Movies We Love!

With the weather going from hot to cold, sunny to raining, we've had some time to look some of our favorite movies! There are so many movies out there with weddings as their central theme, making it almost a right of passage for every bride. Naturally almost every "wedding" movie is a romantic comedy, but some even have a place in the best movie category. 
My Big Fat Geek Wedding, for example, won lots of awards and gained global recognition! Both brides and grooms can enjoy this film!

The Wedding Signer is a typical Adam Sandler film with a romantic twist - very nostalgic. 

Our favorite: Father of the Bride - it's an AMAZING movie and I think made everyone tear up just a little - it also showcases how much weddings can cost and the stress in planning!

So go ahead, rent a wedding movie, indulge! - we won't tell

After months of planning, your big day has come and gone, and it’s now time to take your first vacation together as a married couple - your honeymoon. Maddy K Events + Weddings Atelier is including complimentary honeymoon planning services to all Maddy K clients. 

Couples can take advantage of complimentary honeymoon consultation and planning services with Sara Abbott, Maddy K’s exclusive honeymoon and destination wedding consultant. With over 6 years of experience, Sarah is able to plan your dream honeymoon anywhere in the world! 

“There are many reasons why a honeymoon is important” says Sara, “it’s a romantic get-a-way, and a trip where a couple can be alone for their first couple weeks of marriage.” 
We know it’s important to have a travel agent take care of all the little things before and during your honeymoon, and that’s why Maddy K is including free honeymoon planning services to all her clients! “When booking a big trip on your own there a lot stressful things to consider” says Sara, “things like which supplier is reliable, what documents are needed, and who the couple should contact if something goes wrong. With the stress of planning a wedding, a honeymoon shouldn’t be something a couple has to worry about as-well.” 

This exclusive service is offered to Maddy K clients only, so why not take advantage of this essential service courtesy of Maddy K Events + Weddings Atelier.


Eco-Chick just in time for Earth Day!

Eco-Chick is not only in this season, it’s here to stay! Do your part while planning and decorating your wedding by incorporating eco-friendly elements into the reception. With Earth Day on April 22nd isn’t now the best time to think green?

Our suggestions...
Lighting: Typically receptions are held at restaurants, reception halls, or even on patios. Ask the location if they’d be willing to exchange their lighting for candles. It’s romantic and really sets the mood as well as saves energy!
Wedding Favors: Think glass, aluminum, recycled paper, and even bamboo. We’ve found some great ideas online, like potted plants, votive candles with cinnamon or bamboo attached. All are recyclable and reusable!
Table settings.: We found these great place setting holders made of bamboo. You can really get creative with table settings, think rocks, or anything else for that matter!

Idea like these are fun, unique, and most importantly good for the environment!

Happy Earth-Day
