Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for your Groom | Colorado Springs Weddingplanner

Calling all brides!!!! Do you know what your getting your soon to be groom for the big V day?!?!?!? Either you are filled with excitement as you already have the perfect gift planned or you are like me and dreading all the days leading up to it till you find that perfect gift. Well look no further....SVE is here to help!

Here is what would be on my "idea" board for my hubby if we were to being getting married. Yes we are already married (10 years in fact) but I'm sure he wouldn't mind a few of these gifts!

1. Personalized Cuff Links
Red Envelope has personalized cuff links where you can put a special message on a scroll to give your mate before he walks down the aisle. 












2. Personalized Shirt
Buying your soon to be groom a personalized shirt to wear under his tux or suit is a small detail that will last a lifetime! Buying that special brand or type of shirt, having it personalized with initials will make him feel that much more comfortable on the big day!

3. Shaving Accessories
What would be better than having your groom have a soft kissable face on your wedding day? Give your groom to be his own personal shave kit or a gift certificate to a custom shave! (My husband has always said he wants a custom shave, so that is top on my list!)

4. Couples Massage
So many times grooms give their soon to be wife a massage so they can relax on the days prior to the big event. But why not have him join in on the massage. Relax together and truly enjoy the experience of unwinding and the bliss of soon to be marriage. Mateo's Day Spa has amazing spa packages that I have taken advantage of numerous times.



5. Add a little bling to his attire on the big day! Not only will this gift be worthwhile on the wedding day, but for many other days after. When putting this gift on daily or just or special events he will always think of you. 


































6. Boudoir Photos
While this is not my cup of tea (way too shy!!) some brides are outgoing and would love to do this. There are so many tasteful pictures one can take that will truly impress your groom to be! 












Hope these items help you find that perfect gift!

The details on Colorado bridal show | Wine & Nosh 2013 | Colorado Springs wedding planner

Ooh bridal show season is in full swing!! Haven't you been hearing about them on the radio? This one is giving away a entire wedding and that one has discounts galore! Well I am here to tell you about ONE more! :) We aren't giving away an entire wedding but we have an amazing line up of events planned!

Wine & Nosh 2013 is a unique approach to the bridal show world. Three years ago when we did the first Wine & Nosh you didn't see many other bridal shows like this! What's so different you ask? You will not walk in and see 8ft tables squeezed against the wall with no room in between. Vendors will not be jumping out from behind their table with their sales car approach, but instead we invite you to come and relax in a inviting atmosphere. The vendors selected for this event were hand picked and chosen with great care in regards for the atmosphere of the event. We hope you enjoy meeting them as much as I have enjoyed working with all of them! They truly are all FABULOUS!!! 

Besides the inviting atmosphere we welcome you to come sip on a glass of wine, enjoy a little nosh (definition: to eat a small snack) and see a spectacular fashion show put on by the Castle Rock bridal boutique Wedding Treasures. In addition to the fashion show we will have flair bartenders from Peak Beverage showing off their bartender skills (or acting like Tom Cruise in Cocktail!!!!), throwing up bottles and glasses for all to see. How cool would that be to have at your own wedding?

Raffle drawings will take place throughout the night for all attending brides with chances to win free attire, photography deals, entertainment discounts and so much more! There are so many artistic and talented vendors participating in the show that you just need to come and see for yourself! 

You don't want to miss this amazing bridal show in Albert's Lodge at the beautiful Spruce Mountain Ranch on February 9 at 4pm. Please RSVP to Sarah@sarahvieraevents.com for your spot. First 50 brides will receive a gift bag full of goodies and a bottle of wine to take home!!!!

Colorado Springs wedding planner | **BIG** news!

We have BIG and EXCITING news here at Sarah Viera Event Planning & Design! (SVE). Where to begin? Well we are getting ready for another exciting wedding season ahead of us. Last year ended on a high note and we couldn't be happier with the brides and clients we worked with! Each of them were fantastic in their own special way and I truly enjoyed providing my services for them! Not only did SVE coordinate weddings, bridal showers, and engagement parties, but we also ventured to the Corporate world and did a Holiday and New Years Eve party. Couldn't be happier with how 2012 ended! 

For 2013 we have our books full again! (Yay!!!!-me jumping up and down right now). While we still have a few open dates on the books left we are looking to have yet another busy summer and fall wedding season. SVE gets to head to some amazing Colorado venues and we couldn't be happier with where the job takes us! 


Another **BIG** and exciting adventure for SVE was a revamp in branding. While I still love my original branding, I wanted something new and fresh! I wanted to incorporate SVE into the brand so clients (and myself) don't feel like they have to say the full name of Sarah Viera Event Planning & Design. It can be a little long at times, especially when on the phone and letting people know who I am! So here it is....

  
Thoughts? Do you love? I do!!! Its so clean and simple and well....me! Thank you to The Tiny Cottage for designing! With re branding comes re-doing everything! I am so thankful to have my amazing designer/assistant Michelle on board. She has been great with helping update materials and is so willing to take a bigger role in SVE this coming year. Look for Michelle at weddings, stop by and say hello to her as she is a huge asset to SVE! On another note SVE may be growing by one more...someone else who wants to get into the wedding industry and was a former client. So like I said **BIG** things to come in 2013. 

And one final **BIG** news announcement...SVE is actually growing by one more and not in the terms of more assistants! We are expecting our very own Viera Bebe! We couldn't be happier and are excited to expand the Viera Family!
