Fourth of July!

Wanted to take a moment to share some of the excitement that happened this past weekend here at Grand Volute.



SPARKLERS!


Our lovely couple chose to incorporate sparklers into the (outside portion!) of their reception! It was definitely a unique, relatively cheap, and very memorable aspect of their reception that made it truly memorable. :)

Last Minute Wedding Tips

Couples get married quickly for a variety of reasons-- family illness, military commitments, and, well, lets face it, excitement! This blog has some great tips on how to plan a wedding quickly! It would be great for the procrastinator couple, who is simply behind with their wedding planning. Check it out!

Happpy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of our lovely dad friends!! We want to focus today on the father's role in a wedding ceremony. Most brides choose to have their father's walk down the aisle-- in fact, most dream about that moment as much as they dream about kissing their new companion at the end of the service. Dad's are also invited into a father and daughter dance, during most receptions, and are also often to prepare a toast for the happy couple, as well. Those are all pretty typical ideas, however. What about some more unique roles that dad can play in the wedding experience? 

 

Many dads are simply waiting to be invited. Invite dad to help pick out cake, flowers, and invitations. Maybe he isn't so excited about those things? Invite him to help out with the groom's duties-- have him assist in picking out tuxes, his daughter's ring, and honeymoon destinations! 

Many men laugh at the fact that the father's duty is simply to simply suffer through giving his daughter away, but the fact of the matter is, that the "suffering" goes away, when he is included! Give him some jobs! He will love you for it (believe it or not!)

Outside DIY Wedding-- Chair Ribbons!

Planning an outdoors wedding for this summer, or perhaps next summer? We love this DIY tip from emmalinebride.com. 

Here at Grand Volute, we are able to host outdoor weddings, and will even provide the chairs for all of your guests. They're white chairs, and are classy by themselves, but, unfortunately, chair covers don't work well for them. But hold on a second! This is even better! 

Decorating each chair with coordinating ribbons really spices up the outdoor setting, and looks absolutely wonderful  when the wind blow a bit! They're easy-- simply loop them around the back of each chair, and ribbon can be SO cheap! Even cheaper than chair covers. :) 

Think about it!  

Wedding Dance! THRILLER.

Color!!

Now, I totally understand the appeal of having uniform colors for the bridal party, but this bride chose to allow her bridal party to express themselves a little more. She assigned a color to each person, and simply went with it! Each person had their own color, and that was that! Flowers? What ever color coordinates with their assigned color! Super fun, cheap (!!) and unique!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July from Grand Volute Ballrooms!!
Have a wonderful, safe weekend, filled with many laughs, friends, and family!

Welcome to June!

The flower of the month for June is the Rose-- such a classic! 

Not many people know that meaning of the rose, and exactly what makes it so special. 

The meaning of the rose is passionate love and beauty. 

Roses, as most people know, come in a variety of colors, so if you're considering roses for your wedding, you may want to consider the meaning behind each color rose. We'll help with this, below.

Red: "I love you!!" 

White: "I am worthy of you!" or "You are heavenly!"

Orange: "You are my secret love!"

Yellow: "I am not worthy of your love!"

Red and White together: "We are inseperable!"

Pink: "Please believe me!"

Now... you know! Let's celebrate June-- buy your sweetie a rose or two!
