Thankful For Bridesmaids

Necklace

Choosing bridesmaids is an important and fun part of the wedding expereince. They will be so helpful during the planning process. From picking the right colors to keeping you sane, your bridesmaids are your support system! What better way to say thank you, than with a special gift. After all it wouldn’t be your perfect day without them!

Ribbon Cards, Wine, Glasses, Hangers, Robes

Give something your bridesmaids can use again. Every time they accessorize with it they’ll be sure to think of you and the amazing time they had on your wedding day!

Newport Bridal Tea Party

Bridal tea parties are a great way to have an intimate gathering before the big day.  This traditional, elegant party allows you to spend quality time with friends and family.  In any large event it can be hard to find the time to really enjoy the people who you invite to your wedding, planning smaller gatherings before your wedding allows just this.

Co-ed Bachelor & Bachelorette Party in Newport

The minute someone says bachelorette party in Newport...you think a bunch of girls (one wearing a sash and cheesy veil)  a party bus, and the locals saying "oh boy, here's another" If you go out in the summer on a weekend night, no lie you will see at least 3 of these "stereotypes".

This couple decided to break that mold, and hold their bachelor/bachelorette party together. That's right, together. And they had a blast! They started the night separately with their bridal parties, girls had a wine tasting, guys had a beer tasting, then they all headed to 41 North & Christies for drinks, sunsets, pool playing and dancing. These pictures prove you don't have to be the stereotype!

Bridal Pilates

In Newport, weddings always turn in to "wedding weekends" Most couples want to share this great city with there guests, so we at Couture Parties are always looking for fun things to share with our couples and their guests. I worked with T & her Mom F to plan an awesome weekend of fun for their bridal party and guests. Here is one aspect of their wedding. The "ladies" of the bridal party had a pilates instructor come in and do pilates & yoga with them the day before the Sunday wedding. This took place in the courtyard of the hotel. Fun right?!
