I found this cute etsy find of these garland banners that made me smile.

 

They also have cute banners for birthdays, holidays and weddings!

 
 

buttons

This was one of my favorite details from one of my favorite weddings a few years back.

 

Oh how Lauren & Barrett's wedding still makes me smile!! It truly was so "them" in every way.

And I loved how they personalized each guests escort card by not only naming the tables with past pets names--yes they had that many past pets--big time animal lovers- love that about them! But they also added a fun detail of the buttons to each guests escort card. Guests LOVED it! It was fun how everyone was checking out each others buttons and it was a great conversation starter too!

You too can create fun details like this with cute buttons like these below pre-made buttons from Wacky Buttons.

or you can create custom buttons on Wacky Buttons too. 

Or get some stunning custom graphic designed ones like these below featured on Bird & Banner- LOVE!

 

Love these too- fun button sets like these below from Button Empire on Etsy.

One Fine Day is more than happy to help you with your escort card needs too--printing available with a quick turnaround! We'll even attach the buttons for you!

Hope you have a great day!

WOW Event

This past January we were thrilled to attend the WOW Event here in Lexington. We got to meet, greet and hear some of our very favorite wedding professionals speak-- Tara Guerard, Janie Medley and Elizabeth Messina. Each one had such amazing tips and trends to share with us in the wedding professional world!

Below is a photo of One Fine Day's Mackenzie & Lindsay with Tara Guerard, amazing event designer and owner of Soiree Events in Charleston, South Carolina. We LOVE her work and she was so inspiring to us! Also below is a photo from her website of a beautiful wedding that she did.

Below One Fine Day's Mackenzie and Lindsay are with Janie Medley of the very popular The Bride's Cafe. We LOVE reading all her blog posts! Janie is a floral designer and owner of Jamie Medley Flora Design in Richmond, Virginia.  Also below is a photo of her amazing work.

 

Unfortunately we didn't get a photo "with" the lovely Elizabeth Messina - who is an extraordinary photographer in Santa Monica, California and wonderfully nice. Please be sure to visit her blog-another fave of ours to follow - Kiss the Groom! Featured below is some of her gorgeous work.

We would love if they would come back to visit the Bluegrass again soon! Let us know how much you love them and follow their inspiring blogs too!

flower girls

Have a flower girl that might not toss those rose petals as delicately as you would like? A flower girl can add a true sense of adorability and there are other alternatives to carrying a basket with petals! One Fine Day suggests having your flower girl carry a flower pomander, a floral covered pail, or a floral wand. The girls will love it and it might make their trip down the aisle a little easier (especially if they are very young!)

Thanks to Alexan Events and Bridal Buds for sharing such great ideas!

spring is in the air

 
When I think of Spring I automatically think of beautiful flowers! If you want to be a little eco-friendly on your wedding day consider using fresh flowers as your centerpieces or as a favor to your guests! They are sure to make your tables look beautiful on your wedding day and your gardens look great for the rest of the year!  One Fine Day is here to help with more eco-friendly ideas for your big day!

 We are excited that Spring is in the air and wanted to let you know that we will be available on a limited basis until April 4th as we enjoy some holiday time with our families. So, thank you for your patience as we might have a slower response time- but we'll get back to you as quickly as possible after we come in from trips to the zoo, bike rides and all sorts of fun Spring activities! Hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful time of year as well!

Wedding signs are a great way to personalize your wedding and keep your guests in the right direction! This super cute sign is a great way to add a personal touch and can be kept as a keepsake for years to come! Whether your ceremony be inside or outdoors, signs can be used at the entrance to the ceremony or to add finishing touches to your indoor decor!

Happy Friday from One Fine Day!

{ABC mini-conference}

Last month we were excited to attend the ABC Mini-Conference in Louisville. For those of you that are not familiar, ABC stands for Association of Bridal Consultants - a wonderful organization that we are honored to be a part of! The meeting was held at the Hyatt Regency Louisville and they took great care of us there! Our favorite highlight of the mini-conference was getting the chance to see the fabulous Lovelynn Jensen of Showorks in Tampa, Florida! She taught a session during the conference - 'Creating Impactful Environments for Every Bride' where we learned lots and lots of useful tips and we have already been able to use some of them! Aside from work, we got to enjoy a lovely, fun dinner at Rivue Restaurant and got to show Lovelynn the fantastic view of Louisville from their revolving dining room which is on the 25th floor! So excited that our dear friend, Melanie Mauer got to share the night with us as well.. Such a wonderful weekend that we will never forget!

Always love the sweet treat cart at Rivue!
