The Best of 2014 Dejanae Events Style (Day #31)

I'm so thankful for the wonderful 2014 wedding and event season!!!  I have worked with some of the most amazing Chicago and national vendors.  Now having been in business 14 1/2 years, I'd like to say I've seen and done almost everything, but that wouldn't be the case because every couple leaves me open to learning more. 

I am so honored to have been asked by newspapers, blogs and magazines for articles, quotes and even to bring my Partyscape vision to life.  I'm honored to have worked with Diann Valentine for 6-weeks of the summer as the Lead Event Producer on one of her fabulous weddings and to be the Transportation and Logistics Manager of Nike's World Basketball Festival.  I am so honored to now hold Best of Weddings by The Knot in the wedding coordinator category for 6 years and to be apart of their Hall of Fame.  Wow!  And last I'm honored to have the most amazing team of professionals who have had my back.

To my past and 2014 clients...to my vendor friends...and to my amazing family, I toast to you as this year and series of blog post comes to an end.  The year 2014 was great BUT 2015 will be EPIC!!!

Until tomorrow...WEDologize!

Wedding Trends for 2014

I was so excited when I was asked to be a guest blogger and discuss Wedding Trends for 2014 by Bride Appeal. I have taken the liberty to list a few of my favs below, but please check out the entire article at http://brideappeal.com/blog/2014-wedding-trends.

 

Wedding Gown Trends

Bridal Market in October 2013 showed dramatic wedding gowns in shades of pink; dramatic backs; illusion necklines; tons of bling; and even pants suits.  The high-in-the-front and long-in-the-back wedding gowns are allowing the shoe to take the spotlight.  You will also see a lot of texture and three-dimensional appliqués on wedding gowns.

Wedding Detail Trends

Wedding signage is taking over the ceremony and reception!  It is becoming a staple like wedding programs and menu cards.  Some popular signs you will see are “Mr. & Mrs.” on chair backs, “Pick a seat not a side” at the ceremony, photo booth signs that read “Grab a prop and strike a pose” at the reception; and “For your dancing feet” attached to a basket of flip-flops near the dance floor.

Wedding Guest List Sizes

Guest lists are shrinking to around 100-125 guests.  The more intimate wedding of simply close family and friends are allowing couples to stretch the budget further plus give their guests more of an experience outside of dinner and dancing.  You will see restaurants and small boutiques becoming more popular for these intimate affairs.
