~Save the Date~

Save the Date

2 Daisies worked with Stephanie Pryor (graphics designer) to create this fabulous save the date.  We cannot wait to see the clients exprssion when they see the Invitation Ensemble design.

When working with our team we try and explain the importance of the save the date as well as creating a symbol of what is to come.  It is a useful tool to give potential guests information about your event and also create excitement for the event itself.  There are many options and styles to choose from.  Let your personality and style shine through and be creative and fun........elegant or traditional.  It's entirely up to the client.  We are excited to share more paper projects in the works!



"Oh, I love what I do!"

On a fairly frequent basis, we receive calls from potential clients who are really stuck with a smaller budget and cannot find resources or help in what they can do to have a wedding for let's say 80-100 people and only spend about $5,000.00.  "Can this be done?  Where do I start?".  Those questions echo through my phone....

The first thing that comes out of my mouth to these lovely people is "first off, I will not allow you to utilize a large portion of your dedicated budget to paying us a fee for our services!"  Our fee to plan a full service wedding will eat up quite a chunk of that savings....so, I do the right thing and I spend ten or fifteen minutes of my time, steering them toward a good path to start.  You can almost hear an exhale of relief come through the phone.  They listen earnestly and appreciate the information that is being delivered.

Every persons life situation is different and not every couple wants to have a large gala affair.  In what we do as Event Planners our first order of business is to protect our clients or even potential ones for that matter.  My heart is filled from the Thank yous of these people, I never meet or will ever become a part of their event.  I may have played some part in assuring them that if they are careful and look at the items that are most important to them, they can throw a killer party, reception and or wedding for under $5,000.00.  It's all about making choices which are important to you.   Here are some examples:

• Don't care about a full sit down dinner? Well then negotiate a luncheon or hors' dourves menu for your guests.
• Keep the guest list to a minimum and make your Food and Beverage bill more palatable to your wallet.
• Call on talented people in your life who instead of spending money on a gift for you can use their creative talents to help...Know a caterer?  A baker?  Ask for help:)
• Be cautious about the money pitfalls of throwing a large event outdoors on your property or your families...Generators, lighting, tents, tables and chairs can really eat up a good chunk of your budget.  There are definite cost savings in some areas of an at home reception but the to-do-list and work involved is something people should consider. 

Each person has their own reasons for getting married and they also have different takes on how to showcase that statement of love and commitment.  I may not have the correct answer for every persons need but we can tell them what has worked in the past and work towards a creative solution to a new problem. 

I loved having the conversation that I did yesterday with the future bride...My work is my passion and if I can help anyone in any way, I aim to do just that:)

It all about the details!

2 Daisies has been dreaming about having some fun with girly details and a classic take on shabby chic.  We love inspiration boards and magazines like everyone else but it takes courage and faith to step outside the box and really go super fresh and fun with pastels and accent items.  These are some great images captured by Tim Miller!  http://www.millersphotoshop.com/

Small terracota placecard design with vintage details, and green tick!

Fun and frilly candy display- Soft pastels, dots, cookies and cocunut cake looked divine!

Soft pinks, yellows, greens and white made this spring set-up so fun.

Fun ribbon can bring a very lightly colored bouquet to that next level.

Nothing say's spring like tulips!  Soft white mismatched doilies and awesome prints from the total table made these high tops stand out.

Fabric covered books and buttonswith accent ribbon gave this tasty cake plate with heart cookies a nice place to sit.

As planners and event designers we strive to be unique and different.  Mismatched place cards and paper covered clothespins completed my $3.00 find (YEP, you heard me righ!) We love to reuse what is readily available.  Converting an old schoolboard with paper did just the trick.

Layers, soft colors, pearl and buttons created a place card table design for a recent show. A pretty quilt can always find a home when using vintage details.
