Photo Credit: Good Eats & Meets Wedding traditions of yesteryear are making their way out the back door. Couples are grabbing hold to the idea of making it truly about them and their personality. Just off the cusp of the royal wedding and celebrity nuptials, brides and grooms are going against the grain and adding their own unique twist into their special day. You will see a lot of new wedding

You've seen couples dance down the aisle of the ceremony to Men in Black, the entire bridal party flash mob dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and now we have Marryoke! What’s this new phenomenon you ask? Marryoke is a play on the word karaoke but the participants are lip-syncing to create a very entertaining video of their entire wedding day. Sounds cheesy I know, but from the looks of it the

If you're looking for a way to add a major "wow" factor to your reception, try hanging centerpieces... from the ceiling that is! Your guests will be mesmerized as they witness these magical beauties just hanging in thin air. Before you fall deeply in love with this idea make sure that your venue has the right type of ceiling to support such a structure. With careful planning with your florist and

Petronella (Peetie) and Brad were a fun couple and great clients. They wanted their wedding to be fun, sexy and elegant. We tried to incorporate all three elements in to this Sunday afternoon wedding that started with a welcome reception for their guests. The bride is originally from Zimbabwe so we incorporated African dancing at the reception provided by Shae Movements. The couple also had a

This wedding was a fun and exciting event to plan. The couple wanted a modern day Harlem Renaissance themed wedding and I was thrilled to be involved. Their ceremony was at 8 o'clock in the evening and they partied into the New Year with a black-tie cocktail reception in the original 1920's ballroom of the Carolina Inn. All of the vendors that played a key role in executing this grand affair

Any chance I get to mix different patterns I go for it. If you are going to mix patterns why not do it with colors that are fun and vibrant. Yellow with accents of Gray and Black create an exciting whimsical combination. You have no choice but to be happy!

When I plan a wedding, my only wish for the couple is that they will have a long lasting marriage filled with happiness and bliss. I had the honor of planning a small anniversary lunch for a couple who has been together for 46 years. All I can say is WOW! Their advice was to have lots of patience...lots. Stand up for what you believe, but don't sweat the small stuff. You have to know which

It was with great excitement to plan this party for Miss Sydney who was turning 13 and her teenybopper friends. Although I am just blogging about this party, it happened last July. My goal was to keep it fun and fresh. This was a desserts only party with an ice cream sundae bar by Coldstone Creamery. We also had a chocolate fountain with lots of dipping options. For place settings, I translated

It was a pleasure working with Shantika and Damian on their early Fall wedding. Their colors of burnt orange and latte brown really set the tone for the season. It was absolutely stunning. I would like to personally thank all of the vendors involved.

 NYE Harlem Renaissance Soiree Invitation When this couple told me that they wanted a Harlem Renaissance themed wedding I knew that I had to find just the right invitations to match their soiree. The Invite Site had exactly what I was looking for in the DIY Valentina design. This package included a red velvet gate fold wrap handmade in India, and a champaign pearlescent 105 lb cardstock. I

When you invite guests to your event, you should make a point to add some sort of favor to your overall budget. Giving a favor provides your guests with a token of your appreciation for attending your event. If you do decide to give a favor, make it something unique. It can go with the theme of your event. It can be seasonal, eco-friendly, or even more special a do-it-yourself favor. It should

If you want to have a cool and unique event that everyone is going rave about, you have to start with a cool and unique invitation. People are starting to think beyond the envelope and get really creative with the way they invite guests to their event. Invitations are the first impression guests make about your event. So make it a good one!  Below are some very unique invitations.  Puzzle in

Turquoise & Golden Rod are rich colors that remind me of the Mediterranean. These romantic colors, combined with ivory can create an awesome ambiance for any event.

When creating your guest list, separate them into two different categories. Your A list would include your very important (this event would not be the same, if they are not there) people. They should have an earlier RSVP date. So prepare to send your invitations out a couple of weeks early to them to give them enough time to respond. Your B list are guest that you want to invite, but only "as

When you say the word buttercup it just makes you feel really giddy inside. I crave something sweet just saying the word. My inspiration for this Monday is Vintage Buttercup with a hint of burnt orange and brown. This can be used in several seasons, like fall, spring and summer. If you are planning an event for Spring/Summer 2011 keep this fun & classy color palette in mind.

Ok, so you may have known your hair stylist, or make up artist for years. You've asked them if they would help you out on your event date and they agreed. An informal agreement could lead to unnecessary chaos. So hit things head on. Make sure that any vendor that you know on a personal level that you are using for your event follows the same guidelines as any other vendor. They must have a

When choosing a cake for your affair, always make sure to pick a cake baker who not only can create a stellar design but also bake a cake that your guest will be talking about after the event. The last thing you would want for your event is for your cake to be dry and bitter. After all it is the main dessert that people are waiting for you to cut. If you make your guest wait all of that time you
