Tips for newly engaged couples planning a wedding!

11/29/2017

some tips from a wedding planner to make the beginning steps of wedding planning Easy and stress-free! 

So you're engaged... now what? We're using December... the month of engagements... as a chance to share these tips with newly engaged couples and set you up for success! Planning a wedding can be stressful if you don't have all the knowledge you need, and that's where we come in! We have planned, designed, and executed more than 1000 weddings, and we have contacts all over Colorado for many types of vendors. We can help you make the right decisions in the wedding planning process so that you have less stress through the planning process and don't make mistakes. Mistakes are the most expensive part of planning a wedding.  We help you to prevent them! 

Check out our Instagram feed for daily tips and advice about your new engagement! 

Tip #1: Now that you're engaged, you need to pick a season. That's the beginning of the process! It will guide you in picking a venue, style, and getting the ball rolling. It will also help you know how much time you have, we recommend 12-18 months of planning. Many venues and wedding planners book out that far, so you want to give yourself plenty of time to get going. Spring weddings can have rain, sometimes snow,  and the temperatures can be unpredictable. Summer weddings can be hot, with rain in the afternoons. Fall weddings are always lovely, but again, often unpredictable! Winter weddings are often cold and snowy! Think through how you want your wedding to feel - do you want the winter wonderland at the top of a mountain, or the summer afternoon on a lake ?

Tip #2: Start out by thinking big picture. Design the scope of your event as a whole. Don't worry about the details at this point.  Start coming up with an idea of a guest list and idea of a budget. Use all of your resources, sit down and chat with any financial contributors about what your options are. This way you have a better idea of what to expect when you start chatting with wedding planners, venues and various vendors. Your wedding is a project, and you need to know the scope of work so you can make the best decisions! 
Tip #3: The next step is to find a wedding planner that you connect with. Someone you feel comfortable with, and enjoy talking to is a good choice. Typical wedding planners have several options for packages from help on just the day of through full wedding planning. Figure out what you can afford based on the budget you have, and find a planner with a package that matches it. A good planner can help you through your venue search, to make sure your budget is not unbalanced and the needs of the project are met. Find the right person for you. Read reviews, check out portfolios, and make certain that they are experienced enough to handle your event.

Denver Wedding Planner - Sweetly Paired

Meghan and Mac were one of our favorite couples of  2017! They are just the happiest, cutest pair. Occasions did a great job with the food, Caitlyn Alysse did a great job with the gorgeous wedding photography, and Bella Calla killed it with the florals. You guys... Those figs on that wedding cake, though! Azucar bakery did a gorgeous job of creating a delicious as well as beautiful cake for the wedding. We loved the white wedding flowers, the stunning antipasto and table settings, and that amazing candlelight on that head table. Spruce Mountain Ranch is an awesome venue, and we love our weddings there. We have coordinated many weddings there, both at Albert's Lodge and Ponderosa. We can help you to plan your dream wedding and make sure it is a stress-free planning experience.

Don't be afraid of color at your wedding - Colorado Event Design

11/12/2017

5 Comments

 

You shouldn't be afraid of color - It an make the decor and guest experience! 

One of the best things you can do for any event is hiring a skilled event planner. An experienced event or wedding planner should have the skills to help you design your event from top to bottom to curate the evening, as well as guest experience. The best event designers design events with the guest experience in mind, but at Sweetly Paired, we also consider the hosts of the event as guest AT the event. An event planner takes the stress off planning, but they can also give you the peace of mind of knowing the event design is also on point. 

When it comes to color and contrast - don't be afraid of color at your wedding. You can really change the visual experience for your guests, but also the thing you're left with after the big day - the photographs. If you choose the right color palette, florist, and decor - it can really make your day POP on camera, as well as in the experience of your guests. You can use color in boutonnieres, bouquets, centerpieces, linens and attire. You can reach out about your event design - we offer full event design to make sure your event is cohesively thought-through! email us at [email protected] anytime for help! Contrast is a great idea in wedding and event design... the last thing you ant is a white wedding dress with a big white bouquet in front of it looking like a washed out pregnant belly in your photos. If your girls are in a rich color, go light with their bouquets, and go rich color with a bouquet against light colored dresses. Find the contrast, find the color balance with your wedding or event palette.
