SUMMER!

This weekend marks the official start of summer and we here at Perfect Pairings can't believe it's already here! But have no fear we are oh so excited for it!

To celebrate we are giving the blog a little makeover!

Sneak Peek!

We are very excited to be working with Taylor and Billy this summer! They are just the cutest couple and we are very excited to be doing their rehearsal dinner!

We were first contacted about doing the couples wedding in April when we were first introducing our boutique line. Excited, we got right to work dreaming up possibilities! The funny thing was we didn't have a color scheme. Not long after we started brain storming Taylor contacted us with her color scheme. Hold on to your seats... WE HAD CHOSEN THE EXACT SAME COLOR SCHEME!!

Crazy to think that just from a brief meeting about her wedding we could match her style so perfectly! Here is the inspiration board for the rehearsal dinner. Below are descriptions:

The couple wanted to create a shabby chic feel with lawn games and a sweet summery color pallet of sage green, light dusty rose pink, with accents of gray and champagne. (Excuse the photo quality!)

1. Glass window panes will act as a back drop for the food table. Window panes will offer sweet nothings to guest through quotes inscribed in the panes.

2. This beautiful floral arrangement demonstrates both the use of floral accents and the color scheme we will be using.

3. A fun life size checker board will stand in as one of the game stations!

4. The couple and guest will want to document every moment so why not add some flair! Fun props will allow the couple and their guest to get creative at a shabby chic photo booth!

5. Ladder Tennis and Croquet will also be a part of the yard games. Completed with shabby chic signs!

6. Staying with our shabby chic theme Perfect Pairings will transform mason jars into personalized center pieces. Complete with photos and votives. DIY's to come!

7. No buffet table is complete without a personalized banner! The dining table will commemorate the moment with a sweet “Mr. & Mrs.” banner to celebrate the couple.

8. Corn hole stands in as a casual treat to get guest mingling!

9. And no compellation of law games is complete without a little Bocce ball!

10. Rounding out the lawn games will be a combo volleyball and badminton court.

11. No table-scape is complete without custom labels for both food and beverage.

12. Tissue paper pom poms in the couples color pallet will top off the buffet table!

13. Bet you were wondering about that photo-booth! Here a printed linen sheet suspended from the trees will give the dinner a chic feel while making lots of memories.

14. Vintage frames in coordinating colors will house lawn game instructions as well as photos of the couple. Frames will be placed next to game stations as well as on buffet table and guest tables.

15. Vintage signs will be placed at the entrance to the venue as well as at game stations and the photo-booth.

In case that just wasn't enough here is one more sneak peek of the labels we will be using.

Stay tuned! More to come and a few DIY's are on the way!

Cinco De Mayo Reveal!

What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and the end of our Senior year of college than to combine a delicious nacho bar, virgin mixed drinks, games, and great friends! Our guests loved our assortment of tasty toppings to go with their nachos. We had everything from homemade guacamole and pico de gallo to some spicy hot jalapeño poppers. Add in a "make your own" virgin daiquiri bar and some festive music and you've got a party!

Enjoy some pictures from our night of chippin' and dippin' and daiquiri sippin'!

Guess how many Mexican Jumping Beans are in the jar and win a prize!
