Wedding flowers to dye for….
At one of my recent wedding the florist dyed the orchids a deep indigo color. It gave the flowers a really exotic look, they almost appeared to glow. The dying technique used was to put the dye into water and allow the stems to drink up the color. The effect caused was a very natural look of color variation, the center of the flower was a light blue and then gradually increased to a deep purple at the edges of the petals. The picture attached doesn’t really do it justice. For any bride looking for a unique and eye catching effect this is a great idea to consider.
Wedding Music Ideas
For every bride out there that wants help selecting tunes for her wedding and reception, I would like to make a recommendation: Check out www.pandora.com! This website is amazing, part of the music genome project, it was created in 2000 by a group of music loving technologists. Pandora allows you to create your own music stations and then customize your preferences. How you ask? After you select a genre or artist you love the site plays one song of that type, then starts offering another, similar but slightly different musical selection. You give each song a thumbs up or a thumbs down, this is how the site learns your personal preferences and thus customizes radio station just for you. This a great tool if you have a general idea of what you want to hear, but need a little help with the details. And don’t just use this for weddings, I listen to my stations on pandora daily at my computer while I work, you can even have it streamed to your iphone!
New Wedding Venue in Atlanta: Hotel Palomar
- Hotel Palomar
Last week I had the opportunity to tour one of Atlanta’s newest and most posh wedding venues: Hotel Palomar. Kelly Treadway (formerly of Divine Events Catering & Novarre Events) hosted Lynn Lilly (of blackout productions, www.blackoutpromotions.com) & myself for wine hour at the beautiful, unique space. Of all of their meeting spaces my favorite was the casual yet alluring terrace, AltoRex. This open-air rooftop lounge offers comfortable terrace seating or the private cabanas, a bustling bar scene and glowing fire pits, all with the glittering Atlanta skyline as the backdrop. This venue is ideal for the bride or host that wants a trendy & chic event that that makes a distinct and memorable impression on their guests. http://www.hotelpalomar-atlantamidtown.com/
