Bridal Shower Blast

Written by Decadent Details Events Assistant, Hailey Perry

Every party no matter how large or small, comes with a certain amount of planning! Although one of our favorite things is the details of planning and designing the Wedding Ceremony and Reception...the other parties which will happen during your engagement deserve as much attention to detail!  One of our favorite parties, is the Bridal Shower! In fact, if you had an opportunity to attend the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show on Sunday, February, 17, 2013 you were able to see our Sweet Pink & White Bridal Shower Table Scape! The Bridal Shower is a perfect time to celebrate the Bride & Groom! We have compiled a list of tips throwing a successful and fun bridal shower.
 

Think Theme...

Whether you are planning a nice evening dinner or an energetic luncheon, think theme first. You can make decisions on invitations, decorations, games, and food all around the theme of your event. Do you want to host a romantic or contemporary night for guests? Or would you rather choose from some of the couple’s interests. There are various ways to individualize the party.

Think Decor...

After deciding on your theme, begin thinking about the decorations you will need. Will you need to hire someone to come in and decorate? Will you be renting tables, chairs, etc. or will you be throwing a backyard summer bar-be-cue? All of this needs to be taken into consideration when planning for your guests.

Think Games...

Bridal shower games are a great way to introduce and mingle with out-of-town guests. There are many affordable and DIY bridal shower games to make the day festive. If you are thinking of doing a co-ed or just ladies shower, games can be tailored to incorporate all of your special guests. Games provide a nice relaxing feel to the wedding process and allows for your guests a chance to meet the other side of the family.

Think Food...

How many guests are you inviting to the bridal party? What kind of food are you wanting to serve? A sit down meal, an outdoor grill out, or casual appetizers? Think about guest preferences and how much you want to spend to feed everyone at the shower. You can coordinate your food with the theme to give the party a complete feel.

No matter your decision on theme, decorations, games, and food, keep in mind that the afternoon or night is a celebration of the bride and groom’s marriage.  Take the time to incorporate exciting ways to show your happiness with the new couple.  Whether you decide to plan the details yourself or hire a professional to help...Celebrate their interests with all of their closest friends and family. 

Cheers! To the Bride and Groom!

Just how important are wedding planners?  Well, if you had the chance to come by our booth at the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show this past weekend, you saw our huge "To Do" list.  The only exaggeration, was the physical size!  We understand that planning your big day can be a stress and that is where we come in.   We spoke to many brides, each with a different need.  Whether you need full inclusive planners, or month-of coordination, we tailor to each bride! We love weddings and we understand how important your "Big Day" is! If your list looks anything like this?  We would love to talk.

As wedding coordinators, we understand the chaos that will take place on your big day. We want to take that stress from your shoulders to allow you the time to create the memories you want to make with your family and special guests. If you are a DIY Bride, you might be thinking you have a handle on all that is going on around you. While that might be true, we urge you to think in advance to the day of your wedding and how your day will be coordinated, and more importantly, by whom. We would love the opportunity to ensure that your special day run smoothly. Think about our team when planning your wedding day. 

 Keep Calm & Hire a Planner!



Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

Written by Decadent Details Events Assistant, Hailey Perry

“Something olde, something new, something borrowed, something blue.  A sixpence in your shoe.”  This is the old English rhyme from the 1300s that brides still hold close to their heart today.  Each of the objects symbolizes a different aspect of the marriage between the happy couple.

Something old represents the continuity and the remembrance of life before your marriage.  Something new offers optimism for the future with your husband.  Something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness, that you will not have to face your struggles alone -- you always have your friends and family.  Something blue represents purity, love, and fidelity.  The sixpence in the shoe is often times left out of the modern day bride’s adornment, but it represents good luck and remains largely popular in British culture. 

Here are some of our ideas for both the traditional and more modern brides.

Something Old

You can never go wrong with family jewelry.  The women in your family are sure to have a piece that is gorgeous and memorable for your special day.  If you have picked out your own jewelry, you can always wrap it up in your bouquet.

Family heirlooms can serve as something old, and are a great way to highlight your family’s precious treasures.  It can be anything you cherish, a crystal vase or hand-sewn table cloth are perfect for receptions.

A vintage clutch can be the perfect accessory to any bride on her special day and give a fashionable look to dress up any gown.

Something New

Considering your wedding bands as your something new is a classic way to look to the future with your new spouse.

A new veil is another way to accessorize your look if you choose to wear one.

Something Borrowed

Your mo ther’s wedding accessories can provide you with assurance and a special tie to the love your parents share.

Something Blue

 

Blue embroidery on the inside of your gown personalizes your dress.

Best Wishes written in blue on the bottom of your heels is a subtle way to show off your “something blue.”

All of these objects are interchangeable as to what you would like “old”, “new”, “borrowed” or “blue”.  Feel free to pick and choose in order to fulfill your own style. 

 

So what will you use for your "Something olde, something new, something borrowed, something blue"?
