I'll admit that I am no fashion expert, nor do I explore more than 3 colors at a time for myself. Someones mom once said that any 3 colors match and I took that to heart. Needless to say, I am a 3-color kind of girl, but when our team heard about the fashion show for Dell Children's CBCC Fashion Show, we had to participate! 2017 marks the 3rd year that we will support the sweet kiddos as they bring their A-Game to the Runway! Checkout some of the awesome photos from www.zappysprings.com! If you would like to participate with us, we would be delighted to have you!

Have you ever wondered why some wedding receptions are a blast and other receptions are just so whack? I would love to share with you information that one of my favorite DJ's, Kyle Clark. Better known as, DJ Motivate shared with me about keeping your guests on the dance floor! Maybe it will help you out when it is time for you to make a decision about your big day! 

The biggest key to keeping your wedding guests on the dance floor is... 

YOU! 

That could sound really silly, but the truth of the matter is you have a room full of people who know you and/or your fiance. Not that the random people at the table that they got stuck with because they RSVP'd at the last minute are bad, but they still don't necessarily know each other like that. Or better yet, how much more do you really want to sit with co-workers whom you spend 40+ hours per week just trying to get through already? 

Keep in mind that people came to your wedding to celebrate you and your spouse. If they can't find you, it makes it really hard for people to just get down and boogie without you! 

Events Unleashed Pro-Tips: 
1. Slip some comfortable shoes under your seat before your wedding reception so that you can change into something comfortable discreetly. 
2. Stay hydrated. 
3. Cool it down a few extra degrees in your wedding venue before the music cranks up. 
4. Ask your DJ to start the party with your favorites to help you turn up!  
5. Get those photos and formalities out of the way early! There is no bigger buzz kill than stopping the party mid-way through with everyone on the dance floor to stick to a timeline that no one knows about anyway.
6. TRUST the professional. When your DJ asks for 10 songs, give him 10 songs not 92 that are all over the place that don't allow them to create and get in a zone! 
7. Bottoms up. There is no better courage than liquid courage for those who have two left feet. 
8. Be carefree! It is your day and you should totally enjoy it! 

It's like second nature for our team to think through things like this for you on your special day! Let us know if we can serve you in any way! Contact us by clicking here. 

​Let me start by clarifying, Pinterest is great, we all love Pinterest, but there is cause for great concern when your whole wedding is planned from someone else’s vision for their special day.

• You are unique.
• You are gifted.
• There is no one else that is exactly like you.

*Work It!*
 
Just like you, your big day should reflect your uniqueness, your gifts, your passions and your personal story!
Many women have dreamt big dreams for quite some time and it is easy to get caught up in a Pinterest Fairytale wedding, but when reality sets in of how much those flowers actually cost or what it really takes to upgrade to those fantastic chairs, linens, extended guest count, etc. it’s easy to spiral down the road of not enough.
 
Not enough money, not enough time, not enough whatever! Stop, just stop. Breathe.
 
Take out a blank piece of paper and for Pete’s sake dream again!

• What is your favorite flower?
• What is your favorite color?
• What smells make you happy?
• What time of day are you the happiest?
• What did you always think that your wedding would look like or feel like?
• What is the most important aspect of your wedding day?
• What things are unique to you and just “bae” that you would want to share with the friends and family?
• If you were to look back at photos 20 years from now, what would actually matter?

 
So, darling…
Get inspiration all day from Pinterest, but please stay true to yourself! 

P.S. Mr. and Mrs. McBride's wedding pre-setup is shown above. If they shared that they wanted black and white stripes with pink and gold, someone could have said no way, but we said oh yes! Let's make it work and it did! Checkout more wedding photos in the gallery!
