Love And Your Linen Closet






With the popularity of gift registries, couples today may find it even easier to collect what they need to start their new lives. According to TheKnot.com, over $19 billion is spent annually through wedding gift registries.





With linens as a top registry category, that can add up to a lot of sheets and towels. According to the experts at ClosetMaid, the average couple needs:





• Two sheet sets for seasonal changes and one basic white set for each bedroom





• Eight pillows (two for her, two for him and four for guests)





• Two comforters per bed (one for warmer and one for colder weather)





• One throw blanket per bed and an extra one for cozy fireplace cuddling





• Four bath towels, four hand towels and four washcloths per bathroom.





It's also a good idea to ask for a storage system to organize all those linens.





"Your linen closet doesn't have to be a haphazard mess of towels and blankets," observes Susan Follick of ClosetMaid. "With the appropriate storage system, your linen closet can promote a calm sense of order and organization."





Follick recommends ClosetMaid MasterSuite® as an elegant solution. Available in a variety of finishes including Clean White and new Antique White, it's a custom-designed line of laminate storage systems that meet individual needs through the company's authorized installing dealers.





"Varied shelf heights allow you to maintain the good practice of loosely folding and stacking towels to preserve their fluffiness," says Follick. "You need about 10 inches between shelves for sheets and 15 inches for towels. Multiple shelves can accommodate small stacks, making them less likely to fall over, and allow you to keep everyday items like bath towels at eye level."





For the do-it-yourself bride and homeowner, there's a special linen line of ventilated wire shelving. Their all-purpose linen shelving helps air to circulate and is available in both 12" and 16" shelf depths.

Halloween Vampire Makeup






When will Halloween arrive! Its taking so long to get here. I am looking forward to terrifying the little ones out trick-or-treating. I wear my vampire gear complete with glued on fangs, special make up and a dark long cloak. And I am confident I resemble the real thing when I am done.





Just ask the numerous small ghouls, witches and monsters that came knocking on my door last year. I paid a high price for my fun though, in the form of large handfuls of candy. But it was worth it. Halloween is just one day. I think everyone should get into the swing of it and enjoy the whole ghoulish experience. Are you ready for Halloween? Do you have your costume?





So what will you be? There are always people drawn to the Jason or Freddy costumes. I don’t know what it is about those flicks. What reason could there be for wanting to walk about as a movie serial killer? I don’t know. But like them, it’s the same costume every year for me.





You might think this is a bit unimaginative but I have it down to a science now. I’m sure like the fans of Freddy or the vampire ensemble I have, you are drawn to some specific area, be it werewolf or witch. Whatever character you are thinking about, your best bet for a huge selection is the internet. That’s where I get my fangs and make up.





You don’t have to drag yourself to the store and rummage about looking for something. You don’t have to worry about your favorites costume being out of stock or the costs being too high. All you need to do is check out the variety of sites choose a costumes and you would be on your way.

Comfortable Men's Wedding Rings






A wedding ring is something that is meant to be worn for life, so comfort should naturally be a consideration when purchasing a wedding band. Today, many rings are available in comfort fits, meaning that extra metal is used to make the inside of the band slightly domed, resulting in a very comfortable fit. As with most things, this piece of extra comfort generally means extra money.





The comfort-fit style is especially recommended for bands than are 5 mm or wider. It is also recommended for men, because the special design makes it easier to slide over a large knuckle and because it is also more comfortable once it is on.





It is important to consider how often the band will be worn when deciding whether or not a comfort-fit ring should be purchased. A band that is made of a durable metal such as titanium will probably be worn more frequently than a softer-metal ring. Therefore, the man may desire something that will provide extra comfort throughout a variety of daily activities.





Many grooms may also find comfort fit wedding rings more stylish. The domed shape allows for more reflection of light, giving the man’s ring a more polished appearance.





There are many options to choose from when purchasing a man's wedding band. Even at a higher price, a comfort-fit man’s wedding ring is perhaps one of the best options available. In addition, a more comfortable ring will help ensure a frequently worn ring, which is certainly something that would please most wives.

Pre-Nup Pointers For Your Feet






As a bride prepares for her wedding day, there is a long list of things to do. Book the reception hall. Order the wedding cake. Find the perfect dress. And ... take care of her feet.





Many brides will wear shoes that can wreak havoc on their feet. So it's especially important to pamper them before the big day. Here are some tips from the American Podiatric Medical Association on making your wedding a little easier on the feet:





* Pre-nuptial pampering prep: Fill a bucket with warm water and be sure it is large enough for both of your feet to soak. Remove nail polish with non-acetone polish remover. Stimulate foot circulation and warm up your feet by propping one foot at a time on your lap, grasp the foot and begin slowly moving your thumbs from the top of your toes to the bottom of your heel and back. Use a nail clipper to cut toenails straight across. Then, use an emery board to smooth the nail edges.





* Soothing the soles: After soaking, use a pumice stone or non-metal foot file to gently smooth the skin around the heel and the balls and sides of your feet. (For extra soothing and softening, use a scrub and massage your entire foot and lower leg.) Use a fresh towel to pat feet dry and be sure to dry between each toe. Massage a healthy amount of emollient-enriched skin lotion all over your feet to hydrate the skin and increase circulation.





* Finishing toe touches: Remove the moisturizer from your toenails and in between your toes by using soap and water. Apply polish only if you have healthy nails. While it may make your toes look pretty, nail polish locks out moisture and doesn't allow the nail or nail bed to "breathe."





On the eve of your wedding day, lightly wrap cellophane around each foot. The cellophane will act as a makeshift sauna by locking in moisture. By morning, your feet will feel soothingly soft.


Friday

Anniversary Invitations: Celebrating a Milestone






For every anniversary there is a different theme. If you are choosing to throw a party to celebrate your anniversary, choosing the right invitation can be a very important step in party planning.





If it is your first year anniversary, the theme is paper, 25th is silver and 50th is gold. For a full list of anniversary gifts by year pick up any wedding etiquette book. It is full of useful information for after the big day. There are many beautiful gold and silver invitations that will help you to commemorate this special time.





If someone besides the couple is hosting an anniversary party it is easy to select a lovely anniversary invitation. Keep in mind the anniversary year and the style of the couple who is celebrating. With this information, the host can select the invitation that best matches the couples anniversary and interests.





There are so many varying styles of anniversary invitations. There are cards, tri-fold invitations, and invitations with matching RSVP cards. Depending on how formal the event will be, invitations can range from very simple to very ornate. Again, it is up to the couple or the host to which type of invitation will be selected.





Anniversaries are a very special time, and a very proud time for a couple who wishes to celebrate their love. Whether it is the first year of marriage or the fiftieth, all celebrations begin the moment guests receive their anniversary invitations. Set the mood and choose the perfect invitations.

How to Save Money on a Las Vegas Wedding






If you are planning to get married in Las Vegas and are hoping to find a wedding deal, you are in luck. Many wedding chapels and other wedding locations in Las Vegas offer special deals that can save you money on your wedding. The best way to get a deal is to have your wedding on a weekday. Many Las Vegas wedding sites including chapels often offer special packages that allow you to save money for having your ceremony during the week when they are typically not as busy. A lot of times this can save you anywhere from a hundred to a thousand dollars or more depending on the package and location.





Some Las Vegas wedding sites will also offer specials on packages if you have your ceremony early in the day instead of in the evening. Be sure to avoid holidays when chapels are the busiest and packages can often cost more.





Also be sure to check each Las Vegas wedding chapel’s website. Many of them run monthly specials or offer deals if you book your wedding package through the website. Many Las Vegas wedding locations will also offer seasonal specials for their down times. Outdoor or garden locations for instance sometimes run specials for the winter and summer months when their sites may not be as popular.





If you are planning a wedding reception in Las Vegas, some locations will offer you deals on your ceremony if you also hold your wedding reception at their site. This is convenient for you and your guests as well, since you don’t have to worry about rushing off to a separate location for the reception.





If you are hoping to find a deal and save money on your Las Vegas wedding it can be done. Las Vegas has a lot to offer when it comes to weddings. With a little time and patience, and some diligent research, you can find a location and package that fits your needs, wants, and budget!

Cheap Las Vegas Weddings






Imagine the cheapest wedding you’d like. You have to pay the $55.00 fee for the marriage license and you have to pay someone to perform the service. Then there’s the witness who must be present at the ceremony. And you have to perform the service somewhere, although it doesn’t have to be lavish. There are many places in and around Las Vegas that will perform the service and provide the witness for as little as $40.00. And they’ll even throw in a CD in the background featuring traditional wedding music.





You get there on your own, present your paid license and in a few short moments you’ll be in front of a person licensed to perform wedding services in Las Vegas that are recognized around the world. Not exactly the wedding of your dreams but for $40.00 and the price of the license what did you expect. Go for another $60.00 and they’ll throw in a limousine ride back to your hotel, a few photos taken with a disposable film camera that you’ll get developed on your own, a bouquet of flowers and a boutonniиre for the groom.





It really doesn’t get any cheaper than that and you’ll have more than just your memory of the event to take home and share with friends and family. Getting married on the cheap in any other city but Las Vegas would be, well, tacky. But cheap Las Vegas weddings have been turned into an art form, unequaled in any other city in the world. Anybody can spend a lot of money, but doing a fun wedding and reception on the cheap shows real talent!

Engraving Your Wedding Bands? New Jewelry Technology Creates Romantic Possibilities .






What is more romantic for a bride and groom than looking inside of their wedding bands and seeing a personalized engraving with special meaning for them?





There are a few ways to accomplish this task that your jeweler will recommend and now some new processes available that increase the limits of the message that can be created on rings.





Let us review the traditional methods most currently being used in the marketplace.





First, there is hand engraving done by an artisan engraver using a hand tool called a graver. It is not a perfect process and the results will depend on the quality and skill of the craftsman doing the work.





Also commonly used is machine engraving which is much more precise but usually limited to one row of words using up to 20 characters to be engraved on the ring.





Now, a specialty process adapted to a not so new technology, called laser engraving, has opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for wedding couples who are thinking of engraving their rings. Wedding bands are now being created with entire messages that are clearly readable and up to 225 character long. This allows the ability to write whole passages, even entire wedding vows, on the inside of the wedding bands. Currently, bridal couples are choosing from civil vows, gay partner vows, religious vows, love poetry, Shakesperean Sonnets, and even writing their own vows..





This sentimental and romantic addition to your wedding bands can forever be a reminder of your love and the commitments made, and add a special and unique touch to your wedding day.

Unique Gift Registry Helps Impoverished Families






When they got married in 2002, Elizabeth Spees and Michael Robinson chose something different to put on their wedding gift wish list: farm animals.





The couple asked their guests to contribute to an "ark" through Heifer International, a nonprofit organization that provides livestock and agricultural training to impoverished families all over the world. Creating an ark means collecting $5,000, which goes toward education and sustainable development of Heifer projects in any one of 50 countries, including the U.S.





Their guests met that goal and more, which the Robinsons said was a joy because they wanted to help others rather than collect more stuff they did not need.





Heifer International's new online "Giving Registry" allows people to set up wish lists for milestones such as weddings, anniversaries, Bar Mitzvahs and birthdays; school and church fundraisers; or memorials for loved ones.





The Giving Registry is part of Heifer International's popular online gift catalog. Registrants select gifts they would like to receive, just as they would through a department-store gift registry. But instead of toaster ovens and china, Heifer's registry selections include everything from chickens to cows to water buffaloes. The livestock enables families to obtain milk, eggs, wool and other income-producing benefits to feed, clothe and educate their children.





Registrants can customize their own gift page, select honor cards and track donations.

When do I order and send out my Wedding Invitations?






It is my recommendation that you order your Wedding Invitations at least four weeks prior to mailing them out to your guests. This will allow you plenty of time to receive your Wedding Invitations and double check your order to make sure you have received everything you ordered and no mistakes were made. It will allow you enough time for a reprint is needed. It will also allow you plenty of time to address all the envelopes.





Wedding Invitations should be mailed out so that your guest will receive them at least six to eight weeks prior to the Wedding. This will allow your guest enough time to make travel plans and return the respond card you included with your Wedding Invitation. Typically the respond by date should be two weeks prior to your wedding date. This should allow you enough time to make your final preparations.





You will have many other things to take care of as your wedding approaches and the last thing you need is to have to rush to get your wedding invitations addressed and mailed out. There will undoubtedly be last minute names to add and address changes to deal with so please allow yourself plenty of time to accomplish this task.

With marriage proposals modernizing into an "anything goes" mentality, long-standing proposal customs are often considered optional, adding confusion to what's considered proper when it comes to proposing.





In fact, a recent proposal survey conducted by Korbel Champagne Cellars revealed that 68 percent of Americans agree that there's no "right" way to propose.





Korbel and etiquette expert Peter Post weigh in on some of today's most-discussed proposal etiquette issues:





Meet the Parents





* This is a common question and an area where the rules have slightly changed. The concept of asking your intended's parents' permission to wed may seem old-fashioned, but the modern equivalent isn't - discussing your plans and intentions with your future in-laws is still a sign of respect.





On Bended Knee





* Once considered a sign of servitude to the lover, this tradition dates back to the days of knights and chivalry and continues to evoke romance today. But if you think you'll be weak at the knees when proposing, pick another pose that's comfortable for you.





Romance Rules





* Decide on what your intended will find sentimental and memorable and incorporate meaningful gestures - such as asking for her hand at her favorite restaurant.





As etiquette guidelines evolve with the times, planning a proposal can be confusing and overwhelming. That's why





Korbel is once again helping men and women make their ultimate "Marry Me?" moment a reality through The Korbel Perfect Proposal Contest.





Judges will select three first-prize winners and Korbel will bring their winning proposals to life just before Valentine's Day, 2005, including an exclusive round Signature Diamond Engagement Ring from Blue Nile (created from among the top 1 percent of all diamonds in the world). The grand prize winner will also receive a honeymoon cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line.

Royal Earrings Available at Adorn.com (Adorn Brides)

Lees Summit, Missouri (PRWEB) May 03, 2011
As the world watched, Kate Middleton became Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge early this morning. To our pleasant surprise, the jewelry she chose to accessorize her wedding dress bore a striking resemblance to Adorn Brides’ Abbott earrings. In honor of William & Kate, Adorn Brides has renamed the Abbott earrings the Middleton Earrings (http://www.adorn.com/diamond-drop-earrings-o82.aspx).
A unique diamond drop earring in white gold, the Middleton Earrings feature micro pave diamond details throughout with a marquis-shaped diamond affixed at the bottom of a larger dangling teardrop loop which give the marquis a floating appearance. Costing over $7,000, our Middleton Earrings are available to rent from Adorn Brides at a reasonable price of $160.
Although the earrings worn by Kate Middleton do include a dangling acorn which is symbolic of the Royal family crest, our Middleton earrings instead feature a diamond marquis and the both sets appear identical in size and shape.
Founded in 2006, Adorn Brides is the leader in diamond jewelry rental for brides. Renting fine jewelry for weddings and special occasions at a fraction of the retail cost, Adorn Brides has an extensive collection of diamond earrings, necklaces, and bracelets from which clientele make a selection.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 04, 2011
Blueprint Studios has received the 2011 Platinum Award for Design Excellence for its new Infinity chairs and barstools. The Infinity line earned the coveted Platinum ADEX Award, which is sponsored by the Design Journal Magazine, based on form, function and aesthetics.
Blueprint Studios faced some tough competition in this year’s awards program: The number of companies in the contest increased by more than 22 percent from last year, totaling thousands of entries. Each company entered an average of 7.2 products into the competition.
Blueprint Studios, a premier event design and rental firm based in San Francisco, CA, builds the patented Infinity chairs and barstools from lightweight woods and offers them nationwide for event rentals. The Infinity chairs and barstools are highly popular and offer a modern, sleek and beautiful alternative to traditional seating. They come in a variety of colors, fabrics and textures.
"We had grown quite disappointed with the existing seating options offered to the special events industry and decided to design and build our own patented furniture," said Paul Moss, one of the principals at Blueprint Studios.
Mircea Manea, also a designer and principal at Blueprint Studios, said that the company was proud to have won the “most prestigious award in the industry,” adding that the Infinity line had already garnered praise at previous events.

"Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver?: The Newest Collection:...

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 04, 2011
Although Apples of Gold, the online jewelry company, boasts over 5,000 pieces in its collection, most recently it is their newest line—the sterling silver collection—that sparkles and shines. While gold, diamonds, and gemstones will always be the Apples of Gold forte, sterling silver has its own unique appeal. And for jewelry buyers looking for a little luxury in a lulled economy, sterling silver provides an affordable option.
Apples of Gold distinguishes itself in the jewelry market for its ethical pricing principles and commitment to Biblical values. Sterling silver fits into the company’s value-based philosophy while maintaining the integrity of the their signature Scripture verse: "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold, in settings of silver" (Proverbs 25:11). With an eye towards value and quality, Apples of Gold is proud to introduce their line of sterling silver jewelry, with pieces that have been hand-picked for both beauty and affordability.
The new Apples of Gold Sterling Silver Collection features only the finest in .925 sterling silver. Signature pieces include sterling silver cross pendants, fashion rings, earrings, sterling and gemstone rings and pendants, and also many pieces that combine silver and gold. Several items have been crafted by acclaimed jewelry artists and hail from exotic locations such as Hawaii and Israel, giving them a stylish, dramatic flair. As Spring is the season of many first communions and confirmations, sterling silver cross pendants and religious-themed selections take center stage. The line features options to suit a myriad of style and budget preferences.
Says Apples of Gold, founder, Afshin Yaghtin, "While our core focus remains gold, diamonds, and gemstones, we have enthusiastically enjoyed hand-selecting fine sterling silver jewelry pieces that reflect our core beliefs and values. In the upcoming months, we will be adding hundreds of new, contemporary sterling silver pieces!"

WinkBall?s Wedding Wisdom for the Windsors?

(PRWEB) April 28, 2011

As the Royal Wedding approaches, WinkBall.com - the UK’s no. 1 video website - have been sending out their extensive worldwide network of street video reporters to capture public mood ahead of the event and give the public their chance to offer some sage marital advice for the couple to be. The 3,000-strong responses gave WinkBall a chance to analyse how people differed when talking about relationships, depending on their gender and location – and discovered some surprising results.

Through their unique video coverage, WinkBall.com has conducted a worldwide video survey that will help the newly-wed royals stay together forever. WinkBall have spoken to people in areas ranging from New York, Capetown, London, Birmingham and the Royals’ home city of Windsor. The Royal Wedding promises to be a worldwide event that will be watched by an estimated 2 billion people and through their work, WinkBall has provided an open and exciting platform via the online world for members of the public to speak to the happy couple.

WinkBall have so far collected a variety of opinions from people of all ages and cultures. The advice offered by members of the public has followed a similar trend but has on some occasion presented the royal couple with some colourful guidance. The three key points of advice that the majority of people have offered to the couple have been honesty, trust and tolerance. These three things are considered to be the benchmark for what makes a successful relationship. Other interesting suggestions offered were to: “Listen to the mother-in-law”; “Always say ‘yes dear’”; “Don’t eat a burger when you’ve got steak at home” or, alternatively, “Remain drunk at all times”! All this advice has presented a unique kaleidoscope of public opinion that is delivered through the emotional power of video.

Through their work WinkBall have not only presented William and Kate with a video survival guide to a healthy marriage, but has demonstrated the potential of their reporter network being used as a tool for market research. With over 3,000 people already spoken to, the messages collected have presented a clear and distinct demographic profile of opinion on the Royal Wedding 2011.

This unique survey of opinion demonstrates some very interesting patterns! In London, for example, interviewees held widely contrasting views according to gender: 60% of men said honesty and communication were the vital ingredients of a successful relationship, but only 20% of women agreed.

Fascinatingly, there were similarities between male responses in London, Birmingham, Preston and South Africa. They all scored loyalty and trust as relatively unimportant in a relationship, but placed high regard on honesty and communication. In most locations including New York, women put a high emphasis on tolerance and compromise - except in Birmingham and Newcastle.

The full table of findings is included below. Find all footage via:

Considering Breast Augmentation? Atlanta Surgeon Declares There Is...

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 05, 2011

Dr. Joseph Bauer, a double board certified plastic surgeon and Founder at Atlanta’s Swan Center, specializes in breast augmentation and other breast surgeries. With swimsuit season just around the corner, he reminds women that they need to consider recovery time when scheduling breast augmentation procedures. The good news for those interested in the surgery for the upcoming bathing suit season is that there is still time to recuperate.

“Swimsuit season is fast approaching,” stated Dr. Bauer, “but women who come in now to schedule their surgeries can still make a full recovery before they plan their summer trips and enjoyable vacations. However, the clock is ticking and they will want to make a decision pretty quickly.”

Part of the reason it is important for women considering breast augmentation in Atlanta to schedule their surgeries soon is because there is a there is a total of about three weeks for full recovery allowing the patient at that time to be in pools, hot tubs, beach, and look pretty amazing in their new bathing suit by then after the procedure. It can take up to a month for the swelling and bruising to completely diminish after the procedure. Most women would not be comfortable wearing a swimsuit, while still dealing with some bruising and swelling.

Even after a month the implants may not have settled into their final position as the body adjusts to their presence. Some patients do not see their final results for six to eight weeks. Giving the body sufficient time after the procedure before donning a swimsuit will improve the patient’s satisfaction with the surgery.

Women who are considering breast augmentation at Atlanta’s Swan Center also need to take sufficient time off of work or other regular activities. They need at least 3-4 days not working and many benefit from a reduced amount of activity for a week or two for recovery period while the incision site heals and body adjusts to the implants. Dr. Bauer recommends avoiding strenuous activities for around six weeks, which means no heavy lifting post surgery to avoid damaging the incision sites.

As the weather warms up, more and more patients are visiting the Swan Center for breast procedures. Those who want to be ready for their swimsuits need to schedule their surgeries before the early slots are filled.

About Dr. Bauer

Dr. Joseph Bauer is a double board certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta who practices at and is the Founder of The Swan Center. In addition, Dr. Bauer has served as a clinical investigator for the Food and Drug Administration and has worked on many of the clinical trials conducted by implant manufacturers here in the United States and abroad. He takes a personal approach with each patient he cares for, opting for procedures and surgical decisions that best fit their individual traits, body frames, and personalities. Dr. Bauer is one of the leading breast surgeons in the southeast and foremost leader in the industry. Dr. Bauer was just voted as Best of Atlanta 2011 for breast surgeries by Jezebel Magazine. At the Swan Center he embraces the latest technological advancements to provide patients with the highest level of care. To learn more visit http://www.swancenteratlanta.com.

Running of the Brides Sale Turns Filene?s Basement Into an...

Aventura, FL (PRWEB) May 04, 2011

Hundreds of brides-to-be are expected at the legendary Running of the Brides® sale in South Florida on May 6, all looking to snag the wedding gown of their dreams at a bargain price. At 8:00am the brides and their helpers will burst through the doors of Filene’s Basement in Aventura to wade through over 1300 gowns, sizes 2 to 26. So deep are the discounts, many customers will literally pounce on dresses priced from $249-$699 that might otherwise cost as much as $9,000. This year, Filene’s Basement is partnering with Slim-Fast® to help brides get the perfect fit in the perfect dress for the big day.

“We know looking for the perfect dress at a great price is a primary concern for many brides,” said Joel Feigenbaum, president and COO of Filene’s Basement and its parent company SYMS Clothing. “But we also know brides want to look their best on their big day and Slim-Fast® can help. Filene’s Basement and Slim-Fast® are a good match – we both want to help brides look picture perfect on their wedding day.”

The racks are stripped bare in less than 90 seconds as the brides and their teammates grab the first dresses they reach. Then it’s time for the women to strip down to leotards, sports bras or even underwear to try on gowns right there on the sales floor.

If it doesn’t quite fit or if it needs a little pressing, the experts from DryEco in Sunny Isles will be there to work their magic, and the bride can still come out way ahead. But what happens if a petite bride snagged a size 14 dress in pink chiffon when she really wanted a size 4 in white satin? That’s when the real fun begins, as the women start bartering to find the right designer or size. It’s a ritual that turns Filene’s Basement into an old-fashioned bazaar.

Lexington Plaza Waterfront Hotel is Now the University Plaza...

Stockton, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2011

The Lexington Plaza Waterfront Hotel is now the University Plaza Waterfront Hotel to reflect the new direction the ownership team is taking the hotel. They recently announced plans for off-campus student living in the upper floors of the seven story hotel, which were originally built as luxury condominiums. The hotel is now completely locally managed and again an integral piece of the Stockton community; the addition of accommodations for college students furthers this mission.

“While our name has changed we’re still the same great hotel with all the amenities our guests have come to expect from a premier luxury hotel,” reports General Manager Christopher Gamble, CHA, “All the existing reservations and plans of our guests are honored with the new hotel. Reservations are available by contacting the hotel directly at 209-944-1140.”

As a member of the Downtown Stockton Alliance, the University Plaza Waterfront Hotel has been key in the revitalization efforts; it is the most expensive private investment downtown in nearly 20 years. The 3-star hotel sits along the waterfront in the heart of Stockton’s newly revitalized entertainment district, just 80 miles northeast of San Francisco and 45 miles south of Sacramento.

Floral Industry Expert Abner Maldonado Appears on The Mother Love Show...

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) May 04, 2011

Abner Maldonado, consultant for EZBloomers.com, was a featured guest on Mother Love Live, a show dedicated to showcasing informative guests from all walks of life.

“I learned that most online flower buyers have no idea that they are paying middle men unnecessary fees and not getting their money's worth, something http://www.EZBloomers.com is set on changing. This is our new online flower service that’s for sure,” said Mother Love. “I have received flowers purchased through EZBloomers.com a few times now and they have been absolutely gorgeous every time. I am very impressed to say the least.”

A 30 plus year veteran of the floral industry, Abner has been a consultant in the areas of Marketing, Accounting and overall business operations for more than 500 florists. He has designed and developed several Point of Sale systems including 1800Flowers first system in 1989, most of these systems are still in use today. Over the span of his career he has visited over 1,000 flower shops.

“I totally believe in the EZBloomers.com concept and have joined forces with Kimba Vasquez to turn the industry back around and put the emphasis where it belongs, between the Florist and the consumer and remove the middlemen,” said Abner Maldonado. “The EZBloomers.com concept has been 100% accepted by consumers and florists alike."

Other online flower ordering sites lead consumers to believe they are the florist and not middlemen who come between the consumer and the florist. This tends to cause a poor shopping experience on many occasions. Because these sites fear losing the customer, they never let the consumer know who the florist is, nor will they let the florist know who the consumer is. With this model, should you need help with your order you will never speak with the actual florist who filled your order.

"Our concept is simple; we connect consumer orders to a quality florist in the EZbloomers.com community at no additional charge. Most online flower ordering companies charge a $15 service fee for the use of their site. And because our orders go directly to the florist, the florists do not have to pay the 20% commission and 7% clearing fee they pay to other sites. The florist receives the full value of the order. The consumer pays less and receives more value," Maldonado said. "And that's why EZBloomers.com is a win-win for the consumer as well as the florist."

At EZBloomers.com orders go directly to the local florist, not a middleman. The price the customer sees is the price the customer pays. There no are no commissions or service fees and the full amount the customer pays goes where it's supposed to: toward their order.

Fee free flowers combined with made to order flowers makes EZBloomers.com the best place to order flowers online.

Spruce Point Inn Affairs Are Maine Oceanside Weddings Fit for Royals

Boothbay Harbor, ME (PRWEB) April 28, 2011

A cool blue sapphire surrounded by sparkling diamonds that his mother treasured. The venue, steeped in history, where his grandmother was wed. Family and special guests gathering from around the globe.

The Royal Wedding?

No, another fairytale wedding at Spruce Point Inn on the ocean in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

The Knot rates Spruce Point Inn as one of their five recommended destination wedding locations in the State of Maine. They called it “Retro Modern… [an] idyllic location … [with] luxury facilities.” Guest comments about weddings, anniversary celebrations and vow renewal ceremonies at the Inn paint a truly romantic picture of couples making memories to last. Watching a YouTube video of a bride and groom’s first dance (clearly well-rehearsed) on the parquet dance floor in the Inn’s Linekin Bay Room, it is clear that Spruce Point Inn is the place where a Maine oceanside resort wedding is made of long summer evenings, romantic walks along the shore and misty mornings in the spruces giving way to sun-drenched afternoons under shady market umbrellas. Martha Stewart Living said, "We wanted to share the incredible views, the ocean, the incredible beauty that never changes."

Facilities at Spruce Point Inn can accommodate gatherings of groups ranging from 14 to 400 people. The Inn’s professional event planners are known nationally for their ability to coordinate the most intimate and secure retreats, large family gatherings and another word seaside weddings that feature a mix of off-site activities (accessible via the Inn’s shuttle and waterborne launch) and creative use of the Inn’s 57 acre landscaped grounds, recreation and Spa put to best advantage.

With over 5,000 square feet of spectacular oceanfront wedding space, including tented decks, the Inn offers one of the most distinctive destination wedding venues in all of New England for exclusive events. The wedding party might arrive at the ceremony aboard an antique yacht. The historic inn provides one venue for the ceremony while the tented waterfront or cathedral ceiling ballroom (with the illuminated Maine woods as a backdrop) provide romantic memories for the reception.

The Inn’s wedding facilities include:

The Pemaquid, a 4,500 square foot state-of-the-art facility, with adjacent 4,000squarefoot tented courtyard and can accommodate up to 280 guests. The upper level allows for a dramatic entry by the bride to her reception.

The Linekin Bay , covering 2,100 square feet, features cathedral ceilings and is decorated in an elegant New England style. Fully air-conditioned and ADA accessible, the room is adjacent to a beautifully landscaped and tented courtyard that offers an alternative space for the ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner or bridal brunch.

The Oceanfront Deck offers a sweeping view of the ocean and can be used as an open-air deck or with its heated custom-built tent. The 3,200-square-foot deck features a bandstand with a gazebo facing the water and its own cooking facility, ideal for lobster bakes or al fresco dining.

The Oceanside Pool Deck is a, offering direct access to the Inn’s dock. The deck is a tentable space that can accommodate banquets of up to 75 guests and receptions for groups of up to 150.

For specific wedding inquiries contact Cindy Mastrella at 207-633-4152 ext 628.
