WM Events and Peachtree Tents & Events Win at NACE Design Trends
Congratulations to the Peachtree Tents and Events Table Top at the NACE Design Trends competition and the Bridal Extravaganza. Held at 200 Peachtree this past Sunday and Monday, the event was a major success. We partnered with Peachtree Tents and Events, Dwayne Bass with his innovative Rubblox furniture, Christian Ruffin at One Stop Productions, and Dee Lane Eades at Graceful Tables to make a lively table covered in moss, succulents, ferns, and other greenery. Mixing a stainless steel table, an antique barn door, rubber furniture, and lots of living plants was an inventive twist that added visual and textural interest. Tell us what you think in the comments below!

Well, no matter your preference, we’ve got some interesting infusers that are sure to flavor your cup of tea in just the right way. Did we mention they’re environmentally friendly as well?

WM Events on Grace Ormonde’s Website
Grace Ormonde knows what she’s doing- especially when it comes to weddings. That’s why we were so delighted to have one of our event photos selected in her inspirational gallery. Courtney and Chuck’s organic wedding in Boulder, CO was truly magnificent, and people took notice. It garnered attention all across the event planning world, gaining a nomination for both a Special Event Award and an Icon Award. National and Colorado-based publications were in a furry to get a hold of the details. A special thanks goes out to Shamane’s Bake Shoppe, based in Boulder, and David Wegwart, from Denver for making this happen! So see how the WM Events cake stacks up to others in the Grace Ormonde Inspiration Gallery.

Fall Fashion Week Color Report
Sometimes after a major event, you need some time to regroup, collect your thoughts, and visualize some data. That’s exactly what EDITD did after New York, London, Milan, and Paris’ Fall Fashion Weeks. Below is a graphic representation of the color pallets used across every designer showcased in each city. You can see the New York scale tipping in the family of grays and blues, while London is hiking it up with reds and oranges. Milan went muted while Paris went bold. Take a look back through the catwalks to see how each city brought these hues to life.

Strapped. Cinched. Studded. WM on Belts.
Today’s belt options are literally limitless. While some wearers cover their belts with a top, some take the chance to display elaborate pieces of mid-torso artwork with this practical accessory. For me, there is no better way to accentuate your waist or your wears. A simple cruising of Google images can quickly land you on a bulging, over-sized Christmas wishlist. So, we’ve gathered a few favorites, and posted below the top buckles and bridles. Readers, how do you keep your pants off the ground?

2. Gold Cassette Belt Buckle by Vanessarap
3. Computer Mouse Belt Buckle by GettingWeddy
4. Upcycled License Plate Belt Buckle by HalfMoonRoad
5. Stained Glass Mosaic Belt Buckle by AimeezArtz
6. Flask Belt Buckle by Armourdillo
7. QR Code Belt Buckle by Fluid Forms
8. Yellow Bird by FlightPathDesigns

WM Events Lunching Above Town!
As you might have noticed from our Twitter yesterday, we joined some wonderful wedding planners for a luncheon at the top of the Melia Hotel in downtown Atlanta. The 360 degree views of Atlanta were extraordinary! Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres preceeded a fashion show of wedding dresses from the Randi Lawrence Moore Couture Wedding Gown Salon. Then, we all sat down for a delicious lunch- which ended with an even more delicious cupcake! It’s always nice to visit with other planners and industry professionals to suggest tips, to share triumphs, and to dish on bridezillas.
Undoubtedly, the best part was when I won a $50 gift certificate in the raffle!!! Thanks so much to Lois Bourne for hosting a great event. Everything (the decor, the linens, the candles, and the printing) was right on point.

Garden Week at WM Events: SeedBallz
We’re kicking off Garden Week to celebrate all things horticulture at WM Events. And first up on the agenda is a fun and quirky alternative to a plain packets of seeds from Home Depot: SeedBallz. These spheres are packed with a blend of rich organic humus, a whole packet of seeds, and clay to offer you a new way to grow wildflowers and herbs. What’s even better is that the company has partnered with developmentally disabled workers and created an innovative and therapeutic opportunity for their employees.
Many of the SeedBallz include a variety of seeds in one ball; some annual, some perennial. They don’t need to be thinned, and will come back once they are established and allowed to re-seed. These SeedBallz, which come in 15 varieties, are perfect for producing clusters of flowers and herbs in one area. The basil mix, for example has 4 different varieties that are sure to add some spice to your cooking.
A great branding scheme, a noble business plan, and an innovative product make SeedBallz an excellent party favor.

Cultivating Mushrooms Indoors and Out
A trend gaining momentum in gardening and cuisine these days is ready-to-grow fungus kits. The entire kingdom can basically be grown in your backyard or on your counter top. With companies like Fungi Perfecti, Earth’s Tongue, and GMushrooms, growing your own fungi has never been easier- you basically just add water! You can buy one of these Mushroom Culitivation Kits which range from $18 to $40, depending on the variety and size. You can even recycle and compost the indoor kits because they grow in organic substrates like wood chips or sawdust. So the next time you need the perfect ingredient for your favorite recipe, or the cure for cancer, (or just want to look at something pretty) pick that fungi out of the ground and dig in!
