Box Centerpiece

Box Centerpieces

Wooden Box Centerpiece

When it comes to your receptions thinking outside of the box may actually mean choosing a box centerpiece for your reception tables. For big square tables you really do need to have an over-sized centerpiece to make a statement – without it being so tall that you can’t see the person sitting across the table from you. The above box centerpiece was truly amazing in real life, it was whether resistant and simply worked fabulously for a tropical outdoor event. A custom box centerpiece can be designed to suit your wedding colors/theme. First Class Weddings preferred vendor on this one is Mandy Grace from Bella Grace Flowers. Great job Mandy!

Beach Weddings

April 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Beach WeddingsBeach Weddings

In Hawaii the beaches are absolutely stunning, which makes getting married on the beach a dream come true for some couples. What you don’t know is that in Hawaii, special permits are required in order to have beach weddings and you have to hire a wedding planner to get the permit (unless you want to pay for a million dollar liability policy that lists the State of Hawaii as a beneficiary), and then go through the application process solely on your own.

Beach permit fees range from about $50 to $300 depending on the size of space you need on the beach (this includes you, your guests and all your vendors). There are also restrictions on decor that you will need to take under consideration so paying a little more for a planner to help you achieve this dream is way worth it.

Some other things that you  may not want to hear about beach weddings in Hawaii is that they offer limited privacy, there are no back up options in the event of inclement weather, and your restroom options are very limited.  However, if you know all of these things and are still up for a Hawaiian Beach Wedding then please email us and we will be happy to guide and assist you, every step of the way.

The Wedding Dress

Gowns with straps, no straps, one shouldered, raw-edge chiffon, lavish bodices, Paris couture and sweeping trains, with so many choices how does one decide?

Some brides have visions of the perfect wedding dress when they are a teenager. Others, wait until they are officially engaged to even think about it. Either way, the wedding dress should be breath-taking. Therefore, shopping to find the perfect dress should be an event in itself.

Grab your girlfriends, mom or anyone special and create a fun filled day of shopping for the wedding dress. To get your mouth watering check out the spring 2011 collections of some of our favorites.

 WEDDINGS IN HAWAII

We here at First Class Weddings (FCW) are eager to help guide you through all the stages of the wedding planning process. However, there are some decisions that you must make on your own before we can help you.

Decision 1: Make a final decision on where your destination wedding will be.

You can spend countless hours researching the web and weighing your options ahead of time. To better help you, one site that First Class Weddings finds extremely helpful for clients considering weddings in Hawaii is www.gohawaii.com. This site will provide you with information on the seven Hawaiian islands and what each of them have to offer. Another site for those of you that may be considering France is www.hautewedding.co.uk. This site is great if you’re looking for a European adventure. Finally, if you’re wanting to get married in the Rocky Mountains we suggest www.coloradoweddings.com.

Whatever location that you’re dreaming of it is important that you decide on a destination location first and focus your attention on this decision as your FIRST priority. This will save you TONS of time and literally add years to your life. Also, we hope that your decision does not rely on finding a wedding planner to help you first, but rather on the amazing destination itself.

Once you decide on a location then you can begin seriously looking for someone to guide and assist you in the State/area that  you have selected. First Class Weddings can then help you determine who will warrant your time and attention in the wedding industry. Keep checking back for the launch of our exclusive directory of qualified professionals.
