Yellow makes the world a better place!

Guess what color has been a huge trend for 2009 & has made its way into many ceremony and receptions for 2010?
YELLOW!

I just love the fun, unique ways you can incorporate yellow as either your main color or just an accent to your wedding. Yellow has been a popular wedding color throughout the year and will continue to be favored during 2010. It's great because it can take your beach or outdoors wedding to another level with the bright, vibrant color or can bring warmth to your indoor reception decor.

Here are some great ways to jazz up your wedding decor with using this fantastic color!

Maddie's Challenge

We would love for everyone that reads our blog to help participate in this!!

"Maddie's Challenge"
has been circulating on Facebook for the past few weeks and has reached thousands and thousands of people.

Maddie Poynter is an almost 3 year old, beautiful little girl who has been battling cancer since her diagnosis on June 20, 2009. She is scheduled to have surgery to remove "The Beast" this Thursday October 8th in Boston, MA at Boston Children's Hospital. A challenge has been presented all across the country to have as many people wear pink, Maddie's favorite color, in honor of Maddie, on Thursday, October 8th. Please have as many people that you know wear pink that day and take a photo. Once you have taken your photo please post a picture of you in your prettest pink outfit on "Maddies Challenge" Event page on Facebook. This will show Maddie and her family just how many people have been affected by Maddie's story and also to show how much support they have across the miles!!

Also, if anyone is interested in donating to Maddie and her family to help cover their medical bill expenses, you are able to do so through their paypal acctoung: kpoynter@twcny.rr.com. Little donations add up quickly!!

Fall Inspired Linens

Creating a beautiful reception for your guests begins at your table linens. Beautiful table linens are essential to your wedding and create the masterpiece that will leave your guests and you remembering your wedding forever.

Fall is the perfect time of year to really create drama to your tablescapes by adding linens in deep hues of browns, reds, tans, and oranges. Below are some of my favorite fall linens that I hope will inspire you.

Fall Inspirations

This weeks blogs are going to all be about the fall season that is quickly approaching! We are so excited about the change in the weather, colors and beautiful flowers that bloom this time of year.

The colors of autumn/fall are universally bright, bold, and rich. Amber, gold, burnt orange, rust, mustard yellow, sage green, chocolate brown, copper and burgundy are some of the more popular hues but couples interested in using a fall theme at their weddings are not limited to just these bright shades. Adding white or creamy accents can lighten fall colors and add a sense of warmth and a wedding feel to the theme.

Stay posted this week for all of our wonderful fall themed blogs!

Welcome Stacy and Jeremiah

Jen and I are so happy to welcome Stacy, Jeremiah, and their families to our celebrate! family. The wedding is being planned for March 20, 2010 at the beautiful Ponte Vedra Club and Inn. So far, Stacy has found the perfect wedding dress and knows she wants her wedding to be simply elegant dressed in hues of whites and greens. We are so excited to help her make all her wedding dreams come true.

THE INSIDE SCOOP on this AMAZING COUPLE

The Engagement (in Jeremiah's words):

July 11th, 2009 marked the big day. Stacy was picked up in a chauffeured car and driven out to the beach. There I had setup a table on the beach surrounded by tiki torches right at the time of sunset. We enjoyed a dinner of grilled chicken salad, breadsticks, and fresh fruit followed by homemade cookies :) Josh Lee provided romantic acoustical background music! After dinner came the question, and fortunately without hesitation, a YES!

Wedding Gifts: Welcome Baskets
