Rebecca & Jorge Winter Wonderland Wedding!

This local Florida couple tied the knot in this beautiful, what we like to call winter wonderland wedding!  Starting out the ceremony in a beautiful church with winter inspired flowers throughout. The wedding party starts the march in winter wonderland attire. Then the moment comes with a cathedral length veil, tiara, and stunning off the shoulder ball gown dress!  The look on is face when he saw his bride brought tears to everyone's eyes, you know this is true love!   Then headed for a christmas inspired cocktail hour overlooking the beautiful longboat key beach. Guest were asked to sign ornaments to put on the super creative "sign in christmas tree"! Then off to reception where guest found milsaltow at their place setting, beautiful centerpieces and special touches throughout the ballroom! As the bride and groom were introduced they were ment with a dry ice cloud to dance on for their first dance and fireworks shot up from the DJ booth everytime they kissed! It was truly a magical night!   Thank you to all the vendors that made it happen- Church: St. Peter & Paul Church | Venue: Zota Beach Resort | Photographer & Videographer: Chi Photography | Dj: TLS Entertainment | Transportation: Imperial One Limo | Florist: Oneco Florist| Hair & Makeup: Destiny & Light | Rentals: Linens by the Sea & So Staged Events

Spring Wedding Trends 2021!

Without question, the wedding trends for 2021 are going to be influenced by the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020. Weddings are now adopting a ‘go big or go home’ mentality for postponed weddings, this period of time we’ve been stuck in our homes – not able to hug our loved ones – will have a profound effect on how we choose to celebrate. You’ll see on this list both a trend for intimate micro weddings and maxi-weddings where everything from your outfits to your music is oversized and extravagant. That’s because we’ll see two clear paths emerging out of 2020: those who feel the need to scale back and focus on a tight-knit group of nearest and dearest, and those whose passion to celebrate with everyone they care for means a BIG guest list. Expect 2021 to be a bumper year for weddings, thanks to postponed dates from this year. And with each of those couples putting their own personality and flavour on their day, we predict a really surge in creative and unique weddings.   Acts of Gratitude- as a whole, weddings will have an even deeper meaning; an extra layer to the day where there is a moment to stop and reflect on the events of the past 12 months and be grateful for good health and safety, to honour the opportunity of being finally able to celebrate with loved ones. Though time-consuming, a personal note on each guest place setting is a hugely meaningful gesture. Choose special guests, such as grandparents or close friends, to take home one of the flower arrangements at the end of the night. Smaller things include baking special ‘thank you’ treats for each guest, or hiring one or two babysitters [...]

Shabby Chic Fall Family Photo shoot

Swanky Soiree had the pleasure of working with the wonderful Alisa Sue Photography today for her Fall Mini's.  The shabby chic set up turned out so beautiful. We love doing set design for photographers like Alisa. She is always a pleasure to work with and has a great sense of style, trends and what her clients are looking for. Alisa gave us a idea of what she wanted and I knew exactly where she was going. We created a vision board of our ideas for  her clients, then raided some local salvage yards and our Swanky Soiree prop room. So what is shabby chic and how do you create the look. Shabby chic (pronounced: "sheek") is a form of interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear or where new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique. At the same time, a soft, opulent, yet cottage-style decor, often with an affected feel is emphasized to differentiate it from genuine period decor. Doors- these were plain brown doors that I painted with numerous layers of  different color paint. Then sanded with steel wool. Lace Shutters- These where vintage windows from a old building. We blew out the glass and replaced with a  soft lace. It is a great contrast to the hard dark doors. Chandelier-Choose a Rococo style light fixture. Their style was ornate and used light colours, asymmetrical designs, curves, and gold. I really wanted to lighten it so I used a white light. It popped off of the door perfectly.  Chaise Lounge- We used this cottage style chaise lounge. In addition to a Rococo style you can use Cottage chic Beach cottage chic French country Gustavian (Swedish) Side Table- this is a [...]
