Our wedding was spotted online by the publishers of Flower and they just loved the soft wintery feel of this event. It’s always so fun when a wedding is recognized on a national level!

The layout really shows the use of branding and how you can pull together the small touches to bring a big sparkle to an event.

A special thank you to all the vendors that made this wedding so special: Person & Killian Photography, Megan Chapin Calligraphy, Hampshire House, Jeri Solomon Florals and Cookie Creatives by Jennifer.

EFD Creative was honored to be asked by Bliss Celebrations Magazine to help with the planning and design of their holiday party at the Exchange Conference Center.

We were looking to develop a soft wintery scene, along with the creative talent of Tangerine Creations, birch trees, moss, twinkle lights in the branches and hanging from the ceiling, helped create the mystical feel. Add in the white textured fabric, special touches of snowflake name badges collaborated by Table Artistry and Megan Chapin Calligraphy and the look was complete.

DJ Raffi not only added in the holiday music, but the large moving pictures on the wall along with all the lighting…you had to see it in person to experience the energy it added to the party.

A big thank you goes to East Meets West Catering, desserts by Party Favors, Peterson Party Center, Rentals Unlimited, and of coarse Lauren Killian of Person and Killian Photography…thank you for allowing us to share the beauty of the night!

Thank you Amy Blau of Bliss Celebration Magazine for hosting a top notch event!
