Tabletop Tuesday: Pleasing Purple

There is snow coming down outside (not a lot, but still) and chilly temperatures, so we're warming up with a little inspiration from our friends at Todd Events. To remind us that spring is just around the corner, the latest D Weddings features a hue we're seeing a lot of lately - purple. Play it sweet with pastes or glam it up by mixing in black, as shown below. This wouldn't be a bad bet for a Valentine's dinner, now would it?

Tabletop Tuesday: Jackie Onassis

AK Events was asked by D Weddings to design a tabletop for the ideal client. When you think timeless weddings, Jackie O isn't far from your mind. With her impeccable poise and grace, she was the epitome of understated glamour and beauty. We think she would be just as impressed with this tablescape, too.

Place orders and deposits by August 31, 2012, and enjoy this combo pricing from now until the end of the year because this is a trend that plans on sticking. The only question left is, what to wear?

Summer Steal: The Classic Chiavari

It's the favorite that works a ballroom and an outdoor wedding in a field with the same classic cool. Dress it up, choose a bold color, or just let the chiavari speak for itself with natural coloring. We've talked about our love for the chiavari chair before, and now we're spreading the love with one of our Summer Steals. Order and place a deposit for your chiavari by August 31, 2012, and get each chair at a special $6 price on events now throughout 2012. Take your pick of red, green, silver, gold, black, ivory, fruitwood, and natural with your choice of black, ivory, or white cushions. At this price, what are you waiting for?
