Photography: Be sure you have allocated enough time before and after your ceremony so you are relaxed and not rushed for photos. ~ EVERY ELEGANT DETAIL everyelegantdetail.com
STYLE: There is definitely a return from the rustic vintage look to more formal and classic celebrations. Couples are celebrating in city style! ~ WISH SOCIAL EVENTS wishsocialevents.com
Haute Head: For inspiring African American hair, don’t be afraid to spice it up for your wedding! Choose from gorgeous weaved-in lengthy locks to natural styles or traditional African braids. Add in a beautiful exotic flower to accentuate your beauty. ~ BRIDEVINE & BRANCHES bridevineandbranches.com
Photography: Be sure to have a list of important images to capture; get a great photographer that fits your personality; and most importantly enjoy your day and the photos will follow suit. ~ AMAZÁE SPECIAL EVENTS amazaespecialevents.com
There are differences between the services a coordinator, planner, stylist and event designer provide, so make sure you know what each company offers. It’s really important to get along with the planner you hire as you will be spending a lot of time with them. ~ VERY MERRY EVENTS verymerryevents.com
Décor: I love incorporating unexpected table shapes; mix king’s tables with square and round tables. You can even alternate different linens with each shape. ~ EVERY ELEGANT DETAIL everyelegantdetail.com
WEDDING COLORS: If you want a more modern and edgy vibe, jewel tones are my favorite for evening. If you’re feeling sexy, add some black lace. ~ WISH SOCIAL EVENTS wishsocialevents.com
