A Friday Night in June | Tara Guérard Soirée

Just a little sneak peek from our June rehearsal dinner… can’t wait to have wedding photos for you soon!

the colors were fresh crisp green and cobalt, which were so fun and unexpected for this time of year, but worked! The Groom is an avid photographer and in law school, so Ashley Bakery combined those two personalities into one cake! The Groom’s grandfather hand needlepointed monogrammed kneelers for their ceremony.

The menus and place cards were combined into a fun piece called Cootie Catchers (you know the game that tells you who you will marry, where you will live, etc. from your school days)… they were a huge hit- not so easy on the design/layout end but loved the final result.

“Girls Gone Mild” at their bachelorette parties- we had a bride recently who went to a local pet shelter to play with the animals, then went to a dance lesson with her girls, and finished the evening at a cooking class where they dined on the meal they prepared afterwards… love it!

A “Beer Bar” rehearsal dinner…great bubbles, wine tastings, and speciality cocktails have been long time staples at weddings. Why not have fun and mix it up at the casual party the night before and select several of your favorite Local or Craft Brews and offer a sampling to guests. Here are some suggestions from New York Weddings. You can of course have fun with custom labels!

Let the groomsmen have a personality… If bridesmaids get to pick dresses in varying colors or necklines, why not the groomsmen? Especially when you can get these amazing bow ties from Forage via The Curiosity Shop.
