If it has always been a dream of yours to wear a beautiful hair piece or head band on your wedding day and you don’t want to spends hundreds of dollars on one at a boutique, consider borrowing an antique brooch or hair piece from your grandmother.

Shortly after getting engaged, you and your fiance should start thinking about your wedding registry. The registry should be a mix of items that you have wanted for awhile – such as that 60″ flat screen TV – and items that are necessary – such as home essentials, like pots and pans.

Although we love wedding cake (or any type of sweet for that matter!), not everyone has such a sweet tooth. Our couple, Laura and Nate, understood this and supplied a variety of dessert options at their reception. From macaroons to cupcakes, there was something for everyone!

A color scheme is a crucial design element for any wedding! Color schemes can create a seamless wedding theme that carries through from your save-the-date to the take home goodies. We participated in the Chicago Bridal Expo last year and chose silver, white and yellow for our tablescape but we kicked it up a notch by including the peacock feathers.

Wedding processionals can be tricky. Who walks with who? On what side? Where do they stand or sit? These are all things you want to think about before the rehearsal, so that there is a clear order for your bridal party to follow.

Using vases and candles of varying heights can add visual interest to your tables and save money. One large floral arrangement for each table can become cost prohibitive but utilizing smaller, staggered vases can create the same kind of impact without impacting your wallet!

Lighting is an important piece of any event. Not only can it create a glowing, warm space, it can really enhance the theme of your wedding. For Brides, Bubbles and Bliss, held at the Bridgeport Arts Center, Automated Lighting Design transformed a raw space into a radiant runway show by utilizing pink up lighting and patterned lights.
