A lot of traditions go into a wedding, some we just accept and never question, but when we do…things can get weird!
The boutonnière- a flower worn on the lapel of a groom’s tuxedo – pretty yes, but it was originally placed there so the flower would be close to the nose in case the lovely bride smelled! (not a lot of emphasis on hygiene back in the days!)
Bridesmaids- committing to your friend to wear a random colored dress (that may cost an arm and a leg and never be seen again!) is actually a much easier deal. In older times, the bridesmaids dresses resembled the wedding dress so evil spirits would attack the bridesmaids instead of the bride!
The bride is on the left side of the groom so that his right arm is free to sword fight! Darn those dragons!
Stay tuned more to come…

Colors- be bold!
Event Colors Set Your Tone
Choosing the colors for your event can be a little intimidating. It sets the décor and tone for the entire evening. From flowers to linens and decorations, color plays a big part. Here are a few hints to make the process of picking a color easier.
Decide what time of year your event is to take place. Once you have that, the seasons make for a great guide in choosing colors. In summer and spring, they tend to be lighter. While in fall and winter colors are likely to be darker.
Put into question where the event will be held, either indoors or outdoors. If held indoors consider the interior. What is the color of the carpet and the walls? You don’t want your colors to clash with the interior but to complement. If it is outdoors, recreate colors that already exist in the scenery.
Also, decide what atmosphere you are trying to set. Whether it is a romantic setting go with a soft color pallet or to add a dramatic feel go towards dark colors in the décor.
Color is very important and can be used in many different ways. It is always good to have a few colors to complement each other. Having one color can be a little boring, but having too many can be overwhelming. Using two or three colors is a good medium and will have just the right amount of color needed to make the wedding look amazing.

Accolades
Hi Terri Bishop
THANK YOU so much for all you did for Katy and me to make this wedding so special.
I know we could not have done it without you. Everyone was so impressed
by how everything came together....really not one problem! WOW! We
also feel we have a new friend and enjoyed working with you so much!
Of course, I'll recommend you to anyone asking for a great
coordinator! We hope to see you again soon. Perhaps you'll come party
with us sometime. We'd love it.
Thanks again,
Cindy and Tommy Doud
Katy and Bryan Evans
