My Fair Wedding with David Tutera Finale!

Well, she is back for the FINALE!!  That's right, my mom's work is going to be featured AGAIN on "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera"!  How exciting is that??

This week's episode is the "Greek Goddess Bride" and mom did her table numbers, seating cards and her famous seating board - which we HOPE will actually be SHOWN in this episode!  I so wish that I was up on Long Island with mom to celebrate with her.  I mean, this is BIG.  She hasn't received any calls or orders from these shows yet, but she recently updated her website to include the pictures from the Purple Princess Bride episode and when she does wedding shows around the island, her signage and advertising will all include this wonderful achievement.  

SO PROUD!

Actually, it's funny because here in North Carolina, they do not do weddings like they do up in New York so I cannot even try and be the Printing with Panache South part of her business because it just wouldn't fly here.  I'm kind of bummed about that because what she does is just so cool.  If we were still living up there, I would totally want to be working with her - she's just completely creative.


So tonight at 10 p.m. be sure to tune in to the finale of "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" and watch and listen for him to mention Printing with Panache and remember, hey, that's Stace's mom!!!

My Fair Wedding with David Tutera...Here's What was Missing

So if you remember, my mom did some work for "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" and the first episode aired about two weeks ago.  We were all so excited and watched the episode of the Purple Princess Bride on the edge of our seats.  Now my mom had done a rather exquisite seating board, programs and menus.  As we watched the episode we noticed some issues.

On the plus side, David Tutera slowly spoke the name of my mom's company and showed off the menus - which were lovely.  Then...well, we were disappointed.  After mom had printed up all of the programs the show called her and told her that the bride and groom had CHANGED THEIR NAMES!!  I'm serious, they changed their names.  Their FIRST names.  Okay, whatever, so the programs were not used in the episode (or at least they were not shown).  As much as the camera scanned the entire reception area, the seating board was never shown either.  This was most perplexing because this was the item that Mr. Tutera's people GUSHED over. 


Needless to say, mom was devastated and called the people at the show to find out what went wrong.  Apparently, there comes a point in post production that things are taken out of their hands and this was one of them.  Who knew?  So, to give her the attention that she truly deserves, here are some pictures of mom's work for My Fair Wedding and the Purple Princess Bride (compliments of photographer Jennifer Roper):

 The name of mom's business is Printing with Panache.  She is located on Long Island but as you can see from this particular wedding which was held in California, she can ship stuff anywhere!

My Fair Wedding with David Tutera

Can I just say that my mom ROCKS!  She has this business up on Long Island that she started herself several years ago.  She does invitation, calligraphy, wedding/party favors, seating charts, menus, programs...essentially, everything that you would need printed up for a large party or wedding.

Well, about two months ago she was contacted by WEtv's "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" about doing some work for one of their episodes!  How cool is that??  So she did a seating chart, programs and menus (I think) for an episode called "The Purple Princess Bride".  A couple of weeks after she sent them her stuff, they contacted her AGAIN about doing more work for them for their FINALE episode!  Again, way cool.  So she does her magic and "Voila!" off it goes.


Tonight at 10:00 pm on WEtv, the "Purple Princess Bride Episode" is going to air!  YEAH!!  Now, she (my mom) is not actually "in" the episode, her work will be showcased and her name and company (Printing with Panache) will be mentioned by David Tutera himself during the episode AND she will get free advertising on the show's website.  Since she doesn't get paid for the work she did for the episode's, it's the free advertising that can really lead to a big payoff.  After all, it is a really big coupe to be part of a nationally syndicated TV show and get a spot on their website!  Needless to say that I am hoping that her phone will be ringing off the hook come Monday morning.

So if you are just sitting around tonight around 10:00 with nothing to do, check your local listing for WEtv and "My Fair Wedding with David Tutera" and catch a look at my mom's awesome stuff!
