Storymix Media – Changing the Way Wedding Videos are Made (Psst… You can win one NOW!)

Every wedding tells a story… from the song the bride and groom pick for their first dance as a married couple, to the flavor of cake they serve their wedding guests, to the car they hurriedly pull away from the reception in at the end of the night. It’s all about the details. If you ask any bride her wedding day, they will usually tell you the same thing, “It was the best day of my life, but I wish it didn’t go by so fast. I wish I could relive it and appreciate the little details!” Well, now you can… and you can relive it without breaking the bank. Introducing, Storymix Media…

Storymix is the fun and affordable wedding video alternative… and with packages starting at $99, you can make a wedding video that can fit into any budget.

A Candid Keepsake: How Storymix Media Works…

With friends and family using HD cameras they provide, you’re sure to capture the personal and candid moments of your wedding day through the eyes of your closest friends and family. You get to personalize the video online by picking the scenes as well as the captions and theme. It’s that easy! Storymix does the hard work and works their magic creating your custom video.  See an example of how great the results are from Kestrel and John’s recent wedding to Jamaica.

The best part?  Storymix is running a contest just for Weddzilla readers! You can win a $200 wedding video package! Simply head over to Storymix to enter!  But hurry, the contest ends on August 26 at midnight!

 

 


 

Say “YES” to Eco-Chic Couture Dresses & Accessories

Drezrehersal Tip…If you’re a Bride who takes great pride in caring for the environment then when planning your wedding you just might consider purchasing an Eco-Friendly Gown. Not just any gown, however  your very own custom couture gown. I know you’re probably thinking “Couture” usually comes with a high price tag. That’s not always the case and I’ll provide you a cost effective option to have your dream gown without paying the platinum price. Purchasing the bridal gown is a big step that takes careful thought, time & consideration. Of course most brides want their wedding gown to be like no other. Designing your own is often the way to go and pricing is comparable to purchasing one already made. So if you had the choice to spend the same  but guaranteed it’s a one of kind. What would you choose? And the bonus is you’re reaping the benefits of doing your part by saving the environment. “KUDOS”.

Eco-Chic Oh Yes…Reduce & Reuse. The key to an eco-friendly wedding that still exemplifies style. Focus on the 2 C’s Conscious & Conserve. Using accents or materials doesn’t just save money, it saves resources. What Does Eco-Friendly Really Mean? Environmentally Friendly (also eco-friendly, nature friendly and green) are synonyms used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal or no harm on the environment. To make consumers aware, environmentally friendly goods and services often are marked with eco-labels

Eco-Chic Couture by Gwendolyn Gleason. Gwendolyn creates custom made one of a kind gowns, dresses and accessories for the earth conscious Bride! Not exclusively Eco-Chic but, ALWAYS in natural fabrics & no polyester! Gwendolyn is setting a new trend for brides-to-be and making them chic fabulous not only in their wedding gown, but accessorizing simply gorgeous feathered hair veils ,feather fantasy birdcage veils and tying it off with organic sculptured belts using remnants from the Eco-Chic Couture production. Definitely for the bride who isn’t shy about being different. Eco-Chic gown, dresses and accessories are made from organic textiles & peace silk thru textile finishing. Mastering inspiration from the portraits and the turn of the century.  Anyone who is a designer knows this is where is starts.

The beautiful Calla Lily mermaid gown shown in the photo below  is made with layers of organic silk on the bias.  This couture gown is a popular dress and was inspired by a Vera Wang design. Gwendolyn designed the Calla Lily eco friendly gown  with  cotton mesh interlining and “ALL SILK LINING”. Now as an event producer, I can tell you that next to the invitations, your dress will be setting the tone for your special day. It wouldn’t be a  memorable moment without having that one of a kind gown. So, I have a special treat for all you Weddzilla Brides-to-Be.

Bonus Tip: Everyone has their own take on exactly what Eco-Friendly

is. We have been personally trained on the process and what counts as eco-friendly & green. We have also worked closely with the Green Council. Just because flowers & fruits grow from the ground doesn’t mean it is organic or natural! Many suppliers use un-natural solvents.
