We Have Some Exciting News!

With every new season there are always new trends.  It is our job to stay on top of all the latest happenings so your event will set the standard among your guests.  In 2012 we have some exciting  additions at BRAVO! and can’t wait to start working with you.

1) Event Design and Coordination

We are thrilled to announce our newest addition to the BRAVO! Team Rachel Briggs.

Rachel graduated from the College of Charleston with a BA in Corporate and Organization Communications. She has 5+ years of experience in Special Events Marketing and Design in the Charleston event industry.  There she specialized in corporate and social event design, production and sales.

Her passion lies with special event floral and event design focusing on custom production. Rachel will be heading the Event Design Department at BRAVO!

By working with  BRAVO! you will have a full service experience.  Not only can we handle your rentals but your event design, coordination and floral as well.


2) S’mores Bar

We have all seen the candy bar or cookie bar trend pop up at weddings the past couple of years but nothing compares to the comfort of the  S’mores bar.  It made its debut at the BRAVO! Bridal Expo in January and it was an immediate hit!

You can even mix it up by offering Kit-Kat, Reese’s or Snickers s’mores.

3) Colored Chiarvari– This new trend is popping up everywhere and BRAVO! is the first in the area to rent these brightly covered chiarvaris.

Whether they are for a dinner party or a wedding these chairs will make any event pop!

4) Bounce Houses

Now at BRAVO! you can rent a bounce house for your next birthday party, festival, or family reunion.

Don’t forget the snow cone and popcorn machine.

5) Farm Benches

These benches are a great seating option that flows well with our recently added farm tables.  They also make a great look for the ceremony.

6) Chandeliers

Lighting is an important part of setting the mood at your next event.  BRAVO! now offers a variety of options no matter what your style or  theme may be.

We took our out of date brass chandeliers and transformed them to funky, one of a kind lighting for your next shindig!

7) Mason jars

No need to go out and buy a ton of mason jars for your special rustic themed event    BRAVO! now rents mason jars! Use them for that specialty drink, as table decor or use them as lighting and hang them from trees.

What trends are you thinking of incorporating into your event this year?

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.
