A: A gourmet stir-fry station is a hit because guests get to customize - they choose the ingredients, and the chef cooks it on the spot. Late in the party, try serving miniature bottles of old fashioned sodas from small claw-foot bathtubs filled with ice. Anything that reminds people of the past makes them happy, and the setup is interactive.
Q: What are the hottest new party colours?
A: Cantaloupe and terra-cotta, or coral and gray together; you get the silvery feel with the coral to lighten it. Slate blue, mint and cafe au lait is another fresh combination – subdued, but not earthy. Gold and copper are definitely making a comeback.

A: Most often, the bride and groom are joined by either their attendants with their dates, or by immediate family members. The head table may accommodate as few as eight or as many as 24 people, so it can be as intimate or as lively as you like.
Q: Do groomsmen typically serve as ushers at the ceremony?
A:The groomsmen often do act as ushers, escorting guests to their seats before the ceremony. But you may have ushers in addition to groomsmen if you would like to give additional friends or family members roles in the wedding. If you elect to have both ushers and groomsmen, the ushers may wear a less formal variation of the groomsmen’s attire.
Q: Can you suggest elegant, non-floral centerpieces for our reception?
A: How about vintage glass bowls filled with fruit, or long wooden trays scattered with seashells and candles. Potted herbs offer the natural look of flowers and are incredibly fragrant. Achieve a very simple yet sophisticated style with clustered candles on silver trays; each arrangement will look beautiful on its own, and the tray will magnify the glow of the candlelight.

A: Introduce your logo on save-the-dates and invitations. At the wedding, use it i n a few carefully chosen places, like on your aisle runner or on the ribbon around your bouquet, then consider adding it to unique elements like iced sugar cookies or wishing cards (in lieu of a guest book).
Q: I am keeping my last name. How should my husband and I be introduced at the reception?
A: Your emcee may announce you using your first names only, saying something like, “And now, for the bride and groom, Jane and John,” or “And now, for the first time as husband and wife, John and Jane.” The most important thing is to alert the emcee or your planner to the fact that you have decided to not change your name so they will not assume you should be introduced as Mr. and Mrs. John Smith.
