              Metallics are surprisingly versatile, says New York City event-planning guru Harriette Rose Katz. “Depending on how and where you bring them into your celebration,” she says, “they can be elegant, whimsical, or very natural.” –Bridal Guide

            Be seated. “Couples are moving away from a reception layout based on large round tables, which has a tendency to feel too much like a conference event, and are instead opting for either very long, rectangular tables or a mix of long tables surrounded by smaller square and round tables — all for a more intimate vibe. “-  Bridal Guide

            His and hers cocktails. What better way to give your guests a glimpse of who you are than by serving them your favorite libations? Laesserkeck points out that this trend is not only easier on the budget (no more guesstimating for an open bar) but it’s an instant conversation starter.- Bridal Guide

            Naked cakes, which are unfrosted (or partially frosted) and simply adorned with berries or fresh flowers, are trending from coast to coast — and at both relaxed receptions and more formal affairs, says Nataly from the Great Dane Baking Company in Long Beach, California.-Bridal Guide

            Photos for days. Couples are booking PPA photographers for more than just the big day itself, hiring pros to capture the entire wedding weekend — sometimes even an entire week — with family and friends, to ensure the full-on experience is forever on film.-Bridal Guide

While brides tend to get lost in color schemes and fonts, one must never forget the importance of a well-respected and interactive DJ.

I can’t tell you how many weddings I’ve been to that are spectacular to “oh” and “ah” over, but completely lacked an involved and high-energy DJ. It is easy to underestimate the importance of an outgoing individual whose sole job is to make sure you and your guest have a memorable time and dance the night away.

AMP’D Entertainment has an indisputable track record of such. For months, I had been hearing just how fantastic they were that I finally had to see it for myself. After all, I’m such a stickler when it comes to the atmosphere of an event. I know a good time when I see one.

AMP’D Entertainment put on a special showcase at the Skylounge located in the Glenn Hotel and…well, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves:

DJ Mike Walsh makes spinning those 1’s and 2’s look easy. Don’t get me wrong, you wont find me behind that table. People can only take so much of my lip-syncing and bad dance moves. I’ll leave it to the professionals.

Those killer beats really had some guests reconsidering every Michael Jackson remix they’ve heard.

I cannot stress just how important an atmosphere is. Music, audience engagement and high energy can either make or break your event. While your floral arrangement may be to die for, that terrible remix of your favorite Billy Idol song and your DJ’s refusal to take requests will absolutely trump.

Make sure you and your guest leave only because last call was announced over an hour ago, but have yet to exit cause you’re really digging that never ending conga line.

The fellas at AMP’D Entertainment sure seem to know what they’re doing and they’re having too much fun in the process!

Your wedding photographer is responsible for the formal before-ceremony pictures, the sentimental candid moments and capturing the scenery and images of the venue. But what’s the best way to entertain the guests while also recording memories? A photobooth.

Photo booths provide guests with the opportunity to let out their wild, silly side at the reception, while you get to keep and share their photos! With a variety of backdrops and props for guests to utilize, the possibilities are endless.

One of our special vendors, Shutterbooth Atlanta, provides this experience for all kinds of events, including weddings! Shutterbooth helped us host our 2015 Summer Wedding Affair by setting up a unique booth for all of our guests and vendors to use. Check out the pictures below to see how much everyone enjoyed themselves in front of the crazy gold, sequin backdrop.

Shutterbooth offers the option of sharing your photos as single takes (as seen above), photostrips (as seen below), or even as fun, fast-moving GIF’s! Check out their website here to see how the Shutterbooth experience works!

You already booked the photographer, so do you really need to book a videographer as well? Aren’t the memories already being recorded and isn’t the money already being spent? Think again. Although having both photos and videos from your wedding may seem like a lot, you’ll never get tired of re-watching precious moments unfold.

One of our StudioWed Atlanta vendors, Bridges Cinema, creates “unique, timeless and emotional films” to perfectly capture your wedding day. Check out Lindsey and Luke’s beachy wedding below for a taste of Bridges’ film style.

Here’s what these experienced brides and grooms have to say about choosing to book a videographer for their special day…

“My husband and I watch our wedding video often and happily look back on the best day of our lives. Our video really brings us back to that moment and although our photos are beautiful, the video really captures the emotion of the day. Sandra and Will are very professional and truly great at what they do. We did a lot of research before we finally made the decision to go with them and we are so glad we did!” -Ashley via Wedding Wire

“DO IT!!!!! I promise you will not regret spending the money. You may not think you want to relive every minute, but after the day you have been meticulously planning for months flies by in what feels like seconds, you will be desperate for a way to remember it!” -rachaelj99 via the knot
