{The beginning of wedding season}

And we are off! The 2014 season has begun.  Our first wedding of the season was for Calli & Chris who are headed on their Italian honeymoon today! Yesterday was a whirlwind of gold, candles and spring flowers at the Colonnade Hotel and some serious dancing!! Although it is still a bit cold up here in New England, we were so excited that the sun came out for  C&C and kicked off just an awesome day.

Featured here are the fabulous shots of their engagement shoot (and their adorable dog Kirby) take by Doug Levy of Douglas Levy Photography! We cannot wait to share the images from yesterday's wedding.

{wedding tech: wedding party app}

 

Does anyone remember when you used to place disposable camera on every table at your wedding? At the time, it was a really great idea, but then everyone started bringing digital cameras to weddings and the disposable cameras became obsolete. Many couples (myself included) set up website where guests could upload their photos.

Today most people only carry a smart phone so it is logical that the next big thing in guest photo sharing is an app: a wedding party app to be exact. Super easy to use and such a great way to capture all the random memories. One of our coordination clients from last summer used the app to collect her guest's photos and some of the images are priceless! Definitely check it out!!

{Esq.Events in Style Me Pretty}

Wedding Vendors tend to only come up for air during the off season and we missed the fact that one of our favorite weddings was featured in Style Me Pretty over the summer. I know!! How did we miss this?

This wedding was held at the Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont with a guest list of only 25 people and shot by one of my favorite photographers, Joyelle West. The small guest list allowed the bride and groom to really focus on the details to make this garden wedding come to life. Beautiful flowers including the flower arch were made by our friend Apryl at Petalena. Lanterns were hung above the tables in a grove of trees creating an intimate dining atmosphere! All the paper accents used a beautifully designed illustration of the Garden Gate at Habitat drawn by the mother of the bride.

Having dinner under the trees was very important to our clients: so much so that they ignored our advice to have a tent! Thankfully, the weather was amazing and no tent was needed.

You can see even more photos on Joyelle's blog! We loved this wedding because it really shows that small weddings can be meaningful and stunningly beautiful!

{wedding tech: postable}

Sometimes when I start researching things I realize that I may live under a rock and clearly I was under a rock when everyone else was discovering Postable. Previously, Postable was a very clever way to collect and store addresses. Collecting addresses is one of the most time consuming process for our brides and grooms and Postable makes it easy! They give you a link (postable.com/YourName), you email out the link, people click it and add their info directly into your address book for you. The address book is totally private, secure and 100% free. And if you already have people’s addresses, import them or enter them as you go. Hello? Genius!

Now in addition to the free address book, Postable is offering Custom Thank You Cards. You write individual messages to your guests and Postable prints your cards on super-luxe, 100% recycled paper, stuffs them in envelopes with a first class stamp and mails them all for around 2 dollars a card! 

This is a great way to organize all your invitations and thank you notes and then can be used for Holiday cards and other events during your first few years of marriage!

{wedding coordinator resolutions: hops, beer and breweries}

I'm not really one for resolutions this time of year but we are always looking for new and different opportunities related to Weddings. So this year we are going to throw a few resolutions or bucket list items into the universe and see what comes back.

First up: Planning a Wedding at a Brewery.

There are so many fabulous microbreweries in boston and many of them are establishing larger brewing operations that are available for events! We have always loved the idea of serving craft beer at weddings and also the use of hops in floral design but a brewery space could be really fun for the right couple. So if you are thinking outside the box for one of your wedding events then give us a call!

This Hops Bouquet is by A Day in Provence Floral Studio

What's your favorite microbrewery?

This weekend we are checking out Trillium Brewery in Fort Point, Night Shift Brewing in Everett and the new and improved Beer Hall at Harpoon.
