Holiday Glam by eventfantasies

A holiday wedding does not have to include red and greens. Go outside of the box and expand on the winter wonderland concept with soft hues of pinks, creams, and whites. We even sneak some chocolates to add a touch of warmth.

Adding personal touches!!

One of the easiest and most effective ways of adding style into your next event is with guest amenities. Amenities are items that the guest "take away" with them reminding them of your company, celebration, or cause. This is also the chance to be creative in your choices. One of my favorite is the candy buffet. Not only is it a reminder of your event, it's practical and not to be just thrown away. Incorporate your personal or company brand with the use of napkins, boxes, bags, and candy.


If you would like a buffet but need help carrying it out, contact us for candy, vases, or packaging.

Trend Alert: Classic with a twist

I love mixing the classic and timeless black and white with other colors. For brides who love black and white, but feel the need for more -- pops of yellow and red will add depth and character. I am so excited about posting the final product after the wedding. Be patient - it's July 2010.

Why an ABC wedding coordinator?

Anyone can call themselves a wedding coordinator. However, it takes a professional, dedicated individual to maintain ABC membership. The Association of Bridal Consultations has been serving the wedding industry since 1955. Members agree to "uphold the ABC Code of Ethics and Standards of Membership". In order to maintain membership, members must fulfill certain hours of education and training each year. ABC members also have access to discounts from many wedding vendors that are not available to the general public or non-member. These savings are often times passed on to the couple, saving them money!! An ABC coordinator is a valuable resource and designation should serve as a sign of relief for the couple.
