Part 3: Be Inspired......The Great Gatsby

Good day friends! For the third part of our "Gatsby" inspired series we bring you the real-life inspiration board that NSE prepared for Alex & Matt's July wedding. From start to finish, this is truly one of our favorite boards we've ever done and we can't wait to bring it to life. We'll be sure to share the professional photos from Angela Kissell Photography after the big day!

Part 2: Be Inspired....The Great Gatsby

Holy Great Gatsby!  Have you lovelies out there seen the The Great Gatsby by Baz Luhrman starring Leonardo DiCaprio & Carey Mulligan? If not, then NSE highly recommends you stop and drop everything and head to the nearest theater. Event specialists, Mariah and Sharron, made this movie a Mother's Day Event and LOVED it. The opulence....the glamour...the music..not to mention the great story telling made this movie a must see.

And wouldn't you know...we even have a "Gatsby-themed" wedding already in the works for this July at one of our favorite locations!
Bluefin Bay



We can't wait to transform the resort into a weekend-getaway of Gatsby proportions for Alex & Matt's wedding. Their guests will enjoy a lakeside ceremony reminiscent of the view from Gatsby's home, followed by a Garden Party featuring shrimp cocktail, champagne, and lots and lots of pearls! We'll then invite the guests to put on their dancing shoes for a Speak-Easy style cocktail reception. A photo booth with period-style props will capture the guests in all of their revelry. Oh what fun!

Stay tuned for Alex & Matt's full inspiration board in Part 3: Be Inspired.....The Great Gatsby. We'll leave you today with one of our favorite quotes from the movie!

Part 1: Be Inspired........The Great Gatsby

Trend alert: The Great Gatsby is back and better than ever! Popping up everywhere, inspiration from the 1920's is all the rage and NSE can't get enough!

We LOVED designing the perfect inspiration board for a "Gatsby-inspired" Wedding...layers of pearls, flapper dresses, and headpieces add a touch of the 1920's to any occasion.  Pastel Colors of Blush and Champagne, alongside bold stripes, geometric prints, and motifs emulate the innocent but sophisticated look of the Art Deco age.

Wouldn't the bouquet we did for Amy & Michael's wedding last
Fall be a perfect fit? Any chance to do a bouquet like this again and we will take it!

And this gorgeous jewelry, shot by Leslie from Falon Photography would fit in perfectly too!

And doesn't this quote from Jay Gatsby pretty much sum it all up? The true love he felt for Daisy is what we hope for all of our couples!

Stay tuned for more The Great Gatsby inspiration and to find out what we thought of the film!

Tenacity, Fortitude, Resolve = Success

What do you get when a team of  amazing Women get together with a boat load of inspiration and determination?  Well, Team NSE is more than happy to Show and Tell.  NSE Team had a Dream.  A dream to create a space to help Today's Bride and Groom host a Wedding that is
Over the Moon.......

A whole lot of work and a whole lot of fun............NSE Event Specialist's have been working  for the last two months to get ready for a May 1 Reveal of the "Vault"  At times it seemed like an impossible task, but defeat was not an option.  With great Tenacity, Fortitude, and Resolve, NSE was proud to host a Party in their new Wedding Workshop and Showroom last night.

          Team NSE hard at work with projects and crafts.  Kathy and Mariah showed us skills that they didn't even know they had.  Kathy was rock'in the skill saw to transform a junk chair into a show piece.  

Sometimes less is more but not when we are talking about Tulle.........The Sky is the Limit.......Even our lampshade has a Tulle TuTu....

..Adorbs..........

Team player Lisa could not have been more excited to add "Vault Cleaner" to her already extensive resume' 

"Love is Sweet"......... yes and so is Candy.........and who doesn't love a Candy Bar.........

Fleurtation creates once again........but this time in their new home......

Cheers! to all who helped us make this event a success.  We could not have done it without the help of some very special Wedding Vendors.  We feel so lucky to have such great people to work with and want to extend a warm and heartfelt Thank you to all who helped create this successful Evening.
