I’ll admit it, I can’t help but read all of the silly someecards that my friends post on Facebook and Pinterest. Sometimes they’re a little out of line, but a lot of times they mirror my life both professionally and personally. I came across this one yesterday and couldn’t help but share with y’all because, once again, I literally laughed out loud…

When you’re getting dolled up for the most exciting day of your life, neither you nor anyone in your family or wedding party should have to worry about anything except relaxing and taking in each and every moment. You shouldn’t have to think about what’s going on with your vendors and how setup is coming along.

Our job as wedding planners is to absorb the responsibility of making sure everything falls into place flawlessly. While every wedding is bound to have unexpected situations arise, if you have the right wedding planner, you will never know about these shortfalls unless it’s absolutely urgent.

What is most important to you on your wedding day? Will you have a planner by your side?

Happy Planning Y’all!

Here at Embellished Events, we’re always looking ahead to the upcoming seasons. The start of fall is only a couple months away, which means it’s crunch time in the world of weddings! If you’re tying the knot this fall season, now is the time to be putting those final touches on your floral orders. Most florists will require all changes be made no later than one month prior to your wedding date so that they have plenty of time for ordering.

If you’re still on the fence about what you’ll be holding when you walk down the aisle, consider having something a little unique without it being distracting. With so many colors and textures available in fall, the possibilities are endless. Your bouquet is a work of art so get creative with your floral designer and have fun putting together the perfect compilation of florals, fruits and foliage.

FARMER’S MARKET INSPIRED

These bouquets incorporate seasonal, fresh, edible finds from your local farmer’s market. Choose things that are local to where you live, if possible. Some ideas to consider: figs, pomegranate, artichokes, black cherry, crab apples, mini gourds and pumpkins, cabbage and fresh herbs

FOLIAGE AND BRANCHES

Encapsulate the fall with beauty and warmth created from using maple and oak leaves, twigs such as curly willow or manzanita, hanging spanish moss, cones and acorns.

BEAUTIFUL TEXTURES

Incorporate texture into your bouquet with blooms such as: celosia, billy balls, seeded eucalyptus (my favorite!), protea, hanging amaranths and calla lilies.

7 Tips for Hiring Your Floral Designer

Florals play a very important role in your wedding day and the person you choose to create them should be done with careful consideration. Fresh florals can easily transform any space, taking it from DRAB to FAB in no time! Florals make a huge impact in your photos as well, adding the perfect pop of color to every frame.

Fresh flowers make up about 10% or more of your wedding budget so you want to make sure you’re getting the best for the money you spend.  A lot goes into the floral design process and it’s important that the person you hire be able to provide you with the very best. From  brainstorming to the final product, planning your flowers takes a lot of time, creativity and flexibility.

Here are some of my top tips for brides to keep in mind when choosing the florist for your wedding day:

  1. imagesWhen searching for your floral designer, look for someone who is AIFD (American Institute of Floral Designers) certified. The requirements to become AIFD are steep and the process to is rigorous. Only the best in the industry achieve this certification and the proof is in their work.
  2. This may seem like a no-brainer, but make sure to choose a florist that specializes in weddings. Doing this will ensure they keep certain things in mind that any other florist would not think of (i.e. creating bouquets and boutonnieres, selecting centerpieces that will not obstruct anyone’s views, when to use battery operated candles vs. regular candles, etc.).
  3. Look through their portfolio to get an idea of their design style. Ensure their taste is in line with your vision. Look for variety in their designs!
  4. Setup a consultation prior to sending in a deposit. The consultation does not have to be that in-depth. Discuss some ideas, look through some albums, peek inside their coolers to see how well their flowers are kept and look at the various vases and vessels they have in inventory.
  5. Ask how many people they have on staff and how many weddings they will take on each weekend.
  6. Be sure to ask what their policies are if you’re getting married near Valentine’s Day or on Mother’s Day weekend.
  7. When in doubt, trust your wedding planner. She can speak from experience and know whether they will align with your style and vision.

Spring 2013 Wedding Testimonials

While the pleasure and honor is really all ours, nothing makes my day more than receiving words like these from our happy spring couples. Knowing that I made such a positive impact on their wedding planning experience and wedding day is what makes working in this crazy fun industry well worth all of the hard work.

“My husband and I were truly impressed with Jennifer Leiti and the entire Embellished Events team that made our wedding day such a success! We hired Embellished Events a month after we were engaged for full service wedding planning. Jen was there for us every step of the way; from developing a budget, seeking out the perfect venue, securing trustworthy vendors, attending all of our vendor meetings, and helped to assemble our welcome bags! I truly valued Jen’s input throughout the entire process, as she could always recommend fantastic vendors, help us find areas to reduce cost, and made herself available every time I called. Jen truly has a knack for details. She has an eye for fabric selection and creative ideas to make your wedding truly unique. Jen sewed our head table runner, wedding party napkins, pillows for the outdoor sofas and sash ties for the tent poles. Our guests were impressed with all of the small details. The day of the wedding, Jen and her team made every moment flawless for my husband and I. We were able to throughly enjoy ourselves without having to worry about a thing! Her assistants were able to run last minute errands for me, always had a fresh drink ready for us, and were always anticipating our next move (holding doors, folding napkins, etc.). Embellished Events is a boutique wedding planning service who truly caters to your every need and makes you feel as though yours is the only wedding they’re planning! I will be recommending them to all my friends who decide to marry in the Low Country. Jen and I have remained close friends and I look forward to working with her again for other event planning needs in the near future!!” – Katie J.  {married 5/4/13}

“Words cannot express how thankful we were to have hired Embellished Events for full service wedding coordination! Jennifer Leiti and her team of fantastic assistants are truly wonderful to work with. We hired Embellished events a month after we were engaged and never once doubted our decision. Jen has an amazing eye for detail. She custom made our head table runner, wedding party napkins, outdoor pillows and tent pole sashes. She was truly an asset to have at every vendor meeting, adding input on food choices, complimentary flower colors, and tent options! Her and her team enlisted several hours to make our wedding go off with out a hitch. Jen handled every small detail while ensuring I was truly treated as a princess for the day. We sincerely appreciated the wedding package Jen put together for us online. She tracked all of our vendor agreements, uploaded agendas for our vendor meetings and week of events, provided a budget template and an over all timeline of “things to do” by month to help us stay on track. We definitely recommend Embellished Events to all other Low Country brides. Jen is fantastic to worth with, you won’t be disappointed!” – Nick J. {married 5/4/13}

“While my now husband and I were initially hesitant to spend “extra” money on a wedding planner, once we met Jen Leiti of Embellished Events, we knew she was going to be worth every penny. Jen was with us every step of the way (even before we had signed our contract, she had suggested a venue to check out we hadn’t considered and we ended up falling in love) from the vendors, the details, to the execution of the best night of our lives. Jen took our initial vision and made sure that every last detail went towards bringing that vision to life. Every one of her recommended vendors worked out perfectly – their customer service was superb and they all worked together with Jen to provide us a seemingly perfect ceremony and reception. There could have been problems, but not any one of the guests, myself included, ever heard about or saw one. Jen responded to every one of my emails (and there were quite a few) quickly and professionally and she’s just about the sweetest and most understanding person I’ve ever met. I can also say that by the end of the wedding planning process, you too will have a newfound friend in Jen. Jen was also very understanding of not only respecting our vision, but also respecting our budget. She really gave us the freedom to develop our own vision of the wedding we wanted and would suggest ideas or touches that we may not have thought of, but they only added to the overall experience of our big day. Jen knows what will work and what will get you your dream wedding, but I felt the entire time that we were planning our big day with a close friend instead of a paid consultant. The best part about Embellished Events is that their fantastic team, with their very thorough planning, allowed my husband and I (and our families) to have the chance to really relax and enjoy the special moments. Our guests are still raving about the stunning and fun reception that we would not have been able to create or have without Embellished Events.” – Katie G. {married 5/18/13}

Wrapping Up Spring

Well hello June! I can’t believe you’re already here! The temperatures have been heating up, which means wedding season is now slowing down after what was quite a busy season. April and May were filled with couples visiting the area to tie the knot. From Hilton Head to Charleston, the Embellished Events team traveled all over the Lowcountry to be by their sides and ensure their wedding days went off without a hitch.

Speaking of hitch, there was one that we seemed to run into almost every weekend…rain! Yes, rain. I said it. We never like to talk about it, but it’s always in the back of our minds as wedding

planners. I can not stress to you enough the importance of having a solid Plan B in place…complete with floor plans and all. Go over it in detail with your planner, establish your game plan, and then file it away. You’ll rest easy knowing what to expect for your wedding in the case of inclement weather.

One thing you’ll learn quickly about precipitation down here is that it really can not be predicted until a few days prior. With that being said, for the sake of your own sanity, please do not depend on what the Weather Channel predicts will happen 10 days out. It will change at least one hundred times over the next 7 days!

Despite what I considered to be a soggy spring, all of our weddings turned out to be absolutely stunning and the couples married were over the moon happy!

Here is a peek into our wedding at Middleton Place by Studio 1250. Clear tent walls blocked the strong wind gusts and rain from interfering with decor. It did the job while still maintaining the beautiful view of the grounds from inside the tent!
