Merry Monday: Fabric Draping

There are so many elements that go into creating an atmosphere for an event and one of our favorite's is fabric draping.

Fabric Draping above the dance floor is a wonderful focal point for an event, wonderful for photos, and adds that extra pop of color that is sometimes needed!                                                          

Adding chinese lanterns are a wonderful finishing touch for the right event!

Fabric draping is also the perfect way to add school colors to a graduation party in addition to weddings!

Merry Moments...

I can't begin to thank my team enough for all they do to make Merry Me such a success, but I thought I'd try to show them a little appreciation with a party, Merry Me style...

Carrie, of Chic Eats out did herself with the food she prepared for us. I wanted to show my team how much they mattered. They consistently create exceptional events. I wanted nothing less than exceptional for them. Chic Eats delivered. The selections were amazing and delicious.

and oh, I feel a SugaRush coming on... Thanks Megan for creating the perfect sweet tooth finish. The cake pops and cookies were delicious! Your artistic design was a great duplicate of the Merry Me signature.

It's fun to have a party for 'us' sometimes...

POW! BANG! ZAP!

Merry Monday: Bouquet Wraps

Fun ways to customize your bouquets for your big day!

From the romantic to the sublime, from the causal to the exotic. Here are a few ways you can customize your bouquet & your bridesmaids for your big day!

Bouquets are wrapped in cheerful fabrics and twine crossed around, plus colorful buttons to finish off the complete look!  

 Bling wrapped here and there or from head to toe, but both looks are gorgeous and add glam to this look! 

Bouquets wrapped with different ribbons and  with embellishments, adding added detail to the bouquet.

This warmer than usual weather was perfect for our Spring Garden themed booth at last weekend's WSBT Bridal Show at the Joyce at Notre Dame! Now we are ready for the smell of fresh cut grass and the rainbow of tulips popping up everywhere this spring! 

Brides waved their wedding Wish Wands that stated "It’s your Day – Wish the Merry Me Way" or "Wands Waved- Wishes Saved,  Merry Me Events." These were a huge hit among the brides. Loved seeing these in the brides hands all over the show!
