We've Moved!!

Great news, everyone! 

We are SO excited to announce that we have moved to a new location!

You can now visit our office in Grapevine, Texas, in the heart of the DFW metroplex. We're located 30 minutes from Dallas and 30 minutes from Fort Worth, nestled in the building of a historic landmark right off Grapevine's Main Street.

In this new location, we can design mock-tablescapes with our clients, show our vast array of inventory items from centerpieces, to candles, to table numbers, to linen swatches, to reception decor, and beyond!

All About Branding!

When you think about weddings, do you also think of the word "branding"? Probably not. It's not like you're selling a service or running a business, right? Why would a wedding need to be branded?

It's pretty simple, really. Arguably the single most important aspect of planning any event is ensuring that there is a strong sense of cohesion from beginning to end. This cohesiveness is what makes your wedding flow together in harmony, creating a picturesque event that is uniquely YOURS--- it's your brand!

Typically we associate brands with logos, but that's not always the case for a wedding. While some couples do choose to use their monogram as a type of logo for their wedding, (which is super cute, might we add), there are also many other ways to execute a well branded wedding. These ideas include employing a consistent color theme from start to finish, using the same fonts on all printed materials, or using a design theme such as nautical or whimsical for all wedding elements to reference.

With the help of our team at Shenanigans, we can create a perfectly branded wedding that is unique to you. After all, it's our job to make your dreams come true!

Enjoy these beautiful photos from one of our well branded weddings to inspire your own branding ideas! (This particular wedding was branded by the color purple with accents of yellow. Additionally, there were references to the bride and groom's alma matter, Texas Christian University, throughout the wedding in various ways.)

Sensational Send-Offs!

First impressions are important, but last impressions are a MUST!

How you choose to make your exit should truly be the icing on your magnificent, wedding-cake-filled day! Sure, bird seed, bubbles, and flower petals are timeless classics that will always be used as a way to celebrate the send-off of the bride and groom... but let's turn up the volume! Why not get creative by employing the elements of surprise and delight with new and exciting ideas that will *WOW* your guests and make for priceless photos?

Here are some sensational {{Shenanigans approved}} send-off suggestions (say that 5 times fast!) that will leave your guests mesmerized by the all-around fabulous-ness of your event... from beautiful beginning to extraordinary end!

Ribbon wands create just the right amount of whimsy on your perfect day! Not to mention, the beautiful color-coordinated streamers look stunning in photos!

Sparklers are jut simply beautiful! They make for some of the very best exit photos and they're a hit with guests of all ages. What's even more exciting, there are special types of sparklers that are slow burning, allowing for enough time to make your exit, as well as colored sparklers that coordinate with your wedding colors!

Dance your way into the night with a musical exit! Using instruments such as a trombone, trumpet, guitar, or many others to lead the way creates a fun and exciting element of surprise!This kind of exit is sure to keep the energy alive right up to the very last minute!

When it's time to GO, it's time to GLOW!!

Glow sticks are such a fun and unique way to make your exit. They can be ordered in huge quantities of any color, they're relatively inexpensive, and guests love them!

Fireworks! Need we say more? Nothing has quite the same WOW-factor as an illuminated sky full of brilliant, sparkly colors. This is not only entertaining, but also sets the scene for the most stunning photos!
