On base you should look to the Military Chaplain and Base Protocol Officer for advice and to get the proper protocol based on the branch being represented.  This is also where a Certified Wedding Planner can also help out as they are trained on the different needs that come along with Military Weddings.  There are different uniforms (based on time, location), proper seating, invitation work, and traditions to follow.

Do still remember that bride and groom can decide how they would like the evening to feel.  Some couples opt for the two them to be in civilian clothes and attendants or guest can choose uniform.  Other couples prefer the uniform at the wedding and require it of their guest.

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~

Wedding Party Dance/Flash Mob

What do you want your guest to remember on your special day?  It could be anywhere from the love that is shown to a memorable unscripted moment.  Those details that sometimes are not scripted are the ones that last a lifetime.

Well, how about the ones that are scripted, and you may or may not be involved.  Yes we’re talking about the Flash Mob craze!  You can hop over to YouTube and find any number of wedding moments that made their way onto YouTube.  But is that your goal?  Are you the guest that can rally the troops to surprise the guest of honor?  Are you the bride or groom that can coordinate and keep it hush-hush?  Even at a Mitzvah, can you and your friends surprise the crowd?

OK, so we have all seen the videos on YouTube with synchronized dancing by the groomsmen (and this is definitely memorable!!), or the Bride and her Dad in a choreographed dance, or a Flash Mob by your guest.

Well, would you be daring enough for a Flash Mob Wedding?  This is truly a unique and creative twist on a wedding ceremony.

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?
