Wedding Themes

Theme, Concept, Idea.... 

Do you have to have one for your event? 

YES!

Here's why. 

The first expression I get when I tell people that they should have a theme is one of shock and dislike. I mean it's like I just asked them to have all their guest dress up as the wizard of oz characters while they enter on the brick road.... this is not what I mean when I say theme. 

Theme is not a dirty word, its an understanding of the vision you have for your day. A theme could be as straight forward as 'Victorian Country' or as broad as 'Modern Elegance'. Having a concept or theme for your wedding from the beginning is crucial for a seamless event. 

That's why I believe a concept board is so important. After I sit with a client and get the general idea of their vision I go home and apply that vision to a tangible board. Something that can be taken to the florist, the venue, the ceremony... etc. 

For example, this concept board was built for a bride who wanted 'Organic Elegance'... the bride wanted the magic of the outdoors with the elegance of an indoor event. An outdoor reception with all the grandeur of the most beautiful ballroom. This bride wanted earth friendly products, recycled, reused... but amazing. 


The Concept I Created:

A concept board doesn't mean that everything on the board is going to be used... but it's a great starting point for your theme. Changes will happen. At least you can visually see exactly what your dreaming of... 

So start coming up with a .... theme!! 

Happy Theme-ing

Wedding Lust

I love weddings. 

No, really.... I LOVE weddings.

I mean if I could plan my wedding over and over and over, oh baby, I would. 

I know that a lot of people say that they wish they could re-live their wedding day but I am totally one of those nerds who wish they could start at the beginning and do it ALL again. 

I mean it's interesting, when I look back at my wedding, I loved literally every moment of planning. I loved working on every detail and the actual day was way more than anything I could have ever imagined. 

So, it's no surprise that I am now a part of the wedding event industry. Now I can actually detail as many weddings as my little hands can handle. 

Which brings up my thought for the day, 

Details... Why?

Between the catering and the venue... 

How can a bride decide on the little escort card theme... 

and does it really matter? 

YES!

It is my firm belief that the wedding ceremony should be all about the bride and groom and the reception should be about the guests... all these amazing people that have supported the bride and groom to get to this special day. 

Guests L O V E details. 

Think about some of the best weddings you've been to. 

Odds are they had good food, an open bar, good music, and great details... like a candy bar... or a photobooth...

Here is some eye candy to get your detail brain in high gear.... 

The best weddings are in the details.... trust me... 

Detail it out people.... Detail it out!

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello! 

Some of you might already know that I recently, finally, started my business. 

Sweet Romances 

Event Stationery and Design

www.sweetromances.org

I am so excited to start my new journey! It's the best of my two favorite things, paper-crafting/design and parties! 

After my wedding I just knew that somewhere in the event industry there was room for 

my talents... and now there is. 

So, this blog will change a little. It will still be the paper crafting ideas, suggestions, and advise that you all have come to know and love... but, now it will be linked with my business. After all in Sweet Romances...  this is just One Sweet Romance... there are sure to be others!

So stay tuned to see the changes and let me know what you think! 

Here's some eye candy for what the future has to bring.
