Coordinating your theme

My hope with every client is to build a relationship with them. I mean, after all, we do choose to work together on one of the most important days of your life. I enjoy finding out what makes them tick, what their hobbies and passions are, what their favorite colors are. I especially enjoy making friends with my clients and vendors, for me that is one of the best things about this business - the people!

By choosing our Something Blue, concept design package, we choose colors and themes and take design ideas to the next level. We get to work incorporating your theme with your reception location, save the dates, invitations, placecards, table linens, favors and additional decor items so, in the end, we clearly have a complete look that you are happy with.

Take for instance, your love for biking, vibrant pinks and blues. Let us create your storyboard and see what ideas come into play. It's the greatest way to see for yourself how things will look when they all come together.

Call us to today to schedule your inital consultation and let us help you with the creative process.

Storyboard created by The Dressy Group including Pantone Colors, Ann Taylor Dresses, and Nedrebo's Formal Wear

The TENT: Dress it up with color

Take your drab white tent and dress it up with lights, flowers, garland, and paper lanterns and you've got yourself one beautiful showcase. Easy and cost effective for a do it yourself bride, just need a trustworthy delegate. Or you could hire us to assist with design and decoration set up, which you'll find is included in our Something Borrowed, day of planning package.

This is one of my favorite photos and concept ideas, taking a beautiful collection of flowers and layers of tulle for simple display of elegance. Even if your tent sides don't cooperate for this type of look, you could still get away with this on the inside of the tent with the tulle being draped from one side of the tent to the other.

Add just a little bit of color and lights and here you have a glow that makes your outside venue shine. How romantic and festive for a wedding.

Call us today - 608.234.8304 for your initial consultation and we'll help you plan the wedding of your dreams.

Its in the details

I have a 4 year old niece who is a girly girl and I love her to pieces. Bill and I have asked her to be the flower girl in our wedding and she is very excited! You ask her what she wants to wear and she says pink and purple. Must be her favorite colors, mmm, not sure about that but ok. Alexandra and I have to come to terms with what she will wear but I have a feeling that when she puts on the pretty white taffeta dress, she won't care what color it is. She will think she is a princess and I have to say I am looking so forward to having her join me and my sister Kate on my special day.  I was thinking too that she could get some funky shoes that come in pink and purple. Maybe that will satisfy her!

This photo is from last summer, can you tell I love her?! Regardless, she and I have lots of details to work out when I am home at Christmas time. I have narrowed down many things on the TO DO list but at the beginning it was definitely a work in progress. So much to think about....

Bill and I love biking and sailing. How do you combine those ideas for a wedding? And I wanted cerise pink. Cerise pink - what is that? Its a beautiful shade of dark pink, not fuschia and not red-ish pink but somewhere in between. I love gerbera daisy's and Bill's favorite color is orange. Uggg. How do you get all this to come together you ask? Well its all in the details. This is the part that I LOVE, taking initial concepts and bringing them to flourishing.

We've chosen some very beautiful and fun details with a little help from our florist friends at Flowers From Sky's the Limit in Petoskey . The other details, well they will be left as a surprise, but I can say its all coming together very nicely!
