Vendor Spotlight::: DeBois Entertainment

Over the years we have the pleasure of working with many talented entertainment companies. I am excited to share one of our favorites- DeBois Entertainment. Their bands have such fantastic energy, when they are present, the crowd is engaged. My clients are always more than thrilled with this company. And put a cherry on top, they are so pleasant to work with and professional too. For their band, they have a designated person who is a MC, which is great for the announcements that you will need to make to welcome your guests and major moments to be announced.

You can listen to some of their wedding bands. But they are even better LIVE!

Rainy Weddings

 With all this rain pouring in Southern California, I couldn't help but wonder how many couples had gotten married over the weekend in the rain, which many find to be unfortunate, while many others think otherwise. 
There is an old saying that rain on your wedding day is actually a lucky omen, and with some tips and backup plans, you can still enjoy your perfect wedding day in beautiful and refreshing way!

When planning to have an outdoor wedding in the winter and spring seasons, you should always have a contingency plan no matter what.  You can start early by checking an almanac or researching online when the driest times of year are in your area.  If you have a tent outside, consider renting a floor, to prevent guests from waking into a muddy reception area. 

If getting married indoors, the rain becomes more of an annoyance than a real problem.  Have plenty of golf umbrellas readily available for guests, family, and bridal party, to shuttle back and forth outside.   Last but not least, if it does end up raining on your wedding day, the best thing to do is grin and accept it and really try to not let it ruin your day.  After all, some of the most beautiful photos and moments come from singing, dancing, and playing in the rain!

A Chalkboard Wedding!

 

Chalkboards are an adorable and unique way to add personal detail to your wedding!  They can be tied in with your invitations, all the way to placecards, table settings, table numbers, and of course, a number of signs and messages that can be placed all throughout your wedding!

Using them in photobooths for guests to write their own personal messages to the bride and groom are also another fun and popular way to incorporate the look.  Chalkboards are relatively inexpensive as well and can be found in craft stores, thrift stores, and even antique shops.  You can also make a fun do-it-yourself project by taking gorgeous antique frames and putting chalkboard sheets in them for some beautiful one-of-a-kind signs!
