We love when brides share wedding photos with us. How cute is this one from our November bride Kristy?

We had fun working with Kristy to design her wedding flowers and no Hurricane was slowing her down. The brides maids bouquets were colorful hand tied bouquets of fall tones using gerbera daisies, roses, mini calla lilies and hypericum berries. They looked smashing with the rich fall colored red dresses. Weddings can be formal events but remember to infuse your personality and have fun with it!

Investing in Those Extra Touches

Ok, I have to admit something here... I admit that I love when I get to do those extra special touches for a wedding. Let's face it, it's always about money right and sometimes those extra special touches that add to the bottom line by costing more just get forgotten.

Take one of this weekends weddings for bride Jessica. Her wedding was held at a brand new Club House and when I say this venue was gorgeous, I mean it's really lovely. Jessica loves everything classic and elegant and had at least a slight taste for a hint of bling. Enter these light fixtures in the ballroom. Although they fit the style of the venue to a T, I noticed that draping some crystals from the fixtures would elevate the whole look of the room, more matching the formal look she was going for. These fixtures took five long strands of crystals and were priced out as a rental (meaning we will pick them up the next day). At $75 per lighting fixture the total cost to dress up these lights was $375.

I can easily see how a family might not want to invest the extra money, especially if they are already over budget, but touches like these are what turn the ordinary into extraordinary. As an event designer, it's details like this that I love and remember. For your wedding, do you think it's worth the extra expense?
