Fireworks @ weddings

We all love watching amazing fireworks at the 4^th of July, but did you know that you can have a fireworks show for your wedding day, anniversary or even your birthday party.  It doesn’t have to be as expensive as you may imagine.  There are many ways that the “fireworks” can happen at any event.  You should be prepared however, that with most things the more elaborate that you go, the more expensive it will be.  As most of us are aware, Colorado has been in a drought for a few years, so plan to have any fireworks closely monitored by both a fire-station and that they would display over water.  Additionally, a permit will be required.  There are a couple companies that can legally do event fireworks in Denver.  Contact us for assistance in contracting the best company for your desires

Carnival theme – kids & adults - reunions

Who doesn’t enjoy the fairway of a carnival?  The games, the people, the entertainment… the colors, sounds, smells.  No matter your age, when you smell fresh funnel cake it transports you back to a time when you didn’t have a care in the world and why not re-create that for a birthday party or family reunion?  Pure happiness for any age. 

Carnival fairway games, activities and  can actually be fairly inexpensive, especially when you have several children or adults whose birthdays are pretty close together and the expenses are shared across families.   

Family reunions can be boring for many of the attendees so why not bring in a few carnival games and activities to entertain and bring the family closer together?  Imagine; cotton candy, funnel cake, a climbing wall, ross toss, sink the duck and a dunk tank.  Who wouldn’t have a ball with those?

Plus it’s easy to decorate on a large scale; anything goes. If it’s colorful and crazy it’s an absolute winner. Check out some of the following pictures and contact us for help to deliver your carnival themed party with different ideas for all ages to enjoy.

Pro’s & Con’s of using Pintrest to plan your wedding

Pro’s

1. Gives you tons of wedding décor ideas
2. Many different ideas from catering, décor, specialty drinks, centerpieces and much more to give you inspiration.
3. Can assist you in creating an overall vision
4. Once you come up with your overall vision for your event or wedding, try to limit your searching for event and wedding pic’s and instead use Pintrest for clothes, home décor, recipes, specialty drinks etc.

Con’s; Is Pintrest the devil?  Thanks - Water Boy, the movie.

1. Overwhelming amount of options that you can use.  What happens?  Many times brides will fall in love with several different photo’s that they want to re-create for their wedding day, however, the pictures will be different concepts that usually do not blend well together.  Result.  Hot mess.  But it doesn’t have to go that way. 
1. If you work with your event designer, your different ideas and concepts from Pintrest can be blended to work with your over-all vision and create a unique look that is custom made for you.
2. Will end up costing you much more. Why?  The pic’s on display are created to look the best possible which means more product, more expense.  To accomplish the exact same look in each table, décor piece, and display just flat out costs more. 
3. With so many choices, options and concepts it can be confusing.  It’s hard to make a decision and decide on one vision for your big day.

It is important to have the dress picked out before you decide upon the final design of your bouquet and arrangements. You want the them to compliment each other.
