Welcome Matrimony Monday 2016

Well first...congrats on your engagement!!!  What does Matrimony Monday mean?  Well with the most engagements happening between the Christmas and New Year holiday, the Monday after New Year's Day is believed to be the most popular planning day for newly engaged couples.  So of course, I need to be apart of the planning and education :)

If you follow our blog, we didn't blog as much in 2015 as we usually do because of the crazy value of weddings and events we had to handle.  But that "excuse" does not stop the substantive blogs we produce.  Now that you are engaged, where do you start?  Check out the links below to some of the blog posts we find to be most useful while planning your wedding:

Real Wedding: Emilie and Terrence

On April18th, the DE Team had the honor of directing a wedding for an amazing couple - Emilie and Terrence.  Their 140 guests were warmly welcomed into Zhou B Art Center where the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception took place on this brisk spring day.  Kenmare Catering handled all of the food and signature beverages enjoyed by all.

Take a look at the wedding day details of Emilie and Terrence's grey, black, and yellow spring wedding:
