Don't forget about the table number when finalizing the fabulous details of your wedding tablescape.  And showcasing this STUNNING BLING-framed table number would not only tell your guests where they are seated but let them know you paid attention to every single detail while planning your wedding.  LOVE IT!

CSW: Planning An Outdoor Wedding

When it comes to planning an outdoor wedding ceremony and/or reception, there are some important things to consider.  Chicago Style Weddings invited me to give some advice on hosting an outdoor.  Take a look:

"You want to think about your guests and their comfort, " advises wedding coordinator Desiree Moore Dent of Dejanae Events.  If you're doing a summer wedding, hand out fans or parasols as a keepsake so people can cool off a bit. Sunglasses and small bottles of sunscreen are another nice idea.  If you're getting married in July or August when the temps really soar, Dent says, take it a step further: have an air conditioned area accessible where guests, particularly the elderly, can "go inside and take a breather." Depending on your venue, you may need to ward off bugs, mosquitoes, and flies. Survey the space ahead of time, and if necessary, find an eco-friendly bug zapping product to treat the area "so your guests aren't swinging and fly-swatting during your ceremony," Dent says.  "Brides love outdoor weddings," she adds, "but it can take a toll on your guests."

CSW: Eco Chic Made Easy

Are you considering the Earth and saving the environment when planning your wedding?  It's not hard and you don't have to give up on the wedding you have dreamt about all your life to save the environment.  Well Chicago Style Weddings invited me to give some advice on eco-chic wedding planning and how to incorporate it into your fabulous wedding day.  Take a look:

"You can make centerpieces fun and personalized, but  just elegant as if you were to use a lot of flowers," says wedding coordinator Desiree Moore Dent, owner of Dejanae Events.

"People are using more branches and embellishing vases with beading or ribbon to make them more unique than just clear glass."

CSW: Wedding Splurges That Are Worth It

There are some details of wedding planning that you don't want to skip.  I completely understand the need to stay on task and within your budget when deciding on details for your ceremony and reception.  Chicago Style Weddings invited me to give some advice on splurges to make in creating your fabulous wedding day.  Take a look:

"Don't leave the cake table naked, " says Desiree' Moore Dent of Dejanae Events. "Dress it up with elaborate linens, candles, flowers and a cake stand -- because the wedding cake is the focal point of the reception."

Why is lighting so important? "It can truly transform almost any ceremony or reception space, " says Dent.
