And I haven't post in ages. I'm fairly good at updating in the spring, but then late spring comes and its a flurry of activity at One Girl HQ and I start to slip.
Counting our blessings that we have a fairly late start to "wedding season" this year. We had one wedding in April, but our next isn't until June 23rd. We're starting with a bang, with both of our ceiling fabric drapes in June (i.e. hard but worth it!). Then its onto two in July, three in August, three in September, two in October...
So far, this is the Season of Sensibility. We're doing a lot of Sam's Club bulk flowers for centerpieces, while relying on our amazing floral designer friends for bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. "Rustic Chic" is the hot theme, with mason jar vases and candle holders, grape vine balls, window pane seating arrangements, picture frame chalkboards and reclaimed wood signs. Not only is this beautiful and "North Woods", but its saving my clients money which-no matter what your budget-is a beautiful thing.
"Left of the Ice Pick" so far is a green curry entree choice in September (phenomenal...since the tasting, I've been craving it daily), two Ice Cream Truck deliveries for a wedding surprise, a butterfly release, a fresh fruit and cheese offering instead of wedding cake, and Polaroid cameras with film for a do-it-yourself photo booth.
Favorite wedding favor (so far) is "choose your own" classic, paper back romance. The couple purchased a hundred gently used books from Amazon.com and are writing a hand written Thank You in the cover of each. The books themselves were less than two dollars each with shipping since they're used. I also have hand made soaps, scented or unscented, made by the bride and wrapped with some help and love from her wedding planner.
We're still adding weddings all the time. Even if you're planned to the hilt, (especially, I should say), we offer day of set up, management and tear down to make sure everything goes smoothly. We have five women that will help you rock your day! Give us a call at 715-679-1498, or shoot an email to info@onegirlcreative.net.
Have a beautiful weekend,
