Tented Wedding Theme: Around The World

We assisted Michael and Andrea in the planning and coordination of their Tented Outdoor Wedding this past August 2012 in South Lyon, Michigan.  The theme was "Around The World", and it was reflected in their wedding invitations that were Passports for the Guests to arrive.

The card box was an old-fashioned, worn suitcase left open on the Gift Table to hold the cards, and the Seating Chart was designed by the Groom to look like a map of the world with everyone's names assigned to a different country at each table.  The Cuisine was Food Stations from the four corners of the world, located in the four corners of the tent.  There was food from Poland, Italy, America and China.  The Guests traveled from food station to food station filling up on delicacies from each country.

For entertainment there was a Steel Drum Band, Flair Bartenders juggling the bottles while serving at the bar (not to mention blowing flames from their mouths!), fireworks and the most magical display of over 100 Chinese lanterns that floated up into the night sky looking like stars the further away they went.  The Guests had the time of their lives with so many "fun" and entertaining things to do and watch.  The DJ was great and got everyone up and dancing into the "wee hours of the evening"....  The Pictures are courtesy of Blaine Siesser Photography.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful Vow Renewal

Burma and Carlos renewed their wedding vows with an absolutely amazing celebration.  We assisted them with the entire planning process as well as full service coordination on the wedding day.  The historic feel of the ballroom set the mood for their guests along with some cultural entertainment from Jose Bueno's Mariachi Band.  They traveled from table to table during the dinner hour providing music from the six piece group throughout the formal dinner service.  For the first time in the history of wedding receptions in the Ballroom, Burma's garter got caught in the crystal chandelier when Carlos tossed it for the guys. Sorry guys!! All in all, everyone had a great time.  The pictures below are courtesy of Blaine Siesser Photography.

 

 

 

 

 

Movie Scene Duplicaton for your Wedding

Michael and Renee came to Dream Wedding and Event Planners wanting an outdoor forest feeling for their wedding ceremony inside during the cold and snowy month of March in Michigan.  Michael wanted it to look like the wedding scene in the movie, "Twilight".  We duplicated the general feeling, and they were thrilled.  It was everything they had dreamed of and hoped for.  Photos courtesy of Jess and Nate.

Pinterest is the new Online Idea Board

Have you heard of Pinterest yet?  I am sure many of you have, but there are still people out there that have not.  It is the latest online personalized idea board for everyone, whether you are planning a wedding or just want to post and keep track of your dreams, ideas and favorite things.  You just set it up and peruse the web for ideas.  Then you simply "Pin" pictures that you like onto your boards.  See Dream Wedding and Event Planners' boards at http://pinterest.com/weddingdesigner/wedding-and-event-designs/.  It is so much fun you could spend hours "Pinning" and following other "Pinners".  You will probably have to set a timer so the time doesn't get away from you!  Below are some of our "Pins".  You can ask to be invited at www.Pinterest.com.

Your Guests will love a Candy Buffet at your Wedding Reception

Candy Buffets are so popular right now for Wedding Receptions.  At every wedding I have coordinated where they had a candy buffet, the guests could not get enough of it.  You would think only the young adults and children would love this, but all ages gather around to get their bags filled with the candy of their choice.  Most couples choose the old-fashioned candy like Dots or Licorice, but you can step it up a bit with gourmet chocolates that are individually wrapped.  The candy bags can also serve as your Favors.  Whether you hire a candy bar professional or do it yourself, it will definitely be a "hit" at your Reception. 

A True Vintage Wedding!

Love Vintage?  Go all out with the old car, the dress, the shoes, and we can't leave out the suspenders!  You can tailor your entire wedding from ceremony to reception with gorgeous vintage chairs, centerpieces and decor.  You could even have an old time soda machine for your guests to enjoy - ice cold right out of the chest!  The sky is the limit, so why not have fun with it and make it "one for the books"?
