All about the...GROOM!

It's no secret that the wedding day revolves around the Bride and Groom. As a guest, you may talk about the bride's dress, her hair, make-up, bouquet...etc. However, sometimes we are so focused on the Bride that we forget to notice how dapper the Groom looks, as well. 

One thing that will make your Groom stand out, and let the guests notice just how spiffy he is, wearing a unique bow tie!

Forage Bow ties are my personal favorite! With a variety of colors and styles, you will never fail to find the perfect one! Each one is hand-crafted, self-tying and adjustable! What's better than that!? Here is just a preview of their amazing selection! Check them out with the link above, 

you won't be disappointed!

Sky Lanterns

Nothing ends an evening like a memorable send-off for the Newlyweds! Releasing Sky Lanterns is something fun and symbolic, that will keep your guests buzzing long after the night is over!

Sky Lanterns originated in the Chinese culture and are still used today in celebrations and festivals. In their culture, it is considered good luck to release a lantern, and they view it as their worries floating away. 

Personalizing your Sky Lantern release is easy, and that's what we love!

1. Sky Lanterns come in colors! Yay! 

You can coordinate with your wedding palette! 

2. Provide guests with Sharpies; They can write a message to the 

bride & groom before the big release!

3. Create a playlist of songs that can play in the 

background while you enjoy watching the lanterns float away.

4. Also,for all of you Eco-friendly-loving couples, 

you can purchase lanterns that are wire-free and 

100% safe for the environment!

  

Fall Wedding Inspiration

Fall is finally coming, and that means a whole lot more than just shorter days and cooler weather! It means we get to play with the lush colors of nature, the fruits of the season, and so much more! Here is just a little fall wedding inspiration, that might just make you fall in love all over again! Enjoy!

1. Have blankets for your guests if it is an outdoor wedding/reception. It not only brings in some color, but it can really keep up the warm atmosphere during the entire event!
2. Keep the theme going with Fall-themed favors for your guests at the end of the evening. Candy apples are just one of the many, many things you could give! 
3. The Candy Bar is definitely something that has been quite the trend in the industry lately. How about mixing it up a little by doing a Candy or Caramel Apple Bar?
4. You just can’t beat the photographs taken at fall weddings, with the foliage in sight. 
5. We love the warm, lush colors of autumn. They are certainly not limited to the ones shown above! 
6. Seasonal flowers and unique elements tied into the bouquets and boutonnieres. The possibilities are truly endless! 

Mary & Francesco's LPGA Wedding

Mary and Francesco had such a special wedding day in June!  They began the day at Port Orange Presbyterian Church, where they exchanged marriage vows and celebrated the baptism of their adorable daughter.   With guests arriving from all corners of the globe, the celebration was truly joyful as old family and friends reunited for this happy day.  As we were walking through the reception, we must have heard six different languages being spoken, with what we're sure was one common theme:  Mary & Francesco were in love and their families were overjoyed to share it with them!
Our custom gold linens and charger plates really allowed the vibrant red Freedom roses to pop.  Rachael Kasie Designs provided the beautiful centerpieces of submerged orchids with floating candles and red ribbon treatment.  The head table had a lush bed of roses that carried over to the show-stopping gold scrolled cake provided by the Pastry Studio. 

If there was one thing that really stands out about the reception, it was definitely the FOOD!  The staff at LPGA went all out to create a magnificent menu, from multiple carving stations, to a buffet with four entree choices, to personal creme brulee offerings!  

Thanks so much to Inga Finch Photography for providing these photos from the day-- it was truly a beautiful wedding!
