Bride Blogger Nicole: The Chair Covers

>> Thursday, September 2, 2010

One of the things I really wanted but wasn't sure we would be able to afford was chair covers. I have always thought chair covers are elegant and really make a difference in making the venue even more polished. Look at this picture of a wedding in the Jasmine Room at the Grand Manse and how the chair covers tie everything together!

 
I called around to some of the rental places in town, and the average price for a chair cover without a sash was $4. To add a sash was $1.50 more, and then there were also added costs if you wanted the company to set up and take down the chair covers. The prices were what I was expecting, and like I had thought, there really wasn't a way to work that into our budget.

A couple of days later I got a postcard in the mail from a company called Weddings Across America, and it said they specialized in the $4 chair cover, which also included sash, set up, and take down. I was thrilled - I knew this was definitely the way to get my covers!

I called them and they said they were running a special, so I could actually get everything for $2.50 a chair -even better! Also, they came right to our house to show us the different options they offer. They brought all of their covers and sashes so we could see the different fabrics and colors. They showed me all the different ways the sash can be tied, and also what the Universal Chair cover looks like (where there is no sash and the actual chair cover gets tied).
It was so convenient and helpful to our busy schedule that they could come to our home and show us what they have to offer! I honestly didn't think chair covers would be something I would be able to have at my wedding, but I'm so glad that Weddings Across America is making it possible for me!

Bride Blogger Bailey: Music & Lighting!

>> Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Back to Nebraska! This past weekend I was able to FINALLY make it back to Nebraska. I hadn't been back since November and I needed to get back to get final details done with the wedding plans.

We were able to meet with our wedding coordinator at the Lied Lodge to go over both wedding and reception details. We also did a food tasting. I had never done this before and it was pretty fun. Lots of great food! We decided on lemon herb chicken and pork loin for our main dish! :)

We also met with our DJ, Jeff from Prime Time Music and Entertainment. We are very excited to be working with him! He has really emphasized how much he wants to make the wedding music about us and our families. He even wanted us to talk to our parents about what music they played at their weddings or what was "their song" back in the day. I thought this was a great way to make everyone feel important and to make it all very personal.

Then we met with Marlene with Country Elegance. Its a family business and they do all kinds of wedding decorations! I contacted her to hang lights in the barn for our wedding. I knew exactly what I wanted so it was just a matter of finding someone who could do it. I wanted round bulbs, not the twinkle lights! I sent her a few pictures, we went to the barn, and they got the job. They had great ideas on what to do and what not to do and I look forward to working with them. I know this will be one detail that will make a world of difference. These are a few of the pictures I sent her for what I wanted with the lights!

Favor Display Ideas

>> Thursday, December 10, 2009

Here are some great, creative ideas for displaying your favors, taken from Martha Stewart Weddings:

Pin treat-filled cellophane bags (custom-made with your initials and wedding date) to a linen-covered cork board.

Candies shaped like rocks and placed in a small pail would be perfect for an outdoor wedding. Just make sure you put up a banner or sign to let your guests know the rocks are edible!

Combine favors and place cards in one for convenience and creativity.

Fill cones (outfitted with your initials) with candies or mints and place them in trays.

Decorate jars of honey with pretty personalized labels and fabric that matches the design theme of your wedding. Wrap with twine to secure the fabric.

Okay, so dove releases and butterfly releases are gorgeous, amazing displays. But if you're looking for something a little more low-key, what about a balloon release? Balloons bring out the happy kid in all of us. This couple, photographed by Douglas Gunder, chose to do a balloon release, and the result is a joyful, child-like atmosphere.
