Once again...ETSY! Love this site. They have some talented people on this site who make amazing things that you don't find just anywhere. Such as these guest books!
I never really liked the color pink growing up. It came across as very girly and growing up with 3 boys there was no room for girly! Black has always seemed very classic and chic to me and a total staple in my wardrobe.
A couple years ago I did a reception for my friend Julie. Her colors were pink, white, and black. Her arrangement was adorable down to the Good&Plenty she had me spread around on the white linens. Now pink is one of those colors that I like. Can't say I love it, but there are a lot of shades and tones of pink that if done right can look very elegant or playful.
This color board was fun to do since it isn't super girly. I like the modern look of the flowers, playfulness of the cake, and the small touches with the candy.
Also using a basic black dress with a ribbon in pink is great because your girls can wear that dress again by just taking off the ribbon. I love being able to pick versatile things for weddings. In reality it is one day out of your life and make it memorable, but also try to make items repeatable!
I can never stress enough about the importance of a "day of" schedule to keep your wedding running smoothly and on time.
How many of you have been in a bridal party at a wedding that started late and no one knew where to go or where to be? I have! It's frustrating and annoying to all involved.
The Cure!!!!! Take time to sit down and make a schedule. You already know the names and contacts and times all your vendors are coming as well as the photographer. Just start with the rehersal and go through the entire next day.
Some things you may want to make sure you have on your schedule for bridal party:
1. Hair appointment times for ALL bridesmaids
2. Locations and times of where the bridal party will get dressed at
3. Time and location of pictures
4. Time to be in place for the wedding
For the schedule for your planner:
1. List of vendors and contact information
2. Schedule of which vendor is arriving at what time and with what
3. Start of wedding
4. Reception start time
5. Order of reception ( Dinner/cake cutting/first dance/bar open and closed/ect.)
6. Time you must be out of reception area
Also you will want to give your coordinater a copy of your contract from both the location for the wedding and the reception. This is important so they know what you have aggreed to and that everything is in place before you leave. You have put down a deposit and most times you can get it back if you follow the rules.
I enjoy working on schedules, so if you would like some help send me an email!
