White Weddings and Parties

This week I asked everyone for some color ideas for my 2014 Vow Renewal Celebration.  When I got married, I knew what I wanted....how I wanted it and what color scheme I'd be using.  For my Renewal Celebration, I am starting early and with a clean slate.  I loved planning my wedding and I love helping others plan theirs.  But for this occasion, I want input....and I want lots of it!  I want to be influenced and I want to be inspired.  I'm even giving away $50 gift certificates for fabulous ideas!  My first gift certificate goes out to Ayasha T. from Florida!  She gave me three awesome theme ideas, and although I liked them all, the one I liked the most was "The White Party".  If you are not familiar with what that is, it is when everyone, all guests included, dress in white.  The decor and accents are white and there are many, many directions and additions to go with it!  So, I'm making it official.  The Vow Renewal Celebration will be a "White Party", now give me some great ideas to put it all together and make it sparkle!!  Romantic, chic, stylish and sexy....

Love the white furniture and bling I found on Love Your Place!

White flowers?  Endless possibilities indeed...

What is a White Party?
A White Party is a theme party where everyone wears ALL White.

The idea is that guests come dressed all in white, within a white environment, creating a sense of unity. There's always great music and the strong identification of the guests with each other and their surroundings has made the White Party one of the most popular entertainment events in the US today.

My Martha's Vineyard Wedding...

It's official, I just set a date for the renewal of my vows!  Every five years I "vowed" that I (or should I say we?") will renew our vows and have a celebration of love to keep the fire burning and celebrate with family, old and new friends...and well, it's also a great excuse for a party!  I can buy a new dress, switch up my colors, flowers, new trends and take lots of pictures along the way to share for a lifetime.  I may never do it as big as I did the first time (weddings can be expensive!) but I'll do it a different way each time, that I can guarantee.  As I start planning my June 2014 renewal party, I'll be sure to keep you posted and share all of my ideas and inspiration along the way.  Meanwhile...here's a little recap from my wedding day....along with the fabulous resources I was lucky enough to have!  My colors were Aqua (also my business color) white and chocolate brown.

Me and the love of my life...all photos by one of Martha's Vineyard's best photographers Nicole Friedler Photography!

Perhaps regarded as the most romantic Inn on Martha's Vineyard, I wouldn't have wanted to marry anywhere else!

Lambert's Cove Inn will always have a place in my heart.  Everyone awaiting my walk down the garden aisle.

The Jon Bates Band kept my entire guest list moving and shaking and smiling all day and night long.

Umbrellas, just for the girls....and just for the pictures, loved them!

Escort cards were attached to tiny branches in coffee beans....love me some coffee and they smelled heavenly!

My half eaten candy bar, which was also our wedding favors.  In Aqua, white and chocolate of course!

In love with these NAPKINS! One of my favorite elements for sure.  This table we named after our favorite show Seinfeld!

NOW what?  Now I have a lot of planning to do for my next celebration!!  And I want everyone's ideas and help!  I'll be making another "formal" announcement later, but what I want is everyone's input....ideas you love, pictures from your own wedding perhaps, a Pinterest pin that you adore, something out of a magazine...lots of inspiration for my Renewal Celebration!  I'm looking for all the details...colors, flowers, favors, stationary....you name it.  Every month from now until June 2014, I will be giving away a $50 gift certificate for services from a Wedding Studio vendor or any Martha's Vineyard business of my choice to ANYONE who makes a suggestion or gives an idea that I decide I WILL use for my next Big Day!  Just leave a message on my blog or on the Wedding Studio Facebook Page and email me your email address....that's it!  I'm so excited!! ~~  www.mvweddingstudio.com ~~
