Experience Destination Weddings

A few weeks ago I was personally invited as a Premier Event Producer to attend a Celebrate Romance Media Event put on by Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine. The event was at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel and Susan Moynihan, Editor in Chief of Destination Weddings & Honeymoons, hosted a lively panel discussion with industry experts on the state of the romance market. As I mix and mingle with some of the world's top hotels, resort and romantic destinations,which many of them I have had the pleasure of doing business with.

The evening ended with cocktails, fabulous hors d'oeuvres served by the top notch staff at the Beverly Hills Hotel and lastly my favorite wedding cake (Red Velvet) by NancyKay's Confections. The Destination Wedding Cake was six layers and alternated between Red Velvet & Limoncello Lemon . Moist and Brilliant Red Velvet Cake Layered with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting Filling and Limoncello Lemon Zest Cake Layered with Lemon Curd Fromage Filling. Simply Delicious. My evening cocktail was The Jet Setter. The prefect refreshing drink for your destination wedding.

Welcome to the Experience of Your Dreams

The ultimate wedding awaits you. It's a day you have fantasized about with all your girlfriends. Could you have ever imagined? A Destination Wedding. It's all about the Experience you create . An unforgettable celebration that is everything you've dreamt it would be.

Check Out My 5 Reasons Why Every Bride-to-Be should consider a Destination Wedding

1. It's Not As Expensive As You Might Think

Destination Wedding are a cost effective way to trim your budget. Majority of the savings comes from scaling back on your guest list. You are creating an experience for those that are truly close to you. Your guest list should include those who are near & dear to you. Having fewer attendees means you get to spend quality time with each of them and you & your fiance' will appreciate the experience even more.

2. The Experience

Having a Wedding Planner who is experienced in handling all the details of your Destination Wedding is crucial. It takes all the pressure off the Bride,Groom and your family. An Experienced Destination Wedding Planner will have relationships with venue locations and know all the rules that apply for that particular destination. Once you have selected your planner a production meeting is set with all those involved to discuss a theme that represents not only the two of you, but also ties in your surroundings.

3. Guests Enjoy a Discounted Vacation

drezrehersal works with the best of the best and we will arrange all the details for your guests and make sure everything runs smoothly. Groups rates on hotel rooms and airfare will help your guests get a vacation for less ; verses handling the details on their own. The only thing your guest will need to do is pack. With a destination experience, all of your guests stay at the same location, making it easier to coordinate memorable gathering & transportation for all your scheduled activities prior to the wedding day. Everyone gets to have fun & enjoy the experience you are creating. Keyword Experience not an Event! Who would not love that?

4. You're Forced To Relax

Nothing is more important than to let go of the control and allow the professionals to handle everything . Something serene happens when you travel away. It's always about being pampered and just enjoying the time away from home. Whether you travel an hour away or thousands of miles away. Destination Weddings give you the best of both worlds. Between all the activities you have planned you & your guests can enjoy the beautiful surroundings of your chosen destination.

5. Welcome to the Experience of Your Dreams

Inviting those who are nearest and dearest to you at this most important moment in your life. You have not just created a Special Day, but a guaranteed Experience your guests will treasure more than just a one day event.

Where Should I Experience the details???

Just a few destinations favorites of mine: Oahu-Hawaii, Maui-Hawaii, Costa Rica, Venice-Italy, Santa Barbara, Napa Valley, Riviera Maya-Mexico , Figi and Antigua.

A location I desire and dream to go to in the very near future: Dubai... visit the pristine waters of the Arabian Gulf which stands as the worlds one and only 7- Star Hotel, Burj Al Arab. Its unique architectural design, that resemble a billowing sail, makes it Dubai's number one landmark, and a world famous iconic structure that represents the spirit of Dubai. What a dream I have over and over in my head. Good things always come to those who wait patiently.

The Cutest Proposal Ever!

Shannon's Story: In the September issue of Glamour Magazine

Last weekend, while we were on a trip, my boyfriend Chris proposed to me (an unbelievably romantic, sweet and perfect proposal--a whole other wonderful story) during a romantic weekend trip while my daughter Emerson was visiting her father in New York. He also adores Emerson, my seven-year-old daughter, so he wanted to do something special to let her know we were becoming a family. So, when we picked up Emerson after our weekend trip, we all went down to a nearby creek. Chris asked me to stay near the path while he walked to the creek with Em to ask her something. Taking out a ring box, he got on one knee and asked her to do him the honor of becoming his step-daughter.

My heart swelled knowing not only was I getting this amazing man as my husband, but my little girl was getting a wonderful step-father who absolutely adores her. She said yes and ran to me with a huge smile and a hug. A few seconds later, she started crying but between sobs told me they were happy tears, which I don't think she's ever experienced before. It was a very special moment for all three of us.

Do It Yourself With Style & Elegance

The Black & White Collection is really HOT these days. If your style is chic elegance, then you cant go wrong with Black & White as the colors for your special day. You can even add a accent color to give it some glam. To get your dream day started send out your Save-the-Dates at least 6-9 months in advance if not earlier.

Although Save-the-Dates are not absolutely necessary, the cards have increased in popularity with the rise of destination weddings and modern guest lists. Since they are a relatively modern concept, no real rules apply - a fact which sometimes causes confusion for brides when planning their wedding stationery.

Who Needs Save-the-Date Cards?

If your guest list includes a number of out-of-towners or if your wedding takes place during a holiday or other peak time, you are a prime candidate for save-the-dates. Since invitations don’t go out until 6-8 weeks before the big day, save-the-dates are the perfect way to give wedding guests a preliminary heads up so they can begin making travel arrangements. Your Save-the- Dates will be the first impression of your wedding festivities, so take advantage of this opportunity to build excitement amongst your wedding guests.

In any case have fun with your Save-the-Dates and let it represent you & your fiance personality. The content of your Save-the-Dates should be short, sweet, and to the point - providing a basic who, what, where, and when. There is no standard wording; they can be as formal or as whimsical as you’d like. *Make sure to include “Formal invitation to follow” somewhere on the card.
