Wedding Season’s Not Over Y’all! Palm Springs Brides Gear Up for Fall

by

The summer months are over, and June brides seem like a distant memory considering all the work we’ve done since then.  But Wedding Season is not over in the Desert. We at My Little Flower Shop are gearing up. Starting our engines. Getting Ready, Set and, frankly, already Going! We’re busy bees, and parties and weddings are falling into place for Fall.  Autumn is an amazingly beautiful time of year to get married in Palm Springs and the surrounding area.  The Coachella Valley glows, and everyone is energized by the cooler weather’s arrival.

Our Fall weddings don’t conform to a “autumn leaves and acorns” type of decor.  In Palm Springs no one says “Oh you can’t do (insert wedding element/trend/color here) in the Fall”  We don’t do seasonal weddings – we just do RodJeffWed_547beautiful weddings. In every season. And with our beautiful weather, you’re not stuck with a Winter Wonderland motif just because it happens to be winter. Innovative color schemes, florals and menus that don’t scream AUTUMN abound. Or if you’re into that whole warm color leaf-peeper kind of vibe, we can put a hip spin on it and serve it up Palm Springs style.

So when you’re thinking about a wedding location in California, or the perfect spot for your destination wedding, we’re the vacation and event planning paradise you’re looking for.  And we’re waiting, at YOUR wedding’s starting line, with our best ideas percolating in our heads.  Let’s hear yours.  Give us a call!

There’ll Be Sad Songs to Make You Cry. For the Love of Billy Ocean, Not at the Reception!

by

A fellow planner friend relayed this recent recurring dream:

“I’m toddling happily around the cocktail hour holding the bride and grooms signature sloe gin fizz* and taking in the scene of a bustling reception getting off the ground.  The peppy Michael Bublé number tapers off and familiar slow piano chords kick in, filled with emotion.  Uh oh, It’s Billy Joel. My inner game of “name that tune” begins. Is it ‘Always a Woman?’  ‘And  So It Goes?’ Does it really matter? Let’s face it, Billy Joel, bless his heart, is the troubadour of the relationship train wreck.  Nightmare!”

Afraid of Billy Joel? Oh yes. A bummer song busting up your carefully orchestrated cocktail hour scene can really stick in the craw. Here’s the thing.  After the ceremony,  guests are on a high – they’ve just witnessed a glowing couple come floating back up a flower-bedecked aisle. If the wedding professionals have done our jobs we’ve created the atmosphere you dreamed up for your reception.  Flowers, food, drinks, lighting, music…it all combines to envelop a guest in your vision and keep that warm ‘what-an-amazing-couple’ buzz going.

So when all of a sudden the music devolves into a love gone wrong ballad, it’s like putting salt in a recipe instead of sugar.  The notes are pretty – but there’s just something off.  And off putting.  So leave those weepy tunes off the playlist.

Wedding tears are best kept for the ceremony, not for depressing cocktail hour music

A quote inspired  by Billy Ocean:  “There’ll be sad songs that will make you cry.  Love songs often do.  They can touch the heart of someone new and all that jazz – just let your DJ know you don’t want them played at the wedding.”

Need specifics for your Itunes jockey? Just feel like crying your eyes out? Check out this list.

As for our friend with the restless nights, maybe we’ll send her the MP3 of “Get Out of my Dreams (Get Into My Car).”

*note – boutique distillery gin is all the rage – start learning to talk snooty about juniper.
