A new year...

We have had a busy end of 2008 with some very memorable weddings. Here are a couple of those weddings. On our myspace we have been updating a slideshow with our recent weddings and we try to keep things current - if you would like to visit our myspace you can view all the beautiful weddings. http://www.myspace.com/weddingsinthesmokies

Everlasting Memories looks forward to all the memories we will share with our couples this year. We also look forward to the new color schemes, the styles and of course the happy moments!!

What a busy month!!

What a busy month February has been! Valentine's Day especially. We have enjoyed the weddings and the special moments we shared with our couples.

February has been a month of red and white. I do hope to be able to share with you some of our recent weddings from this month soon.

A Few Spring Colors

We enjoy the colors of spring...check out these choices by David's Bridal:

Dresses Part Five

Hello, it's Elizabeth the Asst. We haven't been around here for a few days. I am continuing the dresses blog and here is a Maggie Sottero dress for you to enjoy. The one to the right is called Krystal. Maggie has many incredible dresses http://www.maggiesottero.com/ for you to see. Her dresses look expensive without the price tag.

The green bridesmaid dress is by Jenny Yoo. http://www.jennyyoo.com/ It's JYCC-130 Evelyn. It's a beautiful gown in such a pretty green. We haven't had anyone use this color green yet, but I find it so beautiful. I'll have more dresses soon.

Dresses Part Four

It's Elizabeth, the Asst.

I love Demetrios gowns. I love all of their collections. The first one on the left is from the Illusions collection (#3107) and the second is from Ultra Sophisticates (#1358).

Demetrios has so many amazing gowns, and also sells flowergirl dresses and prom dresses. http://www.demetriosbride.com/

Another designer with incredible gowns is Claire Pettibone. Her gowns have a larger price tag, but they have a very ethereal feel to them. I love the flowy feeling to many of her dresses.

The one on the right is called Juliet. You can visit her site here: http://www.clairepettibone.com She also sells beautiful lingerie.

Still to come are Maggie Sottero dresses and a few by Vera Wang.

Wedding Locations

Some of you may or may not have given thought to wedding location....but it is very important in your wedding planning! It pretty much comes down to indoor locations or outdoor locations. Both have their pros and cons...but both can certainly be lovely! Indoor locations might be a church, a wedding chapel, your parents living room, a hotel, a cabin in the mountains, a condo at the beach. Any of these can be great for a ceremony, with wedding chapels already pre-decorated, and churches and other locations where you might have to only add a few things to "fluff" out the decorations. Outdoor locations are subject to weather, but if you plan for that and keep the time of year in mind for your wedding date (and the time of day when you live in the south for those late afternoon thundershowers in the summer months!), you can also have a wonderful wedding outdoors! Plan, plan, plan.....or have someone professional do it for you! Such as us!!
