Planning your Tallahassee Area Wedding

Please allow me to take this opportunity to say Best Wishes To You and Your Fiancee!! What a wonderfully exciting season for you!

Yes! There are so many details to do, and at first it all seems completely overwhelming, but it really doesn't have to be. Just break it down into bite-size to-do's!

The easiest way to seamlessly accomplish a large project is to chunk it out, bite-by-bite. You can do it!

For your convenience we've provided a basic timeline for planning your wedding. Have fun, pop the champagne and tweak as necessary. 
9 to 12 Months Before Wedding

* Set up a realistic wedding budget.

* Decide on a desired wedding date.

* Pick the location for your wedding ceremony and reception, pick your officiant, caterer, then synchronize these dates to be certain that your officiant, caterer and reception site have not already been booked for another event on that date.  Once the dates are determined, reserve them with a small deposit.

* Now it's time to celebrate your news with engagement parties, photos and announcements.

* Choose attendants.

* Begin shopping for dress and accessories.

6 to 9 Months Before Wedding

* Begin compiling guest list.

* Shop for wedding rings.

* Purchase dress and schedule fittings.

* Order invitations, announcements and thank-you notes.

* Select baker, photographer/videographer, florist, entertainment for ceremony and reception.

* Finalize wedding menu

* Book transportation service to/from ceremony and reception.

Kathi Wins Writing Award

Canopy Rose owner, Kathi Dameron has won the 2nd Place Award in the Newspaper Article Category at the 2008 Southern Christian Writer's Conference in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for her article, Simple Act of Sharing Food Can Truly Bring People Together. This article appeared in the Northeast Chronicle - Tallahassee Democrat during the spring of 2008 in the Entertaining with Kathi column.

Grand Prize Winner In Cooking Contest

The year was 1987 when Kathi Dameron, a passionate gourmet cook who spent her days teaching 32 second graders, and her weekends hosting fun parties for her circle of friends at her waterfront home on Florida's North Hutchinson Island, won two prizes in the first cooking contest she ever entered. One of these prizes was the coveted Grand Prize. At that moment Kathi knew that one day in the not too distant future her special dream to launch her very own catering company would be realized. Seven years later that day arrived with the birth of Canopy Rose in Florida's Capital City in 1994.
