Creating a romantic sweetheart table

Oh the sweetheart table, it’s the place you and your spouse will enjoy your first meal as husband and wife and a very special and romantic start to your lives, so get ready for some glass clinking. It’s a little different in that it is a more intimate setting because it’s just you and your husband rather than the whole bridal party. Though like any other part of your wedding, the sweetheart table deserves much attention.  It’s very important because it’s where you will be seated for part of the night while enjoying great food and entertainment, so decorations are a must. The main thing to remember when choosing how to decorate your sweetheart table is that you want it to stand out from all other tables in the room. No one should forget that you two are the VIPs for the day.

So first, the location is important as you want to be able to see all your guests and for them to see you, so front and center facing all your loved ones is best. Second, to make your table stand out use things like a different colored table cloth, a slightly different or more extravagant arrangement, or a beautiful backdrop such as billowy linens or scenery to name a few. Also it is becoming popular to add a banner across the table front, names or initials on the back of chairs, or other ways to personalize your table. These are a few amazing pictures that we’ve chosen as good examples of our suggestions, like the beautiful flower décor on the back of the chair. As well as the country style wood bride and groom chair labels; we think these are amazingly creative ideas and would make great additions to your sweetheart table. Are you planning to have a sweetheart table, how will you make yours stand out?

Little White Wedding Dresses

Nothing is more stunning in a wedding than the perfect white wedding dress, but after hours of wearing that long gown it can really start to take a toll on you. Coming into the reception hall with a new, lighter, and more casual dress is such an exciting thing to do, and will really show everyone that it is time to party! It’s also a great way to preserve that special purchase that you will want to keep the rest of your life, because on your wedding day you should not be worrying about spills or marks. With this fun non-traditional trend, you can really enjoy your wedding to the fullest. It will allow you to dance and mingle more freely. A second option that might be more dramatic would be to have this change of wardrobe in the middle of the reception rather than at the beginning. Here are some of our picks for short reception dresses that wow. In addition to the reception dress options, don't forget a great statement dress for the rehearsal dinner too. And we just love these H&M dresses from their Garden Collection.

Vintage Meets Rustic for a Glam Wedding Look


We love seeing a touch of vintage here at Deanie Michelle Events, and vintage combined with rustic can really bring your wedding decorations over the top.  It’s a great way to incorporate a vintage yet natural feel to your wedding. Browns and neutrals with an accent color mixed in can give your wedding décor that extra touch while still keeping with the rustic-vintage combo theme.
