The Top 10 Things Everyone Planning a Wedding Needs to Know

1/20/2021

You know, I wish I could tell you that wedding planning will be a breeze. I wish I could tell you that everything will be PERFECT and go just as planned. I wish I could tell you that it’s actually not that much work or that it’s not that costly, but I can’t. It is both challenging and costly.

I am here however to give you some practical advice on navigating the planning process and to clear up your misconceptions and maybe some unrealistic fairytale expectations. So here we go!

  1. A lot of things CAN go wrong. Inevitably something WILL go wrong. Even fairytale weddings have things to overcome (but having the bomb wedding planner helps cushion the blow and no one knows the fairytale wedding had hiccups! Not even the couple getting married.) 
  2. Be thorough! Crosscheck vendors or hire an experienced planner.
  3. Reminder: It’s YOUR Wedding!!!! Even the people footing the bill are subject to the way you want to do things.
  4. The guest list is yours to split. You are doing your parents a favor by inviting their friends or giving them their own invite list.
  5. Research your vendors! You need to do your homework to find the best vendors to fit.
  6. Delegate to your bridal party to help you get things done!
  7. Do your best to only put people in the bridal party you’re willing to fall out with. Feelings get hurt and arguments get started for the most random reasons. Only put people in the bridal party who you are willing to fight with to make it through to the other side.
  8. Weddings cost a lot of money!
  9. Make sure your groom knows that this is his day too. Yes! It’s all about the BRIDE but you’ll need his input when it comes to picking songs, getting information to groomsmen and managing the bridal party, picking clothing and accessories, among other things. Make him fee included in the beginning and it will feel a lot less like pulling teeth.
  10. Rehearsal is important and necessary. You don’t have to HAVE to have it the night before, you don’t have to do a rehearsal dinner, but you should rehearse. Give as much information as you can! You don’t want them to be caught off guard with what they’re supposed to do and where they’re supposed to go.

BONUS:
​11. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT plan to do 1.5 million things the day before your wedding! You have NEVER in your life experienced the time moving as fast as it will the day before and the day of your wedding. Get it all done earlier! Hair - sure, nails - sure, but you should not be making bouquets, running a bunch of errands, dropping this off, picking that up, etc. just don’t do it.

Moral of my story will always be to hire an experienced and quality wedding planner (and team of vendors) to make sure you don’t have to do more work than necessary.

2021 Color of the Year

1/5/2021

0 Comments

 
Now THIS is how we start the year!Let’s face it ... we’re all glad that 2020 is behind us. 2021 is long anticipated and so far, she’s doing good. We did get something we needed in the last weeks.

Every year - around the beginning of December - designers everywhere are on pins and needles. We’re waiting to hear from the powers to be 👀 PANTONE. I’ll tell you why!


But who is Pantone? 🤷🏽‍♀️
They’re the color matching Gods. They are the worldwide standard for color communication and inspiration... since 1963.

So what did they decide now? 🤔
Since 2000, the Pantone Color Institute has declared a particular color "Color of the Year". Twice a year the company hosts, in a European capital, a secret meeting of representatives from various nations' color standards groups. After two days of presentations and debate, they choose a color for the following year; for example, the color for summer 2013 was chosen in London in the spring of 2012.


So you can understand why we live for this stuff and you should too! It determines fashion and décor trends, influences everything from those wedding colors to those new couch pillow colors. Well, they have declared the color(s) for the year!!! Ok, ok, are you itching to know what they are? 👀

Illuminating Yellow + Ultimate Gray
​A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.

These two independent colors that come together to create an aspirational color pairing, conjoining deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the optimistic promise of a sunshine filled day.
