Hello all. We would like to introduce you to one of our fabulous couples getting married next year.When asked to give a brief description of how they met, the eager groom shared this:

“It was a Monday evening in August when Feifei’s friend Tina decided to take her out because she had been down and out for the past couple of months.  Feifei normally did not go out or drink because she was always busy with work and school.  Somehow that Tina convinced her to go out with her.  Clyde frequently went with his friends but this day he wasn’t really in the mood to hang out.  His roommate and close friend Nelson asked Clyde if he (more…)

Hello all….We love all things unique and different.  So we love the idea of mismatched dresses for your bridesmaids.  This adds a unique touch to the look of your wedding.  Now there are a few rules involved in selecting the different dress designs:

Hello all… When selecting colors for their wedding, many brides try to “match” certain colors together.  One easy color scheme that has a major impact is called the “Monochromatic” color scheme.  What does that mean?  Having a monochromatic color scheme would be the use of various tints, shades, and hues of one single color.

This picture depicts the various shades of one color red.  Creating a wedding color scheme of this sort creates drama and can give the room a wow factor.  Lighting plays an important role in this type of design.  Up-lighting around the room has a large impact.  Please view examples of different Monochromatic designs below.
