Comments from our latest bride

Want to hear what our brides have to say?...Here is our latest bride Nadia and what she has to say about Signature Occasions

"I really appreciate the support I received from Debbie and Kristen. They did a splendid job of helping me see my vision through from start to finish. They also provided great recommendations for vendors who could help bring this vision to life. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. Everything was so well organized, and if anything did go wrong, it was handled before I became aware of it. They really saw to the details and honestly cared about what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better pair to help me get through all of the details. I was really surprised at all of the decisions that had to be made, but they walked me through, gave suggestions, and really listened to what I wanted. I'm forever grateful for the hard work they put into making this occasion perfect. And it truly was-from our first meeting to the last rose petal that fell on my train as we entered the limo and left the reception. "

Congratulations Nadia & Carl!

The bride and groom are both sweet and kind-hearted people who feel blessed to have found each other. It was a pleasure being a part of their wedding celebration.

The wedding ceremony was at the First Baptist Church of Greenville, MS.

After the ceremony guests entered The Greenville Country Club through doors adorned with hydrangea wreaths to be greeted by butler passed trays of hors d'oeuvres along with an array of selected wines.

The entry was filled with cherry blossom trees and a beautiful floral arrangement filling a goldenvase. The candles filled the entry with two gold framed seating charts flanking the table.

The monogram on the seating chart was throughout the wedding. From the programs and reception signs, to the lighting and menus. Each seat was adorned with beautiful glassware and gold chargers, all atop custom gold toned linens and satin chair covers with coordinating ties.

The guests enjoyed a seated dinner starting with a salad with creole dressing, filet of beef tenderloin and shrimp, and ending with cheesecakes and wedding cake. The band started the music and everyone danced the night away!

After a long party, the guests tossed rose petals as the couple left in a white stretch limousine and each guest left with monogram white chocolate squares...a big hit!

Top 5 Wedding Day Tips...

Plan for Snacks

This should be a major priority for you. Your wedding party will be hungry, no matter what time of day, so plan on snacks and drinks. Have a friend responsible to bring the food, set it up and clean it up. It's the perfect job for a helpful aunt or family friend.

Make a "WOW" with Linens

It's the easiest bang for the buck. You can transform any room from standard white to your specific style. At a recent wedding we monogrammed chair covers for a reception with thebride's new initial.

Practice the Bustle

After "I do" everything happens so fast that people forget the importance of knowing the bustle by heart. Each dress is different and too many times we've resorted to safety pins so the bride could walk (and dance!) in her dress. Practice makes perfect!

Empty Cars

Make sure your family comes to the reception with empty cars. You will have to bring back candles, cake knives, presents, centerpieces...and you will need every inch of space!

Hire an Experienced Planner

A wedding planner has a variety of roles and allows you to not worry about the details-like when the wedding cake will be delivered, giving the band directions, calling the limo driver to update him on the departure time, etc., etc, etc. The services of a good planner allow you-and your family to fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

We've Moved!!

It's hard to believe we moved from the 'little red house' but we have. As sad as we were to leave, we had outgrown our office space and wanted to have all our event design items at the same location.

We found the perfect spot ~ Our new location is 290 Commerce Park Drive - Suite A, Ridgeland, MS 39157 (We are very near Freedom Ridge Park, Ridgeland Library and Ridgeland Police Department) We doubled our office space and now have warehouse space for all our decor items. What a super deal!! Now we have a great event planning office and can actually show you design elements instead of looking at pictures!!

Give us a call and we'll help you create the wedding of your dreams!
