A Wedding Style Guide For Males

Katy Zukas — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:28:35 +0000

The focus may be on the bride at a wedding, but that doesn’t mean the guys can’t show off their dapper looks too! Let’s face it: unlike brides most men do not like the idea of spending days, let alone hours, to find the perfect attire to wear at a wedding. This is a quick and simple guide that can help. One style for this winter season includes a classic combination of a black suit and tie. Others go for a more unconventional mismatched look with muted colors like greys, browns, and tans. Whether you attend a wedding or are one of the groomsmen, these looks are great style ideas for any male wedding guest to wear.

Vests are great for when the weather turns chilly.

Toms are a popular and comfortable alternative shoe choice!

La Tavola: Quality Linens at a Low Price

Katy Zukas — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 01:29:54 +0000

It’s easy to see beauty and take it at face value; but not everyone can see that high quality doesn’t have to come with a high price.

How is La Tavola able to beat the prices of several competing linen rental companies? Well, for starters, everything is done in-house – from the sewing to the washing to assembling of swatches. They actually have a 60,000 square foot warehouse that essentially functions as a magical little village creating fabulous linens. On top of that, the owners have a true passion for incredible fabric and they wanted to share the beauty with as many people as possible by making La Tavola’s linens as affordable as they could.

So, when you see something in the collection that strikes your fancy, let your imagination run wild, especially when you’re designing your event.

Happy linen shopping!

Trend Forecast for 2012: Lace is Everywhere

Katy Zukas — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:55:25 +0000

At Felici Events we make it a priority to follow the latest trends in event planning, and lace is quickly rising to the top of the list. Since her widely-publicized wedding to her sweetheart Prince William, Kate Middleton’s long-sleeved lace dress has inspired many brides to incorporate lace into their weddings. Brides are now repeating the pattern from their dress in their invitations and even their desserts! Whether it is seen in the wedding decor or on the bride herself, lace is sure to be a lasting trend for weddings of 2012.

Easy Social Media Lesson in 1 Minute

Sometimes visual aids can teach us much more than a week-long class.

At Felici Events, we think about working smarter, not harder, and then rewarding ourselves with a donut. Part of our corporate events, product launches, and nonprofit event-planning packages include social media for the client.

Star of David Inspiration for Bar Mitzvahs

Katy Zukas — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:45:33 +0000

This recurring Star of David motif was a great way to tie in a ‘light’ theme of one of our recent bar mitzvahs. This modern take on the star was not only featured on the man of the hour’s cake, but was repeated in the invitations, dinner menus and table numbers. A theme like this helps an event become more connected and adds fluidity. This subtle symbol is a great way to remind everyone at the gathering what a great time it is for this young man or woman; a time to celebrate the young adult’s coming-of age and first of many steps into maturity.

Cards and Star of David logo were created by Lazaro Press, who did an amazing job of bringing out the star shape amidst the existing circular pattern.

Christine Dahl of Christine Dahl Pastries paired the offset yellow Star of David with blue fondant on the outer layers of the cake. Between each layer of the three-tiered cake sat a transparent box filled with lights and shimmering sparkles.
