WEDDING WEDNESDAYS – Shannon & Christian

What would you do if you discovered your soon-to-be fiance’s intention to propose, before he had the opportunity to pop the big question?

Shannon, opened a wrapped gift under the Christmas tree from Christian, thinking he just forgot to gift it to her on Christmas Day. While flipping through the brand new journal her love gifted her, she saw his marriage proposal in ink.

Surprised, she quickly re-wrapped the present and later during a romantic New Years vacation, Christian pulled out the wrapped journal and asked her to open it. Shannon lovingly acted surprised and thrilled, but later confesses of what really happened.

Their genuine love and affection for one another was incredible, and we were so thrilled to gift the couple with their dream wedding!

“We won the “Inspired Wedding” prize package at the Wonderful Wedding Show so we ended up winning Events by Emma as our wedding coordinator and they helped make our décor wishes come true! Emma and her team welcomed all our ideas and brought our vision to life with all the décor and details!”

Wonderful Wedding Show 2014

Posted on January 27, 2014 by Elizabeth Catacutan

At Events by Emma, our goal is to turn YOUR event concept into reality. No matter how complex or unique your vision is, we make it happen.

But if you think these beautiful and extravagant events happen overnight, think again. Our event process takes time and attention, but without it, we couldn’t do what we do.

Take this year’s Wonderful Wedding Show booth for example. We started planning the design of our booth with just some simple brainstorming. Finding ideas and inspirations in photos, stationary, and linens that got us excited, and that reflected our brand.

Once we determined the look and feel of our booth, we had one of our designers sketch a final floor plan, paying attention to the little details we wanted to emphasize.

01261301 From there, we partnered with some of our amazing vendors and shared with them our vision of our booth. With their help, we were able to pull what we needed to complete the look and feel of our booth.

Days leading to the event… this is when all the magic happens. Our senior staff and event crew works together with our wonderful vendors to transform the concept into reality. With a truck full of decor and furniture, and a staff that is known for their keen attention to detail… we get it done! And the end result is definitely worth it!

Day 3 - Teaser Day 3 of our Events by Emma 12 Days of Inspiration is a whole lot of pretty!
