In order to make a well rounded party come to life, you must carefully choose the entertainment along with coordinating lighting to accommodate whichever performance you have chosen. The ambiance that you create at your event plays just as large a part as the rest of the components. Many different moods and themes can be created with the type and color of lighting you use to compliment it. Once you have chosen your preferred form of entertainment and its corresponding atmosphere, you can rest assured that the tone of your event will go off with much success!

The choice of lighting and entertainment you choose will make the difference between just an average event and an exciting and entertaining celebrating  experience!

The right style will add that flawless touch for the distinctive look on your special day.

Weather your gown is traditional or adventurous, classic or ethnic, your final hair inspiration can delicately or boldly fulfill your memorable vision!

We are so excited to introduce our lovely couple Zeina and Mauth who will be celebrating their big engagement party at the US Grant the end of the month and will have their extravagant wedding next spring in Jordan…We are happy to share some of their pictures from Kristina Chartier Photography

Here are a few samples of the amazing gowns brides from Lebanon are wearing down the isle or will change into as they make their debut as “Mrs. So and So” and become ready to dance the night away with her groom!

I have to thank the Ethnic Brides for giving me such an incredible insight to such festive expressions of bridal fashion.  I specifically love the intricate bead-work and embroidery combined with exquisite fabrics and classy femininity!!

I hope you where inspired to do something more out of the ordinary and maybe you too will change into something more colorful for your very own celebration!!

Leading designers like Ziad Nakad, Zeina Mrad Haute Couture, Gina K, and Adlene Azar are some of the geniuses behind these fashion forward sensations.  They create the gowns of luxurious fabrics and hand stitch all the finishing details. All in all each piece is unique and unlike many of the bridal gowns seen before!

With summer just around the corner, we can’t help thinking of all the great tropical drinks that come with the warm weather! For a jamaican influence, try a Coco Loco, a rum-based drink served in a giant coconut. Here’s a recipe for one of our favorite specialty cocktails for a beach wedding. Fun, fruity and refreshing.

COCO LOCO

1 oz. Dark Rum

1 oz. Light Rum

1/2 oz. Creme de Banane

1/2 oz. Pineapple Juice

1/2 oz. Coconut Cream

1/2 oz. Sugar Syrup

Wedding Elegance is proud to be a part of the US Grant Luxury showcase this year. The event showcases a collection of fashion designers, retailers, wedding coordinators, entertainers and photographers, as well as florists and wedding cake designers. Come meet with us and let us help you simplify your wedding planning!

Wedding Elegance designed two tables for this event. The first was in the Bridal Bar, which is our brilliant pink and yellow themed table shown here. This is a sweetheart table, intended for the bride and groom! Here, we wanted to show that it’s possible to mix bright, bold colors together and make it work- reflecting your culture or just a vibrant bride’s personality. We used fun little apple soaps here as favors, keeping it simple, but also presenting something that useful that is easy for bride’s to further carry their wedding theme through their tabletop design. The menus are done in an amazing clear acrylic with pink crystals and yellow etching. The perfectly over-the-top floral arrangement is expertly coordinated with the linens and chairs to create a fantasy dinner date for any bride and her groom!

Outdoors at the competition, you could find our festive orange and brown table, which bride’s actually came through and judged against the competing tables. (We’ll let you know the results when they’re in! There were several different categories, including things like Most Romantic to Best Use of Color, etc…) With this table we mixed a modern elegance with natural elements, while bringing together unique and trendy design choices. The whimsical lanterns float gracefully above a fall-like harvest setting, drawing in guests to a warm and welcoming place to eat, drink, and be merry. The fresh, clean linens are executed expertly with beautiful charger plates, silverware and ornate napkin rings. Guests names are carved on earthy wood pieces, which are setting upon Little Brown Espresso cup and saucer favors. This is a look which can be pulled off with any budget, as many of the items could be substituted out for simpler, less expensive choices, for the money-conscious bride.
