    One Important Role of the Bridesmaid

    Marsh Productions

    The bridesmaids in a wedding will have several roles such as planning the bachelorette party, bridal shower and help the bride make decisions on their attire.

    There is one important role that most bridesmaids forget. What’s that role? On the day of the wedding, the bridesmaids should keep the bride laughing so she can calm her nerves, relieve some stress and enjoy her big day!

    Unsolicited Advice

    Couples: Have you received alot of solicited and unsolicited advice since planning your wedding? At times, the “noise” can be too much and you don’t know who to listen to except your wedding planner. It’s always great to get advice from others all while deciphering the particular information that works best for you.​​​​​​​​​ I reached out to a few of my previous couples to seek one advice they would like to share with those planning their upcoming wedding.

    Per a bride:

    “Make sure to choose wisely the people in your bridal party. It’s better to have two good friends versus 10 people who really don’t want to be standing there with you”. Mrs. A.

    Per a groom:

    “Start the planning process with a budget. The budget may change over the course of the process but you can’t get to where you are going if you don’t know how to get there”. Mr. D.

    Sorority and Fraternity Weddings

    I love when my brides and grooms are in sorority and fraternities. I live for the song and then the stroll. I’m a Delta so I participate in the sweetheart song but I have ZERO rhythm so I leave the strolling to my sorors! 🙂

    Are you a member of the Divine 9? If so, which organization?

    True Girlfriends Are Like Sisters

    A girlfriend holds your hand when you need support, cry with you for the good and the bad, have your back against your enemies and gives you high-fives when you’ve done something amazing!

    These are the girlfriends you want to stand by your side on your big day!

    Brothers – “A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, is there for the ups and downs, will tell you the truth when you don’t want to hear it, will pat you on the back for the big wins and accepts you just the way you are.”

    A brother can be someone outside of your blood related sibling. Choose your “brothers” who truly are your friends to stand with you on your wedding day.

    Designing A Space

    Precision design: Designing a space is fun but it also takes work to ensure it looks precise and beautiful. There is an art that goes into design. This picture showcases one of my favorite floor plan designs. I used a mix of round tables and estate tables.

    This wedding was held at the National Museum of African American Music. We were only the 2nd wedding to take place at this beautiful venue since it’s opening. We wanted to keep the decor simple and not take away from the beauty of the museum. Echoes of Eden designed the beautiful florals keeping in line with our simplistic tabletop decor concept.

    Enjoy the beauty of this space. Don’t forget to check out the museum. And, if you are in need of design assistance for your upcoming event or wedding, feel free to reach out to me.
