white bouquets

No matter how many weddings I see, work and attend. I will never get tired of a classic white bouquet...

let's talk: seating

Okay, let's talk about seating. In speaking to a few clients and friends, I am coming to see that many brides are against assigned seating. Now, assigned seats or tables are not necessary for every event and I will be the first to tell you not to overcomplicate any aspect of event planning that doesn't need to be.

How-evah. I feel strongly that even if your event includes heavy hors d'oeuvres, stations and more of a flowing feel, if you expect all of your guests to be seated for a period of time during your reception, they should at least be assigned to specific tables. Brides seem to think this makes it more formal. I think it makes things easier. Guests don't like to think. They don't want to have to worry about where they will be sitting, who will be sitting together or where to leave their purse. If you do not assign seats and it is announced that the bride and groom would like everyone to take seat, you will see scramble. I hate scramble. And don't even get me started on my irrational fear of people moving chairs from table to table.

Yikes. Phew. Moving on. I also think that escort cards or place cards offer another (inexpensive) opportunity to be creative and show the couple's personality.

Now, there is my two cents, what's yours? Are you pro-assigned seating or do you prefer for guests to be on their own?

Happy Valentine's Day

Wedding...

And honeymoon...

Both from Saks

reception fun (and games!)

I love when couples keep things light and fun... and what better way to do that with an outdoor wedding than to have chic corn hole boards to keep guests entertained during cocktail hour! Easy, inexpensive, personal. Sign me up...

Tiered Lace Gown

I'm loving this dress from BCBG... the style, the price, the low back...

Oh, Drew...

While watching the Golden Globes last night, I was completely taken by Drew Barrymore's dress. If I had to choose any dress to wear from last night, it would hands down be Drew's. I would love to be able to say I'd go for Jennifer Aniston's super hot look, but unfortunately, I would need her body to come along with it.

Ps...Everyone should see Grey Gardens. It is absolutely fascinating. A must-see, if you ask me.


So, tell me, what dress would you wear if you could choose any from last night's ladies? Also, I have to admit there were a lot of movies last night up for awards that I have yet to see. What should I see first?!?
