Good morning!
Welcome to 2012. If you’re a 2012 bride you’re probably well into your planning and design of your wedding. If not, get a move on it girl! (ha, ha)
So in your planning and designing process, what did you do? Are you relying on images and pictures from well known magazines, like the Knot, Get Married, Brides, or a local wedding magazines? Or has Google become your best friend with hours spent searching for you colors in images? Do you have an image in your head from when you were a little girl that you just knew is exactly what you wanted? Do you watch endless episodes of David Tutera’s My Fair Wedding, I Do Over! or Bridezilla for inspiration? Or did you hire a professional, florist, designer, planner, to realize you thoughts into an unforgettable event?
I WANT to hear from you, what you’re doing to make your designer day spectacular?
For me, inspiration comes in many shapes and sizes and often from unexpected things. Do you have a favorite picture in your house? A favorite scarf, rug, book or movie? Of course we are all familiar with how our favorite colors become inspiration for our weddings, hence the bride’s favorite color is almost always one in the color choices for the wedding.
So, try incorporating things in your life that you LOVE to guarantee your day is as special as you are!

Welcome Back
It’s been a while…

But we’re back!
I feel like it’s been forever since we last talked, but I’ve had my hands full this last year with our newest and CUTEST addition to the Full Circle Eventi family – Alec-Xavier Vincent. In other words, this year was very busy prepping for baby, including a Full Circle Eventi worthy baby shower! (no worries, I’ll be sure to post up our cultural-style baby shower soon!)
As the new year rolls around, I’ve been reflecting on the past year and the changes we want to make. So I have a few New Year’s Resolutions to put into effect.
1. Get Fabulous. Find fabulous, feisty and fun inspiration for any cultural wedding or event you are designing. From reception and ceremony decor, centerpieces and invitations, to dresses and shoes, I’ll be sure to scour the web for the best and brightest flair for all you culturally fabulous brides!
2. Get Connected. I am also very interested to hear from you and how your wedding planning is going.I want to know what will help you along your wedding planning and designing journey. Let’s design your fabulous wedding together with color and inspiration palettes requested by you and imagined by our design team.
3. Get Inspired. I am passionate about designing and one of the best ways to share that with you is through design imagination and inspiration boards. I’ve let that slide in the past, concentrating on other things, but its time to get back to what I do best! Let the designing begin!
With the 2012 upon us, I’m inspired by the traditions of night and the birth of the New Year! When I think of New Year, I think about baby new year and baby soft shades of pink peach and blush comes to mind. But don’t forget the bubbly and festivity of another fabulous new year’s necessity – Champagne!! So happy new year and let’s make it a super fabulous one!!

{Ceremony Couture} | Ring Warming Ceremony
Now the first time I read this, I thought, really…you want to heat up my ring. Is that like a branding thing. Then the rings are permanent part of my body regardless of me wearing it or not. But of course, that was just my crazy brain having a bit of fun. This is actually a new ceremony introduced out in California y Eric Schwartz. Kudoos to Style Unvieled for asking what everyone was up to on the illustrious 10.10.10 wedding day this year and finding this little nugget!
From Officiant Eric Schwartz:
You are planning your wedding and want to include a unique feature during the ceremony. What do you choose: a unity candle, blending of the sand, rose ceremony? How about a Ring Warming ceremony. Never heard of it? Most people haven’t. Incorporating non-traditional elements into your ceremony can not only make it even more memorable for you and your guests, but also keep everyone’s attention.
Before you say your vows and exchange your rings, the wedding officiant will ask everyone, including your wedding party to participate in a ring warming. Your officiant will explain to everyone that the ring warming is an opportunity to send the bride and groom good luck and love through a silent wish to the rings when passed to them.
It is a great idea to have one or two people in your wedding party help out with the process of moving the rings from row to row of your guests. Make sure to have the rings in a box or tied together as you don’t want them to get lost.
At the end of the ring warming, your rings are brought back up to the best man or maid of honor until the exchange of rings. If you have less than forty guests, it is possible to do this in less than ten minutes with music playing in the background. (15 seconds per person)
If you have a lot of guests, you may want to consider continuing with the ceremony while your rings are moving. This can be a time for you and the groom to talk to each other and watch the guests. It is a lot of fun and will definitely make your guests talk about your wedding the next day.
We love this idea! Could it work for your ceremony? Are you doing something else new and unique? Share it with everyone in the comments!
