Autumn is Upon Us

Apple picking. Warm cider. Cinnamon muffins. Autumn is upon us!

Although we don’t like to play favorites… autumn is our season of choice!

Martha Stewart has some great fall wedding ideas! Check out them out!

Seating Cards - Not Just for Tables

We have all been there... the cocktail hour ends and we make a mad dash to the seating card table to find a little tent card with our name and table number written in calligraphy. This small folded card is the first introduction we get to the reception.

But who said that you have to put your seating cards on a table? Actually... who said that they have to be tent cards at all?

Be creative! Have fun! Think about the theme of your wedding - one of our recent couples wanted their seating cards to blend in with our design for their chic barn wedding. To accomplish this, we wrapped the front columns of the barn in thin rope and used clothespins to fasten the cards to the rope. Guests loved the authentic, creative touch!

Dancing Feet

You have heard about the second dress, but what about the second pair of shoes? Many of our brides change from traditional bridal gowns into more comfortable white party dresses half way through their reception to they can kick back and party like everyone else.

One of our summer brides took it a step further! She kicked off her heels and changed into ballet flats!

Lisa Chaffee was determined to dance on the night she become Lisa Boyle and her lovely ballet flats (above) helped her do just that!

A Love Affair with Cupcakes

By now, you probably understand the love affair DM Events has with cupcakes... especially mini cupcakes! Well, we have discovered something ever better (We know what you are thinking, "It's not possible!") Let us introduce you to Bite-sized Cupcakes! Don't be fooled by the small size - these little guys are filled with flavor.

The adorable cupcakes below are made by Baked By Melissa (http://www.bakedbymelissa.com/)

Don't forget to order lots and lots more cupcakes than guests - in our experience, most people eat 4-5 cupcakes! But when they are the size of a quarter, you don't have to feel guilty!

Visit the Baked By Melissa store at 529 Broadway and let us know what you think!

Hello Blogosphere!

It's finally happened! We have joined the blogosphere and we're super excited to get started!

Now that we're here, we ask ourselves "What took so long?!" With the busiest season of the year (summer weddings) coming to an end, we're realizing that we have a lot to say!

This summer was saw a lot of new, fresh trends. Dessert bars became champagne bars, the hem on bridesmaid dresses keeps getting shorter, and our favorite trend of all - cupcakes - is alive and well! Lots of our clients ditched the city and headed to vineyards, beaches and barns. Yes, that's right I said barns! Stay tuned for details!

Please always feel free to post a question or comment.
Happy blogging,
Dawn + Melina
