What Is A Timeline And Why Is It Important?

An event timeline is and hour by hour written description of an event and how it is supposed to take place in the eyes of those who are planning it. It is an important tool that coordinates all aspects, vendors, and guests. This tool is essential to the vendors and service workers who are in charge of the event from start to finish.

Without the details included in the timeline it would be extremely hard to keep an event on track. Also, often times guests need a little direction on where they are supposed to be and what exactly they are supposed to be doing. Having a timeline established helps the people you hire to direct your guests through the event and what to pay attention to. For example you don’t want the groom’s men taking off when they are supposed to be with the photographer taking pictures. Likewise you would not want your boss’s surprise birthday cake showing up early for an event that was supposed take place after work.

Not only is completing a timeline a great opportunity to understand exactly what a client envisions for the event but it is also a fantastic way to work out the kinks in timing and logistics as you visualize the event. There are tons of things that can go wrong with even the simplest of events. That is why it is essential to have a plan of action and for any savvy event planner that plan comes in the form of a timeline.

Here is an example of your basic wedding timeline

Summer 2010 Vibrant Table Designs

The atmosphere of a wedding is designated by its table designs, themes and colors. You can repeat the themes and colors used in other parts of your wedding in your tablescape designs. Tablescaping elements include such items as table linens, serving pieces, plates and glassware, flatware, flowers, candles, and decorative items. Tablescaping is one of the most important planning aspects of the wedding because it pulls the whole event together and gives it a sense of cohesiveness. The sky is the limit with your creativity however there are particular color tricks you can use to create a mainstream look.

First and foremost you should always choose colors and themes that reflect you and your fiancés’ personalities. Your wedding should play off of who you are as a couple and compliment the beauty and love you share together. Other important things to consider are the time of year, seasonal inspirations, the type of mood you hope to present, your specific venue’s existing décor, the activities you are planning and the number of guests.

Rental companies offer hundreds of colors to choose from but as a general rule of thumb it is best to limit your main colors to two or three. If you are having a hard time deciding what is best for you, a trusty color wheel can help. Complementary, analogous or monochromatic colors schemes are classics and will never fail. With that being said, there are specific colors which are known for certain times of the year. For example blue and yellow for spring, burnt orange and dark green for fall, gold and silver for winter, and vibrant pink and teal for summer. Alternatively, white, red and black are always classic, all of the time.

The above pictures are some of Savory Cuisines’ favorite tablescapes for summer 2010!

The first table features a dark base cloth, with a metallic overlay, embellished napkins, and an eclectic collection of antique glass. These items paired together create an elegant and earthy tablescape set in a modern downtown venue.

The second tablescape expresses a sense of a cool whimsical romance. Lavender overlays and silver napkins are grounded by a simple black lantern and a black base cloth. A few white and pink rose pedals scattered on the table finish this look off.

Summer orange napkins and base cloths are complimented by the light green overlay in the third tablescape. The wonderful simple fresh cut flowers centerpieces and pinecone name tags help pull this look together to create a warm homegrown Colorado feel.

Tablescape design is fun and easy when you have a plan and the resources. Savory Cuisines can help you formulate a design that will take your wedding or any other event to the next level. Savory Cuisines is Boulder Catering with style!

Fast Food Catering vs. Full Service Catering:

It is very important to choose the appropriate catering company for you and your event. Being realistic about the quality of services provided is your best tool when trying to decide between a full service catering company and a fast food or restaurant catering service.

Full service catering companies’ employee trained professionals who are capable of making any catered event a culinary experience. They provide scratch made food, fresh ingredients, expert equipment, specialized menus and a start to finish service while hitting the same price points as fast food catering services.

In the fast food and restaurant catering world, you get what you pay for. Often times their food presentation lacks the professional appearance many clients expect. Additionally the menus offered are limited and generic. Personal style and taste are often compromised for price.
