Capture the Fun :: Photo Booth

Comment1 Comment
A few months back, I posted some ideas for party photo booths. Added to the list is a new shutterbug company on the block, from local photographers Jill and Michael McNamara. The Self Portrait Station will come and set up for your next event, and let guests snap photos of themselves with a remote-controlled shutter.

The Self Portrait Station can also create custom backdrops to color-coordinate your event, and make DVDs of all of the images your guests created. Photo booths like these are always a big hit at events, and partygoers receive an archival-quality print to take home. Add a chair to jump off of, and voila! Action-filled photos that will keep your guests entertained all night.

Revamping the Heat

CommentPost a Comment

Outdoor space heaters are a necessary evil. You want to keep guests warm, but the giant metal suckers are an eyesore. What's that in the back of every damn photo, ruining the shot? The stainless monstrosity of heat. Save your photographer from Photoshopping them out by using the Kindle Glow. 

These gorgeous heaters are made from composite material, come in shades from black to blue, and some models light up independent of the heat source. Ask your planner about renting the Kindle Glow, or buy one for your patio. Keeping warm just became stylish.

The Reception: Go Simple…Host a Happy Hour!

CommentPost a Comment

Guest Blogger :: Erika Cardenas 

Ever loathe going to wedding because you know the cash bar will be outrageous?  $8 for a bottle of beer or $12-15 for a martini? No thanks!

Maintaining a budget-friendly reception that included alcohol seemed challenging. We found that we could save a bit of money to use on other dream wedding options by hosting a cash bar with a catch: Happy hour prices!   This happy hour a la Shannon and Erika infuses our carefree lifestyles and delivers a variety of yummy concoctions to choose from.

Wedding Reception Happy Hour Ideas:

  • Beer & the Basics – Select two domestics and two imports with four popular happy hour drinks like rum or Jack with coke, vodka with tonic or soda, and other basic mixers.
  • Beer & Wine – Select the same beer as above, but add in a red, white, and a sparkling wine that will satisfy any palate.

 

Whatever your poison, this is yet another opportunity to show off your personalities and passions.

Until next time, live well, love well, be well! ~E~

“Chic-Up” Your Wedding Toast With a Signature Shot

CommentPost a Comment

Guest Blogger :: Shannon Williams 

Just because you want a classy wedding doesn’t mean you have to provide an ordinary Champagne toast.  My fiancée and I both felt the traditional toast was too tame for our fiery personalities. Our FabUlist Wedding Planner, Cicely Rocha-Miller suggested a “signature shot” that reflects our wedding theme and us. Our signature shot is still in creation but will compliment our evening wedding theme and colors; a sunset streaked with deep pinks and oranges embellished with a colored sugared rim and a slice of fresh tropical fruit. 

Check out one of my ideas -- a warm-colored shot with a sugar rim...doesn't it look so yummy!?

Have fun with this and chic-up your next toast with a signature shot!

Fall DIY

Comment1 Comment

Guest Blogger:: Gina

I spotted these easy rustic centerpieces on oncewed.com, and fell in love with their simple beauty. As a wedding floral designer, I probably shouldn't be taking centerpiece work away from myself; but these are too pretty to pass up.

Made from cuttings from a fallen tree in the bride's yard, with candles, twine and wooden flowers. Simply gorgeous!
