It’s the hottest thing right now….a choreographed first dance (and if it is a surprise….all the better)! In fact, I recently have picked up new clients that are planning this for their wedding. I can’t say who they are; because then it wouldn’t be a surprise.

Just check out this adorable couple:

If you go this route, very cool…just leave plenty of time for practicing and of course, the choreography part. I’m up for teaching anyone (dance team/cheerleader all through high school and college)!Plan on! -saundra

A few different looks from the wedding gallery at the special event show. Let’s dive right in….

There was another tree; just as spectacular …. but all together different. More of a beach theme this tree took HOURS to assemble. Real flowers…of course. You can click on flickr to see more of these photos but at the bottom there are shells glued together. There is even one huge shell that is holding water with orchids floating in it. How cool is that?

I really loved this design. They made the hanging centerpiece low and then raised it. You have to look closely at the amount of detail. The coolest thing about this modern table setting was the smart lighting that would change colors throughout the night. Just check out the video. (sorry minor technical difficulties I couldn’t post it here).

You all know I’ve been in Atlanta (well technically back for 11 days…) to see The Special Event Show. It has been chaos since returning to the office. While I still have so much to do (as business has been great), I took a breathier today to get my pictures up! I’ll randomly pull some shots as we move forward to discuss in detail.

Sally and I were able to actually setup for the Show. We assisted Wilbur & Associates - EventScapes who were contracted to do the “Dahling - Southern display” at the Wedding Gallery. They are a wonderful group…full of creativity and just enough crazy as most artists can be!

For the first time this year, the gallery was sold as a separate event to view. The attendees who went to the Wedding Luncheon also were able to view the gallery. We got into both to share with you the pictures.

There were four different areas at the Wedding Gallery; and you can see how each one has a really different look. Again this is an event for designers to go OVER THE TOP and blow you away as you look at their designs. Logistics, practicality, and price is all thrown out the window. For just a moment; it’s imagination time!

This was Wilbur’s design….the white part has ice crystals that when you add water to them create this shimmery, textured look. They are gross to touch…kinda like slime…but look AWESOME! And who can beat the flower pathway to the chuppah? Gorgeous.

This was the tree they created with silver and bling. I wanted to steal it. But wasn’t sure how to strap it to the top of our car. Notice…these pictures are during setup. The tulle for the skirting completed this a romantic, southern look.

Sumptuous and romantic. Sally made this entire display so I knew I’d have to post/talk about it. The glass holder, callas and flowers is simply unbelievable to see. If you could only smell how great it was in the room…..

There were four custom columns that Wilbur’s team made with bling dripping down from the top. These columns were positioned in the four corners encasing the overall look.

We adored Jill Winter and Aaron Piening. A day-of coordination we were impressed with the decorations and level of commitment from their families. Of course, Jill is uber organized…..she handed me a list of things to remember on the wedding day. What she didn’t know was that it already matched my list that I made for myself!!!

Located in the quaint, cultural community of New Harmony, Indiana - it was a beautiful wedding which solidified my belief that taking all the pictures BEFORE the wedding really makes for a wonderful, relaxed and intimate reception.

Definitely our most unique wedding. Cynthia Madden and John Gannon were not going to stand for anything typical. Another full planning service wedding, we produced a beautiful, quaint and memorable ceremony led to a beat bumping, martini luge flowing, heart stopping nightclub reception.

We had it at the Casino Aztar in Evansville, Indiana; and truth be told when we showed up with the vans…the employees and Director thought we were nuts. But we had a vision. All white - Miami style - with lighting that would change the room to four different colors throughout the evening. Lounges and couches and mini bars lined the cross style dance floor.

Most memorable moment: when the couple entered through the custom draped tourets to: :Shake That” by Eminem (clean version). It’s the groom’s favorite song!

One of my most memorable weddings of 2007. They hired us for the full-service package from start to finish; and on the day of the wedding we managed over 15 vendors. With a band AND a DJ, the entertainment was unbelievable. Dana (mom), Brittany and I had so much fun planning this wedding for 350 guests in 6 months.

I have pictures of Mr. Burris who was pleased to give his little girl the wedding of her dreams. Both families were unbelievable to work with and the pictures you are seeing were taken from the phenomenal Courtney Metzger with Daniel Knight Studio B. The event comes back to life through the pictures!
