{Featured} Real Soiree- Sarah + Laura's Garden Valley Wedding
Happy Tuesday! So excited to be able to finally share this intimate, sweet wedding with you. Featured on Wedding Chicks today, do head over to take a peek at the whole spread- and get some great ideas on how to really personalize your wedding. We'll be back tomorrow with more photos from this mountain destination wedding, so stay tuned!
A Beauty Concierge Program By Soiree
In over 8 years of planning weddings, four of which have been primarily focused on full planning with our clients, a few things have popped up that either scream "it's working", or "this is not working". One of the areas in planning that has always seemed just off to me- both to the client and to us as planners- has been hair and makeup services. In fact, if I've ever seen a bride cry or become frustrated, it's over this- and looking back over the years, managing hair and makeup has been one of the more frustrating areas for us too. After analyzing wedding after wedding, I realized the process tends to breakdown at the point of communication and vision through the beauty team. Most hair and makeup artists are freelancers, so they each have their own process, rates, style and preferred ways of communication. Brides hiring their own beauty pros either rely on referrals or use someone they know- even if they are not necessarily experienced in the unique timeline of a wedding day or managing a large bridal party. On our end, we found we were sometimes working with someone new near every wedding, and it was often like reinventing the wheel every time. It was only when we were working with artists we know and love that the process became seamless and the experience was at its highest for the bride. So we decided we were on to something.

I met with Camilla from Deco Hair and Makeup Design to go over this new idea, and over our many cocktails and conversations, the idea evolved first into creating a network of hand-selected artists, then into an actual concierge program offering a full experience to be pampered as a bride. We wanted a bride to be able to trust immediately that she was in expert hands and most of all we wanted her to be pampered and to be able to create some really great memories on her wedding day. Part of making this happen was ensuring that the process would be painless..no more interviewing several artists, but rather being paired up with the artist that best fit their needs and look for the day. No more comparing rates because each bride would be offered a customized day-rate package that would include her beauty team, travel, and any additional services requested as an easy to understand bundle. And best of all, our brides could rest easy knowing they were working with the best of the best for their day.

So now that we have been talking about this new program, releasing little sneak peeks here and there (we even hinted about it all the way back at our holiday party in December!), we are finally ready (and so thrilled) to officially launch it and offer it to our brides. The artists have been interviewed and selected, and include some of Boise's best such as Deco Hair and Makeup Design, Jamie Verner (Blush By Jamie Rose), and Gabby Marcantonio for Bobbi Brown. As the program progresses we intend to offer other types of services to even further enhance the wedding day or weekend experience, such as spa and nail services.

Currently the beauty concierge program is offered exclusively to Soiree brides as an add-on to your services, and is included in our full planning levels. While these amazing artists are already on our referral list, the program offers an entire wedding day experience with next to no planning on your part (and if all goes well, we may begin offering it as a stand-alone service too..stay tuned!). And we can't wait to hear how you like it! So many thanks to Tana Photography for spending the day with us to snap photos of these beauty pros in action.

{Featured} Whitney + Brian's Winter McCall Wedding on Style Me Pretty!
Happy Monday morning lovelies! There's nothing much better than waking up on a Monday morning to an amazing spread on Style Me Pretty- and we're thrilled to see one of our winter McCall weddings featured today.
Whitney and Brian planned their wedding with us in a short 7 months- his season as a race car driver left them only a few months to choose for a wedding- and before we knew it, January came and the wedding weekend went off without a hitch.

Whitney and Brian planned their wedding with us in a short 7 months- his season as a race car driver left them only a few months to choose for a wedding- and before we knew it, January came and the wedding weekend went off without a hitch.
The look for the wedding was vintage shabby chic, matched with feminine blush and gold. Oh and chandeliers- we often joked that this bride would be the happiest girl on the planet if all she could have were chandeliers and her man.
The ceremony was held in the upper pavilion of Shore Lodge. White chiavari chairs were paired with two vintage church pews for an eclectic, shabby look, and all 17 of the chandeliers were filled with white flowers and draped pearls for an immediate romantic feel in the room. From there guests were shuttled over to Whitetail Club for a cocktail hour and dinner. From the outside, the building looked like any normal building. But from the inside- a tent dripping with chandeliers.

And we can't not put in the most gorgeous wedding video we've ever seen, to date, by PenWeddings:

Featured | Caitlin + Monty's McCall Soiree
Happy Monday! We woke up with news in our inbox- Caitlin and Monty's southern September affair is featured on Style Me Pretty today! We have been (im)patiently sitting on all of the pretty photos from Two Bird Studio for months so we are so thrilled to finally reveal them. But first, a little background on this wedding. Caitlin and Monty spent much of their relationship long distance, including while planning their wedding; Caitlin was in New York for most of it, working with her Regas team, and Monty in Texas. McCall was a favorite family spot from Caitlin's childhood so they chose the lakeside destination locale to bring their family and friends from all over to one lovely place. I remember receiving the initial email from Caitlin- she was spunky and so excited to put tons of thought and detail into the weekend, and she's a letterpress designer, so basically we hit it off from the start.
Three locations within McCall- The Old Finn Church, Roseberry Barn, and Shore Lodge- and three design concepts layered to build upon each other-provided such an awesome experience for the guests; a historic quaint chapel to start, rustic barn complete with a lively folk band and spanning mountain views, and a rockin band, great food and gorgeous lake setting to end the night. In short it was an amazing event that had the entire Soiree team involved and we loved every second of it. Here are a few photos to whet your whistle, but do take a peek at the full feature on Style Me Pretty today!

Press | Barber Park Pink + Peach Garden Wedding
Happy Tuesday Lovelies,
We were thrilled to hear from Tana that Andrea and Jess' June wedding was being featured over at Elizabeth Anne Designs today- this was definitely an English Garden affair through and through. From the soft colors of pinks, peaches, and ivories to the eclectic pottery pitchers and pink mason glass, this wedding was a breath of fresh air in the middle of summer. And can we talk a minute about Andrea...how lovely was she on her wedding day? Jess was pretty strapping himself, too. Do take a peek at the whole spread when you have a minute!

The Gorgeous Orangery At Ball Manor | In Pictures
Breathtaking is more like it. And very southern meets French...it really spoke to the belles and Francophiles within us. It's just what Boise has been aching for- a plantation style venue (complete with the acreage to accompany it) in the country (but not so far out). Introducing The Orangery At Ball Manor.
Set to open to brides, private parties, and picturesque photo opps this summer, Boise's newest venue is going to make the ladies swoon. We were so delighted to be brought on board in organizing and designing a photo shoot that would not only show off the venue's natural beauty, but also serve as a gorgeous sneak peek of the endless possibilities on the Orangery's marketing materials.
Some tidbits about the venue: The manor boasts an indoor/outdoor option with roll up and french doors that all open on to about 3000 sq ft of patio space. This means your party can flow in and out, fresh air will be plenty, and the views will be bountiful for your guests. Need more indoor space? The ample space on either side of the venue allows for tents to come right up to the building for a seamless look. And we haven't even gotten to the English gardens that will be gracing the property- I've seen the landscaping plans and it is going to be, well, breathtaking. The entire property as a whole is on about 10 acres, so parties of 80-1000+ will fit comfortably here, all served with ample amounts of charm.
Here are some of our favorite snapshots from our friends over at Two Bird Studio of the photo shoot we collaborated on. Our vision for the shoot was to enhance the natural "French Country" feel the space has as well as play up what the manor will be famous for- it's orange trees. Hope you love it as much as we do!

2012 Weddings Round Up | Favorite Color Palettes
Welcome to our 2012 wedding round up series! Today kicks off an 8 week mini-series that we'll feature every Wednesday- from our favorite dresses to invitations we couldn't stop looking at to blooms that seemed to get better with every wedding. As we planned this series, it was so amazing to see how different every event we did last year really was- and how much they reflected each couple, even when many were at the same venue.
First up to start the wedding round up- 2012 was a year full of colors! And we loved every one of them. These were some of the color palettes, from soft and subtle to bold and bright they all beautifully transformed into one of a kind weddings. Here are some of our favorites from the past year…
Sam and Travis
These are just a collection of our favorites- be sure to stay tuned every Wednesday for more wedding eye candy. And don't worry, we'll eventually be posting full features on some of the never-before-seen weddings on the blog, so stay tuned for that too.

This palette came together just perfectly, especially with
the elements of soft glam with a touch of wood and birch throughout to give it
that rustic feel.

Shore Lodge, McCall
The elements of this event involved soft neutrals with pops
of color. This palette is far simpler, it was vintage, organic, but all with a
touch of modern features. So pretty!

Could these colors be any more perfect for a spring wedding
in snowy McCall, Idaho? Whimsy meets romance, with a lush garden feel at this wedding.
The colorful patterns and centerpieces made everything stand out beautifully.

The simple neutrals in this color scheme, mixed with the pop
of deep red, what more can we say?
Simply stunning.
