How to create crystalized vases for your wedding

What do you think of these vases? This D.I.Y. project will stun your crowd. These vases can be used as center pieces for tables or for other decorative purposes. To create these vases you just need to purchase clear vases at any Hobby Craft shop, spray paint them white, let them dry then you will spray adhesive spray onto the bottles and roll them in Epsom salt. The Epsom salt creates a texture that looks like pearls because of the white spray paint! Such an easy and affordable project for any wedding or event.

Out door events, wedding ceremony or receptions

Summer weddings with  Jennifer Lane, A Memory Lane Event

Justin and Reliegh

Spring & summer has its snow and rain showers and fall has its early blizzards and more rain thus providing Coloradoans with unpredictable and sometimes severe weather.  Combine that with our occasional flooding and you never know what surprises the weather will have in store for your special day. Be flexible and hire a professional planner and coordinator such as A Memory Lane Event & Wedding who will prep you for alternatives and be prepared in the off chance that there is a change in the weather. Don’t risk your wedding day memories. When planning an outside wedding ceremony &.or reception have a back up plan. We’ve had couples who have wanted an outside sunset wedding in spring, summer or fall without a back up plan a particular couple we worked with last fall would have been getting married at the lake in 31 degree weather & snow.  Two days before and two days later we had 50-60 degree days and it would have worked great.  We’ve had other couples who have wanted to have an out side ceremony in a beautifully landscaped garden area.  It was easy to see how tempting it was to have a wedding there, just stunning. 20 minutes before the ceremony the heavens opened up and began to flood the area where the ceremony was set to take place.  If we hadn’t arranged a back up plan it would have been disastrous. Our staff of 16 quickly ran out in the down pour and moved all of the chairs, reset the second indoor area and dried all of the chairs.  The wedding was still able to take place on time.  The rain finally stopped just after dinner service was over. Pre-ceremony photos had to be taken after the wedding which did delay the reception somewhat.  Remember that even with the best measures taken, if the bride is outside at any point the hem will get dirty.  This is usually true for perfect weather days as well.  The couples and their families were all in good spirits despite the storm and the extra hassles that always accompany bad weather. Just be mindful of outside weddings.  Weather is never predictable, especially in Colorado so make sure you discuss backup plans, that will provide adequate room for all of your guests with your professional planner/ coordinator.  Call A Memory Lane Event & Wedding  today for your free consult.  303-513-2364

Decoding the Dress Code for your guests

Weddings by A Memory Lane Event, Jennifer Lane

Before you can tell your guests what to or not to wear to an event, you need to understand each dress code directive.  These can sometimes can become confusing since most non-celebrity people do not attend many formal type events on a regular basis.  We'd like to take the confusion out of it for you.

White Tie:  Unless you pal around with royalty, you'll need to rent your attire.  White tie attire is a black tail coat that sits at the waist.  Matching black pants.  White bow tie, white pique shirt and a white vest.  Women would wear floor length ball gowns.

Black Tie:  Men wear tuxedo's; women wear floor length gowns or cocktail dresses that go beyond the "little black dress" such as ruffles, sequins or other embellishments.

Black Tie Optional:  Tuxedos and suits are equally appropriate for male guests.  Women can waer either a cocktail dress or a straight floor length gown, but not a ball gown.

Cocktail attire:  Men wear suits; women arrive in knee length dresses or dressy pants paired with silk, chiffon or otherwise evening appropriate blouse.

Festive attire:  Although somewhat frustratingly vague, this allows guests to have fun with their attire.  The fashion forward and daring will take it as a license to wear whatever they please, and others will probably stick to cocktail looks.

No dress code:  Guests will take their cues from the time of day, season and location of the wedding. 

Weddings by A Memory Lane Event

In Denver Colorado, no dress code can mean that people will arrive in blue jeans.  If you're wanting people to arrive more dressed up you should include in your invites a dress code.  For more assistance contact Jennifer at A Memory Lane Event today for your complimentary phone consult.  http://www.amemorylaneevent.com/

That’s nice you say. But event & wedding planners/coordinators are expensive. Extra cash is not exactly being left under the pillow while you sleep by the extra cash fairy. Let’s talk about cost. A MEMORY LANE EVENT & WEDDING COORDINATING has pre-assembled packages for every budget. We also allow you to custom build your own package and a package that charges a flat fee that ranges between 10-15% of your total wedding budget. We have the same type of packages for events. Fees are based upon the location(s), budget, total guest count and logistics of your personalized event or wedding. For example, if your wedding budget is $30,000, you may find yourself forking over as much as $4,500 for our services, if you only want to make decisions and not be overly involved in the planning and preparing time. Although this is understandably expensive it is well worth every penny and your piece of mind.
