Facebook, Have You Gone too Far?
Everyone uses it and has even become addicted to it at some point. You can chat, search, like, and message your closest 500+ friends. Yes, I’m talking about Facebook. It is an awesome way to keep in touch with your friends, make announcements, and even promote your business. There is a thin line between fun, quirky posts, and just down right TMI. Announcing your engagement is super exciting and why wouldn’t you want everyone to know? It is what happens after the engagement, that some posts should just be left to yourself. Here is a list of wedding Facebook-ing don’ts:
-Don’t ask your future spouse for their hand in marriage through Facebook!
-Don’t ask your friends to be in the wedding party through Facebook.
-Don’t post photos of bridesmaid dresses/shoes/accessories/etc, unless you really don’t mind to hear honest opinions of people you don’t even know!
-Don’t make a status post directing guests to your wedding registry.
-Don’t post your wedding details for everyone to view through your profile. Not only might you have random people showing up to your wedding but you might hurt some feelings from those that never received a real invitation.
-Don’t use Facebook to invite guests to your wedding.
-Don’t ask for honeymoon tips and ideas before you actually get to discuss options with your fiancé.
-Don’t express negativity about your in-laws or other personal family issues through Facebook.
-Don’t forget to consult in a professional planner for your big day to combat all of the problem situations for you!

Meet Nicole!
Those of you who have already met Nicole know that she is not only a very conscientious Details staff member, but also is a kind and fun person to be around. Somehow, the two of us can usually find the silly side of a difficult situation!
I thought that you might enjoy getting to know a few of the Details staff members a little better, so here we go!
Name
Nicole Immel
Where you're from
Appleton, WI
Family situation
I've been married to my wonderful husband, Danny, for a year and a half and have a 13 week old chocolate lab, Digger. No kiddos yet :)
Your favorite aspect of event planning
My favorite aspect of planning is seeing the finished product and hearing from the bride and groom how amazing their day was. That makes it all worth it!
What you despise about event planning
Intense question! haha. The thing that isn't so pretty about event planning is when suppliers try to take advantage of you and/or your client and when they do not fulfill their promises. We need to be very upfront in some situations which sometimes makes us look like the bad guy, but it's all about the client and making sure they get the best service possible.
What your dream event would be/look like
I, as well as many other brides out there, like sparkle! I also love the warm summer months. My dream event would be in mid June, somewhere near a beach with a gorgeous white tent and a ton of candlelight and sparkle. The weather would be perfect - 75 degrees with NO wind! The tables would have tall, immaculate centerpieces on silver bling candelabras with lush floral - white hydrangeas, peonies, etc. All the tables linens would be swagged (multiple layers - a planners worst nightmare!), silver chiavari chairs with sashes, crystal goblets, and unique, fun dinnerware. The ceiling of the tent would have flowing, draped white fabric and a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the center. All of this, surrounded by my closest family and friends. :) Ahhh, the perfect evening.
In your opinion, what is the single greatest benefit to hiring Details
The best benefit to hiring Details is having a knowledgeable professional there to help you every step of the way. You save so much time, stress, and even money by hiring a professional to handle the planning process. With Details, you know the job will be done right.
What do clients stress about that is unnecessary and why
Clients most often stress about getting things done all at once or wanting to do them too far in advance. We keep you on track the entire time and will let you know if something needs attention.
If you were an animal you would be
I would definitely be a puppy...and this is probably only because I have one right now, but he has it pretty good! He is so loved - he can play all day, has a never ending bag of treats, and people want to see him all the time! He is spoiled rotten!
You're known for
Being OCD with keep things organized and tidy!
Your nickname is
Cole
Your favorite hobby or pastime is
Interior decorating and switching up looks in all of my rooms
If you could travel anywhere, it would be
Anywhere in the Caribbean!
If you could live anywhere, it would be
South/Central U.S. - where the warmer months last longer and winters aren't as cold!
Your favorite television show
Tie between Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Housewives of Beverly Hills/Orange County
Your favorite quote
Everything happens for a reason. This has held true in so many situations in my life..all which have been so obvious after they've happened.
Random bit of irrelevant information
(I love what I do. I love helping people plan the event of their dreams. It's so fulfilling to be acknowledged for the impact you made on someone. I was crazy for not hiring a planner for my own wedding. Looking back, I remember how stressed I was and how many little details I missed because I had too much on my plate. Being able to take that stress away from other clients is priceless.
