Read MoreThe Bond Girl Bachelorette aesthetic is all about encapsulating the trademark Bond Girl characteristics. When you think of a bond girl, you typically think beautiful, sexy, sophisticated, put together, and definitely not someone who would have a penis straw around their neck and a fur cowboy hat on (as fun as those bachelorette props can be!). The reason this aesthetic works is because it is still really themed and fun, without being overtly “wedding” or “bachelorette” themed. The bachelorette party aspect is subtle and not as in your face as it normally is. This aesthetic is all about keeping it simple yet sophisticated! With fun themes like Bikinis and martinis, it lets you and your bridal party dress to a theme, without looking like a gaggle of drunk bridesmaids.

Read MoreAs someone who grew up in the age of technology, I am truly wondering how weddings were planned prior to computers? We are so lucky to live in the age of the internet and have access to things like wedding websites. Not only are they free, but they are one of the most effective and easiest ways to manage, and in turn, increase guest experience. The more information you can give your guests beforehand, the more they will know what to expect. Which will also save you from being bombarded with questions from family and friends throughout the planning process! Proactively answering your guests' questions is absolutely key to a positive guest experience!

Read MoreWhen wanting to stay with a classic aesthetic, it is important to stick to mainly neutrals, and use color sparingly. Keep the larger components white or gold, and use the smaller accents to add color. White hydrangea and rose arrangements are synonymous with the ballroom aesthetic, however in this design, we chose to add in greenery to the flower arrangements since the venue itself was already very white. If your ballroom has a lot of color in the carpets or decor (as most classic ballrooms do), you can forego the greenery for more of an all white arrangement. Larger elements of the wedding were kept fairly simple, while we chose to go more untraditional with the smaller details like cocktail napkins, escort cards, monogram design, etc. Going out of the box on the smaller details will add personality in to your wedding while keeping that overall elegant aesthetic you desire.
Read MoreThere is a reason they call it “golden hour!” If I can, I always try to build the wedding day schedule around when the sun sets. The best time during a wedding for the bride and groom to take sunset photos is either cocktail hour or while guests are eating dinner! If you can manage to build your sunset into your wedding day, you will get photos that look like this!
