Eerie Halloween Wedding Ideas

With Halloween nearing, things are getting pretty spooky… but don’t let this trick you out of a fun, fall wedding! Planning a Halloween wedding is my dream job, and I hope one day I get to use these ideas in real life.

 

Collect goblets and candle holders from your local thrift store, then spray them with glossy black spray paint and use them as centerpieces! Layer four pieces of black licorice over glass rims to mimic spider legs. Black cala lilies make a great boo-quet! Use different monster photos on place cards. Add hanging votives to lit branches to create an eerie ambiance.

Creeping out the food table might be the most fun! Use dishes and candlesticks you already have around the house or rent some from us. These easy ideas are sure to put a smirk on guests face. Be creative with naming the items as well!

Put black crow stickers on small pumpkins for an easy centerpiece. Number tables by painting wooden numbers black and sticking them in a pumpkin. Okay - it's time for me to start decorating my house for Halloween now! Boos and Hisses! XOXO

Thank you for coming to the bridal show!

Details had a wonderful time meeting everyone at the fall bridal show and benefit. We are already looking forward to the spring!

Step Up Your Tailgate! SEC Style!

It’s time to step up your tailgate Aggies! SEC teams are famous for their lavish tailgates and Texas A&M should show that we can tailgate with the best of them. Here are some awesome ways to spice up your tailgate.

Toss out that plastic ware and upgrade to dinner plates, glassware and flatware. This is no typical drink station. A candelabra, mint juleps and glass pitcher make a statement. A crystal tent chandelier…I think so!

Love this Auburn tailgate! They cut a football field out of green paper as their table runner and used white porcelain serving trays to display the food. They also color coordinated the food with Auburn’s colors. Maroon chips anyone? Photo from Amy’s Party Ideas.

This cute display can adds fun to any serving table! Wrap brown paper around a tin can, draw or glue on football stitching and use it to hold silverware or straws.

Don’t forget the most important part of the tailgate – the food! Southern Living’s SEC Tailgating Cookbook has great recipes cherished by many legendary SEC teams. Also, check out these team-inspired tailgating dishes.

If you’re too busy, let Details Party Rental handle all the tailgate preparation for you! Our Tailgate Packages will ensure you get a good spot on game day.

Gourmet Grill-Out Party

We love this gourmet grill-out party posted by Hostess with the Mostess. The event works perfect for any backyard and uses stuff most people have laying around the house. Enjoy!

Party Detals as told by Meredith...
Recently, I was asked to design an upscale grill-out party for the Downtown South Bend Board of Directors as a “thank you” for all of their service and support. The event was held on Saturday, June 16th at a private residence and about 40 people were in attendance. The host wanted to be able to mix and mingle and engage in conversation with each member, not having to worry about standing at the grill so we worked with Chic Eats Catering to take traditional grilled foods and put a gourmet twist on them! It was lovely!

DECOR

For decor, we started with a cool, summer aqua and orange color palette with some darker turquoise accents, tied off with twine. We then used assorted, seasonal orange potted arrangements in mini galvanized buckets and scattered them throughout for an additional pop of color. Chalkboards were a fun method of signage directing guests and also thanking them with “thank you” notes on each flower arrangement on the tables. My favorite decoration of all were the miniature Weber grills scattered throughout, which made for great elevation on the tables, as well as functional storage space for food and floral arrangements. We also fanned large grill tools out of a wicker urn, which provided a nice tie-in to the grill theme.

MENU

For the main menu, we served Petite Peppered Beef Tenderloin Sandwiches with Balsamic Onions & Blue Cheese Horseradish Spread, Tangy Pulled Chicken BBQ, Mini 4 Cheese Mac-n-Cheese, Roasted Asparagus Potato Salad and Asian Crunch Cole Slaw. Delicious! Dessert items included mini strawberry shortcake parfaits, mini oreo cheesecakes and chocolate truffle pops, but had to be moved inside due to abnormally high temps outside! Drink items included Orange-Infused Water, Iced Tea, an assortment of beers, wine and an easy-to-make Orange Citron Cocktail.

PAPER

For the paper goods, we started with a hand-delivered invitation tied to a root beer bottle with twine. Guests loved them and it was a clever way to get guests engaged with the idea! We then created a banner, which was strung in two directions above the food table. jar toppers for the favors, food tents and more.

FAVORS

For the favors, we wanted to send each guest home with something grill-related, something local and something from the downtown area so a local high-end Grill (LaSalle Grill) concocted a dry rub just for the party and provided a delicious recipe to go along with it. We packaged it in small, 4 oz jars with toppers that said “Spice up your next cookout on us!”

Beautiful Ranch Wedding

When Rebecca Sutherland married Adam Miller at Bogart's Casablanca on April 14th, every detail was perfect. Peacock Photography captured each magical moment!

Valerie Eissler, the couple's wedding coordinator, made sure the day ran smoothly as everyone began to get ready for the big day!

KDS Flowers arranged all the flowers. Breathtaking!

Before the ceremony, the couple shared the "first look!"

Wild flowers were the perfect backdrop for the outdoor ceremony!

After the ceremony, everyone moved to the Sutherland family ranch in Millican.

After a meal catered by Party Thyme, Rebecca and Adam cut the cake while guests danced the night way on a Details Party Rental dance floor. DJ L-Boogie was playing the tunes!

Congratulations to the happy couple!
