A Beautiful & Inexpensive Flower Idea

Instead of using the traditional flowers down your ceremony aisle runner, why not mix it up a bit by adding untamed posies to a wooden flower frame? You can then echo the look with an abundant bouquet.

At your reception, you can recycle your makeshift garden and turn it into an escort-card display. Have  your friends place the aisle runners on your cocktail hour, where they can then serve as a backdrop for your name cards. Yet another use-at the end of the night, take them home. You can use them in your backyard as trellises.

Vendor Spotlight - Salon Acote

I am always looking for new vendors to introduce to my clients, ones that are known for their great expertise and impeccable experience. When planning a wedding (or other event), it is very important to match the bride and groom with a vendor that is compatible with their personalities and will suit their needs. 

This week, I'd like to spotlight a salon in Boston located on one of the most sophisticated and glamourous streets in the city, Acote (pronounced "aqua-tae"). As wedding season kicks into high gear, every bride needs the perfect hair stylist. Salon Acote, located at 132 Newbury Street in Boston, features paramount experience, as well as a knowledgeable, in-house wedding coordinator who can help plan and provide assistance for the entire bridal party. 

Seasoned salon stylist, Danielle Choolijan, was recently featured in the wedding issue of Boston Magazine. In addition to specific bridal updo or blowout stylists, make-up artists are also available at Salon Acote. If a bride already has a make-up artist chosen, she can bring them into the salon to work upstairs in the loft, perfect for special events like a wedding day.

Pink & Gold Inspirations

Along with having such wonderful ideas, Martha Stewart Weddings offers great suggestions with color palettes.  I think this color combination of pink and gold is perfect for summer weddings and parties. The colors don't need to be all the same, just keep them in the same color family. 

Totally Nautical

We are completely inspired by this Nantucket summer seaside color and clam bake scheme via Snippet & Ink.

Something Blue

Our recent find of this subtle and super easy-to-do in blue: a something blue hem! This is such a clever idea for sneaking a something blue into your dress. Simply ask your seamstress to add the wedding day as an extra seam under your hem for a stress-free sew.

Tasty Local Liquors

If you are getting married abroad (or even if you aren't but you think your cocktail hour could use a little flair), here's an intoxicating idea: Consider incorporating locally made spirits into your drink list - maybe as an ingredient in a signature sipper or to spritz up a classic cocktail. Continue reading on for three liquors that will infuse your big day with a sense of place. Having a blast at your wedding, and working in some local culture? We will drink to that! 

Sint Maarten/St. Martin: Guavaberry Liqueur

This half-French, half-Dutch Caribbean isle is know for its guavaberries - small, cranberry-size fruit islanders are made for. They use them in jams, pies, and even their own boot-legged booze. Who knew! 

Brazil: Cachaca

Similar to rum, Brazil's most popular booze is the main ingredient in the country's national cocktail, the calipirnha. It's made from sugarcane, which lends it a distinct, earthy sweetness. 

Mexico: Mezcal

You've heard of tequila, but how about its close cousin mezcal, which packs a smoky, fiery punch? Though this spirit has been around for years, right now its experiencing a pop-culture resurgence with bar-slash-art-spaces dedicated to it, articles written about it, and even celebrities coming out with their own versions of it.

Cheery Designs

Here at Jennifer Lynn Events, we are smitten by these invites we spotted over at 100 Layer Cake from Cheree Berry. They are perfect for summer!
