A lovely thank you!

 

A lovely little note from a past bride whose flowers are actually my timeline photo. She was married in the Jewel Box during a tornado warning! She was cool as a cucumber. She’s laughing in the attached photo because the sirens had just started, as she and her father were about to walk!

We all survived and the sun came out after- that made for some very pretty pictures! Her wedding was one of the best that I’ve planned and designed. Really beautiful and such a fun family to work with.

Hi Rachel-

I hope this email finds you well. Just wanted to say hello and thank you again for being the best wedding planner a gal could ask for!

Crazy that 3 years ago we got married during one wild storm! But thankfully marriage has been a breeze :)

I hope all is well with you and your family! I was sure lucky to find Lucky You!

best,
L.C.

Personalizing Your Ceremony

By Lucille Jenneman, Intern at Lucky You Productions

Every wedding is unique in its own way; whether it’s personalized vows, special readings, or family traditions. I was lucky enough to attend the wedding of one of my family members where they made their ceremony personal and memorable in a variety of ways. The bride was born in Brazil and chose to say her vows in Portuguese and English. The location of the ceremony was the very same place where the groom’s parents had been married, over 25 years prior.

There are various ways in which a ceremony can be made to fit each couple’s personalities. Here is a list of some of the more popular ways to personalize your ceremony.

  1. Write your own vows.
  2. Have one of your poems read during the ceremony.
  3. Mention a memory you have shared with your partner during your vows.
  4. Have your favorite song play as you and your partner exit the ceremony site.
  5. Incorporate a part of your ethnic heritage. Ex: Jumping over a broom, or breaking a glass mirror.

Wall Ball 2013

Lucky You coordinated Wall Ball for the Saint Louis Open Studio and Gallery. This was our 8 year with the event and we had a blast work with Lori and Nick! The event featured more than 30 local artists creating live art! Wall Ball was a complete success, breaking fundraising and attendance records.  Here’s what our wonderful friends/clients at SCOSaG had to say!  (See images below.)

Rachel,

On behalf of the Board, Nick and myself, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for SCOSaG and Wall Ball. Wall Ball is what it is because of your support and dedication.

I would also personally like to say how much I enjoyed working with you. You have always been great to work with. I hope you will accept this small token of appreciation because it is sent with sincerest wishes for your continued support.

Lori Allen, Executive Director
Saint Louis City Open Studio and Gallery

Coordinated by Lucky You Productions, this beautiful wedding took place at Graham Chapel on the Washington Univiersity Campus.  During the ceremony, each mother gave a touching speech to the couple. There wasn’t a dry eye in the Chapel!

The stunning (non-tradional) wedding dress is an original design and the flowers, by Wildflowers, were a perfect match.  Officiated by the Bride’s Brother, the ceremony included a mix of traditional and Jewish wedding customs.

Held in the fall, at the Chase Park Plaza, the wedding design featured hard and soft elements featuring wood and baby’s breath. A mix of square and round tables added diversity to the room.  Lenny Klinger’s Galaxy Band kept the dance floor full the entire night with the Hora being a highlight of the evening! Mazel tov to the happy couple!

PS: More images of the reception to come!

Lucky Luck Vegas Inspired Wedding Reception


Lucky You had the honor to design and coordinate this fantastic wedding reception. Married in Las Vegas, the couple wanted to infuse their reception with their trip!  Here’s what the happy couple had to say:

Rachel,

We just wanted to say thanks for all your help with our reception. Everything was perfect! I would have been a crazy person and I highly doubt I would have had half as fun if you weren’t there. You are very good at what you do!

L and D (Happy Couple)

Pop! Goes the Color!

By Amanda Schoenbaum, Lucky You Intern
with assistance from Rachel McCalla, Weddings and Events Director

The tradition of a bride wearing all white is definitely changing. Adding a pop of color to the dress, shoes, makeup can be exciting, unique and make a statement.

Adding color to your dress can be done in a variety easy changeable ways. For example, adding a vibrant colored tulle under the dress will add a fun element to your pictures. Images by weddingelegancesd.com

 

 

 

 

Another popular way to add color is with a fabric sash or flowers.  More and more brides are staying traditional at the ceremony and then “jazzing” it up at the reception. This is a great way to add color and style without breaking the budget!

Picking shoes with a pop of color is an easy way to keep in the tradition of wearing a white dress. In today’s market, shoe color is limitless! However, most brides stick with their color scheme while others decide on blue shoes to represent their something blue.  Super cute!

Playing with makeup can be a beautiful and exciting way to add drama to their look. Make up artists we like are Amanda Willson, Michael Shed, Tami Scott, D’Shannon Llewellyn.  Please see our vendor page for more info.

 

Adding color to the veil will accent your hair and face with color with committing to ultra-vibrant make-up (which isn’t for everyone).  Perfect for your entrance at the reception!  Image by WantThatWedding.com.

With brides looking for ways to personalize their weddings, adding pops of color is an easy, effortless way to incorporate your style!
