Many of our clients are looking for something truly unique to give their bridesmaids. Something that they’ll use and enjoy for many years after the wedding. Something feminine, sweet, and even something they can personalize. Many of our clients choose shawls. They can select a color to coordinate with the girls’ gowns or a color they know they will wear throughout the year. (Tip: Ivory is extremely popular!).

Brooke and Her Bridesmaids, Steamboat Springs, February. BRRR!

I found this online article through WeddingWire.com where some brides are sharing their opinion on this trend. An officiant even listed the many uses she’s had for her pashmina shawl, including shielding a baby from the sun, providing a last-minute table linen, and warming a cold flower girl.

This photo shows one of our beloved brides and her bridesmaids staying warm with our black and ivory shawls. It was a cold, but gorgeous February day in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The girls could stay for the outdoor photo shoot longer because of their shawls.

We’re so excited to have participated in a fantasy table design through the International Special Events Society, along with other great Denver wedding vendors. We won in three categories for our design and have been highlighted in Colorado Meetings and Events, Summer 2010 issue.

Our fur-trimmed shawls are displayed in the trunk in the back right corner as well as draping the chairs. We really enjoyed being a part of this team, creating a French-inspired lavish dining experience. Note: The article mentions our former name, Adorn.

I first met Lisa and Gary at the Denver Quality Hill Bridal Show at Grant-Humphreys Mansion in January. They were attending because their wedding was scheduled at G-H Mansion on June 7th (coincidentally, my birthday!). They had completed a lot of the planning, but there were still some details to be finalized.

My very good friend and popular wedding coordinator, Michelle Gillette with Dramatic Events, was asked to give some short planning seminars. She touched on various aspects of planning an outdoor ceremony (sprinkler schedules, having umbrellas on-hand, asking about tossing birdseed and such). Lisa and Gary heard some of Michelle’s tips and really agreed with the umbrella comment. They had visited the Mansion exactly one year before their wedding, just to see the weather. June 7, 2009 was one for the record books. Hail the size of golf balls fell all over Denver. There were downpours and whipping wind. After seeing what could happen, Lisa and Gary decided to look into umbrellas for their guests. Michelle mentioned that Splendor was at the bridal show if anyone had questions about renting umbrellas or shawls. Thus, Lisa and Gary sought us out.

Meeting them was such a pleasure. They are a wonderful couple and one of the most organized couples I’ve ever seen. They knew what they wanted and they made decisions efficiently.

Lisa and Gary chose to rent both shawls and umbrellas for their guests. They were thinking of both comfort and design. They chose three amazing colors for umbrellas and two sweet hues for shawls. It created an offering that guests will remember for a lifetime.

We’re honored to have been a part of their special day. Thank you, Lisa and Gary, for trusting us with your guests’ comfort.
