Wedding Wednesday: The Collins Wedding

It feels like it was forever ago and yet only just yesterday that I was running around trying to finish up details for the Collins wedding that was in August. This wedding is my first official Cinta Events wedding, and only 1 out of a handful that i have done ever. Thankfully i was working with a pretty amazing bride and groom who seriously made the whole process so much fun and really allowed me the freedom to be creative. I had so much fun with all the crafting and  working on all the little details that to me really make a wedding. Now that a couple months have gone by, and we now have the pictures back from the talented Katy Weaver I can finally really see what was done. That day was so hectic and i learned some oh so valuable lessons in what i would do again and what i would not do again. Thats what I love about event planning. You never know it all. Its a constant evolution regardless of how long you have been in the business.

I am so excited to be able to share with you some of my favorite prictures from the wedding! I will soon be posting an album on the facebook page with a few more. Thanks again to my amazing couple, Leah and Andrew. It was such an honor to be apart of your big day! And a big thank you to Katy Wever Photography! The pictures are amazing! 

hope you enjoyed them! 

Have a simply wonderful wedding wednesday! 

i wish i was just busy

busy doesn't even begin to explain what life has been the last few weeks. hence my silence in the blog world. as i have mentioned before this last month as been JAM PACKED with different dinners and events, and weddings, and on top of that a full time job, oh and not to mention a whole lot of life events just happening to be going on at the moment to. haha. sometimes i think i might be crazy. then i look at my now 3 page to do list and it confirms that i am indeed crazy. but honestly, even though i am feeling the pressure of the wedding im doing next weekend i have never felt more at home. things are coming together, and even if my to do list is never ending things are slowly but surly getting done. And I am SO thankful for everyone who has been stepping in and helping out. They may seem like little things but you have no idea how helpful they are. I thankfully have had a couple good nights of sleep and today i am feeling refreshed, renewed and ready to make this final push. at the end of the day i oh so realize just how blessed I am to be able to do what I love. and i am proud of that. 

i will leave you with some instagram shots of what has been going on the last couple weeks!

its all in the details...

The difference between a good wedding and a great weekend is all in the details. It's those little details that can also drive you a little crazy. But if you plan in advance these little details are so worth the extra effort. I've been noticing some little details in the wedding world that are super cute lately. Some are old and some are new, but regardless they are great ideas.

I'm starting with my favorite idea! I LOVE these bridesmaid boxes. Such a great idea! This one includes a little day of schedule, an "ouch" kit, complete with mini sewing kit, lip balm, polish, tissues, hairpins and other cute essentials for wedding day. I will most definitely be doing these for my wedding...someday....

Anyone can do a menu but sometimes the presentation is what really sets things apart. This was a fun little detail and not much different then listing things traditionally and yet so much cuter!

Typewriters. Seem to be all the rage at the moment. And always with a cute little note as if it had just been typed out. There have been great little love notes and this one was geared toward the guests. Love the detail.

How to tie a bow tie. Love this little groomsmen detail. Wouldn't this be cute in a groomsmen box. However, instead of and "ouch" kit a fun personalized flask and some other goodies would probably go over a lot better then lip balm :)

Okay, i just love paper straws right now. Hence my use of them in my last party but how fun are these blue ones!!

Every wedding is bound to have kids running around. And there are some great ideas on how to keep them entertained. But I love this simple favor bag full of gold fish, treats, coloring book, pencils, and other cute things to play with. Can i be a kid?

I love this classic detail. i love having pictures of parents and grandparents weddings. family pictures, or pictures growing up are always a hit and really personalize things. It can also help pay tribute to those who are no longer with us and gives us a way to remember them on such a special day.

I love details. Don't you?

Happy wedding Wednesday! and hope you have a simply fantastic day!
