Wedding Wednesday: Notre Dame Trees

Ok, so this isn't exactly a wedding... but we were dying to share these trees and decor we designed and last week on the campus of Notre Dame. Be sure to check out the fabulous gift ideas offered at all Hammes Notre Dame Bookstores -Main Bookstore, The Varsity Shop at Purcell Pavilion , and The Hockey Shop at Compton Family Ice Arena.

  

nutcrackers... yes nutcrackers! a  must have collectors item.

Loved the vibrant colors we chose for each location...

The Hockey Tree

Being a former (high school) basketball player myself... this one is a nod to the ND lady Irish 

(I have a fondness for Skyler Diggins and love to watch her play!) Of course this is also the Men's Basketball tree!

Notre Dame Football...have you heard they're 10-0!

And we couldn't forget baseball and softball...

Go check it out! Great gift ideas... so make your list, check it twice and head to ND to shop!

Oh, and we're not done yet... we'll be on Eddy Street the week of November 26th to finish the Holiday Happenings Display and add some finishing touches to their holiday decor too! So be sure to mark your calendars for Dec. 1 for a visit to Eddy Street Commons!

Wedding Wednesday: Ashley & Eric, August 25, 2012

Above all Ashely and Eric wanted a wedding that was fun! Ashley and her mother own a candy store and wanted to incorporate candy into their wedding and what is more fun than candy?! We had such a fun time creating this event!

The ceremony was held at the Hilton Garden Inn Outdoor Courtyard. 

Following the ceremony the reception was held in the ballrooms at the Hilton Garden Inn. 

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ryan!

Merry Monday: Meet the Wedding Party

How fun is this idea from The knot? Post a photo of each member of the bridal party and tell how you met, why you chose them, and other fun facts. Then display them in a fun way at the reception. Would also be fun to have at the bridal shower!

Merry Monday!

Wedding Wednesday: Lighting

Wanted to share with you some photos of a wedding  we did a few months ago, to show what an impact lighting has on the overall feel of the event. 

Love the way the lighting really brought the whole room to life! We work with our go-to lighting company to achieve the overall atmosphere of the event! 

Venue: Century Center

Photographer: Katie Whitcomb

Lighting: Pro Show

Merry Monday: Monograms

We love the little details and one of our favorites is door Initials or Monograms, these are a great decor item that can be used at both the wedding and reception. One place we love these boxwood initials to be used is on the entry doors to the Church.

This is a fun Monogram as well and one that you can keep forever!

Whatever your style, this is a fun way to personalize your wedding even more, because remember, details matter. 

Merry Monday!
