Girls Day Out!
Today we had the best time!
Tami and I decided to get out of the office and visit local Resorts and businesses in the area. We found two new businesses that we had to share with all of you! Meet Sheri with Sweet Bay Prints, we stopped in to introduce ourselves and we fell in LOVE with her shop. These are just some of the things she offers:
-fine personalized papers and gifts for adult and child
-custom designs and printing for events
-personalized party supplies and tableware
-wedding party gifts
Santa Rosa Beach
Sheri can help you with all types of invitations, save the date, thank you cards
Perfect programs on a hot summer wedding day!
Welcome gift bags, bridesmaids gifts....
Our Next Stop!
Ladies, if you are looking for the perfect honeymoon swimsuit, cover-up's, hat's or gifts for your bridesmaids this is the place for you! If you are the Grayton Beach area, be sure to check it out.
TIME FOR BREAK!
Break, lunch, research..... we had lunch at the The Back Porch Restaurant in Destin. Great place for lunch, dinner, relaxing by the beach or a laid back reception area. They have an upstairs area that is perfect for the bride wanting to get married on the beach and then have dinner overlooking the beach. It is great for a rehearsal dinner as well. Great atmosphere!
Just waiting for a table...
Tami and I doing research.... one of our Brides is looking for a blue drink for her reception... so why not help her look for the perfect drink! Right?
Look at this view!

Things To Think About
Tasting for the Big Day-
Lighting is the key! When looking at websites and magazines of the flowers and tables that you love, NOTICE .... in the pictures... the lighting in the room. You may think you are drawn to just the flowers, but it could be the background lighting... sometimes cheaper!!
This week was SOOOO MUCH FUN! We had two tastings with our Brides. When planning for your reception, there are so many details to consider, right?? Entertainment, Centerpieces, FOOD!! We always suggest when planning a reception be sure to ask about having a tasting prior to the wedding day. During this tasting, share your vision of the day. Things you want for your guest to experience; appetizers, passed hors d'ouves, plated or buffet, bar idea's, champagne toast, linens and staff expectations.
Remember - not all venue's offer tastings, so if this is the case. Ask the venue/caterer for referrals or have dinner at their on site restaurant!

LINENS CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Pantone’s color of the year, see what our owner Michael Davis has to say about the color “Honeysuckle” in Wedding Planner Magazine.
Its all about Texture and nothing says spring like a bright colored burlap cloth. These custom made linens are made out of authentic burlap fabric dyed to perfection. Here are some of the new colors.
Bold accents of black paired with the bright vibrant colors of spring. Black and yellow is a hot color combo right now. Black also looks great with pinks, purples and even blue hues.
Pre-Planning of Natalie & Gregory's Wedding
Natalie and Gregory are getting married August 13th, 2011 @http://www.sandestin.com/
This Bride and Groom has chosen one our most popular packages - The Lavish Soiree package
We help them plan EVERYTHING!! Watch as we plan their wedding one step at a time!
We absolutely LOVE this couple! We are in the beginning stagies of planning their wedding. We found the location the first weekend they were here from Louisianna. They will be visiting next week, to meet with a florial designer and choose a band for their reception. Follow their story, because we are going to show how fun planning a wedding can be!!
YAY!! We have found the perfect band "Silk E Smooth". Natalie and Gregory wanted a band that would keep their guest up and going throughout the night and we are confidant that we found the perfect band to do it! They were HIGHLY recommended by past Brides and their pricing is so reasonable!
Not only were we able to accomplish finding a Band, but we found the perfect fit for our Floral Designs. Our meeting with the floral designer, Natalie shared pictures, colors, thoughts. Melanie with Bella Flora, took the time to see our Brides vision and she gave her unique idea's but best of all, saved her money. Thanks so much Melanie!
Next plan - The "Welcome Party", they want something simple and relaxing for their guest! We'll let you know what we come up with, stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!
