We're pretty excited to share with you one of our sweet couples wedding film highlight, beautifully documented by Dakine Films!  Erika+Saul were such a joy to work with and I have to say there is a bitter sweetness every time I view the beautiful film highlight.  It is always sad when the wedding planning is over, but love that a beautiful friendship has fostered.  

We will share with you the gorgeous images captured breathtakingly by the amazing Joseph West, but for now, allow me to turn back the time to the beautiful and perfect "day to remember" of Erika+Saul...

A Look Back on 2013

{Video Credit:  A Day To Remember}

Hello 2014!

We are pretty excited to ring in the new year...the anticipation of what is to come, the new adventures, the new journeys and wonderful surprises 2014 has in store for us.  Many find the beginning of the year as a way to start a clean slate.  Well, I can't say we will start a clean slate, as we are so grateful for what 2013 brought us, but I can say I'm excited to set new goals!

Today, on the first day of 2014, we reflected back on the amazing couples who entrusted one of their most important moments of their lives to us.  It was such an honor to be a part of a wonderful experience and just thrilled we were able to create their perfect "day to remember"!

Take a look at this short vignette of our most memorable 2013 couples:

Happy 2014!  We wish each and everyone of you a blessed and prosperous year, filled with happiness, joy and undying excitement!  We're pretty excited to start the planning on our 2014 couples!

As you celebrate Thanksgiving this year, please take some time to reflect on the many blessings in your life. Remember to express gratitude, not just for the big things that have happened to you this year, but even for the little blessings...the simple things.  Many times, we tend to forget about the simple things that truly make us happy!

We want to take this time to thank all of our wonderful clients, our industry friends and most importantly our loved ones.  It is with your support and your love and trust, which allows us to continue to do what we do.  Thank you...thank you...thank you!

All of us at A Day To Remember will be observing the Thanksgiving holiday, so we will close our office today at 3:00 p.m. and will be back in the office on Tuesday, December 3rd.  We will have limited access to email and only priority emails will receive an immediate response.

Have a wonderful holiday!  Gobble Gobble Gobble!

{Wedding 101} The Revolution in Bridesmaid Dresses

{Written by Jessica Davis; Photo Credit:  Jessica Davis, Anahi Navarro Wedding Photography}

 

{We're excited to introduce the writings and musings of our newest addition to our DTR Family....Jessica Davis!  Please give her a warm welcome!}

 

Before I begin, I want to say how honored I am to be writing for “A Day to Remember’s” blog. I cannot express how excited I am to begin this new chapter as an intern and share some of the hottest topics encompassing the wedding industry with all of y’all! I hope these incoming blog posts help with creating your perfect day…a day to remember throughout the ages.
 

When I was younger, I discovered my parent’s wedding album in our study. Looking thru the pictures, I came across a photo that can only be described as eye-catching: my Mom’s bridesmaid dresses. My mom did something different that was not widely used back in the late 80s, early 90s: differentiating the maid and matron of honor from the rest of the bridesmaids. The maid and matron of honor donned fuchsia dresses in a polyester fabric that shined. Yes, shined! The dress had shoulder-length puffy sleeves with pleated pleats in the front. The other bridesmaids had the same exact dress, but in royal blue. To say that they stood out in a crowd would be an understatement. Their bridesmaid dresses were a “wear only once” kind of dress. No woman would want to wear that dress outside of that intended use.

 Years ago the main purpose of the bridesmaid dresses was to make the bride look amazing.  Further, brides did not have a lot of choices or selections when it came to bridesmaid dresses.  All of the emphasis was placed on the bride…her dress, veil, shoes etc.  Remember the movie “27 Dresses”? How any bride convinced her bridesmaids to wear those types of dresses is beyond me. Recently though bridesmaid dresses have made a complete revolution in style, design and use.

With designers such as Donna Morgan and Amsale, the movement is now going into a direction of highlighting the different body types women have today. Instead of bridesmaids dresses being unattractive they are now accentuating rather than hiding a woman’s figure. Case in point, who can forget the moment when Pipa Middleton wore that stunning white Alexander McQueen bridesmaid dress for Kate Middleton’s wedding?  Materials are a higher priority with chiffon, lace and silk being used more often in production. The end result is that women now are wearing their bridesmaid dresses to numerous social functions rather than just the intended use. Bridesmaid dresses are now becoming fashionable not only accenting the bride’s beauty but also the bridesmaids as well. I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief for future bridesmaid duties!
