planning 101-the cocktail hour

The cocktail hour. It is one hour only, not 30 minutes or 30 days. This segment of the reception takes
place at the beginning of your reception. This normally gives the couple enough to take to take a breather between the cermony and the reception and get some their photographs of the cermony site.

The plan

keep affordable
An accurate head count is the first step. Then use cheaper cuts of meat with nonprotein options.

make it creative
your first meal together or your first trip on the road....

turn down the volume
you have the whole night to party the night away. So jazz, R and B or classical music at a low volumen will do.

Beauty and the Beast

So it is almost fall....this is toward the end of wedding season, the last three months. The weather in
so many weeks we will pitch perfect for a fairy tale moment. Many have looked at the movie Beauty and Beast with a twinkle in their eyes.

inviation

bride

centerpiece
silver candle sticks with rose filled candles
