Yesterday I stumbled upon fabulous furniture by the Great Hire USA. If you are looking for a change in scenery for your next event, chairs from this furniture rental company is the way to go. Your guest will be sitting down with class; no chair covers, no sashes, just fabulous furniture uncovered. You can see why the Great Hire USA strives to make every event "... stand out in a class of it’s own."  

Lucky for our Floridian clientele this, dedicated to class, company is based in Miami, Florida. We are excited to partner with the Great Hire USA furniture rental company.  Your next event will stand out on it's own with fab furniture; creating Another Cute & Classy Event.

Wednesday Weddings 2.0 | What is Weddings 2.0

Weddings 2.0, what is it you ask?  I did a Google search and did not come up with a concrete answer. So, I figured I would search the next logical subject matter; Web 2.0.  Web 2.0 according to Wikipedia is "a loosely defined intersection of web application features that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design,^[1] and collaboration on the World Wide Web."  Okay, I get it now.  Yeah right, not even!  The key things to understanding Web 2.0 are applications, social media, web based interactions and information sharing.  So now let's define Weddings; months and months of planning, coordinating with family, creating budgets, sending out invitations, gifts, ceremonial witnesses and traditions. Tie the two together; it is utilizing technology to assist in completing a task that pertains to your wedding or wedding plans.

Weddings 2.0, in my opinion, is utilizing technology to assist in completing a task that pertains to your wedding and or wedding plans. 

Many Brides are using Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and FaceTime to help make the planning process of their wedding less stressful. Brides are using FaceTime to hold bridal party meetings, shopping events, and vendor appointments. Having a wedding shower, use Facebook to send your invitations.  Pinterest comes in very handy if you see an idea on the web that you like; you just "PIN IT" to a virtual board. The cutest thing I've seen so far is the changing of the status ceremony, during the wedding ceremony. See the video below. Honestly, I think they did it in a very cute and classy fashion.

For Brides that have a guest list of not so social-media guest, use just web. If you are really tech savvy or you are willing to pay someone, get a wedding website.  Sites like: The Knot, Wedding Paper Diva, and Wedding Wire offer wedding websites.  For my clients that want to display their personality and do not have time, we build and manage their wedding websites. Personally speaking, I think doing a wedding website is the way to go!  A wedding website allows your guest to interact, learn and share ideas with you and your groom. What better way to let your guest know that you care about them, and not just them showing up to your wedding to bare gifts. 

Cute ideas: allow guest to vote on songs for your song list,  tell a story about how you and your husband to be met, or allow those that cannot attend leave warm wishes on a comments page.

Trendy Tuesday | Ceiling Decor

Photo: Our Labor of Love

We've seen from fabric drapings to strings of lights; helium balloons to paper lanterns.  But what about hanging your centerpieces from the ceiling.  This is an exotic trend that will absolutely "WOW" your guest.  Instead of having your vases placed in the middle of the table, hang them where ever you can.  But please hire a professional.  This is no easy task!

This upside down yellow tulip centerpiece was used for a wedding in Atlanta by Bold American Events & Catering. It is an absolutely breath taking idea. This concept is not limited to wedding receptions. You can find similar glass globes on save-on-crafts.com; westelm.com or potterybarn.com. With an idea like this you are bound to have Another Cute & Classy Event.
