2021 Weddings & Events Guide
August, 2021 - Issue #202

What's that loud noise you hear? It's the near-constant phone ringing happening at event locations, catering kitchens, rental offices and more across town - and the country. Pent-up demand has couples and planners booking vendors at a record speed, eager to celebrate their special day with family and friends close by.
While the question about who's calling and why has been answered, the question about who to call has not. Here, you'll find our favorite wedding and event vendors. These professionals don't just have stellar ratings - they have our seal of approval. We've used them ourselves for the numerous events we've hosted over the years. They make us look good - and they'll do the same for you. Happy planning!


The New Normal Is Beautiful
What does your post-pandemic wedding look like? However you want it to!
Details are Everything
The guest list is a bit smaller, so you can afford to splurge on the details. It's the way to make a huge impression and throw a truly-memorable event! 24/7 Events has new glassware, dinnerware, flatware, furniture, bars, linens, chargers, and more to help you create a well-designed tablescape and overall ambience.
Keep Everyone Safe
There are fantastic ways to make sure everyone feels comfortable at your event. Your event specialist can arrange physical distancing between tables and chairs; provide additional glassware to ensure that drinks are not being mixed; and make recommendations on ways to make sure each individual is comfortable.
Outdoor Weddings & Events are Key
Whether it is open air or in a tent, outdoor weddings are a great way to ensure you have space and can create your dream wedding without worry. Backyard weddings and outdoor tented weddings are a great way to skip the red tape and create your dream wedding without the uncertainty of changing venue regulations. A tent is a blank canvas for you to create the wedding of your dreams.
Remember: Everything is booking up fast because of demand. Be sure to connect with your rental vendor as soon as possible so they can accommodate your requests and reserve your items.

Since the bridal party might be wearing different-style dresses, you can also mix up the hairstyles to give each of them a unique look that best accentuates their features. Vary the styles from updos to half-up designs, buns and more. Just remember to make sure the bride has a look that is distinctly different from the bridal party.

Bridal Hair & Makeup Trends for 2021
This year's bridal trends range from natural to high-glam looks. The only limit: Your imagination!
For Hair
Romantic loose curls are perfect for any wedding. Use a setting spray as you curl your hair to keep your curls intact from the time you say your vows to the last dance of the day.
Loose or tight chignon buns are always a classic bridal look. Pull it back to the nape of your neck or pin it to the side with curls for texture.
Hollywood waves are a top bridal trend this year. This elegant hairstyle can be worn as loose waves down the back or can be pulled into a ponytail.
For Makeup
Natural looking makeup is a classic bridal look that never goes out of style. Pair natural eye makeup ranging from soft browns to blush pinks with a soft peach or pink blush on your cheekbones to give you a rosy glow. Complete your look with a soft pink or peach lipstick.
A smoky eye in browns, plums or greys - with a touch of shimmer - will make your eyes really pop. Add a sparkling peach, rose gold or soft sparkling white to the inner corners of your eyes to add extra glimmer. Highlighting your cheekbones and temple with soft peaches and pinks will give brides a natural rosy glow.
On your wedding day, you want to look and feel your best. The biggest trend of 2021 is this: Do whatever makes you feel and look beautiful!

Fabulous Florals: The Jewelry of your Event
In 2021, floral trends have gone neutral. Tans, blushes, whites and ivories are having their moment. So too are dried flowers nestled into bouquets and centerpieces. Grand dried palm fans make a big statement during the ceremony and pair perfectly with a neutral color palette. Whatever look you choose, Acton Creative Flowers can craft it. They're a diverse design shop where your style is their style!

Feel Confident in your Body on the Wedding Day, Honeymoon & Beyond
Wish your tux wasn't quite so... tight on the tummy? Hoping to brag on the bikini pics? In as little as six sessions, you can freeze fat off with Cryo T-shock - and feel more confident. Here's how it works. The Cryo T-shock wand is massaged over your targeted areas while the cold temps freeze your fat cells beneath the surface of your skin. When fat cells freeze, they crystallize; your body will get rid of them naturally over a 12 to 14 day period through your urine and sweat. Results compound with each treatment, which are scheduled every few weeks. A minimum of six sessions are suggested, though some clients may opt for more depending on their body mass index. The treatment is quick, painless and highly effective - plus, it's affordable. Six sessions of either upper or lower abdominals is only $1,199. Choose a six-session butt lift for $1,499. Not sure this is for you? Consultations are free and payment plans are available.
