Small wedding details not to forget!

When you are planning a wedding, you can be so focused on the big things like a dynamite venue, a perfect photographer, a scrumptious menu, and the gown of your dreams, that sometimes the very little details are last on your mind.  At Spencer Special Events, the details are our favorite part!  Here are four small details that shouldn't be overlooked.

1.  A pretty dress hanger!  You spend thousands of dollars on a dream wedding gown and you want your photographer to capture that gorgeous beauty hanging before you put it on.  For this reason, don't overlook the importance of a pretty hanger!  There are a variety of options from "Bride", your new last name, and "Mrs." -- just be sure you don't have an ugly wire hanger or get stuck grabbing one from the hotel closet.

2.  Making it kid-friendly (if children are invited!)  If you are having kids attend the wedding, make sure you have a game plan for those precious kiddos.   At Spencer Special Events, we like to have something for the kids during the ceremony like crayons and coloring books.  At the reception during speeches, skip a flower in their napkin and add a lollipop that coordinates with your design.  You're sure to be a hit!  If you are having a kid-friendly wedding, don't forget to make it kid-friendly!

3. A special cake knife or toasting flutes.  Often times these are passed down from generation to generation, or received as a wedding gift.   Give them to us before the big day and we will make sure they are waiting for you at your cake table. 

4. A way to remember family members that can't be with you!  Old family photos in elegant frames around the cocktail hour or reception can be a sentimental way to have your grandparents or loved ones with you on your big day.

Fall Bridal Fashion Preview

We’re back with more aisle style for The Spencer Special Events bride, our fans and followers!  Bridal gown fashion is just like all other areas of fashion, there are trends and styles that go in and out of season. So what is hot for Fall 2013 in bridal gowns?

We consulted with our absolute favorite bridal boutique Bleu Belle Bridal in Savannah, Georgia.   We met the owner, Heather, years ago and fell immediately in love with her darling personality and impeccable style.   Heather and her amazing team of bridal consultants have been helping bride’s select couture gowns for ten years and serve brides across Savannah, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, The Low Country and all over the country on bride’s visits down south!

Being on the cusp of bridal gown fashion trends, we asked Heather what she is seeing for Fall 2013.    She’s seeing three trends: 

• Low backs 
• High, sheer necklines 
• Interesting lace

Heather showed us this Annasul  Y. layered lace and tulle capsleeve gown with keyhole back and soft draped skirt.   The soft draped skirt is simply perfection! 

This Theia Lace Illusion neckline mermaid with ruffled organza skirt caught Heather’s eye for Fall 2013.  The lace really is interesting and beautiful! 

Heather also showed us this Mikaella strapless embroidered alencon lace gown with soft, flowing organza skirt.  We adore this look!

Heather kept the ideas coming with this gorgeous Mikaella V-neck Chantilly Lace gown with dramatic V back and satin sash.  The back is to die for and there’s that interesting lace again!

And one more capturing the trend is this Snow by Annasul sweetheart strapless gown with layered guipure lace and soft tulle skirt.   How fabulous is this dress?

Because there are SO many styles to choose from and so many different trends, we asked Heather how do you know when you’ve found the right gown? 

"Finding the right gown is like finding the right man,” said Heather.  “You just know when you've found the one!”  

"Many brides expect to cry when they find the one, but we actually see more of our brides dancing and grinning ear to ear when they find the perfect gown for them.  It's all about finding a style that makes you feel as gorgeous as you've ever felt before but also represents your style and personality."

Heather encourages brides to make an appointment early on in your engagement and try on as many dresses as possible – even styles that you don’t think will fit or are your style.  Knowing what you don’t like is just as important as what you do! 

More information on these gorgeous gowns are available upon request, please contact Bleu Belle Bridal to schedule an appointment with their darling team or get more information.   They have the most amazing customer service and the experience is truly everything a bride has dreamed it would be.  (We know from experience!)  At Spencer Special Events, we cannot wait to see our bride’s in their gown on wedding day!!   Seeing girls that we have built such close relationships with; shine on their wedding day is what our business at Spencer Special Events is all about.   For more information on SSE and how we can help you on your big day, contact us!
