Clementine's Top 5 Tips

1. Create a "Look" 

One of the best ways to create a "look" is to focus on the season of your event. You don't have to go overboard here, but it is an excellent way to tie everything together from menu to décor to personal style. It's also a great way to stay on top of the budget. Using items that are in season are often more cost effective.

2. Specialize the menu 

Clementine has extensive experience with menu development. We will talk with your caterer to create the perfect menu for your special event. We always recommend finding a few ways to incorporate some personal favorites into the menu. For example, if you got engaged in Italy it would be fun to serve an Italian inspired course with dinner or some fun Italian mini sweets.

3. Just try it on

My biggest suggestion with fashion is to try on everything! Many brides end up selecting a gown they never thought would look good on them or be their style. Have an open mind. Another great idea, take some time to be alone with the dress on. It is very easy to allow yourself to get swayed by your friend's/mother's opinion. Make sure YOU love the dress.

4. Personalize that syle 

If you stay true to your personal style, your event will be a huge success. Your guests have attended many weddings and events over the years and personal style is the best way for guests to remember your wedding. The goal is for your guests to walk into your reception and instantly think of the two of you!  You want every single detail to reflect you as a couple.

5. Have Fun

This is a party after all. Clementine will help you feel comfortable with every single aspect of the event, and leave you to enjoy yourself. If you find yourself trying to micro-manage the little stuff, take a deep breath and remember Clementine has it covered.
