Chesna & Matt's Wedding



It's our day off, but I thought I would share this fun link to a slideshow of Chesna & Matt's beautiful wedding we were a part of earlier in May. Julie, the M.O.B., and Chesna, the wonderful bride, brought our team in to execute all of their great wedding plans. We had a great time with their wedding week and were thrilled to be a part of it!

Thanks to her hardworking photoagraphers, Dana & Mark, at Stone Ridge Photography. Enjoy the slideshow by clicking here. Check out the photos on Stone Ridge's Facebook page here!

Out of the Office

Beginning today, our team is out of the office and will be returning Tuesday, May 26th. I will have no internet access at my weekend destination, so your patience with blogging and email messages is greatly appreciated! My time away allows me to refresh & renew and be a better coordinator & wedding professional for you. Hopefully I will come back with a really nice tan...

Have a wonderful week and a safe & fun Memorial Day weekend!

A Little Help

Are you a bride who sees her wedding design immediately, attends appointments wearing your wedding colors and knows the name of every last poesy in your bridal bouquet?

Are you a bride that has no clue about her wedding design, what the difference between lavender and eggplant is and is quickly settling for something that isn't 'quite right'?

Are you a bride with 10 different styles that you can't decide between, bringing 10 color swatches and 10 internet print-off inspiration boards with you in your bridal binder?

The design of your wedding is the first introduction to society of your "couple style." Your wedding could set the pace for all of the parties that you host in the future, according to some etiquette books. Most importantly, though, is that your wedding style reflect the kind of wedding day you want to experience! Style rules these days have been practically chunked out the window, so as far as the "look" of your wedding...make it as simple, sassy, or sophisticated as you like!

Back to the top of the post...did you answer "yes" to any of my questions? If so, we can be of help to you! No, you may not need a full scale planner, but you may need someone to put your mind at ease that your style is going to work & is headed in the right direction. We design & execute weddings full-time, for a living. A little reassurance from the pros can sometimes stop the spinning circles and get you moving along the path to wedded bliss.

If you're still spinning, call us today to set up an hourly consultation. We can help you determine a style, narrow down your options, or create a style for you (for those brides who think they are style-less, but most definitely are not!). We can talk about what will work best with your venue, what is realistic within your budget, and the steps to pull it all off.

Don't forget to take care of your mental health, girls! We're only one quick call away!

A Candy Buffet with a Twist

This Sunday we had the opportunity to work with Chesna & Matt for their "Old Hollywood with a Modern Twist" wedding! It was simply elegant, and a truly classy wedding. More to come on the wedding later....

Chesna and Matt set up a candy buffet for their guests late in the evening that was different from the usual jars of sweets that we typically see. They had containers of:

~Pretzels
~Hershey's Kisses
~Peanuts
~M&M's
~Raisins

What does this sound like to you? Read the list again & think about it....TRAIL MIX! How fun is that! We saw so many guests snacking on this sweet & salty delight during dancing. Everyone loved it!

Chesna and her super-creative mom, Julie, also created the bags for guests to fill with the goodies, and they were an adorable addition to the table. They purchased small white paper bags, and then found a super-cute wedding themed rubber stamp and stamped each bag. How creative! This is a great money saving idea, rather than purchasing pre-designed bags.

The table was displayed beautifully. Apothecary jars of different shapes & sizes held the treats, each container had a silver scoop with a tiny ribbon tied to its handle, and the bags were displayed on a gorgeous silver tray. Once we had set all of the "necessaries" we added the bridesmaids' bouquets, photos, and a cute 'Thank You' note from the bride & groom to complete the set up.

Think outside the box when it comes to things that you are seeing more frequently, like the candy buffet. What's your favorite snack, and how can you turn that into a personal touch for your wedding?

How have you taken an idea for your wedding & given it a sweet twist?

Robyn & Todd Tied the Knot: A Mother's Day Beach Wedding

When I opened my email this morning I was thrilled to find wonderful images from my dear friends, Todd & Robyn's beach wedding. They were married on Sunday oceanside in Florida, and as you will see it looks like they had better weather than us!

Todd & Robyn will be celebrating with more friends & family in a few weeks with a fun reception here in Fayetteville. I am truly excited to get to assist them with their reception, bringing a "little bit" of the beach back to town.

If Todd looks familiar, it is because he and his brother Brian are the guys behind Groove Productions...my favorite Fayetteville DJ's!!!

Enjoy these beautiful images that Brian took. Robyn & Todd did a beautiful job planning this stunning, simple, and sophisticated beach ceremony and party!












Congratulations Robyn & Todd! I am so thankful for our growing friendship and I am so excited for you all to begin your marriage together!
