Early Christmas

2011-07-22T14:43:00.005-04:00

Christmas in Annapolis is a magical time of year. Homes glow with candlelight accented by lavish wreaths and garlands. Check out these images posted by Intrigue Floral Design of Annapolis featuring a traditional Christmas with an antique feel. The images were shot by renowned photography company Elizabeth Ryan of Baltimore. This team dressed the Gov. Calvert House for an early Christmas.

We are loving this vintage styled shoot created by Intrigue (www.intrigue-designs.com) and Allison Barnhill (www.allisonbarnhilldesigns.com ) The details are to die for.

Photography: www.elizabethryanphotography.com

This look is fitting for a bride in search of a vintage Annapolis wedding or even a chic DC affair. This image of the bride in her flapper styled gown resting on the vintage sofa with the brooch bouquet is my favorite from the shoot. Visit www.facebook.com/IntrigueDesigns to view more images.

2011-01-02T18:02:00.013-05:00

The sun was shining and the air was warm for this fabulous Fall wedding on October 10, 2010. Jessica and Michael, both recent graduates of the University of Maryland, College Park, started their lives together on the very campus they used to walk. They united their love in a beautiful ceremony at the Memorial Chapel. The celebration continued at the Alumni Center with a lavish reception, led by the amazingly talented 14-piece band, The Bill Dayton Big Band. The pink and black with crystals theme gave a posh and vibrant feel to a young and joyous atmosphere. Congratulations to Jessica and Michael. We wish you the best. Go Terps!

Margot and Cliff - One Very Hot Wedding Day

2010-08-03T19:37:00.004-04:00

On July 24th in the sweltering 110 degree heat, Margot and Cliff tied the knot at the Kent Manor Inn in Stevensville, MD. All the guests braved the heat to sit out in the sun for the ceremony. Margot and Cliff turned to look at the guests during the ceremony and saw that they were all melting, so they told the officiant to skip everything and just make it official so they could be pronounced "Mr. & Mrs." Everyone enjoyed a wonderful dinner and danced the night away to the Dan Haas Band. Thank you Margot and Cliff for having us be part of your wedding.

Thank you to all the fabulous vendors who made their wedding day so special.

Kento and Clarice - June 19, 2010

2010-07-19T14:46:00.006-04:00

A Marriage of Two Cultures

Recently at the Woodend Manor in Chevy Chase, MD we coordinated a wedding that included many traditions from Japan and Brazil. Kento and Clarice had a beautiful ceremony and a vibrant reception and each incorporated traditions from both cultures.

During the ceremony, with the help of the Groom's sister they did the Japanese tradition of San-San-Kudo. San-San-Kudo literally means "three, three, nine times". The Bride and Groom took turns taken three sips of each of the three bowls of sake. Three is an indivisible number and nine means triple happiness. By exchanging the nuptial sake sips - three times three - husband and wife become united.

Another tradition they incorporated was the 1,000 origami cranes. Folding the cranes takes time, patience, and understanding. These same qualities are important for a marriage to last and thrive. This is why the symbol of the 1,000 hand folded cranes that decorated their wedding was such a powerful and meaningful element to their wedding. They used the cranes for the escort cards, mobiles, table accents, and as part of the wedding cake.

At Brazilian weddings, the music, samba dances, colorful dresses and delicious foods are always part of the affair. At the Woodend, we had it all. There was delicious food provided by Marco Polo, colorful bridesmaids dresses, great music and even great entertainment provided by the Samba dancers. This was one wedding the guests will never forget. Congratulations to Kento and Clarice.

Thank you to all the fabulous vendors that made this event come to life.

Jessica and Matt: Annapolis Winter Wedding

2010-01-23T16:34:00.006-05:00

It may have been a very cold Wednesday in December, but Jessica and Matt had a beautiful Annapolis winter wedding. Jessica and Matt met in the ROTC program at American University and have been together for the past 3 years. The original plan was to have a spring wedding, but the Army needed Matt so a winter wedding it was. The original date was January 2nd, but Matt's deployment was move up and the wedding date had to be changed with a month to go before the wedding. Historic Events is thankful to all of the fabulous vendors that worked extremely hard to accomodate the change and made Jessica and Matt's wedding a day they will always remember.

Rainy Day

2009-03-14T17:01:00.004-04:00

As the clouds gather in the sky and the smell of rain looms in the air I think back to those brides who were greeted with dreary weather on their wedding day. I'm not going to say that rain is good luck (FYI - I totally believe this old wives tales) , but, I am going to share this fantastic photo complete with umbrellas. I am consistently inspired by the creativity that comes out of a photographer when the weather is less than desirable.

Why I LOVE Kent Manor Inn

2009-03-07T10:28:00.030-05:00

For the last couple years I have promoted Kent Manor Inn as "the" venue to see. Today I would like to give a little more feedback as to why Kent Manor is such a fabulous venue for your wedding. www.kentmanor.com

- First, let's start by talking about the food. Kent Manor offers a wide variety of menu options. The chef is very creative and can create custom dishes for your wedding such as artistic salad displays or cultural specialties (for an additional fee of course). Yummm... Just thinking about the fabulous filet makes me hungry...

- Second, I have to compliment the Inn for it's constant attention to the grounds and to upgrading the property. In the past year alone I have seen major improvements to Kent Manor.

- Third, the beauty of the Inn, the garden house and the waterfront ceremony site. I can't describe this in enough detail. You have to see it for yourself!

- Fourth, the staff is amazing! I love arriving for an event and being greeted with a smile from Jackie and Marsha. I love that Ashley is always eager to help and is flexible when it comes to decorating. Confidence in the staff is an element to the wedding that gets overlooked when booking a venue, but, it is an important part of the process.

- Finally, I LOVE the lay-out of the Garden House for receptions. This is the only venue I know of with this design. It is ideal for keeping a party moving because the bar is raised with the dance floor. This encourages guests to make their way into the party area. It keeps the guests together so that no one feels like they were "stuck in the back".

I assure you that there are many more reasons I like this site than what I have listed here. If you have not yet visit Kent Manor I urge you to do so by contacting Ashley Clough 410-643-7716 x320 ashley@kentmanor.com

Even in the "off" season this is a great venue. I hope you have enjoyed these super cool shots of Jennifer & Kevin's November 15th reception at Kent Manor Inn as captured by Laura Olson of In His Grace Photography www.inhisgracephotography.com

(I LOVE Laura's editing and use of color... She will be shooting my family this spring. I can't wait to see what she does for me!)

Black is The New Black

2009-03-06T06:21:00.006-05:00

For years I have heard statements such as "brown is the new black" and "pink is the new black". This year BLACK is BLACK. This basic color is finding it's way into weddings across the country. Enjoy this fabulous design board curtesy of flickr.com.

Retro Menu Cards

2009-03-03T12:05:00.005-05:00

Finding a unique way to present your menu for the evening can be lots of fun! I really love how this neat design adds a bit of whimsy to the retro table top!

These neat items can be rented at www.weparty.com and the fun menu cards can be custom designed for your event by www.allisonbarnhilldesigns.com or www.tuvidaonline.com

Cupcake Cake

2009-03-01T22:05:00.005-05:00

Cupcake cakes have been done for years... Today's cupcake cakes give new life to this display. I love how these mini cupcakes are displayed on a custom built stand giving it a real cake look.

New England Grandeur

2009-02-26T10:54:00.006-05:00

While seeking a venue for a New England wedding I began working with the Harding Allen Estate in Massachusetts's. This magnificent venue offers the charm of a southern plantation with the class of a Newport Mansion. Over the past few days I have been working with Grace and have been astounded at how committed she is to not only the history of the venue, but, also to customer service. The attention I have received from Grace has been remarkable. I would highly recommend this site for any bride seeking a New England Destination wedding.

Bollywood Inspired

2009-02-25T07:52:00.007-05:00

We have been having lots of fun this year designing the Bollywood Inspired wedding of Melanie and Sam. This bride came to us with the concept and we went to town finding lots of creative elements to give this wedding a captivating Bollywood look. Although, we have no photos of this wedding to share. I did want to share the link to the site Melanie used to order her invitations. She was quite impressed with the communication, price and quality of this company.

Of course the actual design Melanie & Sam selected is "Top Secret" , but, I am sure you will find lots of fabulous inspiration from this invitations site.

When I am lookign for a bit of design inspiration for an event I often log onto Accent Decor's website www.accentdecor.com to view the fun designs they have in the gallery. This is a great place to look prior to meeting with your florist. This site offers numerous unique vases and containers. All of these items are available through your local florist. Be prepared to shell out some extra cash though, these cool pieces do not come cheap.

Hot NEW Color Combo

2009-02-08T09:54:00.007-05:00

I have always stayed away from using Reds and Greens together in fear that the design would look like a Christmas Party. Then, I found this set of images posted on www.theknot.com and fell in love with the look. This is another great example of how a high end look can be created with any color combination.

While doing some basic website maintenance I noticed that we did not have a link to our favorite hair & make-up designer. So, without wasting anymore time I would like to present www.updosforidos.com . Over the past few years we have had the opportunity to see first hand the exceptional work that this team does.

Stone Scapes

2009-02-04T17:41:00.003-05:00

From time to time brides planning outdoor weddings inquire about ways to keep a natural look, while assuring that the heel of their Jimmy Choo's would not be sinking into the grass. This local company offers a service that could solve this problem. Stone Scapes creates custom landscapes and stone designs. Imagine how wonderful it would be to walk down a custom designed stone aisle to great your bridal party at a custom stone alter. This is a real treat for the bride getting married at home as it is an investment in not only the wedding day, but, in the homes value.

Of course you will run into restrictions if your outdoor wedding is at a rented venue, however, it can't hurt to ask. They may be willing to allow you to have this permanent stone design created.

Steelers Wedding

2009-02-02T08:16:00.010-05:00

When it comes to a wedding some grooms are more involved than others. It is the grooms that have very little involvement in the planning that seem to be the ones who wish to select the day's color pallet. Every year brides come to me looking for assistance in pulling their wedding together using the colors of their fiance's favorite sports team. Many times this is the only wish the groom has for the wedding decor. With a creative mind and classic elements any color pallet can look amazing.

In honor of the Steeler's Superbowl win last night I have featured this stunning photo of a wedding tablescape showcasing this team's signature colors.

Three Blondes and a Camera

2009-01-29T06:49:00.005-05:00

This week I received a call from a bride and as with all prospective clients I inquired about the vendors she had selected. When she named Three Blondes and a Camera the name peaked my curiosity. I was not familiar with this group of photographers so, naturally, I did some research. Their website was fun and playful with images that left me eager to work with them.

I was especially intrigued by the Trash the Dress session they have featured. Check out the fun Baltimore images at http://www.threeblondesandacamera.com/wp-content/gallery/teri-and-poz-trash-the-dress/

Naturally Sophisticated

2009-01-28T13:00:00.007-05:00

The 2009 wedding season brings us a number of new trends including the combination of natural elements with sophisticated glamour. I am dubbing this look "Naturally Sophisticated" and expect to see it popping up at weddings throughout the year. This image (Courtesy of www.Stylemeprety.com) represents the look well.

Old Bloom New Style

2009-01-26T17:40:00.012-05:00

So, I have heard the rumors that carnations are making a comeback and I didn't think it could happen. High end designers and brides have been turning their noses up at Carnations for years.

But, this year the carnation is HOT HOT HOT!

These are just a few fun ways to give this classic flower high end appeal.

Obama Wedding

2009-01-20T19:59:00.006-05:00

While watching this afternoon's inauguration I could not help but wonder what the Obama wedding was like. This prompted a search for photos. After a bit of searching I was only able to locate this classic image of Michelle and Barack.

Apparently, my mind always shifts to weddings...

WOW Blog

2009-01-15T19:08:00.006-05:00

Part of the job of being a wedding planner is browsing wedding blogs to learn the latest and greatest in the wedding industry. Today I found my way onto local photographer D. Bryant's blog. After spending several moments reviewing post after post it was clear that this blog was something I should share. It has been a while since I last took a look at Don's work and I had forgotten how good he is.

2009-01-13T08:06:00.005-05:00

K9 companions have been a member of our families for as long as man (and woman) have roamed the earth. However, it has only been in the last few years that our furry friends have become a trendy addition to the wedding day joining the couple on their walk down the aisle.

Custom Photo Station

2009-01-09T09:12:00.007-05:00

Working with new elements in a wedding is very exciting for me and the Historic Events Staff. When our client came to us looking for an element that would be memorable and different we were delighted to direct her to Vivian of www.sapphirestyle.com to have a custom backdrop created for a unique take on the classic photo booth.

The bride opted for a custom painting of the Naval Academy Chapel which was perfect considering the ceremony took place at the chapel and the reception at the Navy Stadium. Guests were surprised and excited by this unexpected addition to the reception. This cool photo station brought out the fun side of even the quietest of guests. Positioning the station adjacent to the dance floor also assisted in getting guests up and moving. This was the finishing touch to an already fabulous wedding.

Thank you to Vivian & Rick of Sapphire Studios for doing yet another fabulous job! I can't wait to work with you again.

Lighthouse Cake by Clara

2008-12-22T10:53:00.007-05:00

I should have posted this entry weeks ago. The weekend of October 18th Clara of Clara's Designer Cakes created a custom cake that was truly beyond the expectations of both me and my client. With just a few photos and a detailed conversation Clara created a cake that represented the Annapolis Point Lighthouse in Nova Scotia. The cake was a nice compliment for the rehearsal dinner at the Annapolis Yacht Club.

This lighthouse was special to the couple as they were honeymooning in Nova Scotia with Plans to visit this historic Lighthouse. It also just so happened that this Dallas couple chose Annapolis, Maryland for their Destination Wedding. All of these elements made this cake very special.

Clara's attention to detail in the cake was amazing. She even created a custom sign with the couple's wedding logo. After this experience I am eager to work with Clara again.

Twas The Bride

2008-12-17T09:38:00.007-05:00

This fun little poem made it's way into my inbox and I felt the need to share. I get a lot of random e-mails, and this one was simply too cute to lock away in the deleted files. Enjoy...

"TWAS THE BRIDE"

'Twas the night before New Years
And all through the house,
The girlfriend was angry
She wasn't a spouse!

She hoped for the joy
That Christmas would bring.
But Christmas had passed,
And she still had no ring!

They'd been together
For over two years.
Long-term commitment-
That must be his fear.

She thought, "That's the reason
That I'm still single.
I'm breaking it off!
Then the phone gave a jingle.

"Come outside," said the voice,
And then went away.
She opened the door,
And there was a sleigh!

He wisked her away,
Grinned like a fox
Got down on one knee
And opened the box.

T'was the first day of New Year
Her eyes opened wide.
"Yesterday, I'm a girlfriend.
Today, I'm a bride!"

She started to panic
"There's so much to do!
To plan a whole wedding.
What do I do?

How do I afford
Everything that I need
To end up with the wedding
Of which I have dreamed?"

Then she remembered
That magazine page,
A F W P I dot com
Before she was engaged.

Her eyes, how they twinkled!
Her smile seemed to glow!
"I can plan everything
At the Bridal Expo !"

Reception hall! Caterer!
Florist and tux!
Save money, save time,
And no acid reflux!

Video! DJ! Photo!
Limousine & Gown!
I won't have to be running
All over the town!"

So she called her attendants
To the shows they all flew.
Ate catering samples
And wedding cake, too!

And I heard her exclaim
Holding prizes she won,
"I found all that I need
Now my planning is done!"

______________________________________________

Custom Red Runner leading to a dramatic black alter highlighted by hanging candles and subtle red branches

Check out these unique black chargers set on black linen with a red ribbon center pressed by smoke grey guitar pick plates. The finishing touch was the red champagne glasses with matching martini glasses and red guitar picks scattered among the deep red Black Magic Roses.

Guest tables were dressed in jet black linens with red napkins adorned with custom back stage passes for each guest. The centerpieces glowed with a deep red crystal gel beneath deep red Black Magic Roses and Black Feathers. Centerpieces were surrounded by red candles in a nest of petals, feathers and guitar pics.

"Thank you to Misty & Steve for allowing me to bring this day to life."

Check back later this month for more photos of this hot "Rocker" wedding...

Trash The Dress - Horseback

2008-10-28T21:29:00.005-04:00

Trash The Dress

Brides have been slipping into their gowns for a variety of settings. Personally, I love horses and was excited about this session presented by Critsey Rowe Photography. These fun photo sessions give the bride the opportunity to show her true personality. It is also a great way to wear you dress once more.

Fabulous Wedding Florist!

2008-10-06T20:23:00.004-04:00

I have known Lynn with Weddingscapes for years, however, this weekend I had the opportunity to work with her and gained a new respect for her talent and innovative decor design concepts. Check out WeddingScapes on-line at www.weddingscapesonline.com The ceremony she created for this weekend's bride was more stunning than the bride could have imaged. Lynn and her team are beyond amazing!

Chair Cover Story

2008-10-02T08:58:00.000-04:00

Each bride we meet planning a wedding at a hotel or conference center has the same complaint. "The Chairs are awful" The reality is that the chairs are selected for corporate comfort and not for wedding elegance. The bride's initial idea is to replace the chairs with wonderful Chiavari Chairs, however, after discovering not only the added cost to rent the chairs she discovers there is also a fee to deliver the chairs and then a fee charged by the venue to set the chairs. Many brides find that this is out of their budget. Next they start looking at chair covers. At this point the question is what type of covers and this is where the fun begins!

Standard White Cover w/Colored Sash

This cover style will fit most banquet chairs, however, you will want to bring a sample to your venue to test prior to you event as these are not "one size fits all". These are the least pricey option at only $3 - $4 per cover & sash combo.

Rent these covers locally from bride-to-be Shaina Spoone at www.dovelinen.com

Pillow Case Covers

These covers are a sure thing for any banquet chair. I have yet to see a chair we can not cover with this fabulous design! If you venue says "Chair Covers will not fit on our chairs" introduce them to the pillow cover. These pieces come in a range of colors and fabrics. If you are a crafty bride you may even be able to make these on your own. Although these are not the type of covers that work well with a sash; Once tied the covers can be adorned with all sorts of creative accents. These covers will dent your wallet a little more at $4.50 - $6.50.

Rent these covers locally from Silvia at www.rentalstoremember.com

Spandex Chair Covers

Finally, we have the Spandex Chair Covers. this gives a more modern feel to your vent with clean lines and a snug fit. Given the flexibility of the covers these will fit on most chairs, but, as with the standard chair cover I recommend trying a sample on your venue chair before your wedding day. Contact Silvia at Rentals to Remember in Annapolis for pricing http://www.rentalstoremember.com/ 410-295-3446

Winter Wonderland Wedding Design

2008-09-24T10:24:00.000-04:00

I have truly become passionate about designing Winter Wonderland Weddings. These weddings allow creativity to flow. I love building whimsical designs using frosted branches, Snow White roses and hints of winter hues. Weather we are working with a traditional snowflake or an elaborate design inspired by Narnia the weddings are spectacular!

Chair Treatments

2008-09-15T19:42:00.000-04:00

Kilby/Wunderlick Wedding

Ning/McKosker Wedding

A wedding with attention to detail is sure to address the chairs. Chair treatments can be simple or over the top. No matter what design you select it is sure to leave an impression on the event guests.

The Birdcage

2008-09-08T08:31:00.000-04:00

The classic Birdcage veil is making a strong comeback for the 2009 Wedding season. This simple headpiece is being seen everywhere from intimate waterside ceremonies to opulent ballroom receptions. Some brides are choosing to wear a cathedral length veil for the ceremony and switch to the simpler veil for the reception. This gives you a totally new look very quickly.

Log onto http://www.birdcageveils.com/ for more information about this classic wedding "must have"

An Apple A Day

2008-09-07T17:06:00.000-04:00

Fruit is always fun! Jackie & Louis wanted to include apples into the decor. Not only did we include addles, but, we used the colors of the Gala Apple as our color pallet. This military wedding was held at Ft. Meyers Officer's Club just outside of Washington, DC.

Check out the Officer's wedding captured by Marilou Burleson of Burleson Studios ( http://www.burlesonstudios.com/ )

Destination "I Do"

2008-09-05T13:02:00.000-04:00

More and more couples are opting to make their wedding day a getaway for their guests. One of the items that brides seem to forget when booking a destination wedding is their photography. Your wedding day is one of the most important times in your life and should be documented with style.

I always suggest that brides contract a photographer they can meet with prior to the wedding and if possible have an engagement sitting taken prior to leaving for the destination. This way you can have your photographer with you for the Wedding Day as well as to do some fun shoots at your destination.

Check out these amazing destination Dominican Republic shots courtesy of one of my favorite Photographers Laura Olson of In His Grace Photography. Laura, is more than just one of my favorites. She has a style of shooting that is ideal for destination weddings!( http://www.inhisgracephotography.com/ )

Art Deco with Shades of Poe

2008-09-05T08:38:00.000-04:00

Our focus is on upscale events and our clients usually have a hefty budget to work with. However, when a prospective client comes to us with an exciting design concept and tight purse strings we can not resist taking on the challenge. Nicole and her mom Loretta sought us out to help bring their dream of a wedding with Art Deco flair to life on a budget. As the ceremony and reception would be held at the Historic Westminster Hall it only made sense to include Edgar Allen Poe into our finished event design.

We had a lot of fun with this client. Her creative edge let us bring in some great design items! This is a great example of what a savvy planner can do to enhance any budget giving the event a couture feel. Check out Nicole & Neil's creative Winter Wedding.

Nicole even took a few minutes to stroll through the historic tombs and pose for a few shots in front of Poe's grave.

These images were captured by Tony Lewis, Jr. of Burleson Studios (http://www.burlesonstudios.com/)

Sexy at Sotto Sopra

2008-09-04T21:05:00.000-04:00

Every once and a while we get the opportunity to produce an event at an unlikely venue. We were thrilled when Julia contacted us with the idea of an intimate wedding reception at Sotto Sopra one of Baltimore's finest restaurants. Using Sotto Sopra's existing decor as inspiration a remarkable event design was developed. Check out the images of Julia & Mathew's intimate Sunday Afternoon affair.

These images have been captured by Marilou Burleson ( http://www.burlesonstudios.com/ )

Winter Wonderland

2008-09-04T19:19:00.000-04:00

Winter Weddings have become our the events of the year! Our winter brides have proven to be open to trying new decorating ideas. Check out the New Year's Day wedding of Terria & Kami at Celebrations Church in Columbia. In order to give the aisle a more intimate feel we lifted 8 stunning floral pieces constructed of Giant White Hydrangeas, Akito Roses, White Orchids, curly willow and custom painted pine cones collected by the bride's South Carolina family. To add an icy element to these spectacular pillar displays we dressed them in white muslin adorned with hanging crystal strands secured to a silver satin ribbon.

We also dressed the Alter by creating a fabric swagged piece inspired by a Chuppa. This element added to the intimate feel of the large space as well as bringing in more of the winter whites to the ceremony.

The images were captured by my friend and photographer Marilou Burleson ( http://www.burlesonstudios.com/ )

Something Blue...

2008-09-04T19:02:00.000-04:00

This year has been a "blue" year. We have had a number of fabulous weddings with this soothing color pallet. Check out the wedding of Kim & Jason at Kent Manor Inn . This fun couple opted for a garden style reception with traditional elements. The ceiling treatment highlighting the dramatic chandelier was a "must have" for this traditional bride.

These images were captured by the fabulous Vivian of Sapphire Studios ( http://www.sapphirestyle.com/ ).
