Megan and Brian {married 3.1.14}
  • March 5, 2014/

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.

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!

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.

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!

How To: Embellish Your Wedding Chairs
  • January 30, 2014/
  • Posted By : embellishedevents/
  • 0 comments /
  • Under : weddings: beaufort SC , weddings: charleston SC , weddings: hilton head SC , weddings: savannah GA

One of my favorite things to do with brides is hone in on the often overlooked details, such as napkin garnishes, what the food will be served on, signage for everything and even bathroom decor (yes, it’s important!). One big trend I’m noticing for 2014 is the addition of chair embellishments! Gone are the days of covering chairs with slipcovers and tying them with a bow. You can spend the same amount of $$ to rent beautiful chiavari chairs and then adorn the back with anything your heart desires!

Here are some ideas to spark your creativity:

  • Floral Garland
  • Use Rope, Ribbon or Cut Fabric
  • Rent Chair Caps
  • Rent Chair Jackets
  • Purchase Chair Jackets & Monogram
  • Find or Create a Unique Tie Style
  • Rent Cushion Covers
  • Rent or Purchase Throw Pillows (monogrammed!)
  • Use Pashminas

Guests will notice and appreciate the thought that you’ve put into all of the darling details, especially the chairs they’ll be sitting on for a great length of time during dinner. Have fun with your chairs and let them add a fresh and unique touch to the overall look of your ceremony and/or reception.

Tiffany Blue, Gold and White Mood Board

  • Under : weddings: beaufort SC , weddings: charleston SC , weddings: hilton head SC , weddings: savannah GA

I am so excited for this weekend I can hardly stand it! I finally get to meet, in person, with our sweet couple, Natalie and Ryan. The three of us have been planning since fall, but since they live out in CO, all of our conversations have been over the phone or email. They’re making one trip here before their wedding day on April 26th and I’ve put together quite the itinerary for meeting with vendors.

In preparation for a productive day of planning and designing Saturday, I put together a mood board based on their wedding style and color palette of Tiffany Blue, Gold and White. She had her graphic artist design a custom look for their stationery suite, which will give her wedding a personal touch that no one else has.

Natalie is a very fashion forward bride and has a clear idea of what she likes and doesn’t like. She wants the overall look to be clean and elegant with modern accents and we’ve put together the perfect team of vendors to help us accomplish just that!
