Part II of Diva Designer-featuring Jennifer Neal Milam
FLOWERSI chose to use interesting flower selections in feature locations rather than tons of traditional flowers. We also utilized the flowers from the rehearsal dinner in the reception. Keeping design and floral selection interesting is a better use of your resources than trying to place flowers everywhere in little bits that eventually are overlooked. WOW factor goes a long way! And consider your location, mine was a shotgun style space and would be filled to the hilt, so I focused upward and outward!
FOODWe wanted the epicurean fair to be indigenous to the region, creative and delicious. We couldn'tget more local than my dad & uncle’s famous bbq! They prepped the meat and the caterer prepared a variety of mini-wiches with all the accoutrement! As homage to my husband’s purest pallet, we also had grilled cheesettes, finished off with our monogram seared into the bread! This detail was a very inexpensive way to sass up something simple and a complete crowd pleaser! Our triple mini cake display was created by Monica Harris with Dumplins Bakery in Jackson, TN .
SEND OFF
We sent off with 100 illuminated balloons with post cards for people to send back once they landed! This was a fun, unexpected and very inexpensive!
It is important when trying to cut cost you do not cut quality. Be thoughtful as to what you make your projects and who you delegate them to. Be sure that the projects can be completed before the wedding week so that you do not feel the pressure of them getting done. And the one thing that you should most definitely leave to the professionals is the flowers or anything that cannot be done until the day of. -Jennifer Neal Milam
