Wedding Planning 101 Makes its Debut at Vocelles; The Bridal Shoppe

In an effort to make your life a little less hectic, Vocelles has created Wedding Planning 101 -- a series of FREE educational classes that are designed to help make the ins and outs of planning a wedding a little easier. We are teaming up with local wedding industry members and once a month have a class at the boutique to cover the most confusing aspects of your planning. From invitation wording and registering to bridesmaid duties and etiquette, we've got you covered.

Add some cocktails and snacks (free, of course!) and a bridesmaid or two and you've got yourself a lovely Brides Night Out, compliments of Vocelles :)

We has our first session last night and had so much fun. Adam and Michael from Titus Sports Academy were here educating and motivating all the ladies about fitness and nutrition and how to get in great shape before your wedding day. As Adam said, "a woman training for her wedding has the same intensity as a man training for the Navy Seals." So true.

Here is Adam sharing his extensive wisdom with the group:



We learned A LOT about the way our bodies work and what we need to focus on in order to be in the best shape for the big wedding day. Here are the key takeaways:

- Do NOT starve yourself. It's the absolute worst thing you can do and will cause you to gain more weight in the long run

- Some fat is good, especially when it comes to clear skin. Good fats include flax, fish, nuts, winter squash and olive oil

- Cutting all of anything (fats, carbs, etc..) out of your diet is bad. Balance is key

- Vitamin A is the best vitamin for clear skin, just make sure you get it in moderation as it can hurt your liver

- If you only have an hour to exercise, don't pace yourself. Go as hard as you can until you can't go anymore

- Don't try to focus on one specific part of your body while working out. It's important to work all muscle groups every workout for best results

Happy Training, and Happy Friday!
