IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Wedding details are anything and everything about a wedding that provide some *look* to a wedding. This "look" could also be considered a general style or theme. The fantastic thing about wedding details is that many are common to a wedding- centerpieces, bouquets, table numbers, etc. The details set the tone of the wedding and bring out the couple's personality. Everything begins with the "save the Date"; this is the first time that guests learn the tone of the wedding. If the save the date is traditional, the guests will understand that this may be a formal affair; if it is more casual, the marriage most likely will be less formal. The first question that needs to be answered is, "How the couple envisions their wedding date" This will help the wedding planners to understand how to plan the event. This also should be the guiding point for the rest of the planning - the actual invitations, the venue, the dress, flowers, the bride and groom party look, and food everything should be connected and with the same tone.

Before the initial "save the date" is sent out, couples should evaluate the following:

Budget - this will determine the entire event. Something that needs to be set from day one, and we anticipate an increase as the date gets closer.

Tone - Formal, casual, mesh formal.

Color palette - this will influence the look and feel of the event—Pastel colors vs vivid ones. Soft hues are more romantic than vivid colors, reflecting a more energetic and wild look.

The Cake - If the wedding has a soft look, perhaps a more traditional design will work best. But the cake should be less traditional if the look is more colorful. Photographer - choosing the right photographer to match how you want your wedding to be remembered. The images that will be captured will tell the story.

Wedding details should be a reflection of the couple's personality.
