The biggest trend this wedding season is modern, chic, and totally bold and beautiful. At Essence of Events, we think that the best way to pull off a look like this is to strip down your wedding to the bare bones, and no, we don’t mean getting rid of all the fabulous décor, but perhaps getting rid of some color.
Black and white weddings are a huge trend right now. It may sound basic, but take a look at these stunning photos to see why having a two-toned wedding is more fabulous than it sounds.

Black and white gowns, like this Vera Wang, were in abundance at the bridal shows in New York this past spring.

Accents of black make this tablescape perfectly simple and elegant.


Glamorous orchids, black goblets, and specialty linens make this table truly memorable.

The utilization of table chandeliers make this table setting feel intimate.

For the past two Wednesday’s, our blog has featured events and vendors that Essence of Events, LLC has the pleasure of working with. This is the final week in our series showcasing our preferred vendors, so we are excited to finish with this electric décor scheme.
Our rental partner for this particular event was Trendy Event Rentals, and they are just wonderful to work with. As their name would suggest, Trendy has the most fashionable and chic décor options of the moment for your wedding or event.
We chose an electric pink and tangerine color scheme for the day’s event, and Trendy Event Rentals was able to provide us with the chargers, fabric drapes, vases, and linens which include napkins, table clothes, and chair sashes. Take a look at some of the photos from that day to see how Essence of Events is able to work with various companies, and get inspiration for your special day.

The tangerine and electric pink color scheme is beautifully displayed here with the attention to detail from the centerpieces to the fabric swatches. The subtle pops of color are made bolder by heavy uses of white and silver.

A beautiful tablescape designed by Essence of Events. The use of fresh fruits in vases is a new trend, and one our coordinators continued to mimic even through to the name cards at each table setting. The attention to detail for this event is superior.

As you can see in this shot of the room, there are various centerpiece arrangements that our coordinators at Essence of Events used. A tall trumpet vase in the far back, then the fresh tangerines and oranges in the cylinder vases, and in the front mirrored square boxed vases with fresh flowers. Having varying centerpieces of different styles and heights is a new trend and a good way to show off different décor and design elements you want incorporated into your event.



These photos of the room shows the level of detail that Essence of Events puts into each wedding and event we plan. From floral to décor, linens, and your favors; Essence of Events makes sure that every touch is in place for you and your guests.


This up-close photo of the trumpet vase centerpiece Essence of Events designed shows another style of floral arrangement available for your event or wedding. Including fruit in with the flowers is exceptionally popular and also blends in with the theme.

Last week we featured an event Essence of Events, LLC participated in, instead of a wedding on Wedding Wednesdays. This week we are going to do the same thing, and as you’ll see from the photos below, we had a little help from two of our preferred vendors.
Trendy Event Rentals and AA Party Rentals are two of the wonderful rental companies that Essence of Events has the pleasure of working with for our weddings and events, and this particular time was no different.
Check out our décor and design work, and how with the supplies we got from these two companies, we put them together to make this coral and navy blue style scheme work flawlessly.

In this view of the tablescape, you can see the way Essence of Events has set and laid out the table to perfection. AA Party Rentals provided the goblets, and Trendy Event Rentals supplied the chargers, vases, and table linens which include the satin napkins, table cloths, and chair sashes.

These vases, which Essence of Events got from Trendy Event Rentals, are filled with water beads to add a new dimension to the floral arrangements. Essence of Events, LLC always finds innovative, different, and unique ways to add flair and elegance to your day.

In this shot you can see the creative way the Essence of Events has used the chargers, furnished by Trendy Event Rentals, and customized name cards to create a striking place setting. At Essence of Events, LLC we aim to blend your distinctive style with personalized touches to create one-of-a-kind events.

AA Party Rental’s goblets host the beautiful coral napkins by Trendy Event Rentals. There is a flowing theme of floral and roses throughout this tablescape, which is mimicked from the flowers, to this napkin design, and the flower bow tied into the chair sash.

The chairs are provided by AA Party Rentals and are just one of the many, many options that they have available to rent for weddings and events. Essence of Events, LLC has the pleasure of working with many professionals in this industry, and AA Party Rentals and Trendy Event Rentals are just two of the wonderful companies we get to work with.

Essence of Events, LLC furnished the floral décor for this event, and is available for floral arrangements for your upcoming wedding and event. From vendor referrals, to décor design, day-of services, and much more, click here to find out what else Essence of Events can offer you!

Even though on Wednesday’s we usually feature a wedding, for the next few weeks we are going to take this opportunity to feature some of the recent shows we have been a part of and the fabulous vendors we get the chance to work with.
At Essence of Events, LLC we love our vendors, especially our rental décor partners. They provide us with all of the items that make events beautiful and stunning. It is an absolute blast to choose which products to use, but also overwhelming, because there are so many to choose from.
In January Essence of Events participated in an event, and with the help of AA Party Rentals, our booth was crisp, fresh, and breathtaking. As it should be, after all, we chose a mint color pallet!
Take a look at these photos from the event, and see the quality products AA Party Rentals provided, and the styling by Essence of Events, to see a sample of how your upcoming wedding or event could potentially look.

Our Wedding Planners at Essence of Events used a variety of décor techniques to make the table runner pop when styling this tablescape. The combination of mirrored runners, high-low height centerpieces, floating candles in pillared vases of different heights, combined with regular candles makes this table unique and different. The rhinestone elements are obvious throughout; from the napkin rings, to the pillared vases.

The typography on the menu is all in the details for the Wedding Planners at Essence of Events. We love add special touches throughout each event, including the continuation of the rhinestones.

A detailed shot of the centerpieces on the table. Essence of Events, LLC also provides floral and décor arrangements for any event. Rest assured that with some of nature’s beauty, and our Event Planners professional abilities, Essence of Events, LLC will add ambiance requested to your wedding, party, or event.

The favors Essence of Events supplied for each guest were mints, with the bespoke tag reading “Mint to Be.” We believe it is all in the details, even down to the smallest touches. That is why we take great care to make sure your event is what you envision it to be, and it’s completely “you.”

The chavari chairs are elegant enough, but with some décor and design touches, they are transformed to fit the theme flawlessly.

Instead of just having plain pipe-and-draping, the Wedding Planners at Essence of events wanted to add a few extra touches to tie the whole space together.
For this event, AA Party Rentals provided the draping, vases, tables, chairs, glassware, silverware, and plates, which transformed a plain space into someone’s potential wedding table. However AA Party Rentals can provide you with so much more than those items for your upcoming event. They have been in the business for over 40 years, and their inventory has thousands of on-trend products to choose from.
Essence of Events works with many vendors to make every wedding and event a success. We are not only an events planning company, but are also available for vendor coordination and referral services. To learn more about all of our services, and to get your questions answered, schedule your free, initial consultation today. Email us at contact@essenceofevents.com or call 253.292.1482
