by Patti Allan Table markers are a wedding detail that are generally boring and overlooked. You’ve spent countless hours on tiny details, so make sure the tables looks perfectly put together with a small, yet effective decoration. Custom table numbers add a festive touch to your tables while playing up the wedding theme. Here's a very inexpensive but sweet way to mark the tablesat the wedding reception.I wanted to combine the rustic and delicate elements of burlap and lace at the reception that I had used in decorating for the wedding ceremony. For these table numbers,I used small blocks cut from a 2X4. I then wrapped the rough wood blocks with a length of burlap. I stenciled the numerals on the burlap and then gathered it all up at the top and tied it with a white organza ribbon. A little white rose was adhered to the top, and so, with minimal expense, and a little time, the table numbers were completed. Natural wood and burlap combined with lace and roses- It's a dramatic combination! Supplies 2x4 cut into 4-inch lengths Burlap fabric cut into 3 1/4 by 16-inch pieces Black acrylic paint Numeral stencil Organza ribbon Stencil brush or sponge Hot glue Directions Step 1:Cut the 2X4 into the 4-inch lengths.  You want a rough look but you can lightly sand any edges that are really rough. Step 2:Cut the burlap fabric into 3 1/4-x 16 inch pieces. Step 3:Tie the burlap around the block of wood and then gather the burlap together and tightly tie the top in a bow with organza ribbon. Step 4:Slip a piece of cardboard between the burlap and the wood in the area you want your numeral. Step 5:Using black acrylic paint, stencil the numeral onto the burlap. Allow it to dry before removing the cardboard piece. Step 6:Adhere a silk flower to the ribbon with a dot of hot glue.Happy DIY! ...read more

It’s not something we like to admit, but many of us tend to get frazzled at the notion of planning a basic dinner party. So the thought of planning an entire wedding can cause a great deal of anxiety for certain couples who are newly engaged.  Who can blame them? A wedding isn’t just a one day affair – there are numerous celebrations revolving around the big day, all of which require meticulous arranging.If you’re a bride- and groom-to-be excited at the thought of organizing your wedding, I applaud you!On the other hand, if you are super-busy, short on organizational skills, overwhelmed, or don’t have enough family members and friends for support, just call on a wedding planner to help you with the whole affair!  Sure it’s an added expense to your overall wedding budget, but the payoff can be well worth it: a professional consultant can sit down with both of you and help you come up with a vision for your wedding day if you don’t already have one. She can help you organize all of the necessary chores revolving around your wedding, and even keep you on task and aware of deadlines for deposits and decisions.Here are tips for finding your wedding planner, setting expectations and communicating, and how to keep within your budget.It’s one thing to ask your bridal party and family members to help with various aspects of the wedding plans, but when it comes to hiring a wedding planner, at all times remember that this is to be a working relationship – you are the boss, she is your “employee” of sorts.Typically, on an initial consultation a professional wedding planner will offer couples a complete menu of wedding planning services, along with her fees – then it’s up to them to determine exactly what they would like assistance with.  So communicating expectations clearly and precisely to the planner early on is imperative and will save you from potential stress later on.In addition to sorting out and delegating tasks to the wedding planner, it’s crucial to discuss the contact flow between you. So often I hear from distressed brides who are deep into the wedding plans, but can’t reach their consultants! To avoid this, before finalizing the contract make sure you find out what the bridal consultant’s response time will be to your phone calls, texts and emails (24-36 hours is reasonable) and get it in writing. Other tips for communicating well with your wedding planner include:Setting up a bi-weekly or weekly conference call or meeting to go over your to-do lists.Outlining in advance which vendors you would like her to visit with you and your groom, and include a timeframe for each appointment. These can include the venue, the caterer, florist, baker and entertainment.There’s a golden rule among wedding planners – treat each bride as though she’s your one and only client. Of course, while any good wedding planner will strive for this ideal, do keep in mind that in all likelihood, you won’t be her sole client. So be patient and considerate with your requests, and she will treat you likewise.Give us a call if you need assistant with planning your wedding.Happy planning! ...read more

On Friday, Sept 7, we received a call from a DIY planner. The caller was looking to rent two picnic tables for an outdoor event they were hosting on Sunday, Sept 9, in Northern Liberty. I paused for a moment because I was somewhat in disbelief that someone would call just to rent one or two tables for an event. First, I suggested to the caller that renting two picnic tables which is expensive and would cost more in delivery, to think about using two regular tables, instead. Such as one 8ft or two 6ft tables which would serve the same purpose. Second, I suggested to the caller that if you are member of a church to find out if you could use the tables on that given date. However, if you are not a member of a church, to check with any local church and see what their policy is for renting tables/chairs; whatever the price, it is still cheaper than calling a rental company. The caller was unaware that it was possible to do this and said they would check out their local church in their area. If you are on a budget and you see that the day before your event, you need an extra table or two or even chairs, check with the obvious places – your local churches or your local community centers first before calling a rental company. Happy planning! ...read more

If you decide to have your wedding on a Friday or a Sunday, you will reap several rewards: both financial and otherwise. You will save time, you will probably save a significant amount of money, and you will find that your guests may appreciate having a Saturday free to spend time with you and the other guests they know. Maximize Your Dollar  For Friday or Sunday weddings, the majority of banquet facilities, photographers, video producers, musicians/entertainers, and limousine services are much more willing to negotiate in order to reach a price that suits your budget. Vendors tend to see Friday and Sunday as bonus days, a time when they can earn income. Savings on these services can really add up, making this option a great way to save money without having to sacrifice that quality of your wedding. Save Time On a Friday, you will probably have your wedding in the evening, which means that the ceremony is followed immediately by dinner. This means that you will avoid the extra cost and hassle of a one-to-two-hour interim reception or cocktail party. Having the ceremony and reception back to back may ensure more people at the church ceremony.  Additionally, a Friday/Sunday wedding frees up at least one day of the weekend, generally making your family, friends and guests more appreciative of the extra time, especially if they are traveling. Save the Date  Planning for a Friday or a Sunday wedding makes it much more likely that you will be able to reserve the church, hall, music and other services on the date of your choice. Choosing a Friday or Sunday date allows you to avoid making several calls to numerous vendors, only to hear, “sorry we are booked on that date.” Rehearsal is Easy  Restaurants are usually thrilled to have rehearsal dinners booked on Thursdays or other evenings during the week, since those are typically their slower business days. You will find a more relaxed atmosphere and the staff will be more attentive to your party’s needs.  In selecting a Friday or Sunday date for your event, you will help both your budget and your odds of getting exactly the wedding you want, while also allowing for more time dedicated to finalizing last minute details. You can use the extra day to catch your breath, and use the extra money to purchase something special.Happy planning! ...read more

You do not have to spend much to make the evening special. Create a beautiful ambiance with these simple, money-saving ideas. 1.   EXPRESSS YOURSELF    Buy large, inexpensive bouquet at your grocery store or your local produce junction, and separate it in smaller arrangements. (I prefer buying flowers at a local produce junction because of a larger variety and better prices.) Clump votive candles together around the room to create a sparkling ambiance. In addition to that, add luminaries along your driveway leading to your house, to get the ambiance flowing, which will get your guests in the mood and looking forward to what is on the inside.2.   THINK POTLUCK  Share the work and the expensive by creating a menu and asking guests to bring one simple dish from it. You can use acronyms to make your event exciting – i.e. BYOB – bring your own beer, BYOD – bring your own dessert or BACD – bring a covered dish; just be creative.    3.  SNACK SMART Keep the party going with another deliciously easy and affordable snack: Tiki Snack Mix, Oat-and –Cheddar Crackers, Spice Crispies, just to name a few; you can make your own snacks around to your event. 4.  GET WELL PAIRED Choose wine that brings out the flavor in your hors’d’oeuvres, as well as a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage, i.e. water served with slice cucumber in it. Conversely, some hosts choose not to serve alcohol because of religious reason, time of day, or nature of event. For instance, I have assisted with coordinating of a non-alcoholic, breakfast food, theme Mardi Gras party where it starts at 7:30 am and ends promptly at 9:30 am. This idea came about because of the client no longer wane to absorb the high cost of producing the event and really did not want to continue to expose themselves to the liability of guests who might drink and drive. However, if you do serve wine, please remember to enjoy responsibly.5.  FEATURE YOUR FINEST Break out your best serving ware; even if it is just an evening in with the girls, (it is an easy way to make guests feel special) 6.  SAY GOODNIGHT IN STYLE Thank your guests at the end of the evening by sending them away with fresh hot fresh-brewed tea or coffee (decaf/caffeinated). Write a thank you note telling them how much fun it was to see them on their to-go-cup. Happy planning! ...read more
