A Hilton Head Golf Tradition: Mad About Plaid

For the past 45 years, Hilton Head Island has been home to the PGA Tour’s Heritage Golf Tournament. Founded by Sea Pines designer Charles Fraser in 1969, the first tournament brought some of golf’s greatest to our tiny island. Over the years much of the Heritage Golf Tournament remains the same: the course, the legendary players, the large and rowdy crowds and of course the traditional plaid!

Tomorrow kick’s off the start of the tournament so I thought I would pay tribute and “Get My Plaid On” by providing our readers with some gorgeous photos of inspiration that incorporate this fun pattern. From favors and linens to even your attire, there are many ways to play up this theme without going over the top.

Happy Heritage y’all!

Nothing makes me happier in this industry than hearing from my newly married clients after the honeymoon to say how perfect their wedding day was thanks to the successful execution of the planning team.  Today, I received a sweet note from Megan and Brian that they shared with the rest of the world on Wedding Wire:

“Brian and I were so thrilled with the way that Jen was able to translate our ideas into a truly gorgeous event. Due to our schedules, we couldn’t be in the area for much of the planning, so we had to rely on her judgment– and we’re so glad we did! We enjoyed every minute of the big day, and could not have imagined a better outcome.”

Thank you Megan and Brian for  your kind words and for giving me the pleasure and honor to work with you the past year. Watching your wedding day go from concept to reality and then exceeding expectations while doing so is the reason I am so passionate about wild wedding world I work in. There is no greater reward than hearing how happy you were with the experience. Congratulations and best wishes you two!!

Megan and Brian {married 3.1.14}

Megan and Brian were married this past weekend at beautiful Belfair Plantation. Their ceremony took place on the back lawn, which overlooks the marsh and golf course while the reception took place inside (and out of the cold!) the clubhouse.

Megan and Brian both attended Wake Forest University, but had no idea who the other was until they met studying abroad at Casa Artom in Venice, Italy. Being that their love story started in Italy, they knew they wanted to incorporate this personal touch into their wedding day. They chose a color palette of limoncello yellow, cornflower blue and leaf green and opted for accents of olive leafs and magnolias (the bride’s favorite).

Megan loves magnolias and since the blooms were not in season, A Floral Affair created a similar look by peeling back the petals of the limoncello roses (yes, that’s their actual name…how suitable!).

Megan’s cake was created by Ashlee Perkins of Tier Luxury Cakes. Megan loved the look of hand painted cakes and found this image for her to use as inspiration. You’ll have to scroll down to see how the cake turned out…it was lovely!

According to American Express Saving and Spending Tracker, more than 6 million people will likely  get engaged today. That’s right, it’s Valentine’s Day; a holiday created simply to celebrate love and romance! I am a sucker for this Hallmark holiday and simply can’t resist all of the red, pink and heart covered goodies that line the aisles at stores! Those darn conversation hearts get me every time.

In honor of Valentine’s Day and all of the special couples that will soon be planning their wedding, we’ve pulled together some of our favorite wedding images that celebrate the holiday.

2014 Wedding Trends Unveiled

Curious to know what the top trends will be for weddings in 2014? The Knot released their list last week and I’m here to share them with you! Without further adieu, the top 10 wedding trends for 2014 are:

1. Refined Woodland: the trend is “bringing the outside in” to create a classy and romantic atmosphere. This theme incorporates floral embellishments, lace, loose braids and comfort foods. Think wooden table numbers, birch wrapped vases for your centerpieces, driftwood chargers and branches.

2. Jeweled Necklines: this new fashion trend blings up your dress in a different way. A jeweled neckline adds the perfect touch of sparkle without being over the top. It’s perfect to compliment the somewhat conservative illusion neckline.

3. Flowers Galore: Fresh flowers will be all the rage this year! From cascading bridal bouquets, fresh flower walls and arches to even suspended arrangements, flowers will take center stage at your wedding.

4. Long Live the Photo Booth: Photo booths are a fun and whimsical way to entertain guests who don’t necessarily want to dance. This is also a great way to for guests to capture special moments. Throw in some props and capture the memories.

Indulgy

5. Unplugged: In today’s society, it’s hard for almost anyone to go without their cellphone, tablet or laptop, but in walks the “unplugged” bride. This is a bride who asks their guests to leave the cellphones at home and be in the moment on their special day. “

“I am SO happy to see this on the list of 2014 wedding trends!!”

2014 Wedding Trends | Social Media

6. Super Charged: The opposite of the “unplugged” bride is the “super charged” bride who wants their guests to use their phone to capture videos and photos. They sometimes ask their guests to post these photos on social media under a certain hashtag. Some brides will even provide chargers in some cases for guests to keep up with the action (gasp!!). Are you kidding me?

“Smart phones have become quite a distraction and impolite gesture at social gatherings. Looking down at your phone can come off wrong to an onlooker…especially if the onlooker is the bride or groom. It comes off as though you’re “bored” or uninterested. Phones have no place at the ceremony either. Newlyweds do not want to look at their professional photographs and see a bunch of phones hanging over the aisle to capture the procession. As a wedding guest, you should be in the moment of the celebration, taking everything in around you that took so many months to plan. This is one trend on the list that I hope fades away immediately.” 

Phone-Camera

7. Trash the Dress Backlash: What started as an artistic approach to the traditional bridal portrait, “Trash The Dress” sessions are no longer in high demand. In fact, it’s the traditional portraits that are making their comeback.

8. The 90’s are IN: Back is the era of break dancers and crop top dresses (my fave!). Add a little vinyl and glow sticks for the dance floor and we’re ready for a 90’s dance party! Customized glow in the dark slap bracelets anyone?? Yes, PLEASE!

Hayley Paige | Spring 2014

9. Bright + Bold: This year is all about adding bright pops of color to your color scheme. I love pairing neutral pallets with a bright splash of color, especially if it comes through in patterns! Pull bright pops of color into your flowers, favors, stationery and dinner napkins.

2014 Wedding Trends | Bright Colors

10. The After Party: Nobody ever wants a good party to end, so comes the after party. During the reception it’s better to get traditional steps out of the way, such as cutting the cake, tossing the bouquet and parent dances so that the older guests are able to leave at a reasonable time and the younger crowd can party on!

These different trends were derived from the ever changing Hollywood fashion, sets, movies and music. Be sure to  follow Embellished Events on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to keep up with the latest trends and get inspirited with fresh new ideas!
