eacock feathers and rich jewel toned colors are the perfect combination for this wedding venue. The bride’s color and style selection was an outstanding complement to the surroundings. Amethyst and black selections added a luxurious accent to this wedding. (We love the black zebra and damask pieces!) This wedding was dramatic, modern and trendy ‌ and sure to be remembered.

HELPFUL HINTS
Wedding Planning Tips CREATE A REALISTIC BUDGET AND STICK TO IT. Be sure to keep track of all your receipts, all your upcoming payments and balances due. Include a percentage of your budget for gratuity to vendors and miscellaneous expenses incurred on your wedding day. DON’T TRY TO DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF. Delegate tasks to family members or friends. Be the “Project Manager”– not Bridezilla. INVOLVE YOUR FIANCÉ. It’s his wedding too! Ask him how he would like to be involved. Talk about his expectations and hopes for this special day. You might be surprised by the ways he is wanting to help you. Be patient and sweet – this time should be fun for both of you. MAKE A PLAN FOR AFTER THE WEDDING. Talk with your fiancé about how your life after the wedding will be. So many couples focus only on getting to that BIG day and fail to talk about the what it takes for both of you to be happy. Take the time to set goals and outline your future plans. REMEMBER, LESS IS MORE. Do you really need favors, cameras, napkin decorations, wine charms and trivia cards on the table? Your wedding does not have to be perfectly color coordinated; it’s okay to use colors that are similar in hue for the detail items. KEEP A CALENDAR, record the dates that vendors need confirmed information. List the dates you have set to make final commitments on printing of the programs, reception song selections, rehearsal dinner head count, final dress fittings and more. CONSULT A WEDDING PLANNER. You might be surprised to find that you can afford to hire a professional. Planners can be hired to plan the entire wedding or can be contracted for the week of or day of the wedding. One of the many benefits of working with a planner is getting discounts from their preferred vendors. Make the call and see what works for you. AND FINALLY HAVE FUN! It’s not often you get the chance to plan a fabulous event with all your friends and family present, so don’t get too stressed. If you have a budget and sensible timeline of when tasks need to be completed, you can enjoy the planning process and your wedding day.

Advice and Ideas on what brides would have done differently, should have done, wish they would have done and did just right!
My wedding day was an absolute blast! There are only two things I would have done differently. First, I would have hired a professional photographer. A professional would have taken all the right photos – one less worry for me. Second, I would have waited longer to select my bridesmaids. I didn’t choose wisely – causing unnecessary drama. So, my advice would be, choose wisely ... choose carefully.

his Route 66 landmark is the perfect backdrop for this eclectically styled wedding. The ceremony stage was elegantly designed with sheer fabric draping. As the bride walked down the candle lit aisle all eyes were on her. Her bouquet, made with deep purple flowers and peacock feathers, complimented her dress which sparkled with jewels and lace. The reception was decorated in dark shades of purple with a variety of centerpieces scattered throughout the reception area. Completing the look were the groom, groomsmen, and bridesmaids dressed in all black. Wedding guests ate, drank and danced the night away.
