 The holiday was magical but truth be told we know that each time you opened one of those boxes, you were secretly hoping for the one thing that you were not sure that you would get. Trying to hide your disappointment, you remain aloof. It was easy to tell, something was up.

Just as the ball drops and the flood of text messages that wished “Happy New Year” began to seep into your IPhone you could hardly believe your eyes when the man of your dreams is in front of you on one knee. Of course you said yes! You might even want to scold him for making you wait. Family and friends in tow, you celebrated into the night. The next morning, still one questions lingers.

“What do I do now?”

Being a bride in 2016 isn’t easy but Event Kings has outlined 4 essential steps to ensure that you can have your wedding cake and eat it too.

1. Set a date

Everything and we mean everything for this wedding will depend on the date. That will be the first question that friends and family will ask. Once you have a date, or even two tentative dates you can move forward with the planning process. The things to consider when choosing a date are time proximity – how close or far away the date it from time you were engaged and seasonal preference. Considering the season is important because weather will also affect many aspects of the planning process.

  2. Do a guest count.

Get cozy with your mom and mother-in-law to be by sitting down and making a list of family and friends that are absolute must haves. If this doesn’t suit you, then sit down with your future hubby and brainstorm. Once you have these two numbers, move on to the most important step.

3. Call Event Kings @ 631.392.1234

Despite the shameless plug, you can trust us on this one. According to owner Terry Vogel who is a seasoned Event Coordinator, “Incorporating the skills of a team that is geared toward making a clients’ vision a reality, early on in the planning process pays off in dividends later on.” With most engagements lasting between 12 and 18 months your time is valuable.

Have a certain place in mind already? That’s perfect. Allowing Event Kings to build a relationship, or evoke an existing relationship with the perfect venue means that on the most important day of your life you will have a representative on site who is trained to work with the staff at your venue in order to provide an experience that is seamless. A confidential source from an exclusive North Shore venue admits “The presence of an Event Planner is always an asset for the venue. We truly want to provide guests with the type of experience that they want. To have that support team there, ready to relay the brides wishes, so that our staff does not have to disturb her during her special day a vital resource.”

Once you take this critical step, you will have the support you need to move into the next phase of the planning process.

Evergreen Gold

The Rustic Elegance of Evergreen and Gold perfectly translated for the Holidays

We’ve had enough of “hum-drum holiday”.  Believe me; it’s so easy to get caught in the trap. How does one create a Christmas that feels inspired in the midst of shelves full of outdated Elves and musty old Santas? At Event Kings, with our sister division, King Lily Floral we know how to capture the majesty of winter.

The trick is to choose items and decorations that evoke the comfort of the classic traditions that we all yearn for during the cold winter months and combine them with current trends. It’s an ability to combine the posh and polished with the simple and rustic. 

During the month of December, red and blue always seemed to be the go to shades. Jessica Ciardullo, owner and designer at King Lily Floral offers a new perspective, “My trend this year is green and gold. Especially green runners made from magnolia leaves, ruscus, seeded eucalyptus and evergreen.”

Even more perfect, is that the utilization of green – especially evergreen – provides a non-denominational holiday atmosphere. Everyone can recognize the beauty found in nature. These floral arrangements compliment winter perfectly, like quite little evergreens tucked away in a snowy forest. Strategically placed tea lights supply miniature glimmers of magic for guests to enjoy as they sparkle. Sumptuous runners cascade over the tables, imitating the lush winter forest of our favorite fairy tales.


Green makes a statement all on its own, but if you want to add accents that convey luxury, then gold is the way to go. Jessica explains, "Accents in gold add to the holiday glamour but with a modern feel." In other words, don't be afraid to shine. Gold is not gaudy when it is used as a well-placed accent. It's a shade that speaks to warmth and comfort, perfectly complimenting the lucious green landscape of a en elegant holiday party.

Vintage Chic Wedding- Flower Friday

Event Recap
Vintage Chic Wedding Floral
Event Kings & King Lily Floral 

Another Flower Friday Post!
A few weeks ago King Lily Floral did some amazing work for a friend's Wedding. The Bride was originally from Upstate NY, which helped shape the design of her wedding. The wedding had a Barn Glam/ Vintage Chic feel to it.


The Bride's Bouquet was made of Bright Pink Peonies, Billy Balls (Yellow) and Dusty Miller.
 
 
Instead of normal seating cards, the Bride & Groom decided to put all seating arrangements in a vintage looking picture frame. Accompanying the Seating Chart was the Guest Sign in Book. We brought in a splash of color with the small floral pieces and made a beautiful focal point.
 

Our Floral Designer and her Husband created this beautiful piece. Inspired by a Vintage Barn look, this wooden box held a hanging floral pomander below and glass bottles that spelled out LOVE on top. Each glass bottle held a flower that was used in the bouquets and centerpieces.

 
With the Bridesmaids dressed in Blue, it makes the bright colored bouquets really POP. The Bride wanted bright bouquets and especially centerpieces to brighten up the venue.






Simple white cake topped off with a few flowers



Instead of the traditional basket with flower petals, the four flower girls carried floral pomanders made of pink and cream mums. It was a refreshing change to the usual flower girl.
