Spring/Summer Inspiration Oversized marĀni glasses can

be used in a multude of ways.

We see them most o en used

on candy buffets, but why not

use them as the vase for your

centerpiece? They add a bit of

style, aren’t as widely used, and

they aren’t too far outside of

the box for the couple that’s

afraid to be too trendy or edgy.

Helpful Hints We absolutely LOVE the Huffington Post wedding blog! From planning, to equee, to honeymoon advice, they really have well thought out arcles that we like passing along to you. Although this one is a bit older, we sll feel a lot of it rings true. Click HERE to see the arcle! Here are a couple of our thoughts: 1. This is a biggy. It is your day for the TWO of you. So try to keep your needs and wants at the forefront, but real-ize that you may have to make a few compromises here and there (especially if someone is offering to pay for something). Your family will want to feel like they are a part of the planning. So include them in ways you can, and decide what you will and won’t compromise on. 4. Pinterest is AMAZING, but it is also overwhelming. Not EVERYTHING has to be DIY. You don’t have to incorporate every fun food, drink , photo, place card, etc. trend. Think of the items that you remember (because they were awe-some) from weddings you’ve aended, and pick 2 or 3 BRILLIANT ideas that make sense for you to incorporate.

What Our Clients are Saying... “I stumbled across this gem while trying to find a

venue for a friend’s wedding, and I'm so happy I

did find the Lakewood Country Club. We booked

our venue a year in advance and were able to

make monthly payments which helped us budget

our wedding but that's not all. Natalie and Katelyn

and the enre staff catered to all our needs from

black vodka to hot pink charger plates. They were

a huge help in making our wedding as alternave

yet formal as can be. I'd like to think that they

were more than venue coordinators, they became

our friends! I will definitely have this venue in

mind for future events!!” - Angela, November
