Maid of Merlot

Okay wine lovers...this one's for you! Inspired by the mountainside of Capri, I've taken the colors from flowers, shrubs, rock, and water to create this board. Draping tables in a merlot linen will enhance any tableware you use whether it is white, gold, or silver and will help define flowers. In this case, I recommend bringing as much green in as possible to captivate the greenery that lines the mountain. Putting the bridesmaids in a two-tone blue/green bridesmaid dress shows the spectrum of colors that lie beneath the mountain and make up the body of water. Wine bottles top the tables and serve as both a table number and favor to take home. (A cute idea for the bride-and-groom to be would be to go to a local winery and bottle their own wine). And of course, incorporating wine corks for escort card holders is the perfect little touch. Cheeses and chocolates are the absolute way to go for cocktail hour and dessert. Salute!

French Kiss

When I was younger, I really did not like the color pink. However, now it is one of my favorite colors. I can see how pink means so many things and creates so many moods. Pink is very feminine and dainty which is the perfect color to celebrate a woman, especially on her wedding day. In this case, I went with a very pale pink hue. By contrasting it with black, a very chic, sophisticated, and sensual vibe is created. I wanted to add my favorite flower - anenomes! They are also very dainty and airy and have the contrasting black centers so they coincide perfectly. Adding some crystal touches whether it be in a chandelier or adorning the invitation, makes the look evtra exquisite and makes me think of Paris, hence the name.

Pretty Pretty Peacock

In 2009 we were introduced to the peacock feather trend. Peacock featheres were popping up in bridesmaids' hair and then they were making their way in to centerpieces. I love the idea of a peacock feather, but usually it is worked in with all of the dark blues and purples in which it consists of. I wanted to show how to lighten and brighten this idea by adding teals, golds, champagne, orange, and pinks. It's a great color palette!

Chic Autumn Elegance

For brides getting married in Autumn, you may just "Fall in Love" with this inspiration board! I took the trendy gray and mixed in the oranges and golds of the season. A very sophisticated and somewhat futuristic short bridal dress is very fashion forward! The cake shares the silver belt on the dress as ribbon highlights each layer. Both the bridesmad dress and the invitation mimic that of the bridal dress with their sash and bow. Cala lillies are the perfect pick for flowers as they make nice compact and thin bouquets and provide the exact hue I was going for. Throwing in a manzanita tree draping in crystals puts a little chill in the air setting the stage for an event that is chic, cool, modern, and elegant!

Striped with Class

Black and white has always been the staple in formality, so when it comes to having a wedding where pinky fingers should be seen during the toast, this is as elegant as it comes! Black and white can be used year round and it's meaning doesn't change. By creating different pieces that stand out according to their shapes, in this case I used stripes, you are creating a simple theme that will cause guests to tie it all together by the end of the night. It'll be in black and white!

Have the Time of Your Life!!

Really, have the time of your life and set the mood as to how the rest of the evening will go with an amazing and unforgettable first dance! If you as a couple are upbeat and having fun, your guests will be right alongside you in no time sharing in the excitement! I've seen many choreographed first dances and I have to say that this couple really had a lot to do with putting the idea on the map! Thanks to their excellent re-enactment of Dirty Dancing, couples are not afraid to take the first dance to the next level!

And, should you be interested in the NJ/PA area and are interested in a choreographed first dance, do not hesitate to contact me!

happily ever AFTER PARTY!

All The Rave presents happily ever AFTER PARTIES! Now you can keep the party going after the "last dance". Let's face it, no one wants the wedding to end, not even the bride and groom! So why let it? The average bride and groom have about 150 guests to their wedding. The average reception is about 4 hours long. If you break it down, as a bride and groom, the quality time you actually get to spend with each of your guests, is about 1.6 minutes! Think about it. Often guests travel from out-of-town and sometimes out-of-state for your special day. Wouldn't it be nice to spend more than 2 minutes with them? AND...after all of that dancing, it's safe to say people are hungry all over again! Soooo why not take the next step and book a party by All The Rave where you finish the wedding and get ready for phase 2! We will theme it to your liking.

Some themes can include:

Karaoke (you just KNOW that would be fun)

Boardwalk Fun If you're a foodie, you'll love to have french fries with different toppings, ice cream, or funnel cake. The best pictures of the night might be captured inside the photo booth!

Carnival Can you taste the cotton candy? How bout the sno cones? Hot dog anyone?

Spa Wouldn't it be nice to unwind with some massages and fun drinks while rehashing the events of the evening?

Go to the BAR Whatever type of bar you'd like: ice cream, candy, pancake, you name it!

Let Them Eat Cake Hey, not everyone gets to have a piece of the wedding cake, why not have an "after party cake" for those partiers?!

Breakfast in Bed Mmmm what tastes better than some bagels, donuts, and egg sandwhiches with some nice strong coffee OR mimosas while lounging on a cloud of pillows with friends for some "pillow talk"

Cigar Rolling Keep the party on a roll! What a way to celebrate!

We will work with your venue or locate a different venue to ensure a quality event while of course keeping in mind that your guests' saftey is important, so the proper transportation will be suggested.

Having an "after party" will SURELY make your wedding All The Rave!
