Fabulous Florals

Did you know flowers are one of the earliest traditions when it comes to Weddings?

It is first recorded that flowers were used at weddings in Ancient Greece. Plants and Flowers were assorted together to form wreath that would be worn on their heads. Although most people have strayed away from wedding wreaths, flowers are still a big part of Wedding tradition and are used in the majority of the modern-day Wedding. Cheers not only keeps up with this tradition, but actually does our own floral arrangements!  Scroll down to see some of the beautiful floral arrangements that we have done in the past.

Emerald- The Pantone of the 2013

pantone-emerald-2013-1

Much to our surprise, Emerald was chosen as this year’s 2013 Pantone color! (We had money on mint green- close!) As event planners, we are interested to see if Pantone colors trend into weddings! Bold is IN for weddings this year, and Emerald is a perfect color to add to ones wedding palette! It can serve as a featured color, or even as an accent, and can jazz up ones wedding or event immediately with its rich hues. We have found a collection of designs and details sure to impress, and are looking forward to seeing them reflect in future events.

2013 Wedding Trends!

As certified wedding planners, it is our job to make sure we are always up to date on the latest wedding trends! We are very excited about the upcoming trends and themes for 2013 and even predictions for 2014! While 2012 held some fabulous new trends, we are thrilled to see the return of elegant soirees, lounges, fun food ideas, and branding!

Out with Rustic-In with 20’s Glamour!

It is no secret that the “Rustic Wedding” was very popular last year and even into this year! Mason jars, burlap, barns, and DIY were among many popular items, however, 2013-14 has a new look to uphold! This year’s trends are seeming to show a 1920’s formal look and we are very excited!

The Return of Wedding Lounges!

Couples are getting creative this year with their decor, including the return of wedding lounges! What a great way to offer more seating, as well as fun seating for you guests! Instead of being “stuck at a table”, they are free to spend their time in the gorgeous lounge you have created. While the goal is to have people on the dance floor, there are often guests, such as family members, who enjoy taking it easy and a lounge is the perfect addition for them.

Out with Candy Bars- in with Creative Desserts!

We have loved the dessert/candy bars, however, we are also loving the new “sweet” trends to come! From individual cakes, to popcorn bars, to ice cream trucks, creativity is IN. Brides are showing us that the possibilities are endless and are using desserts as a way to showcase their sweet tooth! Yum.

Color, Color, Color!

Brides are using color! Whether or not it is in their shoes, in their bouquet, or in their linens, color is here for 2013! While many are still upholding the traditional white bouquets, many brides are using pops of color to express their theme or style! This is also being applied in their shoes, groom’s socks, and even in wedding decor! Color is a great way to brand you wedding and even showcase your favorite hues.

Food for Thought

Catering has skyrocketed in creativity over the past few years and continues on into the upcoming wedding trends! From mini-food, to food stations, to upscale displays, couples are getting very creative with the presentation of their food! Even late night snacks are coming back into trend! We are loving this because it is a fabulous way to set your wedding apart and show your creativity with food themes and flavors.

Every bride and groom have certain aspects of their wedding that are more important than others!

For some, a delicious piece of cake is key! It is often the only sweet treat offered and can be highlighted by flowers or lighting to make a statement! It can often become the centerpiece of a reception room, and can be the first thing guests see- and eat if they had the choice!

Gotta love a good sweet tooth!

As wedding planners, we know the importance of hiring fabulous bakers! We are so lucky to have so many fabulous talents here in Memphis! Wedding planning here is a delight due to the incredible vendors that are located all over the city, and in the surrounding areas!

Here are a few photos from our past weddings highlighting different cakes and styles!

Enjoy and try to resist !
