Get the Vendor you want, go Social!
February 29, 2012
Poetry Booths knows that obtaining the right vendor for your wedding or event can be no easy task. Thankfully times have changed and reaching out with the touch of your iPhone or laptop makes the never ending list of vendors shorter! Long gone are the days when lugging the giant Yellow Pages book around the house marking off each business from a chord phone was the only way to go.
Now all you have to do is just "Google" it, add a little social media to the mix and your fairytale might as well be re-written for Cinderella herself!
As part of the wedding community we see brides desire to get the best rates, secure their dates and want to know most importantly what others say about the person or company they are interested in hiring. So here's our advice for you to see how to book with us, your event planner and florist! Sometimes being aware of your options is just as important as being a year ahead in planning, but trust us, BOTH makes things a lot easier!
Book with Social Media!
Many of us use Facebook more often then we use our work email! The great opportunity with Facebook is that it allows businesses like us to reach out to you on a more personal level. For Poetry we instantly are aware when you like or comment on our photos, blog or deals! It makes us not only excited but proud to have you like our booth as much as we do! So our advice is to keep updated with your wall and favorite brands, products and vendors on Facebook. Our deals are real and we do reach out to those customers who listen! Take a look at our Facebook to not just like us but here what we have to say. All our information is geared towards your wedding or event experience, planning and attending!
What does a tweet mean to you? Well for starters it can keep you updated on a lot of big news and updates that also include little tips, hints, discounts and giveaways from your favorite companies! So every celebrity, organization and business is ON Twitter 24/7, but that's too much for you? If social media is "scary" or overwhelming on TOP of your darn checklist or crazy post it note life, we have a solution. Start a Twitter account for your use only. You might not tweet or jump in the conversation but that is ok. Instead, follow the businesses, people, or websites that can help you with your planning or daily life. For instance, you like Poetry Booths and want to get an exclusive deal you may choose to select us as your premiere event rental or photographer on your followers. If you have question or need a date, you can @mention us and we WILL write you back!
Deals on Blogs and Wedding Websites
Many vendors are listed on various wedding sites such as Style Me Pretty, Style Unveiled, The Knot, Green Wedding Shoes, Bridal Tweet, 100 Layer Cake and of course, Wedding Chicks.
Like many in the wedding community we use these sites as an opportunity to reach out to you on a larger avenue and to allow past clients to leave feedback and information on forums and comments as well. We showcase our work on sites such as Wedding Chicks, their blog allows us to leave "Sweet Real Deals" and up to date information to keep you informed as you search and sift for who and what you are looking for.
We also use blogs to highlight and represent our deals and voice. Our digital photo booth is truly a unique experience at your wedding and we know everyone is on a budget. Therefore, vendors like us post our discounts throughout our weekly posts to remind you what offers we have to suit your needs!
Securing your Dates!
Whether you love us or just plain NEED our photo booth for your event, we must remind you that booking in advance can be much more accomodating then trying to secure our services days before. We recommend using our website or other vendors as well to find the most proactive source of information and contact us immediately. We also advise you to email any of your vendors if you have questions or just give us a call! For Poetry Booths we have also signed up with Eventipity, simply sign up and see the available dates we have discounted especially for you. Check to see if our booth is available on your date!

Something Blue...
January 17, 2012
We are all about inspiration in the wedding community. Although we are a photo booth and not your event coordinator or shoe store, we still LOVE finding objects for your most important day. Blue- being our signature color is calming, bold, and yet vintage and new all at the same time. Thus, for our ultimate pick we decided to highlight this decadent color of choice.
Modes of Inspiration:
Sometimes all you need is one image that captures your eye, its kinda like Poetry.
How to Choose the Color Theme for Your Wedding from The Wedding Guide.com
Choose a color that is in your "taste" and something you like
From Wedding-Flowers-Guide.com, reflect upon the flowers you desire
Test out Bridesmaids dresses for a determining color palette such as David's Bridal.com
Winter? Summer? Choosing the colors of your wedding to fit the seasons
Bridal Magazines- Maybe you wouldn't wear that Haute Couture piece, but the "look" might be a step in the right direction
Poetry adds, choose a color based on the style and mood you hope to bring at your event. Whether it is quirky and fun-loving, or intense and romantic, there are many different options for you both to decide upon.
The Knot.com: Wedding Colors
Want a thorough and relevant link that will really get your blood pumping with excitement? Well The Knot.com of course! Go to their "Wedding Colors" section. Then select your keen color of choice! Here we selected "blue"... then browse their collection of boards!
We found two palettes from around the web that we enjoyed for our blue hues:
Have the color but not the dress?
Use Bride.com's Dressing Room and Beauty Salon . Discover what key elements will tie into your special day by virtually trying them on!
Don't forget about your Groom!!
How to Choose the Perfect Tux by The Wedding Channel.
The Reception
"Create a Stylish Unique Wedding Reception" from Tips on Life & Love.
Remember, Poetry Booths can add a hue of color in any tone to your special day. Not just that we are your true blue photo booth, but more so, because we will make you the blushing bride that your day deserves the most!
The Final Touches:
Add a "pop" of color in a subtle way to go with your theme! (Now maybe don't wear them all at once!)
Nails...
Eyes
Shoes
Earrings
And after you are whisked away by your prince charming... head off to a place of relaxation and blue waters to enjoy your honeymoon.
We hope your day is as bright and beautiful as You!
With Love,
Poetry
