Being on the rental side of the wedding industry, you really get to enjoy and learn all aspects of the business. You tend to work with every vendor involved to pull off these spectacular events.Our professionals build events from the ground up, literally! Starting with tents,flooring,tables,chairs,linens,decor,and almost anything else you could possibly need from a rental stand point.We also offer design servicces and setup.

With that being said let’s talk about the trends we see coming in 2012 from a Rental/Design stand point.

*GO NATURAL

The go green lifestyle is in right now .Everything from natural looking chairs,burlap,and even tree branches.

*BRIGHT COLORS

Don’t be afraid to mix a couple of vibrant colors.Bright hues are very popular,but be careful not to use too many! Pinks,greens,oranges,purples,reds,yellows, and blues will be popping up in 2012!

How we met….

In February 2011, just before Valentine’s Day, Kevin planned a skiing trip to Beech Mountain, NC where he rented a cabin for the weekend. When we arrived on Saturday, I had no idea what was about to happen. Because we love to take trips together, I assumed it was just another fun trip, and I was prepared for an adventure since we had never been skiing together. We spent the entire afternoon lounging around the cabin, talking, and just having an amazing time being together with no distractions. It was the perfect day.
Kevin made reservations that night at Jackalope’s View restaurant which has an incredible view of the slopes. As we got ready for dinner, I bundled up in my warmest clothes and slipped on a pair of tennis shoes before heading out the door. As I opened the door, Kevin grabbed my hand, and when I turned around, he was on his knee, telling me how much he loved me and how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. I said yes! And the rest is history…
On June 2, 2012 I will finally get to marry the man of my dreams! We are so excited to start our new life as husband and wife and to be married at the most beautiful venue in East Tennessee with all of our family and friends around us!

Our very own All Occasions Party Rentals will be a guest blogger

And we will feature the wedding of Sarah and James

Have a beautiful weekend!
