Budgeting 101: With CM Promotions

9/17/2020

 
​​Wedding Planning! So exciting, fun, and..... Stressful?
No matter how much you love the planning process most couples have never fully planned a
wedding before. Even if you have, odds are it hasn’t been many and as we all know every
wedding is as unique and as amazing as each individual couple.
SO where to start?
The first thing you need to get set before planning is your budget.
Yes, we are prepping to plan guys! Trust us though, this will help give you an outline to work with and to narrow your search for those professionals to bring your vision to life.

Why do I need a budget?
Brandon Jones Photography CM Promotions Wedding Planner
Well.... Everyone’s budget is unique and what is reasonable or expensive to you could be
completely different to those brides in your Facebook group that are giving you suggestions of
photographers that are “reasonable”. In addition, having a budget can help you stay on target
and in control of your wedding spending. The two problems we hear from couples in the
beginning of planning is that
1) “We have no idea how much a [planner] should cost! Is this a deal? Is it expensive?”
2) “How much of our budget should we spend on [floral]?

Planning 101: Stationery and Paper

9/3/2020

 

Stationery questions - Making it custom, personal and part of you vision

Do you ever feel at a loss for words? You have this great idea or picture in mind of what you are planning but when it comes down to putting it in action your mind goes blank. Now add on that stress of making it tie into your wedding vision and PHEW. It's enough to make anyone stare at a screen of options for hours and hours. 
Your invitations have a very important job.  They give those people who mean the world to you all the details to get to your day to celebrate and soak in the love. Your invitations alone let them know so much more than when and where, they also tell them the overall style of your wedding from color to how formal it may be and the tone of the day.

- Mr // Mrs Decor - 
Married or engaged they'll be a perfect touch

Week Three: Wedding Venue Giveaways

4/19/2020

 

Let's keep the fun going! 

Okay so our email gave you a little insight on what to plan for & expect so you can make sure you are ready to ROCK the fun & win some prizes! We have to say we have loved having you guys participate - couples, neighbors, family, local wedding pros you've all made it so much fun. If nothing else, we hope it's given you something to smile about and a reason to pause your show and tune out the stress. Even if it's just for a minute!
Picture
So this week we added in the Rehearsal Guide & Workbook. It's something our own Director put together to help you during planning. Especially if you don't have your planner present at your rehearsal it will help you feel confident & prepared. 

If we're being honest, it also helps you think through a lot of the smaller details to get them checked off.

We know not all of you may be planning a wedding  so don't worry we've still got the brewery card & coloring book for you too!

This week's bonus - 

Groom's cake or dessert (if you're not into cake we get it don't worry - we've got you!) in your choice of flavor. Now that is something SWEET! 
Same as the other bonus weeks - all it takes it having a tour now - the end of the month (video call of course!) and if we're the fit for you then you get this little extra with your date.

Week Two of Giveaways

4/11/2020

 

Week two means more goodies & more smiles.

Picture
Guys we did not forget about you! We get that a Jason Momoa coloring book may not be your thing... so instead we've got a gift card for a Denton local brewery in store! 
They've got much more than local brews if beer isn't your thing we're sure you can find something to spend it on in their relaxed vibe.

Plus after this Spring staying indoors we thought you may like a reason to get out somewhere to support a local small business too!

As for coffee... well who wouldn't want a little pick me up of caffeine? We know that you are all scattered around DFW and North Texas so thought Starbucks would be the safest bet for you no matter where you call home. 
Don't forget this is the last week to have your video call / tour to get that FREE ENGAGEMENT session! For more details on the specifics give us an email and we'll fill you in. It's pretty simple though, tour (via video call) this week & end up booking us this month and you get a 60-90 minute photo session with one of the talented photographers we get to work with! 

What Days & How to Win

So you want the inside scoop huh? 
We only get to share that with our friends who signed up for the emails so don't forget and go do it now! We send out a weekly release before anyone else gets to know, tell you which days to look and where. 

& we also send you the tips on what to do before it's ever announced so you can really get a heads up!
Don't miss out anymore - sign up HERE! 
Picture

Don't forget these don't include the things you can win from the local pros joining us! Watch our insta story & use the hashtags: #givehope #dentoneventpros to see theirs too.

Next week we've got some fun stuff but also Rehearsal Guide & Workbook that our team has put together to help you keep planning simple and (hopefully) a little less stressful! 
​
The bonus also changes next week so keep a lookout!

A Little More Details...

We are SO excited for this month. March was a hit to all of our normal routines so it's time for a mental change right? We have 3 different prizes this week that you can win directly from our team & we've got an awesome bonus if you tour with us (we've been rocking those video calls & tours so you can be comfy in your home!) . 

PLUS -- (we haven't announced this yet so don't give away our secret to the instagram world) but we've reached out to other North Texas // DFW Wedding Pros to help us spread smiles and #givehope so they will also be having some AMAZING giveaways. When they tag us letting us know they've posted the info we will share in our Insta-stories for you! So if you aren't following us be sure to change that NOW @hawthornhills. 

You can also try to find the wedding / event vendors that are part of it by using the hashtag #dentoneventpros - we asked them to use it to help you find them too!

This isn't going to be your typical "tag a billion friends" to enter - we're hoping that by joining on our mission to spread smiles you have fun and laugh a bit too. The prizes? Those are just bonus.

Okay, okay so the important things: WHEN & WHERE to look. 
If you haven't subscribed to our newsletter you're already missing out. Each week we will give a heads-up of what to expect and give some secret clues that won't be posted here & won't be shared on social media until it's ready to go live.

> If you set up a video tour you get an extra entry for ALL the prizes that week (as long as you've participated in the activity) in addition to qualifying for the BIG bonus - an engagement session AND big saving. Want more info? Contact our venue coordinator directly by clicking HERE.
Just let her know you want to set up a video tour & are participating in the MONTH of giveaways.

Week One

This week we're keeping it easy:
 - Check out our Instagram posts to officially enter 
     (pssst.... we'd try looking on Monday, Wednesday & Friday)
 ​- 
Insta Stories are where you can get ideas, laughs & more. 

So take a break from watching Tiger King, work meetings in your sweatpants & home schooling madness.

If you didn't sign up for the insider scoop then you missed the heads up to get started before anyone else. BUT IT'S OKAY. 
We've got you for next week just pop in your email here:
