CUSTOM DESIGN PACKAGE
When you are planning an extravagant wedding celebration with
intricate details, this is the package for you. Your custom designs
- from couture linens to mood lighting - every detail will be
planned and executed with lavish, careful attention.
An initial discussion with Michael will include your locations,
travel plans, honeymoon location and feeling you want at your
celebration.
This package includes:
- Complimentary client/designer first meeting to develop working
relationship between principals and communicate wedding inspiration
to designer. This first meeting usually lasts 2 to 3 hours.
- Design
of a very special celebration for your wedding. This may be
a rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. The wedding
day is traditionally comprised of the preparation time, gathering
time, ceremony, cocktail party, and dinner dance. Extravagant
weekend destination celebrations usually include activities
that are planned from Thursday to Sunday. Celebrating may last
as long as 2 weeks and involve travel between several different
locations.
- Design
and execute showers and special parties, including location
suggestion, timeline, theme development, favors and any details
to ensure a personalized feel your incredible parties always
reflect.
