Pink Diamond Events

03/10/2024

After a lot of soul searching over the last few weeks, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to take a temporary LOA from my business.

This decision was not made lightly. However, recent events have made me realize that I may have taken too much on. Not only am I assisting in three weddings this year, but I'm also beginning to plan my own. And because my own was added to my plate, I feel like I've been neglecting my 2024 brides, and that is never something I want to happen. Ever.

The three weddings I have booked for this year will NOT be affected by this hiatus, but until further notice, I will not be booking any more weddings for 2024 and possibly 2025.

Again, this decision was not made lightly. But I have to do what's best for my current brides, and for me. And right now, that's focusing on my three 2024 brides, and myself.

Thank you all for your understanding, and I promise...I'll be back after I tie the knot!

Much love,
-K 🩷

It's an odd turn of events when the coordinator needs to hire a coordinator. 🤣 Just found out the venue we chose doesn't offer one, so now I'm on the hunt!

Happy Monday, y'all! What are your plans for this week?

Two years ago today I coordinated my first wedding thanks to a very good photographer friend of mine.

It was a BIG ONE. A traditional Pakistani wedding, which lasts THREE DAYS. They only needed me for the first two, but it was definitely a deer-in-the-headlights, sink-or-swim moment for me.

Since then, I've done 4 additional weddings, and am already booking into 2024.

I didn't give Pink Diamond Events the attention it deserved this year. Between getting divorced, moving, and getting engaged, my life was chaos for the first 6 months of the year. But now that things are calming down, I'm back to throwing my all into building PDE!

When the coordinator gets engaged...all bets are off! 🤣

My boyfriend of almost a year proposed to me last night. At first I thought he was joking. When I realized he was serious, I immediately said yes and threw myself into his arms.

We both left extremely toxic marriages, and both said we never wanted to get married again. We had no problem making a lifetime commitment, but didn't want the legal aspect considering everything we went through during our respective divorces.

Well, how things change!

This man is EVERYTHING. Everything my ex-husband wasn't, and so much more. I never knew a love like this existed, and I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with him. 💛

But y'all, send him help...because as a coordinator, I'm about to obsess over EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL.

I think the coordinator is gonna need a coordinator! 🤣

Phrases that should be immediately retired:

* "Reasonably priced"
* "Won't cost an arm & a leg"
* "Budget-friendly"
* "Affordable"
* "Won't break the bank"

These terms are vague and overused. They are also open to interpretation and don't effectively communicate someone's needs.

Instead...

Be specific about your budget or ideal price range. This will help you connect with people or products who are a good match. There is nothing wrong with being upfront about your finances and expectations. There is someone/something for every budget, so just say what that is so we (the vendors) can serve you better.

This was such a fun little wedding! It was the first wedding I've done where I wasn't present for the rehersal, but everything went off without a snag.

Killian and Vance are such a fun couple, and that was definitely felt during their wedding, especially their first dance, where they spent most of it laughing with each other.

Congratulations, Killian & Vance! I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

First wedding of the year!

HUGE shout out to Jesse at Crabby Cakes for this amazing cake for my boyfriend's niece's birthday tomorrow!

While she didn't bake the cake (it's store bought), she did the design. And on such short notice too...literally messaged her Wednesday about this. 🤣

Seriously y'all, if you're in need of cookies or a cake, shoot her a message and tell her I sent you!

Not gonna lie...I don't always like photos of me when they're taken by other people.

Buuuut...this photo from a wedding I did last August is 🤌 probably one of my faves!

I will be unavailable to messages & calls for the rest of the day.
I'm at the ER with my boyfriend.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

As of yesterday I am officially divorced. To say that it was emotional is an understatement. Unfortunately, I am more relieved than sad. My marriage was over emotionally long before it was over legally.

But my love for weddings hasn't changed. Although I will not likely marry again, I will continue to throw my all into each and every wedding I'm hired to coordinate. I still believe in true love and happily ever after, and feel nothing but joy for my couples on their big day.

That being said...I'm thinking about adding divorce parties to my services. 🤣

And no, I don't mean drinking Starbucks 🤣 Although that's what my boyfriend seems to think lol.
I've got my first wedding of *2024* booked & met with my bride for the first time today!

This is the first wedding where I will be doing a lot of planning with the bride, not just handling day-of logisitcs, and I'm so excited!

01/16/2023

I think this is a fantastic idea, and I plan on encouraging all my future couples to do this!

Your day is so hectic. There's no need to rush right to your reception and greet your guests. They already know who you are and why they're there. Take a few minutes with your new spouse and just soak it all in.

Now I, of course, love weddings & planning/coordinating them. It's my passion.

BUT...as someone going through a divorce, I find this HILARIOUS!
Hmm...maybe I should add divorce parties to my list of services. 🤔

Best divorce cake EVER 😂

*Edit* This cake does not signify the break up of a family, just a couple. It was meant to be funny! Please, have a sense of humor when looking at this photo! Otherwise, just keep scrolling 😉

*Edit #2…. It’s really sad that I have to even defend a photo of a stinking cake!!! Lighten up folks, it’s not that serious!!! With love- Carol❤️

*Edit 3…. My first official cake to go viral!!! When I posted my first event of the year last weekend and said I couldn’t wait to see what 2023 holds for me, this isn’t what I expected, but I’ll take it ❤️ Thank you for all the sweet comments and love! I’m just a girl that makes cakes to take care of my sweet little family and put smiles on peoples faces!!!
