We love a fun “behind the scenes” video of a Howerton+Wooten Events bride getting ready — especially when she looks as happy and relaxed as our gorgeous bride, Kierstin. The key is having a strong support system, and she definitely had that in her family and her wedding attendants and her professional wedding vendors. ♥️

One of the ways the team at Howerton+Wooten Events shows love and care within our couples’ wedding planning experience is the mailing of their wedding invitations. We want their invitations to look amazing when their guests receive them, so we ensure they are hand cancelled at the post office. What does it mean to “hand cancel” a wedding invitation? Check out LaShonda’s explanation. #weddingplanningadvice #weddingplanningtips #weddingtips #weddinginvitations
We love comics at the Wooten House. So when we finished the basement last year, we wanted one of the first art scenes to be a gallery wall of black super heroes. (With the exception of the one poster on the far left. It’s a placeholder until I find the final piece.) By the way, one of the biggest super heroes in this video is the incredibly talented lady hanging the pictures for me. Her company is called Gallery Grid and I can’t imagine hanging another gallery wall without her.

We love creating great experiences for our couples. So, when our couple asked to add a cigar roller to their wedding reception, we went a step further by creating a cigar lounge with a vibe that was perfect for a classic, dapper gentleman (of course, the ladies were invited). The room was enveloped in black velvet with a touches of red throughout it to celebrate the groom’s fraternity. The guests enjoyed both a whiskey bar and a cigar roller. And fortunately, there was a balcony connected to the room so the guests could enjoy their cigars without affecting the nonsmoking guests. 🚬 Photograher: @Love life images I Design: Howerton+Wooten Events

Raise your hand if you hate those long bar lines at a wedding reception! 🙋🏽♀️They drive me nuts! Check out these five tips for minimizing your line of guests at the bar. 1.) Start hydrating your guests before the ceremony begins by serving pre-ceremony sips; 2.) Butler pass the wine, sparkling wine; and signature drinks; 3.) create and display signage with the drink menu on it; 4.) Make sure you have the right number of bartenders; and 5.) Hire an additional bartender for the cocktail reception only. #weddingplanningadvice #weddingdinner #weddingexperience #professionalweddingplanner #weddingreceptiontips #weddingplanningtips #howertonwooten #weddingcocktail #weddingindustryexpert #theenlightenedcreative #loveandsoulalways
Is your wedding day running behind? 1.) Consider the idea of foregoing the receiving line: 2.) Trim your cocktail reception time; 3.) Assign hostesses and ushers to help your guests find their escort cards and their seats in the reception; 4.) Host the toasts and the cake cutting right after the second course is served (instead of the end ofndinner); 5) Bustle your wedding dress DURING the cocktail reception and 6.) Close the bar when the cocktail reception is supposed to end. It will keep your hurst from lingering. #weddingplanningadvice #weddingplanningtips #theenlightenedcreative #weddingtips #dcweddingplanner #dceventplanner #washingtondcwedding #weddingadvice #weddingplanner
Are you planning to have an aisle runner at your wedding ceremony, but you don’t know how long it should be? Keep this formula in mind - Add three (3) feet to the aisle runner for every row of chiavari chairs and folding chairs you intend to have. If you are going to be in a church for your ceremony, calculate 3½ to 4 feet for each row of church pews. Add 5 feet or so if you want the aisle runner to reach where the couple is standing. Add another 5 to 10 feet if you want the aisle runner to begin in the vestibule of the church. #theenlightenedcreative #aislerunner #weddingplanning #professionalweddingplanner #weddingplanningtips #weddingdecorideas #weddingplanningadvice #brides #grooms
OKAY, THIS IS "SERIOUS." 🦉What is in your on-site emergency plan if something should happen to the bride and groom (or a member of the wedding party) on the day of the wedding? Who are you supposed to call? Let's start with a contact list for the couple, their immediate family, the wedding party and the wedding vendors. When you collect their names and contact information, ask for the name and contact information of their emergency contact too. NOTE: This includes the emergency contact information for the wedding vendors. (Whom should I call if the photographer has to go to the hospital?) Finally, this contact information should include dietary restrictions and health information. Then, make sure that the planner has it, the family leader has it and share it with the venue coordinator so that s/he can share it with the staff member in charge of emergencies at your wedding venue. #theenlightenedcreative #weddingemergency #weddingcrisis #weddingplanningadvice #weddingplanner
The next time you are talking finances and wedding venues, please keep in mind that the F&B minimum is just a minimum spend or a point of entry. The actual menu prices can be so much more than that. And remember to include service charges (or labor charges) and taxes when you determine per person costs. Also, ask about ceremony fees, rental fees, cleaning fees, cake cutting fees, service charges and taxes. #weddingplanningtips #weddingbudget #weddingvenue #weddingplanner
