Spiral Seating

I have been obsessed with this idea since I saw it done on TV. Set up your seating in a spiral fashion. Instead of the wedding party walking down a straight aisle they will follow the spiral to the center where the ceremony will take place. All your guests will see how glamorous you and your wedding party are. This also incorporates guests into your ceremony.

I am still waiting for the perfect couple to come along with the space to tackle this new approach to an aisle!

Punch of Color!

I recently put together the above bouquet for my sister. She was moving to a different department at work so I put this together for a little special gift...love the vibrant colors. You don't see this combo everyday but it would be cute for a unique wedding.

Joe Longo & Erica Byerly 9.20.08

Congratulations Joe & Erica! Joe and Erica were the first clients to book with Amber Dawn Wedding Consultants when I started about a year ago. They will always remain close to my heart. They are the perfect example of true love. The way they compliment each other is amazing. Truly a match made in heaven.

Ok, Ok, Ok...I am done gushing about my wonderful first clients. I know you want to hear the dirt! Wait...there isn't any...I worked with wonderful vendors and everything went off with out a hitch. I had to fix some nail polish and lost my valet ticket but other than that it was perfection.

My "A" Team

My wedding this past weekend had a very tight time line. I basically would have had to be in two places at once if not for my wonderful assistants. Being the perfectionist that I am I tend to think that I am the only one that will do it the way it should be. Amanda and Angie proved me wrong this weekend.

I had to leave all reception set up in their hands so that I could make it back in time for the ceremony. When I returned back to the reception site I was amazed at how well it looked. When I went through my check list they had handled everything and I didn't have to change a thing. I realized then how blessed I am to have such great assistants and sisters!

Not only do they get the job done but we have such a blast working together. I am truly blessed. Check out the picture of my "A" team above!

Ryan & Rachel 9.13.08

Remember when I blogged about Rachel's idea for her candy table and how it matched her personality perfectly. Her beautiful wedding was this Saturday and I got the privilege to make her vision become a reality. It was a blast! My husband and I were also Master and Mistress of Ceremonies!

Rachel happens to be my husband's cousin and my old roommate. I can't believe that seven years ago I set them up on a blind date and the actually got married! It was so much fun helping out with a wedding in which all your family was there to join in the celebration.

Bananas for this idea!

I have been looking for an idea to organize my vendor business cards so that they are displayed and cute. I think this has given me some inspiration! More to come...

Sorry!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give my apologizes for the lack of comment posting the last couple of weeks. I have been so busy with a variety of things and am behind on my reading. I will back with a vengeance in two weeks...I promise!

Paper It

Another great idea by Martha Stewart...if you plan on using these around candles make sure you have a glass cylinder between the flame and the paper!

Hilarious!

Go Paper!

Another fantastic idea in lieu of flowers! For special events related to a wedding such as bridal showers and luncheons why not do something different. You don't have to break the bank to throw a stylish affair. Check out these paper ideas from Martha Stewart.

Idea for Globe Lanterns

Round vs Square

Round tables tend to be the norm at weddings but I think the rectangle table is coming back with a vengeance. Rectangle tables can create a flow throughout the room and if you have a big space and a small guest list these tables are perfect to fill the room.
