We believe that every wedding is special, whether it’s an intimate celebration or your fantasy wedding. Your complimentary consultation is our initial meeting, an informative hour to discuss your personal style and overall vision of your special day. You can decide just how involved you’d like us to be.

It starts with a vision, but meticulously implemented, it ends with a dream - YOUR DREAM. You will benefit from all the industry-related resources and experience I’ve acquired in the last twelve (12) years, as I assist you in creating the wedding day you’ve always envisioned... Couples select their wedding sites based on a variety of factors, and the venue that best fits their needs may not necessarily reflect their wedding style. A kosher kitchen, an unusually large capacity, or even the sentimental value of a particular locale may make it a must-have, regardless of its design or decor conflicts. Fortunately, there are a host of options available for temporarily, but completely, transforming a wedding site; and with the proper team backing your dream, the sky, is quite literally, the limit. GETTING STARTED Assuming you have the freedom to temporarily redesign a chosen space to your liking (restrictions should be inquired about in advance), you can begin working with your consultant to create your vision. Successfully communicating any ideas you’ve already formed about the desired style or theme for the event is extremely important, as is understanding the ideas put forth by your consultant. In fact, once I’m familiar with the tastes and personalities of a client, I’ll begin sketching the décor concepts so the couple can clearly envision my ideas. Once the foundation had been laid, a team of professionals that are a match for your tastes and personalities, as well as capable of creating your unique vision, can be assembled. DESIGN TEAM Although a consultant will visualize and invest the design aspects of a transformation, it takes a range of professionals to implement the physical aspects of the project. The following specialists are those that compose the core of a design team: Floral Designer - A gifted florist who can appreciate - as well as execute - the concepts within your desired design, is a vital member of the team. They are responsible not only for supplying, delivering, and arranging all of the floral elements of a wedding, but also the ceremony structure, be it a chuppah, arch, or stage. Vessels that showcase flowers can run the gamut from chandeliers to banisters, and floral arrangements can range from tables paved in blossoms to towering sculptures of blooms. Design Firm - A design firm will help create the requested atmosphere of an event through the use of furniture, drapery, and other physical components. You can commission everything from the entire suite of custom mirror- topped cocktail tables interspersed with faux gems to an intricate system of suspended crystals that span the entire ceiling of a hotel ballroom. Expert design companies are able to bring even the most ambitious ideas and requests to fruition, and work in glass, wood, fabric and more. Lighting Designer - In addition to evoking a certain ambiance and highlighting areas of interest, intelligent lighting can change the look of an event throughout the different phases of the evening. You can request that a designer use various colors to highlight a custom-made water wall (made by a design firm) to employ as a backdrop to the stage at a reception. Other creative options include gobo lighting on the dance floor or even along the walls of the space to create a temporary decorative pattern or border. These types of experts aren’t merely vendors, but artists, and their services are key to completing a full transformation. From commissioning a bar carved entirely of ice to designing custom light fixtures to be used for the day, your consultant may be brimming with creative ideas. Being aware of your design options, and the businesses and artists available to implement them, can help turn the space you selected into the realm of your dreams. As your Decor & Design Consultant, SYE will... Meet with you to discuss your overall vision and create a preliminary design and decor plan. Accompany you on one (1) venue site tour to effectively evaluate your overall décor direction. Design up to three (3) inspiration boards reflective of your color-scheme, theme and overall wedding style. Assist with the rental of custom linens, chair covers, table settings, fabric draping, and all other décor props. Work in conjunction with your floral designer to ensure that your centerpieces are created according to your vision. We will request a floral centerpiece prior to approving for production. Assist the lighting technician to create your final reception light-o-gram in order to acquire the proper appearance and flow of the room.
Oversee the layout design of “details”, including menu and escort or place cards, signage, custom aisle runner designs, and any other personalized items to enhance and coordinate with your overall theme or color scheme. Will offer guidance with invitation, escort card and menu design, and any other printed stationary to ensure they directly reflect the overall tone and theme of the wedding. Orchestrate and coordinate decor-related vendors to ensure that all creative elements have a cohesive design. Be present two (2) hours on your wedding day to ensure all decor logistics are implemented according to plan. 20% Discount off all items from our boutique. From $3,000 up to 20 hours
