## Tips by Handley McCrory of **Handley Breaux Designs**
### Draw Your Guests’ Eyes Upwards.Brides are leaning towards more impactful design moments for their receptions as opposed to a monotonous sea of tables. A floral chandelier is always a Handley Breaux Designs favorite!

### Don’t Forget the Little Details.It is important to remember that each little detail of your wedding day will be photographed. Put extra thought into selecting your shoes, ring box, and even a special hanger for your dress. If you have all of these things together, you will have a very happy wedding planner and photographer!

### Wow Your Guests!Since we see so many weddings, it is a welcomed challenge to find ways to make each wedding stand out. We loved this snowy exit for a December wedding! Wow Your Guests!

### Don’t Be Afraid of Color.Neutral weddings are on their way out, and colorful affairs are taking center stage. The right pops of color combinations can go a long way!

### Incorporate Your Personality.A wedding should be a reflection of the bride & groom’s personalities. Instead of a traditional groom’s cake, a coffee and donut bar is perfect for a donut-loving couple! This sweet bride surprised her groom with this at the reception.

### Be Consistent.We always encourage creating a monogram or personalized logo that we can carry through the entire wedding design. Using the logo on the paper suite, cups, napkins, putting it on the cake, and even making it into a light projection will really pull everything together.
