A Colorful Spring! 3.21.12
Pantone’s Colors of Spring
We wanted to celebrate the start of spring with a Design Series showcasing Pantone’s 2012 Spring Color Line. Over the next few weeks we will be combining colors from this year’s color forecast to create custom color schemes to inspire your next special event.
First up on the color wheel is Pantone’s 2012 Color of the Year, Tangerine Tango.
“Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward. Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”
In this design board we are pairing Tangerine Tango, Cockatoo and Sodalite Blue.
Will you be my Man of Honor and Other Current Trends
Will you be my Man of Honor?
Recently, in pop culture, I have noticed a new trend among brides when picking their bridal party. More and more brides-to-be opt for a Man of Honor or a Brides-Man instead of a Maid of Honor. Some girls are just closer to that guy friend or a lot if times it could be a brother. There are certain responsibilities for your Man of Honor just like your traditional Maid of Honor. Check out Wedding Bee to get more tips.
Man Caves
During a BRAVO! Bridal Expo we saw how successful it was to have a room for the groom so it doesn’t surprise me that this trend is on the rise. These man caves will consist of items like a cigar station, a poker game, a Wing Bar or even a Brandy Bar.
Simple Wedding Cakes
For awhile there we were seeing over the top wedding cakes. It seemed with all the new shows on T.V. the more over the top the better. However, lately we are seeing wedding cakes being toned down quite a bit.
I am LOVING the new ruffled trend!
Very Recently I have seen some brides like Hilary Duff opt for Non-Icing cakes
Non-Traditional Wedding Favors
Why waste your money on something that your guest will never really enjoy? Instead couples are choosing to provide their guests with a dessert bar, a candy bar, cigars and/or souvenir photo booth picture strips in lieu of the traditional wedding favor. Check out the girls at Flash Photo Booth Rental for a local vendor.
Non-traditional Reception Seating
We are seeing more and more couples using different shapes and sizes of tables at the reception to create a more casual lounge feel. Some are using a mix of farm tables and tables with linens. Some couples are even using hay and blankets for a picnic feel.
What new trends are you seeing and liking?
One Sweet Day
BRAVO! Events (and our taste buds) welcome, Sweet. A Cupcake Company to Florence and the Pee Dee area. I jumped on the Sweet bandwagon back in June when we had a going away party for my co-worker Heather. In that first bite of a Strawberry Cupcake my eyes closed and in that moment I KNEW I was a hooked. Ever since then I have been patiently waiting for Sweet to open and today I will feed my craving.
Sweet’s Cupcakes are not only a great way to celebrate a birthday or a wedding but give them to show thanks to an employee (hint hint) or show your customers your appreciation. Nothing will cheer a friend or loved one up like a cupcake from Sweet.
They offer a wide variety of flavors like
- Salted Caramel
- Lemon Raspberry
- Red Velvet
- Strawberry
- Banana Pudding
- Chocolate German
- Key West Coconut
- Palmetto Cream
- Cookie N Creme
- Gimme S’More
- And Much More
In their store on Celebration Blvd in Florence, they will serve gourmet coffee, Icy cold milk and of course their signature designer cupcakes. Make sure you check them out!
