Here's the thing about ideas: they never travel solo. Often times after getting to know a client and figuring out what their fairytale wedding looks like, we have multiple ideas for the given event. These ideas translate to "stories" during the design presentation phase of planning. It is here that we give clients many different options for anything design related such as color schemes, floral arrangements, lighting and linens among other things. 



All of these elements should have a personal tie to the bride, groom or their guests. Many times these personal elements are also combined with tradition and trend. A trend we've embraced here, at Amy Kimball Events, is femininity with a modern twist. A wedding in itself is romantic, but romanticism is often reflected in the design as well, depending on your client's tastes of course. Every woman at some point in her life has considered herself a princess and the day that persona becomes a reality is their wedding day. And therefore, the design should be fit for royalty no matter what your budget.



The photo depicted above is a little something we're currently working on and an example of how to incorporate femininity. While the baroque linen adds a modern touch, the assorted pink floral arrangement brings a feminine feel to the table. Another way to add romance is with lighting. Candles are an inexpensive way to add to add a dash of drama and oodles of opulence.

Whether you're an aspiring designer or bride-to-be, embrace the the chaos currently inside your head. Create your own storyboard to calculate ideas and costs. Eventually, there'll be an app for that, but for now you can just settle for some good old sketches.
