Are Wedding Websites Dead?

Short Answer NO, if you do it right

What’s the point in a wedding website? I already have so much to do!


Yes I HEAR you but creating a wedding website where your guest can go to answer their questions INSTEAD of coming to you will relieve so much pressure off you (& your momma!) I once had a teacher in Highschool whose response to every questions we asked him was “check the syllabus” — think of your wedding website as your wedding day syllabus, when a guests asks a question ask them to check the wedding website and come back to you if they have further questions! PLUS you can have your guests RSVP on your website so you don’t have to keep track of all the little RSVP papers that come your way!


SO what should you include in your wedding website?


MUST HAVES:

-Wedding Day Info


     -Date, Time, & Location of Ceremony

     -Date, Time, & Location of Cocktail Hour

     -Date, Time, & Location of Reception


-Wedding Day Q&A


     -When should guests arrive?

     -Where should guests park?

     -What should guests wear?

     -Do guests get a plus one?

     -Will there be transportation?


-Wedding Weekend Activities


     -If you are having a welcome party, pre-wedding dinner (different from a rehearsal dinner), wedding brunch or any other festivities the week/weekend of the wedding make sure to add this to your wedding website. 


-Travel Info


     -Hotel Block/Accommodations

     -Airport Info (If needed)

     -Rental Car Info (If needed)

        **If needed, as in if you are having a destination wedding or your guests are primarily out of town


-RSVP


     -Online RSVP’s are SO much easier & quicker than paper for both you and your guests. I definitely suggest adding a QR code to your invitations that directs guests to your website where they can RSVP online


-Your wedding email so your guests can email you any questions they may have!


-Your Registry


CAN HAVES:

-Your Story

-Proposal & Engagement Photos

-Things to do around your city

-Wedding Party

-If you are asking your guests to wear a specific style or color, think about adding a few inspo photos, ideas, or shops to your website

Adele & Blake's Nancy Meyer's Wedding Celebration

January 8, 2024
Design & Vibe: When Adele and I first met she told me she wanted a 1950’s Nancy Meyer’s wedding. She wanted black and white modern with a touch of that old money vintage style feel. This was music to my ears let me tell you! The wedding was held at the old Muehlbach hotel ballroom, the old wing of the Marriott hotel in downtown KC. With this being an older venue it was perfect for that old money vintage feel. Guests were transferred into a 1950’s wedding day as they entered the black and white penny tiled ballroom with dark deep wooden walls and pillars as Frank Sinatra played throughout the space. One of the many things Adele and I have in common is our love for Taylor Swift, as the guests entered they were greeted with a gold vintage mirror seating chart with the lyrics “ and at every table I’ll save you a seat” hand written by one of her amazing bridesmaids! As for our table design Adele went with mostly white florals with pops of light blue mixed in. A mix of tall and short arrangements gave dimension to an already stunning room!! Gold chivari chairs were brought in to add to the vintage feel & of course we made sure all tables had votive candles to add to the romantic feel of the ballroom.

St. Louis Children's Hospital Table Top Event

May 2, 2023
Each year the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Foundation puts on a luncheon to thank the community for all their support and donations to the hospital’s programs. Each year the organization reaches out to local designers to create a table top design for the luncheon. This year the theme for the luncheon was “childhood memories” & designers are allowed to design any table top that goes along with that theme! I created an ISpy table scape based off the famous ISpy books! As you may remember, ISpy books all had different themes so I chose to do an outdoor theme- kind of as a 2nd theme for the childhood memories since I grew up playing outside with my neighborhood friends every day! Check out my table below captured by the lovely Maggie Adams ! (& don't forget to keep an eye out for the Arkansas tribute;))
