Dear Beautiful Bride,
Have you been dreaming of your wedding since you were a little girl?
Did your Barbie™ get married every week in her Princess Diana dress and drive away in her white convertible to the Dream House?
Do you have BIG IDEAS not only for your wedding but for the rest of your life?
I can make them all come true.
My name is Ciara Daykin of www.fireflyoccasions.com and you see I love to plan weddings. I travel the world researching them, I’ve met celebrity wedding planners David Tutera, Preston Bailey and Colin Cowie, my wedding advice ezine is subscribed to by over 6000 brides, I coach over 1500 wedding planners internationally on how to grow their businesses, I’ve been featured on television, radio and in national newspapers, I’ve had my weddings and articles featured in magazines, and helping brides realize their dreams makes me absolutely, utterly happy.
And together we can embark on the most amazing wedding journey that any bride has ever taken.
What if the ENTIRE world could help you plan your wedding??
What if you had access to an abundance of ideas and services?
What if everyone knew who you were and they were all excited about YOUR wedding? Excited to see YOUR dreams come true. Supporting you each step of the way.
I’m not talking about an ordinary bride blogging about her wedding or a couple of anonymous posts on a wedding forum.
They would know YOU, YOUR story and YOUR unique dreams.
We are in the midst of one of the greatest times in history. A time when we can instantly reach people across the globe through our computers. We’re all on facebook, msn, twitter and lots of other various online social communities. But are we really HELPING each other?
I had a BIG IDEA. That if I asked for help in finding you that I would.
And here you ARE!
I’m so excited!!
We’ve got a lot of planning to do together, but first let me tell you what the deal is….
I’ve put together PlanetPlansWedding.com because I wanted to find 3 wedding couples who had BIG dreams and BIG ideas (just like me). You could be from anywhere in the world but you are far from ordinary.
You’re looking for wedding ideas that are:
• Exclusive
• Elite
• Distinctive
• Rare
• Completely trendsetting
And you’re definitely not shy. You’ve got something to say to the world and you want to say it LOUD and in a BIG way! You’ve got a message, a purpose, a cause and you’ve been looking for a platform from which to launch.
PLUS you want everyone to know how in love you are!
You want the celebration to end all celebrations. When you think weddings
you think of:
• Princess Diana
• Grace Kelly
• Jacqueline Kennedy
But how could you get all this just from your wedding??
PlanetPlansWedding.com has been formed to show the world that in this digital decade if you ask for help you will get it. And I’m asking the online community using Web2.0 and social networking to help plan your wedding!
I know! Isn’t it cool??
This isn’t going to be like sifting through tons of blogs to find an idea that might suit you. All of the ideas will be submitted to my team. We will blog about a lot of them but you get to choose from ALL of them!!
Things that the wedding world has never seen before, concepts that hatch over blog comment conversations, new vendors discovered through facebook, ideas that are furiously twittered about.
There are no geographical boundaries when it comes to your wedding because…
You Will Be Bride 2.0
You’re heard of Web2.0 right? It’s all those cool social networking tools out there like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Digg (and the list goes on). Never have we been so connected!!!
And sure there are people out there putting up random urls on people’s facebook walls to check out their products but that’s either overwhelming or just annoying. This is a movement, to bring the best of the best of the Web2.0 community together to not only provide you with wedding ideas but also to make you an internet celebrity.
Eee!!! I said it!!! An internet celebrity!
So as the world watches you plan your nuptials and eagerly anticipates your wedding day they will be getting to know you through those cool Web2.0 tools that I was talking about.
It’ll start when we introduce you to them (And we’ve all been looking for you with a goal of finding you within 30 days so we’re going to be pretty excited to meet you!!).
My team will not only plan your wedding but we’ll also manage your internet presence. We’ll help you make a BIG SPLASH in the online world and who knows what could happen!!!
We’ll be documenting the whole project
which you’ll get to keep as a memento of your experience.
There will be:
- Online video journal of the planning
process (it’ll be an online reality TV
show)
- Blog radio interviews
- Podcasts
- Articles written about you
- And your actual wedding will be streamed
LIVE to everyone on PlanetPlansWedding.com
If you’ve had thoughts of stepping into the spotlight before,
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE FOR GREATNESS!!!
Not only will you have a wedding that is watched by the world, ideas and product suggestions from around the globe, a personal wedding planning team to coach you through the process you’ll be able to do ANYTHING after your wedding.
People wait all their lives to figure out the right time to step into their greatness. To live a life of purpose and to show the world that they are spectacular.
Have you been waiting?
Have you been searching for this??
When you thought of your wedding did you see it as the beginning of the rest of your fabulous life?
Well this is it!!! I’ve been waiting for you!
I will help you plan the most spectacular, phenomenal wedding.
There’s more to tell you… as we conduct this project we’ve also got a worldly plan in mind.
The more and more we showcase certain Web2.0 tools, experts and wedding products and services we are hoping the more it will stimulate the economy. We want everyone to be so excited and inspired by this project that consumers start supporting the businesses that are supporting us in finding you and planning your wedding.
I just want to let you know that I can’t guarantee that your entire wedding will be donated or sponsored. But we have already had a bunch of sponsorship offers and this project is only going to grow. The more you promote the project and get the word out the more wedding vendors hear about it and offer to donate or sponsor the wedding of Bride 2.0. We’re working very hard to find you an amazing team of wedding professionals. I can tell you that you will have a spectacular wedding with my help. I’ll assist you in finding the vendors, venues and products that perfectly compliment your personality and style.
And we don’t have a traditional wedding team formed. Here are some of the people that will be helping you with your wedding, with your journey into this new life as Bride 2.0:
- Bonnie Hutchinson of Soul Power Wisdom will assist you with energy sessions. She will coach you through the intense emotions that soon to be brides and grooms feel. Going from single to married is a big transition and in tribal cultures there are many rituals around this to help the couple. In modern society this transition isn’t acknowledged as much. Bonnie will help you with powerful sessions to stay centered and focused as we plan your wedding.
- Laura Roeder of Roeder Studios is an online presence facilitator. She helped Brea Grant, who plays Daphne on NBC’s Heroes, leverage the web to become a fan favorite. Because this project is all about establishing an online presence for you Laura will show you how to tweet on twitter and the etiquette of facebook.
- Simon Daykin of Gutsy Groom will be helping your groom through this process. Simon is a groom stylist and he’ll give your groom advice on how to make a big impact in the wedding world. He’s also the Atmospheric Designer for Firefly Occasions (and my awesome husband). We design all our events together and we can’t wait to design yours with you.
- Lisa Manyon of Write On wrote all the press releases for this project and she’ll be writing them about you and your wedding telling the world what you’re up to and why you’re our newsworthy Bride 2.0
- Elizabeth Potts Weinstein of The Wealth Spa is a pro- twitterer and master blogger. She’ll be helping to spread the word and making sure that our blog is always up and running. I’m sure she’ll be posting some video for you with tips on managing your budget.
- Maggie Keenan of Giving Advice knows how to give. She’ll be helping you give back to the world by facilitating the PlanetPlansWedding Foundation which will be accepting online gifts on your behalf for donation to kiva.org a 3rd world micro lending organization that assists entrepreneurs in 3rd worlds receive loans to grow their businesses and employee individuals in their communities
And ME! Ciara Daykin, The Event Choreographer. Your lead wedding planner in your adventure as Bride 2.0. I will be your one on one coach for all things wedding. I’ll be helping you sift through all your options so that together we can create a magical storybook wedding which will unfold before all the world to see. My team and I will take care of everything for you from your wedding showers, your rehearsal dinner, to your wedding week activities and of course your wedding day. Any advice, coordination or assistance that you need we will provide it for you. We’ll travel anywhere in the world for you!
Now you’re probably thinking that this sounds like the experience of a lifetime? I can tell you that it definitely will be.
This planning and publicity package is valued at $100,000.00 US!!
But if I just let every single engaged person in the world apply to be Bride and Groom 2.0 I’d have a bit of a riot on my hands.
This opportunity is limited to only Web 2.0 Brides and Grooms.
The 3 questions you MUST answer and upon which your submission will be judged (remember that we're looking for Bride and Groom 2.0 so we want to hear as much about your online antics as possible):
1) How did you meet? (online gaming community? Introduced by an online friend? Did you talk online forever then graduate to talking on skype?)
2) How did he/she propose? (did you know you were engaged when he changed his status on facebook?)
3) What makes you Bride/ Groom 2.0? Tell us how web 2.0 tools have been a part of your love story. (did he twitter you so much at work you couldn't concentrate? Are you sending all your invitations via facebook? Have you had a long distance relationship filled with personalized youtube videos and skype?)

- We will choose the finalists based on who we think would inspire and entertain the world the most. We want brides and grooms that will pull on the emotional heartstrings of the world, couples that have a story so entertaining that people will laugh out loud and get in trouble at work, engaged individuals that are so interesting that people will be twittering and facebooking about them all day
- After the initial cut has been made we’ll let the planet vote on the finalists. We’ll post your stories, pictures, videos up on the blog and people will vote on who will be our choice for Bride and Groom 2.0. You can create facebook groups to convince people to vote for you, you can twitter about it, create youtube videos to increase your following, call everyone you know on Skype and tell them to vote.
