Leslie and Stephen...the DIY

So as a planner when we hear of a bride who wants to 'Do It Yourself' we almost have a cringe in our spirit. We of course never would let you know. But to be honest we aren’t always sure what you say you will do, will actually come about. That was really until Leslie came to us. She had so many ideas but already had them in the works and when they would be done by. It was music to my ears.

As much as Leslie is a creative, DIY bride, visionary, organized she new that she needed us. I remember the first time meeting her that she had all of her ideas in a folder, color swatches, plans and more. She was wise to choose some great vendors to work with as well.

So check out the details that we were capture from her wedding.













Laughter over a day well done.
So did you get all the DIY items:
Back ground for ceremony
Had the stand built and she did the fabric and monogram painting/stenciling
Monogram that she created and used throughout
Invitations
Programs
Place cards
Table numbers
Vellum in the centerpiece at the sweetheart table
Labels for the favors
She purchased the flowers and had us place them in the centerpieces containers. They were purchased from a local florist to insure great quality.
Sign over the Sweetheart table
Stands for the lights to strung on the porch
Cake decoration on the cake
'We Did' letters on the cake table
And the list goes on and on…
Congratulations Leslie and Stephen! By the way, you couldn't have choosen any better colors. (Brown and Blue, two of my favorite colors).

Orange and Blue Wedding

We had so much fun at the Riddick-Hickman wedding last weekend! The orange and blue colors made this outdoor wedding at Bay Laurel so fun! I love how the bridesmaids are all holding personalized bouquets! The flowers were made by Floral Expressions, pomodoros lining the aisle were gorgeous!


The bride and groom were married in front of the arch. I love how you can see the waterfall! The orange and blue cake made by the Flour Pot Bakery was just beautiful!

If you're a gator fan or just like orange and blue, use this wedding as inspiration for your own!

Happy 50th Anniversary to the Carlsons


Carlson's 50th Anniversary
We had the privilege of coordinating The Carlson 50th Anniversary party on August 8. It was a very special and unique event for many reasons. For starters, our client (daughter of the couple) lives in North Carolina and we did not get to meet her until one day before the event! A’vie was able to recommend vendors and her final choices included Plantation Hall at Haile for the venue, Celebrations Catering, The Plant Shoppe, Ms. Debbie’s Sugar Art, Eric Redmond as the pianist, Paul from Footstone Photography, and Professional Valet Parking Systems. As guests arrived cocktails and appetizers were served while the wedding video played on the projector screen. Yes, there was video footage of the wedding from 50 years ago! During dinner a slideshow with music played for guests- it was a huge hit! Then came the surprise…Father Tim was there to renew their wedding vows! A bouquet was brought to Mrs. Carlson and she joined her husband in front of all 85 guests to recite the vows they said 50 years ago. Then the couple danced to “Wind Beneath My Wings” which was beautifully performed by Eric. To follow suit of a wedding, the couple ceremoniously cut the beautiful three tiered cake. To honor this special couple and their huge accomplishment, the microphone was passed around to almost a dozen guests to give a toast! The beautiful flower arrangements were given by our client as gifts to several guests and vendors as well! It was a pleasure to be a part of this fantastic celebration of love and family. From all of us at A’vie: Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Carlson!~Noelle
