Thoughtful Details

As I said yesterday, the most wonderful weddings are the most personal ones.... and personal details can be created at any price point.

How to weave these personal elements into your event? Focus on each other and what is meaningful to you. What's your story as a couple? How do you have fun? Convey your personality and your story on every level in sights, sounds, tastes... Remember your guests. What do they mean to you? How can you honor them and ensure that they are active participants in the day? Make them feel welcome, comfortable and invested in your celebration...they will share your joy and have a blast.

My friend Pauline Parry at Good Gracious! Events in L.A. has a great slogan for her catering company. "It's about Food, Fun & Love" If you can create a wedding day filled with thoughtful, fun and loving elements, you will create a magical day and experience that your guests will be raving about for a long time...regardless of whether you're sitting on chiavari chairs or folding chairs.
