Fun Floral Trends

Lately we've spotted some creative alternatives to traditional wedding flowers. Switching out bouquets or centerpieces for these fun options is a great way to personalize the look of your wedding. Not only can this be a fun DIY project, but they also make great keepsakes from your big day. Some of our favorites are pictured below:

Clockwise from upper left: 1. Tissue paper blooms are versatile and can be used for arrangements and almost any decor 2. Paper flowers offer an unlimited variety as you can choose between prints, solids and textures 3. The "Brooch Bouquet" is a great way to incorporate family heirlooms and adds a perfect vintage touch 4. Balsa wood flowers go great with rustic styling, but can easily be updated with modern touches such as bright feathers (All images from Etsy)

Simple Elegance

Here are the pictures from Lillian and Chad Erie's beautiful wedding at the Lawn at Pearly White Properties in Sea Grove Beach. The Eventful Planner provided the coordination and catering at the reception. This simple, yet elegant wedding was a lot of fun and everyone had a great time!

Tips for Making Guests Part of Your Destination Wedding

When inviting guests to a destination wedding, it is important to inform them of details and to make sure that they feel included. Here are some tips to help you make out-of-town guests part of your special day:

-Once you set a date, be sure to send your guests save the date cards so that they have adequate time to make travel plans.

-Create a wedding website using a source such as www.theknot.com or Google’s new wedding site. This is an easy way to help familiarize guests with details of the wedding.

-Provide out-of-town guests with information regarding local lodging, transportation and attractions. They should also be given an itinerary including your rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception or any other planned activities.

-If you know where your guests are staying, arrange to have a gift bag or similar favor waiting in their room upon their arrival.

Keeping your guests informed of details will cut down on confusion closer to the wedding, and will help your planning stay stress free. Congratulations and good luck with planning your big day!

I do.....does my dog too?

More and more of my clients are including their pets in the big day! I am a dog lover (three of my own) so this is one trend that I am totally loving!! If you want to include your four legged friend in your festivities then go for it. A cute doggie stepping in for a flower girl or ringbearer is super trendy and a fun way to include mans best friend.
