We were asked to share what we're in love with right now ... colors, flowers, and details.
They quoted a section of our submission but we wanted to share the entire piece with our readers.
Colors: As a general preference, I LOVE the color pink so of course when a client says that they want to use it in their wedding, I automatically agree with them. Pink is such a fun, love-inspiring color that can be taken many different ways. Hot pink shades can show off the couple’s rebellious side when used with black and white; blushes and peaches can add to the feel-good nature of the reception; and coral can be mixed with so many other colors to add an element to the design that otherwise would have been missed. Sure, some guys feel that pink isn’t manly so they may not be keen on having it be used (after all, it’s their day, too!) but because of my experience with planning events, I make sure I point out how pink can be paired with masculine colors (i.e. navy blue, charcoal grey) so that they don’t feel left out of their own event. Regardless of when in the planning process a bride tells me her color scheme (start of brainstorming or even as soon as a month before the Big Day), I love being able to help couple’s achieve their wedding dreams, and colors, especially pink, are an easy way to accomplish this.
Flowers: Being in a business where
knowing all different shapes, types, and varieties of flowers makes it
difficult to be able to pick just one that I love. Okay, I’ll be honest, I can’t pick just one! However, I do
prefer working with flowers that possess unique textures. Going against the
grain and using flowers that don’t stick to the norm of being smooth, contained
blossoms adds in a little extra “oomph” to the design to make it distinctive
and stand out in pictures. While peonies are temperamental and finicky to work
with, the fluffiness of their many petals fill the space of any arrangement they
are in, and aid to the beauty of a glowing bride. Working with flowers like
hybrid tea roses can always add elegance to any event, but why not bring in a
whole new element by featuring dahlias instead? I don’t like the idea of
planning and coordinating the same event over and over again. A great way to
help my brides have their wedding be special and distinctive is by encouraging
them to pick textured and individualistic blooms for their wedding
arrangements. Every bride is different; so should their wedding!
Details: Many people focus on making
sure they have a family heirloom, a friend’s cake, or any other personal
elements they covet at their wedding. I agree that all of these are great to
have, but a detail that I think that must
be present at a wedding is a theme. The theme doesn’t have to be specific like
Winter Wonderland but a couple (and their planner) needs to know what the theme
is so that they stay on track with the look and feel they desire the event to
exude. Celebrations by Amy Bacon is working with a wonderful couple right now
whose wedding will be this upcoming February and they are pros at bringing this
detail into everything about their ‘I Do’s. The bride and her Maid of Honor
came up with the fantastic theme of Vintage Glam that they always have in mind
when deciding what to use and what to leave out. From the beautiful multi-sized
lanterns on the tables to the amazing sequins, chevron linen for the cake table,
they’re matching the sophistication of times now passed with the contemporary
pops that are in vogue today. Knowing what you want for your wedding and being
able to voice this to others can be the difference between missing the mark of
what you had pictured and getting more than you had ever imagined when all is
said and done. Even if a couple does not know how to voice specific ideas for
their wedding, as I work with them I am able to develop a concrete phrase for
all involved to cling to throughout the process so as to bring their vision to
life. My team and I pride ourselves on being able to see a couple’s vision and
knowing just how to make this must-have detail shine as much as their love for
one another as they start their new life together, as long as they both shall
live.
