How to make them ... SPEECHLESS!

The newest issue of Louisville Bride recently debuted (well back in January) and it would not be complete without a feature about yours truly. In this issue we are the expert planners that give you tips and tricks to make your wedding speechless. Check out the entire article at http://louisvillebride.epubxpress.com/loub1 pages 28 and 29!

We are also featured on a brand new website that is Kentucky and Southern Indiana premier wedding answer source. Somethingbluecollective.com is a collection of 30 top vendors in the Louisville area that give you invaluable advise for planning your wedding, all in an awesome video format! In our video we give you detailed information on how to WOW! your guest with your centerpieces. Check out the video for more details, but here is the cliff note version….

1. WOW Your Guest with Three Different Centerpieces – Tall centerpiece (over 4 feet tall), medium centerpiece (24 to 48 inches tall) and a low centerpiece (4 to 12 inches tall). Keep 12 to 24 inches above the table clear, so you don’t distract from conversation!

2. WOW them with Bling – Use non- floral elements in your centerpiece such as glassware, crystals, feathers, and wire to create interest and add texture to the centerpiece. And of course, every centerpiece looks better with crystals!

3. WOW Your Guest with Lighting – Lighting on or in a centerpiece is a great way to complete the look. This can be accomplished with battery operated LED lights that come in a multitude of colors or with the simplest votive candle. Don’t underestimate to the power of candle light…it makes everyone look better!

Louisville Bride Feature

So it has been awhile since the last post, but I think that this is worth it…our first publication! In the current issue of Louisville Bride (http://louisvillebride.epubxpress.com/) we have a four page spread right in the center of the magazine of an amazing wedding we designed and created in January. Kristen and Adam were a great couple to work with, from glitter everywhere to forty five inch long feathers in the bridal bouquet, their wedding was a modern winter soiree inspired by 1950’s Hollywood glam!

White Grecian columns, several of yards of fabric, a couple trees and a few hundred candles help to create an amazing setting for the ceremony. Spanning over eight feet wide and reach eleven feet tall, white river birch branches formed a natural arch for the couple.

For the reception, hundreds of feet of Swarovski and Austrian crystal dripped from five foot tall silver gilded tree. Adorned with pendants, candles and nestled in a sophisticated urn of lush white flowers, these trees made up only a third of the centerpieces. Arrangements, over two feet in diameter, were created with a mixture of white flowers to represent a bed of freshly fallen snow; while the other centerpieces towered over ten feet tall bursting with white dendrobium orchids, calla lilies, roses, and crystal covered branches, it was no mistake this was a winter night full of sparkle. Blue lighting completely transformed the room and the rhinestone studded orchid at each place setting help to make this event … speechless!
