Check out some of our gorgeous linens on Sharayamauck Photography's blog for this stylized shoot of The Gallery Event Space with Eco-Posh Events (one of our favorite vendors)! LOVE it all! http://blog.sharayamauckphotography.com/

For this shoot, we used a taupe satin tablecloth for the guest tables and an eggplant crush shimmer overlay for the cake table.  Elegance and style definitely mix with this color combination to create a classy, modern look using style and elegance.

We at Elegant Design Events hear often about how amazing customers feel our prices are.  $2.35 a cover, including sash and set-up really is an amazing price!  Don't pay over $3.00 a cover when you can get high quality for a much better price!  Our chair covers are a polyester blend, made in the USA cover.  They are much nicer than the cheaper, standard polyester a lot of companies carry.

When you are shopping around for chair covers, make sure you find out if the quality you are getting is at the price you can afford.  Some companies will offer a price comparable to ours, but the quality is not going to be as good.  They will look drastically different on your chairs if you go with a cheaper quality cover.  In order to offer you the lower price, they give you their cheaper cover and you will notice a difference.  The fabric is much thinner and it wrinkles much easier.  Our high quality, SCUBA polyester covers are a nicer fabric, have a better feel, and will look much nicer on your chair, not to mention they are included at the price of $2.35!

Another important thing to pay attention to is color selection for your sashes.  We have over a hundred colors of sashes in organza and satin, and we carry David's Bridal colors!  If we don't have your color in our color selection, we will do our best to find it for you.  Our brides rave about our selection of sashes, in both organza and satin.  For $2.35 a cover you get to choose a satin or organza sash.  Specialty fabrics are also available for a small upgrade charge.  Some companies offer only 20, 30, or 40 colors.  Why pay for chair covers if the sash color you want isn't even an option?  100+ color options are included with the standard rental price!  That's an UNBEATABLE deal!

Dress up your chair covers with the new, rope embroidery sash! These sashes are an
upgraded item but they are worth every penny!  They are a new, stylish design that
gives texture and depth to the standard sash.

They are also available in overlays, runners, and tablecloths.  Contact us today for
pricing on these specialty rentals, they are more affordable than you would think!

We love our new line of spandex products here at Elegant Design Events!  These spandex bands are an awesome addition to your standard chair cover.  Also, we carry spandex highboy linens for a clean, sleek-look on your highboy tables.  The chair covers with a spandex band, set-up and removal are only $2.85 each!  What a steal!  Contact us for pricing on highboy spandex, as price varies by color and exact size of table.  

Three wedding seasons ago, Sherry and I fearlessly walked into the Wedding World without an idea of what we were getting ourselves into! Three years and countless weddings later, we have gained a much greater appreciation and understanding for this wedding stuff! In this mini-series, I will talk about three of the invaluable lessons I have learned.  The First Lesson (and arguably, the most important):

Choose your vendors wisely!

Many, many, many of my brides ask for recommendations on vendors. We highly recommend a very small number of vendors that we have had great experiences with. Occasionally, there are brides who need vendors to meet somewhat "different" needs and we begin a search to find great people who can provide great service.

The most common myth out there is "book your vendors quickly, they book up fast." While quality vendors may book up quickly, by no means should you rush! Now, if you're wedding is in three months and you don't have a photographer you might want to give us a call! However, the typical bride has no reason to rush and make a decision just to make sure they have that specific need checked off. Let me tell you brides-to-be: there are MANY, MANY, MANY awesome vendors in the Kansas City market and you should not rush to make a decision!

Occasionally, brides know exactly what venue they want and know they have to book it fast. This might be the one exception to the rule. Otherwise, take time to search your options and keep an open mind. Remember, this may be your first real exposure to the wedding market and by meeting with more vendors, you will get more ideas and gain a greater understanding of what you're really looking for.

As wedding planners, Elegant Design Events is always happy to help find vendors that meet your needs. Give us a call today 816-200-2743, or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I will be happy to help guide you!
