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!

Wedding Chuppahs

“What should my chuppah look like at my wedding?”

If you are having a Jewish wedding, you will need to determine what your chuppah will be like.  Modern bride’s want to add a unique flair to this most cherished tradition.  Do you want something Simple & Tailored?  Nature inspired?  Personalized?  Next up, what times of materials would you like to use:  Iron? Wood? Floating?  Are you going to incorporate the tallit?  Do you want hand dyed fabric?  So many decisions for you to make,  but we would love to show you some of our favorite chuppahs!  Make sure that you remember to dress up the table that will hold the kiddiush cup and wine as well as the easel that will hold your ketubah!

Citrus Orange Color Inspiration

Citrus Orange, what a crisp color to incorporate into your next event (and your Monday)!  You can mix it with  lemon yellow, peony pink, lime green, electric blue, or berry red.  For a warmer palette, you can accent it with autumn brown, sunset gold, slate blue, or scarlet red.  Some brides are concerned with dabbling in the orange pool, but if Kate Spade designed a purse that color, you are good to go!  Check out some of our favorite hues of the Citrus spectrum!

Table Numbers

To sit or not to sit?  That is the question!  It is a common misconception that it is too difficult to figure out where people should sit and who they should converse with the day of the wedding.  Do appreciate that dinner is only about 1/4 of your wedding reception and this is an opportunity for guests to chat at a table.  Now, we are not advocates for placing guests next to each other if they just had a back break up or are secretly hooking up.  You might consider having those wonder guests be on separate sides of your room.  This is not as daunting of a task you would anticipate.  We appreciate that there are many different programs and methods for creating a guest list. However, the major issue that continuously happens is people forget to SAVE THE MOST RECENT VERSION.  Ugh.  This is quite the predicament when your guests don’t have a place to sit or your calligrapher does not create a place card because they did not receive the most updated list. If you decide to do arranged seating, make sure you allocate for some overflow as you will never know who might arrive unexpectedly!  Here are some fun table number ideas to enhance the decor of your table.
