Dessert Centerpieces

Everyone loves Dessert!  I know we do around here.  Weddings and Events are no exception to the dessert love.  There are many options for displaying and presenting and one of our favorites is having the desert become the centerpiece.  If you are having a family style meal, then it blends right in with the rest of the meal.

Having trouble thinking of something other than wedding cake?  Do you have so many different desserts that you love?  Why not share all those favorites with your guest.  The different options could also signify different moments in your lives coming to the day of your event.  Remember what you had on a first date?

Couldn’t help but look around and find some of our favorites.  Is this something that you would love doing at your wedding?  We love helping create a design with our clients!

Baby Blue Inspiration

Baby Blue, Light Blue, Sky Blue, Tiffany Blue…they all have a certain light and pure feeling to them.  Of course needing something blue on your wedding day invokes looking for that special piece to compliment whether an heirloom, unique find, or a gift.  But how about using those blues as an inspiration for your wedding?

We decided to see what we loved about it and give you some great inspiration that will surely beat any Monday Blues you may have had after a fantastic holiday weekend.

There’s even a band named Blue Man Group!  So it’s has to be a cool color.  What do you all think?  Light blue wedding dress perhaps?  Or that every compliment of Chocolate brown!

Have a fantastic week everyone~

Citrus Lime Color Inspiration

Keeping with just having seen green for St. Patrick’s Day recently, why not talk about Lime Green!  Lime green accents around your big day make for stunning centerpieces and bouquets.  They also can make a great bridesmaid dress color, either all in Lime Green, or a mix of colors.  Some great accents to go along:  Citrus Orange, Bright Red, Mint, Purple, Citrus Yellow, and dare we say Hot Pink…

Here’s to a great Spring Monday!  We are so happy spring is here, colors can be so vibrant this time of year!  What lime green is your favorite?

Antique Getaway Cars

There comes a point and time that you and yours are ready to go!  You may be jetting off on your honeymoon, ready to get out of your attire and relax, or head to the after-party!  Either way, how are you leaving the event?  Are you at a historic location, a swanky hotel in downtown, or a winery you and yours love?  Each location lends itself to a great getaway car.  And what better way to create that final design statement at your wedding than by the car that you and yours leave in!

Who wants to have a friend and his Honda Civic drive you both off after a wonderful and romantic night?  We won’t deny that limos are always going to be a classic and elegant way to roam around town the night of your wedding, but what if…

Is your location historic? Find the year it was built and find a car to match the era (Rolls Royce anyone?).

Maybe a distant family member had a car back in the day that is now one of the great classics, what a better way to honor or remember them.

For added bonus, use the car all night from arriving at the ceremony to leaving that night.

And for one more touch, did you consider Trolley’s for moving guest around town?

Here are a couple of favorites here in the Austin area for rentals and needs at your next event!  Better yet, we can take care of arranging all your needs.  Give us a shout!  How are you leaving your next event?

GoBo Lighting

Lighting is a must at any event.  To capture those details you work so hard to pull together, lighting is the final touch.  Lighting is needed to change the ambiance of a space, highlight centerpieces, or create an element of surprise.  And that is where a GoBo can come into your design.

Your GoBo design can be pulled from the entire process of planning.  From your initial announcement with a ‘Save-the-Date’, The official Invitation, and all of your stationery comes a similar theme, so why not add in a custom GoBo that greets guest and creates an amazing personal touch.

GoBo’s can be something to greet your guest above a sign in table,

a backdrop in the room (wall, ceiling, or both!),

or set the dance floor up for you and your friends to dance the night away…

GoBo’s can be Black & White, Grey-scale, or Color.  Ask your professional lighting company or DJ if they have a gobo projector and the equipment to bring out.  And make sure to get the proper sizing from their equipment to custom your gobo. There are common sizes to gobo’s, as well your lighting or DJ may have the information needed to get that custom GoBo for your big day.  Happy Lighting!
