10 Jaw Dropping Bridal Gowns for Spring 2014

Designers today are really pushing the envelope on dress styles by combining the perfect blend of modern fashion with classic. Looking through all of the jaw-dropping spring 2014 bridal collections, you’ll see everything from color blocking to peplum styles to illusion necklines with hand-sewn embellishments.

Shopping for the perfect wedding dress something all of us girls dream about since childhood. If you haven’t already found “the dress,” you probably have a vision in mind of what the style will look like. I always encourage brides to keep an open mind when they go wedding dress shopping. While a strapless A-line style may be the one you’ve always dreamed about, you may be pleasantly surprised when you try on an unconventional style.

Vera Wang, the guru and tastemaker of wedding gowns, has once again wowed us with her newest collection. Black has never looked so good on a bride until Vera put her touch on the dress. Just look at these stunning gowns!

Kensey + John’s Haig Point Wedding

Kensey and John were married on May 11th at Haig Point, which is located on Daufuskie Island. Their ceremony took place at the lighthouse with the reception immediately following at the Golf Club. It was the picture perfect setting for one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever met.

One of my favorite moments from their wedding day was walking the ring bearer to the aisle for his bright and shining moment. Little Peter, John’s nephew, was 3 years old and will do almost anything for a lollipop. He was shy at the rehearsal and hesitant to walk down the aisle so on the wedding day, we gave John a lollipop to stick in his pocket to reward Peter with once he got to the altar. As I walked Peter to the aisle for his processional, John held out the lollipop to show him his reward. Peter’s eyes lit up and without any hesitation, he skipped down the aisle with his arms in the air from excitement. Success! Not only did the tactic work, it also gave everyone a chuckle.

I was so honored to have had the opportunity to get to know Kensey, John and their families. Their wedding day was full of love, laughter, tears of joy and sweet memories that I will always remember.

Thank you Chris + Allie for capturing their day so beautifully through the lens!

Poppy Red + Tiffany Blue Mood Board

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you’re having a beautiful week so far! It sure has been a busy and productive one for me. Yesterday, I had two very productive planning meetings with brides plus a consultation with a potential new client. In between all of my meetings, I have also been busy gearing up for a busy month of August. I am so excited to have four of my darling couples come into town for some extensive planning meetings with vendors!

Next week, we will be with our beautiful bride Madeline for three days of non-stop planning fun! We’re even taking a trip to Charleston to meet with our friends at Ooh! Events and select from their eclectic mix of event rental items.

Madeline and Joe are getting married at the Rose Hill Mansion next September. It’s simply breathtaking. The property is covered in live oak trees, which are drenched in spanish moss. We’ll be setting up a clear top tent right under these beauties so that once they’re illuminated by our friends at JLK Events, you won’t believe your eyes. The mansion is full of history, art and antiques and will be open for tours throughout their wedding.

In preparing for Madeline’s visit, we’ve been collaborating on some design ideas. Today, I put a mood board together to share with our vendors and give them an idea of the look we’re trying to accomplish. What do you think?

Just for giggles…

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!

xoxo

Fall Bouquets of Fruit, Foliage and Florals

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.
