Big Personal Announcement!

The Flaire Weddings and Events family is growing!!

Okay, not the company family per se, but the Cherneski family!

In late April or early May of 2010, we are expecting a new little bundle of joy! We don't yet know whether or not we're having a boy or girl -- we should find that out in early December, and will be sure to update everyone here!!

Our toddler, Ian, is thrilled too (as much as he understands) and on a daily basis, changes his mind on whether he wants a baby "brudder" or sister. :)

What does this mean for our weddings? It shouldn't affect anything that's currently scheduled. However, I will be taking maternity leave for all of April and the first 3 weeks in May (a May 29th wedding will be bringing me back to wedding fun!). Should you be interested in getting married during that time however, please let us know. One of our associate planners would be thrilled to assist you with your big day.

Thanks so much for sharing in our joy with this big news, and we will be sure to keep you posted along the way!

Real Wedding: Beth and Ty

Congratulations to Beth and Ty, who were married in a stunning ceremony this October at the Crane Cottage, of Jekyll Island, Georgia. Following the ceremony, the couple hosted an amazing reception for about 60 of their friends and family.

Flaire Weddings and Events was thrilled to be a part of this day. I met Beth in the spring of 2009, and was instantly excited about her vision. Her colors were black and hot pink (how could I not love this wedding??!) and she knew she wanted to incorporate some damask print items as well.

Beth and Ty were very open to my design suggestions. I recommended chair sashes for the chairs, a specialty linen for the cake table, fabric draping over the sweetheart table, pomander and rose petal aisle decor, two tall-columns with floral arrangements, and hot pink uplighting for the courtyard, all of which made a huge impact on the look and feel of the day. Beth had some of her own great ideas as well; she rented damask-print runners for the tables, she bought luminaries to surround the reflecting pond, and had lots of cute damask-printed items to spice things up as well.

Beth saved a ton of money by ordering her gerber daisies from a wholesale florist, and the Flaire Weddings and Events team put together a majority of her centerpieces and bouquets (with a bit of help from the wedding party here and there!) :) We also created the gerber daisy pomander balls for her aisle decor, as well as the two floral arrangements gracing the roman-style columns.

All in all, this was one of my favorite weddings to date, with many fabulous vendors contributing to its success:

The Jekyll Island Club Hotel provided the catering and the cake, and the fantastic music throughout the night was courtesy of the Groovetown Band.
