Guest Blogger: Sasha from Sparkliatti, Part 1

Today we are lucky enough to have Sasha Souza of Sasha Souza Events stop by and share with us a little about wedding planning and some of her favorite weddings! Not only is she an incredibly creative event planner, but she also recently started her own blog, Sparkliatti, where she shares gorgeous photos and planning tips. If you haven't already, be sure to stop by and check it out.

Wedding Photos Tell the Tale

Sometimes you see a photo after the wedding that moves you and I can honestly say that is how I feel about two of the images on this collage.

The photo of the bride getting her last dusting of powder and the photo of the rain both make me feel different things. The photo of the bride is ethereal and I think it may be one of the single most beautiful images ever taken of a bride at one of our events. The photo of the rain makes my spleen hurt. With 40 mile an hour winds, rain on the INSIDE of our tents, 200 guests in a small ceremony room while it pours rain outside and only 10 hours to setup three tents and the wedding – this is a wedding that at the end of the day makes you wonder how EXACTLY you do the job.

But in the end, when you see the photos after the fact it makes you start to forget the nuts and bolts of putting together the party and live inside it all over again. With tones of ocean blue/purple/orchid green/cocoa brown the wedding turned out more spectacular than had we originally planned, more cozy, more intimate and much more special.


We strive for each event to be a personal reflection of our clients’ taste and style and this wedding was no exception right down to the tower of miniature chocolate bundt cakes served on green tea cookies, the amuse bouche of warm spiced butternut squash soup with crème fraiche, and the draped arbor over the head table – we will not repeat these together in the future because this wedding belonged to Sherry & Patrick.
