Destination Wedding Idea

Destination weddings are no longer small affairs for the couple that wants to elope (and bring a few friends!) They are full blown parties with all the details of a state side wedding.

You know that DM Events loves details, so when we spotted these seating cards, we were immediately infatuated! What a great way to incorporate a travel theme! We also love that these seating cards double as a small guest favor. Just write guest's names in calligraphy onto individual cards and tie them onto each chair. As we always say, guests appreciate the subtle details!

Fabric is Important Part II

Just to show you we mean business about this whole fabric thing, we blogging about it again to drive the point home!

Here is another fabulous idea to incorporate fabric into your wedding! As you exit your ceremony, rather than throwing rice or rose petals, have guests wave flags of different patterns and textures. They are easy to place on seats or in holders at the end of the aisle. It makes for a fantastic picture - plus there is no messy clean up!

Fabric is Important!

By now we hope you know the importance of selecting a table linen that accurately reflects the overall design and feel of your wedding.

But don't forget that fabric appears in so many other places on your special day! From the groom's tie, to your shawl, to ribbon textures, the possibilities for incorporating interesting fabrics is endless!

Not sure how to incorporate fabric and texture - calm down it's easy! Pictured here are wedding party gifts in fabric satchels that tie into the outdoor mountain theme of the wedding. Believe us - your guests will appreciate the extra touch.

Remember that truly great decor is achieved in the smallest details!

Upgrade Your Stationary!

So it turns out, there are fabulous vendors out there that we’re still discovering!

Last night during a design meeting with clients, we were introduced to Rifle Paper Co. We promise that their amazing customized illustrations will satisfy all of your wedding stationary needs. To say we are already a bit obsessed would be an understatement!

Ribbons and Bows Galore!

Martha has done it again! Of course we are referring to Martha Stewart and her inspiring ideas for incorporating bows and ribbon (one of our most favorite things!) into your wedding. Whether it is the napkin on a place setting, the boutonniere on Mr. Right, or the ties on your favors, ribbon is a delicate way to add a little more interest to just about anything!!

Check out these great ideas and how-tos. Enjoy!

Cookie Bar

You have heard about Candy Bars (a DM Events favorite) but check out this cookie bar! Realistically any favor that highlights food as a giveaway (rather than a tchotchka) is perfect in our book! Add some cookies and we might just fall in love :)

Not Your Mother's Wedding Album

So the wedding is over and it is time to... get to work! What? How is that possible? When do all the wedding responsibilities end?

After writing an endless sea of thank you cards you still have to get to work on your wedding albums. Albums? Yes, plural :) You will want a comprehensive album for you and your sweetie to look at for years to come but then there is a long line of family members nagging for their own copies. Parents, in-laws, grandparents, overzealous aunts, the list goes on...

What to do... what to do... How about trying something new! Check out Flip Clip books (http://www.flipclips.com/.) Upload a 30 second video clip and choose a cover design and size. That's it! Friends and family will have a great time reliving their favorite moments from your big day!

Flip Clips are all the rage these days and have been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, InStyle Weddings, and HGTV!

Note - if you are a traditional wedding album type of gal, be sneaky and use some video footage from your bachelorette party to make these special keepsakes as gifts for your bridesmaids!
