Design Theme

  • Pinterest - Black Circle

The overall Design Theme for the wedding is "Under the Sea," which is very fitting since the bride wanted to have the reception at an aquarium located on a river.  The color theme is cream, navy, and coral accents.  There will be a nautical and beach essence throughout the event as well with seashells, blue and purple lighting at the reception, and seashore candle center pieces.

Essay

The bride, Olive, reached out to Maroon Rose Events because she works full-time and didn't have time to plan and design the wedding of her dreams. According to her bridal client sheet she did have some ideas of what she wanted for her wedding: Olive wanted the ceremony at her church (St. Micheal's Lutheran Church) and a reception nearby, an indoor wedding in case of rain, room for about 150 guests, a beach theme because that is where her and her fiancee met.  She had a budget of about $45,000 and wanted the food to be memorable in a good way. She needed help with figuring out the best venue for her budget, finding a DJ, photographer, videographer, and florist.

 

Coral, Navy, and Cream are the colors that I was inspired with when thinking of the beach theme and the venue location of the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ.  The bride wanted to make her centerpieces, some flower arrangements, table numbers, and favors but didn't want to spend a lot of time or money of them.  Keeping guests entertained is important to the couple and having a unique, memorable experience. 

 

The day of the wedding the wedding planner will be on hand to make sure that everything runs smoothly.  Included in the emergency kit will be a sewing kit, all service personell numbers, necessary toiletries such as hairspray, nail polish, and make-up, and first aid kit.  

 

 

Budget

The budget is an approximation based on the bride's first choices and easy of availability.
