SoCo Events Featured: Grace Ormonde Tabletop Design

I have been waiting to post this for some time now, and I am very excited to share that our tabletop design is featured in the current issue of Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine!

Last winter, I was honored when the Grace Ormonde team contacted me to help coordinate their trip to DC. I immediately put together lists of amazing venues here in our nation's capital that fit the Grace Ormonde style and got to work organizing.

Once Grace chose the Anderson House and the St. Regis Hotel from my list, Amaryllis and I started the designing process.

I hope you enjoy the end result as much as we do!

Thank you to all of the amazing vendors who put in a tremendous labor of love for this shoot

THE LWD: Little White Dress

More and more of my lovely brides are choosing to have a wardrobe change into a fun party dress fit for dancing! These little dresses are making their way into after parties all over the wedding scene. We think this is a trend that is here to stay! Not only does this make for a fab photo, it is actually functional for the dance floor and (dare I say it) something you could wear again!

You can go the couture route or off the rack.
The choices are endless, but here are a few of our faves...

You can never go wrong in Marchesa!!

Do you think recent bride, Blake Lively, wore an after party dress like this?!?

SoCo Event's bride Katie looked stunning in Monique Lhuillier

This Antonio Berardi embroidered number proves that you do not always have to go with white!

Theses LWD are off the rack and on SALE!!

Are you wearing a LWD on your wedding day?!?

Decor Inspiration: Backdrop Beauty

Wedding backdrops have become huge! Whether you choose to have one at your ceremony or behind the head table, backdrops are one of the top trending focus elements moving into 2013.

We are currently designing some amazing backdrops for an upcoming wedding, which was the inspiration behind this post. We can't tell you how much we love that by adding this element to the party, it allows us to infuse an enormous amount of style. Backdrops can transform your decor and truly set the stage for your wedding.

We have always been a fan of backdrops here at SoCo Events and love how they create the ceremony focal point, turn a dessert table into a confectionary centerpiece or provide color and style for the background of photos. Here are a few of our favorite background beauties...

Our paper flower wall was inspired by a Chanel runway show, and Amaryllis was amazing in making it come to life!

Isn't this ceremony backdrop dreamy?!?!?

I love the texture and dimension!

Like a love letter from years past, this backdrop is ultra romantic!

The color blocking would be great as a photo booth backdrop

We loved seeing our name in lights!

As you are planning the decor for your event, don't forget the power of the backdrop. You will thank yourself later when looking at all of your photos!
