Sick of Chargers?


Are you sick of seeing the same round chargers at every wedding? Me too! The picture above was in the Martha Stewart Weddings magazine and I loved the concept. This version is a little informal but think what you could do with elegant cardstock!

You could choose your own shapes, colors, designs...the options are endless. If you are not the creative type don't worry! There are many professionals in the area that would love to help you out.

Client Perks Program


I am starting a Client Perks Program! I hope to have it up an running within a month and am really excited. It will be used as a vendor networking tool as well as provide my clients with discounted products and services.

When a couple signs a contract for one of my wedding packages they will be eligible for the Client Perks Program. I plan to have a variety of different vendors within the wedding and beauty industry from photographers to tanning salons. Each vendor will be able to decide what type of discount they would like to offer my clients if they decide to use their services. These can be changed and updated at anytime by giving me a call or sending an email. It is also a great tool to promote new products and services to our wonderful wedding clientele.

The vendors in the Client Perks Program will also be linked from my website and blog. If you are interested in being part of this wonderful program or you have any questions please give me a call at (616)534-3492 or shoot me an email at amber@detailsbyamberdawn.com.

Be You!


I have known Ryan and Rachel for years...I actually married her cousin and set them up on their first date!!! If I could describe Rachel in a couple of words it would be...Hilarious, Fun, and Energetic. She is planning their September 13th wedding and we were talking about her favor ideas.

She has decided to do a candy buffet for her guests. The treats that pop into my head when I hear about a candy buffet are chocolates, truffles, mints, etc. When she sent me the above picture that inspired her I instantly started laughing and thought how perfect! She has a candy buffet that matches her personality perfectly.

You can have something that you have seen at other weddings and make it your own. Tap into who you are as individuals and as a couple and your wedding will be remembered by all.

Go Bold With Color!


Looking for an element that will set your wedding apart from all others? Dying to be unique and true to your personality? Dare to be different with stunning color schemes!!! If you are sick of traditional white, black, and pastel the best way to make your mark is to choose colors that are unexpected.

Look around you to find your inspiration. Everyone surrounds themselves with things they like the most whether it is your favorite skirt, the color scheme of your bedroom, or even the packaging of your favorite foods. Match a vibrant color with a neutral or even put three colors together to add variety throughout your event!

Capture your guests the second they walk into the venue and make your wedding the talk of the town!
