An Evening of Glitz and Glamour

I was honored to be a part of "An Evening of Glitz and Glamour" hosted by Solutions Bridal Winter Park and Heather Snively from Weddings Unique. It was a fabulous affair that brought out Orlando and Winter Park's top wedding vendors. With an "Old Hollywood" theme, everyone was dressed in their finest. It was truly a fantastic event...after all, wedding vendors do know how to throw a party! :)

Indian Weddings 101

Everyone knows that I love weddings! I truly think that it's watching all the planning and details come together to create a unique event that makes them so exciting. Every wedding is different. With the infusion of culture, traditions, and personal style, every couple creates a day that truly represents themselves.

Culture plays a prominent role in many weddings. I recently had three brides inquire about my services for their large-scale Indian Weddings. I had to be honest and admit that this was not my area of expertise, but that I was more than happy to take on the challenge. :) However, with these recent inquires, I decided it was time to gain more knowledge in this area...and I definitely did!

As a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants, I was invited to attend an eye-opening seminar, "Indian Weddings 101." We have all seen the rich, warm colors and decor that create a dramatic backdrop to traditional Indian Weddings, however, there is so much more that goes into putting together such a magnificient event. With events such as the Pithi, Mehndi, and Garba all leading up to the actual wedding day and ceremony, marriage is truly a celebration. I am excited with all that I have learned about the Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh weddings. I am now filled with a wealth of knowledge and am eager to help create a luxurious wedding masterpiece that is rich with tradition and culture.

Here are a few photos from the event:

A True Pavé-Colored Wedding

I recently met with a bride who desired a turquoise and black color scheme for her wedding. Since it is apparent that I love these colors (hence Pavé's logo colors), imagine my excitement! This color combo isn't quite as traditional as others, but it will make a stunning impact and add a unique flair to the reception decor. These colors can be a little dark together sometimes, so we even played with the idea of adding a hint of color to the flowers to brighten up the area and really make the colors stand out. Take a look at this inspiration board and let me know your thoughts!

A Modern Touch

Do you desire a chic look for your wedding? Well then you'll love one of the current wedding trends...wedding lounge furniture!!!! I am in love with the amazing look that they add to a wedding! Guests appear in awe as they step away from the usual reception tables and dance floor and find themselves in a separate, chic oasis. Whether you want a fun nightclub feel, an intimate space for your guests to relax, or just another exciting décor element added to your wedding, wedding lounge furniture is a beautiful and modern way to enhance your reception. As long as you have an imagination, the possibilities are endless. Here's some exciting lounge area ideas courtesy of the TheKnot.com.

Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Stacey Feldman from AFR Event Furnishings here in Orlando. She allowed me to see all of the amazing pieces that they offer. From sleek and modern furniture perfect for an urban chic event to plush couches that add just a touch of sophistication, they have it all. I love them over there at AFR! Here's a photo sample of some of my favorite pieces. :)
