How To Plan A Glamorous Wedding

December 19, 2015 / no comments

Do you love pretty things? Is glam and extravagant your style? Then you will love the tips we have put together on how to achieve a glamorous wedding style that will leave your guests wanting more. As much as we love new trends, we love to look back on some wedding ideas that happened 50 years ago. Tie in the old and the new for a glamorous romantic vintage styled wedding.

  1. Serve champagne to your guests. Want to make a wow statement and double it as your focal point? Why not set up a champagne tower. It looks great and tastes even better. As much as the champagne can double as entertainment, have real entertainment for your guests for the cocktail hour or in between meals. Think, acrobats, live statue performance, belly dancers, drummers, live bands- the possibilities are endless.

2. Everyone by now should know that invitations really set the tone for your event. Make sure your wedding invitations reflects the type of event you are setting out to have. When your guests receive the invitation they should be able to tell how formal the wedding is by the type of paper you used, the font used to write the wording and the packaging (envelope in this case).  Your wedding planner and invitation specialist should be able to help determine this.

3. Table design! It’s all about the little details and how to make it work.  Nothing says glam like gold! Don’t over do your table. Touches of gold here and there will make your wedding look extremely elegant. A nice charger plate with gold rims, glassware and flatware that are gold and gold votive candles will do the trick.

For a more classy look, I would suggest using all white linens. This represents pure, clean and elegant. The accessories that you use to dress up the table will compliment and tie it all in. For chairs I would suggest renting white/gold chiavari chairs or ghost chairs.

4. Flowers and candles. Flowers and more flowers is the key to romantic glamorous wedding. Tall centrepieces is the key but low flowers on the table works just as well. A candlelit atmosphere will definitely set the intimate vibe for any wedding. Don’t be shy, use lots of candles. Ideally use different styles of candle holders to give depth and originality (some venues do not allow wedding candles, please ask)

5. Your wedding ballroom. With all your beautiful glam wedding decor you need a gorgeous elegant wedding ballroom room to go with it. A room that has details, crystal chandeliers and gorgeous window. Don’t limit your searches to only ballrooms, think museums, mansions, industrial wedding venues  and luxurious wedding venues. Read our blog on some awesome wedding venues in Ottawa.

A Beautiful Zambian and Canadian Wedding in Ottawa

December 6, 2015 / no comments

We had the pleasure of planning a beautiful Zambian and Canadian Wedding here in Ottawa this past September. Kay and Ryan were married at the Lady of Fatima Parish Church, a gorgeous Church located in Ottawa. Their fusion wedding displayed their love for their family and it was important to both Kay and Ryan to reflect traditional Cultural elements as part of the wedding.   The  beautifully decorated reception took place at the St Elias Banquet Hall located on Riverside were they enjoyed great food, amazing music and more drinks!

Thanks to Dominique from 3Stems Photography for capturing the amazing day!

Table set up with Wedding Menus

November 19, 2015 / no comments

I love the little touches that wedding menus bring to the table. They can be used as added wedding décor. I usually tell my clients that the menus are definitely optional and are not a must. They are definitely good to have!  The advantages of having a table menu is to let  your guests know what meals will be served, what is coming next after each course and sometimes the ingredient involved with a specific meal.

Here are some gorgeous menus for inspiration:

5 Alternative to a Candy or Dessert Bar

May 6, 2015 / no comments

The most popular wedding trends are still the candy or dessert tables. They are a perfect way to add the extra needed decor to your wedding reception and they also double as guest gift favours. Depending on how well they are styled and presented, they act as a focal point as well as an entertainment factor to your wedding guests. Candy and desserts stations are not the only options available for your guests. Here are a few of our favourite alternative options.

1. Ice cream or Frozen Yogurt Bar- Perfect for a really hot summer wedding!

2. Cookie Bar – Love this vintage, garden themed cookie bar!

Ann & Derrick- Engaged 07.20.2013

Ann says yes to Derrick! RSVP Events had so much fun planning this engagement party with this beautiful Italian family. Everyone was so involved in the planning process. I think we learnt some Italian while planning this beautiful day. With only less than two weeks left, Ann contacted us to plan the day that was important to her and her family. With little time in hand, RSVP worked hard to put together this gorgeous event that reflected the taste of both Ann & Derrick.  All 70 guests had a blast by the end of the night!
