LUXE for LESS: Crystal Tree Centerpieces

Since the Real Housewives of Orange County season a few years back, the crystal tree craze has become a new staple in weddings and creating a focal point for dynamic decor. Crystal trees are pretty expensive items to have someone else make just based off the time it takes to make, BUT it is something that you can spend your own time to make and make it a fun project for you and your hubby - to - be, therefore are other ways that are more budget friendly for brides to have and still allow them to be glamourous ideas for the bride.

Here is the crystal tree that was in Brides magazine. Doesn't it look gorgeous? Here are the instructions to make the crystal tree:

1. Ethereal Decor sells faux reproduction and real Manzanita trees which are the base for the crystal tree centerpiece. Choose your tree, faux or real, in your color that you want.

2. You can either purchase individual crystals or the already strung crystal beads and string the beads.

This is a wonderful project. Try it out and let me know how it turns out.

Until next time...

Use a Professional or DIY???

With the onset of economic challenges for all people, there are more people who are deciding to have DIY (do-it-yourself) projects such as decor, invitations, thank yous, catering, photography, etc. by soliciting the talents of friends, family, and of course carving out time to do them yourself. Well, what is the difference between hiring a professional for your special events versus doing it yourself?

Well, there are many differences and benefits of hiring a professional. Specifically, that professional is an EXPERT in their field. For example, the team at ENVI Weddings & Special Events is the EXPERT in wedding and special event planning. We have had training and certification in all aspects of special events, both social and corporate. Therefore, we know what to do and how to avoid some major event mishaps. Secondly, if you choose not to use a professional, then your team of DIYs have to work during your special event. Your event should be a time where all of your friends, family, and yourself should be able to enjoy the festivities, not be on radar and man the ship to watch out for anything that may not run smoothly....that is why there are planners, coordinators, designers, florists, and photographers, to take that stress off of you and allow the pros to do what they do best!

Even though money may be tight is some areas, there are GREAT professionals who are budget friendly and can make your event blossom with the resources you have to work with. ENVI Weddings & Special Events specializes in providing solutions for the budget - friendly bride, the last minute party host, and the time conscious mom!

Until next time....

Different Name, Same Vibe

ENVI Consulting & Associates, Inc. has re-created to a new and improved look! We still operate with the same standards and have the same goals, but want to provide a definitive answer to our clients of ....what do you consult??? Weddings & Special Events! Therefore, we have changed our name from ENVI Consulting & Associates to ENVI Weddings & Special Event Planning.

With our ultra-chic and pleasantly posh feel, we provide an uber couture sense of glamour to our clients and their guests at ALL our events.

What is Damask?

For some reason, I have really started to love the antique look of Damask fabrics and accents. It is definately something that can spice up a wedding, add a bit of 'pop' to the decor and overall chic to the event.

An example of how damask looks is like this:


An example of how damask can be incorporated in event decor is:

Even though damask isn't necessarily a trend, it definitely is on the cusp of becoming the estilo del dia.

There are pros to adding damask to your event decor. If for nothing else it will look like you spent tons of time decorating, when with a little extra fabric, some votives, and long stem callas your decor is outstanding!

Until next time....

Ultra Chic for Less

So anybody who knows me, also knows that I absolutely LOVE Cherry Blossoms! They are gorgeous and my wedding is going to be a Cherry Blossomed theme. So, I was browsing around and today in my inbox came something that can incorporate Cherry Blossoms into one's wedding, add the chic that we girls all dream about, but don't break the pockets that the expensive Cherry Blossoms and Orchids will all do.


Cherry Blossom Velum Wine Glass Covers!

Yes....wine glass covers!

No....not to literally put over your wine glass, but to place a tealight in the glass and the vellum cover over it to create the ambiance and glamour of the Cherry Blossoms.


Aren't these just the cutest! They can be found on the Get Married shopping site in a pack of 24 for $30.

Until next time....happy shopping and wedding planning!


Eventfully Yours,

What's the skinny????

On your wedding day, it is sooo important to make sure that you are looking your absolute best. Some brides are just so ravishing on that day, from the hair, to the glow of their makeup, to the dress....all the way down to their toes! It's just beautiful. All brides are just absolutely gorgeous. It's just something about wedding days.

As much as I love weddings, it takes a lot for a bride to get to the point where they feel comfortable in that dress. Why is it that most brides, not all, but most, get into a physical crunch and have to find the need to hit the nearest Bally's or LA Fitness 4 times a week to get into that gorgeous Vera Wang or Christian Dior gown? However, they never stepped foot or cared to before? Well, some keep up with their personal training regimine while others realize that their soon to be hubby loved them the way they were and will continue to on that day of nuptials.

BUT....for those who still want to 'suck' in the aforementioned areas that need a little special attention, there are always Spanx. Spanx are a girls best friend! The best selling, body shaping wear for women on the planet. Spanx will suck in everything that needs to be sucked, everywhere it needs to be sucked, for as long as it needs to be sucked....got my drift?

So, if you don't have enough time to hit the gym and get that Coke Bottle shape that you have been longing for to get into that sheath gown that hugs at every point, then of course go to your local Nordy's, Bloomie's, Neiman's, Saks, or even Lane Bryant to name of few of the retailers that sell Spanx. You can also go online and check out the various collections and pick what you need!

Happy Valentine's Day!
