Sweetchic Events Blog Gets a Facelift!

So remember when last Friday, I mentioned that my blog was undergoing an aesthetic overhaul? Well, within one short week of contacting Ellie of Rainy Day Templates, my blog has a new face! Remember my old, generic look? zZzZzzzz… So much white space!

It’s certainly eye-catching and vibrant now, eh? ;) And why all the polka dots? I just love ‘em, that’s why. There is something so sweet and kinda retro about polka dots! And I especially love the fact that I can now post BIG pictures!

I am not tech-savvy at all, so it was such a relief to work with Ellie… She made the process quick and painless, and managed my barrage of emails! I am so grateful that she took on my project considering the fact that she is moving to a new state next week!

Also, I need to give a shoutout to my friend Virginia of Tissue Blossom Designs (aka fellow Weddingbee blogger Mrs. Plumeria) who created my logo, and essentially, my branding! 

So now… I vow to blog consistently!

Blogging Tips from a Wedding Pro

Liene must have seen my last post on Feb 20 about bringing her Blogging Bootcamp to Chicago, because this past Tuesday I had the privilege of learning from one of the best in the wedding biz, Liene Stevens of Blue Orchid Designs, aka The Smart Planner. She  knows what she is talking about, and I truly admire her and her success at such a young age (she’s younger than me!!). I hope she hosts another workshop series about being a better wedding planner – I would be ALL over that! I have so much to learn…

Anyway, I can’t give away all the strategy she shared with us since people are paying good money for her blogging advice, but the one thing she engrained in my mind is that “consistency is key.” So obvious and yet… that, my friends, has been the downfall of my little blog!

So, starting next week, I am going to commit to three posts a week, and we’ll see how that goes. And with some major help from my friend Ellie of Rainy Day Templates, there will also be an aesthetic overhaul in the near future. I can’t wait to debut my new look! Stay tuned…

By the way, you might be wondering why I am back on Blogger (sorry, I know I keep flip flopping, blogger, xanga, and now blogger), but it’s because I’ve discovered Windows Live Writer! This will make blogging SO. MUCH. EASIER!!

Lastly, after learning about the value of Twitter in the wedding industry, I’ve hopped on the Twitter-wagon, follow me!!
