Hey y’all! We thought we would start the week of right with some highlights from the Engage!12 conference we attended last week! The gals at Engage always know how to throw a fab conference at this go round was no exception! The best of the biz gathered at the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas, NV.

Loved this modern design on the wall as you enter the hotel!

The views of the mountains were pretty spectacular!

We were greeted with beautiful swag bags and immediately began mingling with the other attendees.

Little piece of flair from the swag bags

Guests all penned their names on the giant sign-in walls!

We spent 3 days listening to incredibly gifted speakers and learned so much!! Tara was also one of the guest speakers.

Of course, we did manage to squeeze in a little pool time. It is Vegas after all!

 

The whole event was capped off with a super gala! Of course our good friend Liz Banfield was there snapping photos as we danced through the night!! Stay tuned to the Bon Bon Blog for her pictures coming soon!

Added bonus, they are offering 20% off orders of $100 or more on all orders through tomorrow so jump on this deal quickly!

The Pisces Dress is a great staple for any summer wardrobe

 

Who doesn’t need a perfect bandeau bikini for the beach?? This “Coachella” set is adorable!

Our signature Soiree color is orange, so we just love the Pinking Shears Tote!

 

This fab chartreuse bracelet would dress up a classic all white outfit.

Hey Y’all! Hope you all had an amazing long weekend!

We are in our downtown Charleston office today anxiously watching the skies to see what Tropical Storm Beryl might bring us. Like all coastal communities, Charlestonians are acutely aware that hurricane season officially begins June 1st. What does that mean for wedding planners? Well, you make sure you are prepared, of course!

If you are doing an outdoor ceremony, you must have a back up plan. We always keep a tent on rain reserve just in case of inclimate weather. if your tent is walking distance away from your venue, you make also want to  keep some walkway tents on rain reserve as well so that your guests don’t get wet traveling to and from! We also make sure to have plenty of umbrellas on hand for guests and bridal party alike.

Ultimately,weather is the one wedding factor you can’t control! If you think a little rain on your big day would bring you to tears, you may want to consider hosting your soiree completely indoors. If you still go for outdoors, then keep these tips in mind and you will be singing in the rain! And don’t worry, umbrella pictures are still so cute! Check these out from one of our past weddings if you don’t believe us!
