When must I finalize my final details?

Colors:  We recommend for you to pick out your colors as soon as you have your parties dresses ordered and finalized.  We usually recommend two to three months before the event.  The main reason why we recommend this, is because your color can change a few times before you finalize the dresses. We recommend to have in mind your accent color combined with your dress color. Once you have your color picked out, we can set up an appointment to go through the bow, chair covers, and napkin choices.  We have 3 different colors of chair covers: white, black and ivory.  We have thirty different color bows. If there is a color that you would like to be custom made there will be an additional fee.  We also have elegant embroidered bows for an additional fee of .50 per chair.  We have table runners in silk, or an elegant swirl pattern for 5.00 per table available.  We can also rent table overlays in a variety of materials and colors.  They vary in price from 5.00 - 17.00 per table. Overlays make the tables look chic and elegant.

Centerpieces:  We have a free centerpiece rental which is a tall eifel tower clear vase with a combination of white and ivory flowers. We offer tall white candelabras with crystals that we can rent for $7.00 per table with candles only or $14.00 per table with flowers of your color and candles.  You are also welcomed to bring in your own centerpiece if you would prefer.  We do allow rose petals and votive candles. 

Table Setup: We recommend that we get a final count at least 10 - 14 days before the event. At that time we will have a meeting to go over the seating chart.  In our meeting we will go over the head table, cake and gift table setup.  We would like to know if you are having a band or a DJ or both.  Also we would like to know if you are having a photographer, and if he's having a backdrop.  We do recommend assigned seating. We setup a table in the hallway for your assigned seating place cards . 

Final Count: We recommend the final count 10 - 14 days before the event. Please, consider if you are going to have the vendors included in your final count. If not, we can do cash bar for the DJ, band members, video and photographer.
