Dripping in flowers, that is the main décor for a May Flowers garden wedding! We love the mix of vibrant and subdued flowers to create an elegant garden wedding! You can also incorporate pops of glam with chandeliers, vintage keys and sheer draping!

We are constantly asked by our clients, “What is appropriate when tipping vendors?”. While there are no hard and fast rules, and no vendor expects to receive a tip, it is always nice to give something to those vendors you worked closely with or who went the extra mile to ensure your perfect day!
Here are some basic ‘tips’ on tips!
Hairstylist/Make-up Artist: Tipping of the Hairstylist and Make-up Artist is expected and should be given at the end of your service. Typical tipping ranges 15-20% like in a normal hair solon.
Photographer/Videographer: It is not expected to tip your photographer or videographer, but if they do an exceptional job or don’t own the studio you can consider tipping $50-200 per vendor. This tip can be given at the end of the reception.
Wedding Ceremony Officiant: If your officiant is affiliated with a place of worship, it is always nice to give a donation to the organization; amounts rage from $100-$350. You may consider an optional tip of $50-100 for a nondenominational officiant. The Best Man can deliver the tip at the end of the rehearsal dinner on your behalf.
Wedding Reception Band or DJ: Tipping the musicians at your reception is completely optional; however, if you are really happy with the job they did and how closely they followed your playlist then consider $20-25 per musician, and for DJs $50-$150; this is given at the end of the reception.
Catering/Venue Coordinators: as is customary there is a standard 15-20% tip on the food and beverage fee; however, it is also very nice to tip the Catering Captain and Venue Coordinator for all of their assistance and execution of your perfect day as they do not receive part of the amount on your original catering bill. Amounts range from $100-$300 each, depending on their involvement and the amount of your final bill.
Wedding Transportation: Depending on your contract is it expected to tip the transportation as you would any limo or towncar driver.
Wedding Planners: Hopefully, your wedding planner has been your closest confidant and biggest fan through your wedding planning process. They have helped you plan every detail and offered the best advice from vendor selection to linen colors. They are usually the first ones to arrive and the last ones to leave and make it their sole purpose to produce your dream. If this is the case we think a tip is a nice gesture to say thank you! Take into consideration how many assistants/coordinators will be on site when tipping. If they are worthy, tips should start at $100 per person with more given to your lead planner.
Keep in mind a tip doesn’t have to be a monetary amount – a tip can be a gift certificate to a nice restaurant, a meaningful gift or a pedicure…if you really got to know your vendors and you have the perfect little something to thank them, go with your gut – a personal gift is always a nice gesture!
From all of us in the wedding industry, thank you for your business and your gratiuty! We are all very honored to be a part of someones Wedding Day (tip or no tip!).

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who made us strong; those women who nurtured us, cared for us, and shaped us into the person we are today. The mother’s who’s shoulders are strong enough for our woes and embraces warm enough to protect us from the world; with a laugh infectious enough to make the world smile and a love steady enough to be felt anywhere.
Happy Mother’s Day.
xoxo,

With the end of the school year right around the corner, what better way to celebrate your school time love than with a schoolyard wedding?! We love this wedding theme because of all of the creative elements than can be incorporated. The paper goods are simply to-die-for: mead notebook invites, paper airplane or cootie catcher programs, pencil save the dates, name tag escort cards, we could go on and on! Also engagement shoot and wedding party photos are adorable – shooting at your high school or college on a school bus or in a play ground, let your creativity fly! We adore milk and cookies or bake sale tables for late night snacks! To see how Intertwined Events did their School Yard Wedding click here!
