With countless options available, the details are those added touches that really make your wedding shine. The things that guests leave saying, 'did you see' or I can't believe she even thought of.


We are surrounded with great sources for inspiration! Fashion, art, nature, home decor, and the unlimited number of bridal magazines can certainly act as a great starting point. I believe one of the single most important things to keep in mind when selecting your signature touch is to consider your guests first. How can you make this one of their most memorable weekends? How can you send them off with a lasting impression of your big day? Here are just a few areas to consider when diving into the details:


SIGNAGE

Think of clever ways to make them feel welcome the minute they arrive. Maps, agendas, about town guides can certainly help them feel right at home. Signage is also a key portion of your event when selecting escort cards, unique table assignments, alternate guest book ideas, repetition of logos and the list goes on.


KEY FOCAL POINTS

Is there an old oak tree just begging to be noticed? Or an alternate entry to wow your guests? I encourage you to go on a site visit to seek out those hidden treasures.

 

 

 

DESIGN AND DECOR

Touches in the napkin folds, centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres are all areas to note.


AGENDA

What are some things you can offer to your guests throughout the timeline of the evening? Organized activities? Late night lounges? Midnight snacks?

 

 


LIGHTING

Although you may think this is simply unnecessary, setting aside a portion of your budget for lighting absolutely brings your event to life! I've witnessed this magical transformation countless times! Cut your dollars elsewhere and look into the many lighting options available.
Details don't have to break the bank! Get a head start and choose to add your signature style with the help of your friends.


Oh and one last detail.. have fun and get creative!
