Theme or Specific Style Selection:
Brides want personality in their day and want to create unique moments from their theme to be incorporated throughout their wedding day.
Whether it's a "love quote" to be incorporated through signage, save the dates, invitations and favors or if its a design or concept...we are loving seeing it all!
Small/Private Ceremonys:
Less is more sometimes and more and more people are opting for smaller more intimate ceremonies then celebrating with everyone afterwards for a luncheon or dinner reception! A private residence with a great landscape can be the perfect setting for your picture perfect nuptuals.
Fun Pinterest Photos:
A good quality photographer is NEVER an area to skimp on if you want rememorable photos of your special day. When it comes to working with your photographer they need to know your personalities and background a little to really "capture your story" in their photos. If they meet you once briefly to mainly capture your name and info then show up and go through a routine of photos then your photos will reflect a traditional picture no differen then the ones that you'll replace out of your house frames....boring and plain! Find fun poses that really tell your love story or find a photographer who's work and portfolio expresses a photojournalistic style that matches your own!
Dessert Bar's / Appetizer Bar's / Sunday Bar's, etc.
Dessert Tables as an alternative to wedding cake or as a nice addition to the wedding cake have been becoming more and more popular but now the "Bar" has branched out from not only sweets but the main courses too!
Considering doing a BBQ Dinner for your guests? Why not do a mac n' cheese bar with individual servings of mac n' cheese and then lots of yummy self serve toppings to go on top of them like shredded cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, green onions, chopped onions.
Or wanting to have a fiesta of a night drinking margaritas and dancing the night away? Why not have a sautee station with fresh grilled up meats and then sides and fixings bar for your guests to add their toppings and grab some sides!
Colorful Stones:
Yes Princess Kate trailed the way with this one after showcasing her dazzling oval, 18-carat blue sapphire and white diamond ring! Jewelers are starting to feature varies saphires, rubies, emeralds, etc into their wedding bands and sets as well as feature jeweled stones as the rings as well.
Guest Satisfaction Survey:
In the past weddings were still very traditional in the sense of who paid for what, who sat where, how the order of every event was to proceed. Most of the rules of etiquette are still great to follow but the value of the day is becoming more emphasized on experience not just the event. Things have become a little more relaxed with brides and grooms a lot of times forking the wedding bill themselves or both sides of the family pitching in funding so it's becoming more important to our clients for their guests to enjoy their day too. Will everyone attending feel comfortable? (temperatures, handicap accessibilities, room lighting, restroom cleanliness, food and drinks being provided based on appropriate times of day)
The Hunger Games-Style Bachelor Parties:
Forget strippers and booze, the bachelor and bachelorette party of 2012 is giving way to The Hunger Games-style action. While ladies are channeling their inner Jane Bond via programs like Stiletto Spy School where they get to learn defensive tactics, high-speed stunt driving and MacGyver-like survival skills (all while rocking a dress, of course), guys are finally fulfilling their lifelong fantasies of race car driving, learning how to play poker like a pro and even, believe it or not, herding cows and sheep.
