Purple Haze – An Inspiration Board

I felt it was time to add another inspiration board to my growing collection.  Shades of purple and silver have been favorites of mine to use for some time now.  It’s a very regal combination, and can be used in every season of the year.  In the spring and summer, you can use lavender and lilac.  In the autumn and winter months, you can use plum, royal purple, eggplant, slate and charcoal grey, and pewter.  Around the Christmas holidays, you can jazz things up with jewel tones and sparkling silver.  The possibilities are endless. 

I see this board as being used for a late summer to mid-winter affair, with colors and textures being rich and plentiful.  A true feast for the senses.  This is where you can indulge in velvets, satins, silks, and lush bouquets of calla lilies, roses and other blooms.  Imagine the walls of your event venue being splashed with washes of red and blue lighting to compliment your tables.  Picture your event with lots of romantic candles everywhere, and the heavenly scent of your flowers in full bloom, atop gleaming silver candleabras, and shimmering tableclothes.  Sound good?  I can’t wait to bring my ideas to life!  Enjoy!

Holly & James – An Engagement Announcement

 

I am pleased to announce the Engagement of Holly and James.  This lovely couple will be married in early May 2009, in an afternoon ceremony, at the Kidston Pavillion of the Fellows Riverside Gardens, located within the Mill Creek Metroparks in Youngstown, Ohio.  The reception will take place afterwards at Bruno’s Restaurant & Catering Facililty, located in Boardman, Ohio.  This intimate wedding will feature lots of natural elements, including the bride’s favorite daisies, and several handmade projects.  I can not wait to share all of the  charming, creative details with you after this event.  Best wishes to this wonderful couple!

Break the Ice at Your Guest Tables!

Chirp, Chirp, Chirp!    Do you hear the sound of crickets in the background?  That’s the sound of awkward silence at your event or wedding reception.  Avoid this at all costs!!  Seriously, why not encourage conversation at your tables, beyond the usual “What do you do for a living?”, or “Don’t you love the decorations?”  Why not have a trivia game going at each table?  It could be as simple as a list of “Did you know?” questions about the couple, with the answers on the back, or you could have certain VIP guests ready with the answers, and the other guests must go to each person to gather the answers.  You could have questions about the local area the wedding is held in, if it’s a touristy spot, or about locations the couple has visited.  You could even offer some type of small dessert or prize to the guest that gets the most answers correct, or the most answers in a specific amount of time.  This is even fun to do during the cocktail hour, when most guests are chatting with others anyway. 

Below are some examples of trivia games you can share with your guests:

Wedding Bingo

Wedding Word Searches or Scrambles

Bridal Mad Libs (Note: this could get a bit snarky, so try to keep it clean!)

Wedding Crossword Puzzles

Six Degrees of Separation (Bride and Groom Style)

A Scavenger Hunt about the bride and groom, with only verbal/written clues or answer sheets.  There’s no need for actual physical items.

 

Green Tip:  Use recycled paper, organic inks, and local printers for your paper goods.  Save money, time, and have fun!

There are lots of other ideas for icebreakers, but these will get your guests mingling and talking, and your event will be remembered long after it’s over.  You never know what connections will be made between people, just from a simple conversation.  Enjoy!!

Light up the Night!

I found this little gem on Bridalwave this morning!  These would be a great addition to a summer garden party or wedding, or even as ambience in a darkened restaurant.  Enjoy!

Miniature table-top wine glass lamps

Isn’t this just a wonderful idea? The tiny lampshades sit on your wine glasses, transforming them into nightlights to give a gentle and romantic glow. If you’re planning on a spring and summer wedding with an outdoor element, I can see these working particularly well – but they can be used indoors, too. Why not use them to create mood lighting during your ceremony, then remove the candles to return the glasses to their usual function once the celebrations begin?

You can buy an assorted pack of three shades for €12 at Charles & Marie, but if you want a large number, making your own may be more cost-effective. There’s a pattern available here that shows you how.

For Useful Gifts, Brides Goes Postal

Brides magazine’s gift bags included a sheet of customized photo stamps. Photo: BizBash FROM NEW YORKCustomized photo stamps aren’t new, and postage might sound like a common enough item, but how often do you receive a gift bag with something truly useful? Carolyn Chauncey, executive director of creative services at Brides magazine, chose to include stamps adorned with an assortment of past covers for the publication’s 75th anniversary celebration last Wednesday. Guests departed with a bag that included a sheet of 10 authentic U.S. Postal Service stamps (each with a value of 62 cents, a nod to the higher cost of postage for wedding invites). How’s that for an inexpensive, thoughtful, and effective way for attendees to remember your event?    —Mark Mavrigian
