Featured Wedding~ Lori & Johnny

WDS wowed the Italian Cultural Center crowd, again, this past weekend. Lori & Johnny a fabulous couple, wanted an elegant affair with soft hues and whimsical fabric draping.
They accomplished this through alternating centerpieces and placing a large chunk of their budget into room decor and Centerpieces as opposed to linens and floral.

"Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing decor! When Johnny and I looked into the room it literally took our breath away! We have received endless complements on the decor! Our relatives in Italy are still talking about it. Fabio, the manager at ICC, said in all the years he has worked there, our wedding was the best he's ever seen. Thank God we have lots of pictures of the decor!"

~Love Lori & Johnny Asrurino

2010 Wedding Trends

For 2010, weddings are headed back to the basics, emphasizing the meaning of the event rather than glam and grandeur. According to Get Married, next year we'll see a return to traditional, home-town events. This may very well be a result of today's tough economy, since while couples are still getting married, budgets are slimmer and the money families have saved for weddings has oftentimes dwindled along with all of our investments. What to do? Look for ways to personalize your wedding (using DIY projects if necessary) to highlight the parts of your relationship that make it unique. Below are Get Married's Top 10 Trends for 2010:

1. Attention to detail, not drama
2. Intimate and personal at-home weddings
3. Buttercream cakes (rather than fondant)
4. Thanking your guests with thoughtful favors
5. Close-to-home weddings rather than exotic destinations
6. Monochromatic palettes, including vibrant colors, metallics and black
7. Eco-conscious weddings, and not just in appearance!
8. Integrating video on the dance floor, for a better view during the ceremony, and current day video montages
9. HD Videography
10. Hiring both professional wedding photography and videography

Featured Wedding~

Here's an example of how to take a simple concept and make it look phenomenal! A basic damask focal point with a punch of red to jazz up the room. Not only does is create a great appeal, but it's budget friendly!





Blossoms in bloom

Every time we meet with a bride we hear the same thing. "My colours are Purple and Green, so I want my overlay and chairs to be purple and my sashes to be green."

Here's an easy and original way of injecting colour into your decor. Use your secondary color in the florals ONLY.

For this bride her vision was of beautiful pink hues, champagnes and a splash of purple. We used all champagnes for her linens and kept the pinks to her florals, beautifully interlaced in her branch centerpieces. The faintest touch of purple appeared at the base of each vase.

Featured Wedding~ Lindsay Harrington

The is past weekend, WDS created an urban princess' dream!
Soft pinks, rich Chocolates hues and glamour whites graced Westwood Plateau's beautiful west coast beams. An abundance of orchids were draped in every nook and cranny, while gorgeous orchid toppers created a focal point for each guest table. The head table was lined with sunken fresh pink hydrangea to soften the look.
