Choosing an Event Planner can be a difficult task for any person planning an event. What questions do you ask? What skillset do you look for? What are "red flags" when interviewing service providers and vendors in the industry?
The Envi Consulting & Associates' Founder and Executive Event Designer, Morgan Nichole Scott, had the pleasure of being the guest on the Season Premier of I Do Radio, hosted by Rev. Angela Chester out of Long Beach, CA.
Topics of discussion included:
Difference between a Planner and a Coordinator / Directress
Easing the fears of Brides
Interviewing Event Planners
and more!

Cool Ice Cream Favors and Treats
Who knew that Dippin Dots sold ice cream??? These personal sized treat bags of Dippin' Dots ice cream can add an additional flair to any event. Having a cocktail hour prior to your reception? Well...go ahead! Spoil your dinner and serve your guests individual sized portions of Dippin' Dots ice cream and some other type of pastry like dessert. Tortes, donuts, eclairs, and even cake!
Also, you could use these as favors for your guests to leave home with instead. You can order these and see all the flavor selections at www.dippindots.com
Enjoy!

DIY: Table Decor and Centerpieces
We love, and I mean absolutely love, sharing easy, do-it-yourself tricks of the trade to save money! Money saving, budget crunching, and making sure it is also drop dead luxurious is the name of the game. Not only luxury, but Luxe...for less!
Today, the team at Envi has decided to talk about Do-It-Yourself Table Decor and Centerpieces and how to have the Luxe for Less wedding on a budget!
A major addition to the wedding, is the decor! It can be as minimal or as extravagant as you wish. Lots of flowers, candles, bows, chair covers, and more. The decor gives the tone and sets the mood of the rest of your event.
Flowers can be a costly expense, especially using fresh arrangements of ornate and different types of flowers. Not to mention if you want specific hues, sizes, or out of season florals. Your costs can get higher and higher.
We did a wedding a few weeks back, and we had planning time of about two months. With a budget of $5000 for about 60 guests, live flowers would have eaten up the budget. However, we found an already made, faux floral arrangement that was a semi-tall centerpiece. Ivory hydrangeas, limes, roses, and other types of flowers. This arrangement on the total of 8 tables could have easily cost over $100 per arrangement. However, we were able to buy the pre-made arrangement for $25 at Target. They fit in the color scheme of the wedding and helped save lots of money. Instead of paying close at least $800 for arrangements, we were able to get them all for $200....saving 75% for our bride to allocate $600 to other avenues.
