I'm always excited when meeting a bride-to-be for the first time.
She's just gotten engaged and is eager to plan the wedding of her dreams. She visits with colorful binders and tons of magazines in hand. Sticky notes tag photos of centerpieces, cakes, bouquets, etc. As we sit together gazing at pictures, my creative juices start to flow and my mind begins to craft the story the bride is entrusting me to bring to life for her special day.
When designing a client's event, I do so as if it were my own. It's important I utilize all aspects of the bride's vision, while adding extra touches that give it a "Wow" factor! I realize we have been conditioned to "Not Sweat the Small Stuff" and in most situations...I would agree...but not in this case. We are talking about a once-in-a-lifetime event. A time many have fantasied about since they were little girls. Details do matter on these occasions and can transform a wedding from beautiful to breathtaking.
Adding elements that accentuate decor for a ceremony and/or reception don't have to break a wedding's budget. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and envision the "look" you are trying to achieve. Is the design whimsical, classic, modern, etc? Next, imagine a touch of sparkle, a splash of color...something that dazzles. Your goal is to awe, not overpower. Below are a few ways to enchant your guests, while being mindful of your wedding budget.
