Dance into the New Year with this vivacious and reddish orange! There are many colors being brought into the 2012 Spring/Summer fashion world but the Pantone color of the year will be Tangerine. 2011's honeysuckle color was a mire shadow of this year's. Watch for trends with this bold color being paired with Cockatoo (light turquoise color) and Bellflower (kind of a lilac color). I have to admit my excited over this industry trend, as I wear this shade a lot. From my clothes, nails, and even makeup. I have said many times, over the years, fashion plays such an enormous roll in wedding design and that it is hard to not incorporate the "year's color" into a clients design. They say...the color Tangerine is to alter the mood with vitality and renewed energy. A brighter day..isn't that what weddings are all about?

Premier W.E.D. has only 2 clients out of the 2012 bookings who are local. All other clients are from out of state. This has been more and more common over the last three years. Nashville is an amazing destination wedding location. A lot of our clients are from Nashville area originally but moved away for school or work. They are familiar with the "feel" of the city but unfamiliar with all of it's new offerings in the event world. Enters Premier W.E.D.! We assist our clients in finding the perfect location for their wedding/rehearsal dinner/reception. There are many options (overwhelmingly) in different price ranges and capacity. I am often asked "what is the most popular location for a wedding in Nashville?" The favorite ceremony site is Scarritt Bennett at Wightman Chapel.

This is the third Flatt Family wedding we have had the honor to assist with. Lee is the the last of 3 siblings to marry (All with in about a year and half of each other) and he has chosen a jewel! Sarah is originally from Germany but has lived in the states for a few years. The study of music has brought the two together and they have chosen a January wedding at the beautiful St. George's Episcopal Church in Nashville. The reception will follow at Stone's River Country Club in Murfreesboro where Lee's parents reside. Sarah has a beautiful vintage/classic sense of style and I have attached photos that will represent the palette and look of the evening. As excited as I am for this family to welcome another wonderful person into it, I am sad I won't see Lee's family again! Maybe they will throw another party? :-)

Alexis and Damion hired Premier W.E.D. back in March for their 2012 wedding. Time if flying by as we finish their plans for a beautiful ceremony and reception at the Noah Liff Opera Center. Both live in Auburn, Alabama and meeting time is limited but we are almost set! Alexis is a school teacher and Damion was an Olympic Track Athlete. This wedding is exciting for me because we will incorporate some of Alexis's family heritage and Damion's. Though most of the ceremony and reception will reflect their modern sense of a traditional American wedding, they will partake in a Nigerian wardrobe change and the traditional dance entrance into the reception. I can't wait! Alexis isn't so sure, but I know her father will appreciate it. Damion is from the Caribbean and we plan to have menu items and music the remind him of home. I am posting their Save The Date and some inspiration photos we put together for their upcoming nuptials! Looking forward to it!
