Real Royal Events: 40 Shades of Blue
September 30, 2015 • Events
Dear Royal Followers,
Who says a nice soiree at your home has to be boring?
We were contacted to design and style a surprise birthday celebration by a wonderful gentlemen for his sweet young lady who was turning 40. Our conversation during the consultation was quite amusing but long story short, we were able to understand his vision and bring that vision to life on this special day. Close friends & family waited for the birthday girl, whom was blind folded, to burst thru the doors. Once the blind folds were removed, she didn't even recognize her own home. We were able to transform the first floor of their living room space into a lounge style feel in order for guests to comfortably mix and mingle. Take a look at a few of the images captured from the event and be inspired! Contact us today for your complimentary consultation.

The real truth, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth || Average cost of weddings
September 23, 2015 • PSA
Dear Royal Followers,
This blog post is for anyone curious of average wedding costs in the U.S., whether you are a current bride, or will be one day, this is a great, informative read.
We are aware of many articles and publications that post the average amount couples spent in previous year's for their ONE day of the glitz, glamour, & glory (yes, we emphasized the fact that this is one day- don't go broke from it). We love for our couples to go all out and plan their dream wedding, however, lets be 100% real-please do not spend all your life's savings, take out loans, or any of that foolishness. Life continues the very next day and its never good idea to start a new marriage off in large debt due to just ONE day. With that being said, lets jump right into the statistics followed by what we, at Royal Events & Services recommend and advise our couples to follow.

CNN Money reported average wedding cost in 2014 at a whopping....
The numbers don't lie people. In fact, many couples we've encountered over the past few years are very new to this industry. Makes sense, especially if you are newly engaged. Many have extravagant dreams of how they envision their BIG day and those same couples turn around and say that their budget for 150+ guests is $10,000. Granted, we can work with any budget. We've done weddings starting at $5,000 up to over $100,000. Reality sets in when couples want the large WOW factor centerpieces for little to nothing. We do our best to provide our recommendations and stylistic point of view and yet still achieve their wedding dreams but within their budget. For example, instead of having ALL tall arrangements filled with large, opulent, florals consider alternating with something short and a little more cost effective arrangement. Alternating arrangements is nothing new. This has been trending for decades but many newly engaged couples just need to be set on the right direction.
There's so many money saving tips we as professional wedding planners are privy to so don't hesitate to contact us any time for our professional opinion or even a complimentary consultation.
Below, also from CNN money, captures the priciest spots to get married domestically based on 2014 rates. South Florida is on the chart rated #14 at approx. $37K which really isn't too bad considering the cost of living in SoFlo. At any rate, we hope this provides you some insight on your upcoming wedding planning. If you do want to make your wedding day memorable for your guests as we as yourselves, something's not even money can by-The experience, the great people/positive vibes, & the love cherished on your special day should be all that matters!

Real Royal Weddings: The Glitz & The Glam!
September 16, 2015 • Real Royal Weddings
Hiya Royal Followers,
In love with the peacock look? We've seen this theme used quite a bit as it is a popular design motif. We must say, its another one of those timeless, glamorous yet exotic looks for weddings. It never gets old; doesn't it play out. We love it every time we get a bride interested in it. Of course quite naturally when going with this fashionably look, the purple, turquoise and neutral color palette is typically used to bring the entire look together.
Here's some images from our recent Labor day bride whose vision came to fruition to perfection on her special day at the beautiful 1930 Grande Room in Ybor City.
Take a look and be inspired!!!
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Matthews!
Thanks again for allowing us to be a part of your special day!!!

Hiya Royal Followers,
It's been a while since we've posted one of our FAB Finds but we could not let another week go by without sharing this one!!! We realize since it’s the end of the week, we like to end it with a bang! Fab Finds are worth getting super excited about especially if it can save you money on any thing: from party preparation, travel plans, to DIY wedding projects. Fab Find Friday's will highlight fabulous findings (from accessories, to décor, to photography-something that we think may be useful to you that is at a ridiculously low and affordable price).
Why YOU, yes YOU, should consider hiring a travel agent for your honeymoon planning, destination wedding, OR just your wedding in general (especially, if you have guests traveling from out of town)???
Reason #5: Response time is AMAZING! Dynamite Travel is always accessible via email or phone and they are very responsive. Any question you may have travel related, its best to seek a professionals opinion. Even better to seek the opinion of someone who will actually respond right away!!!
Reason #4: Accessibility to group discounts: Dynamite Travel has access to thousands of dollars worth of group discounts from room/airfare rates to even excursions. We absolutely recommend that you contact them first before booking your trip independently as they can save you money and who doesn't want to save money???
Reason #3: No more drama from your grandmama! Have you had your Dear ole Grandmother trying to book the hotel using the link from your wedding website and calling you every 5 minutes for help? Or has 20% of your wedding guests waited to the last minute to book flights/hotels and call you directly to assist with these arrangements? Why add this unnecessary stress to your long to do list. Brides hear us and hear us well! Dynamite Travel will not only save you from these stressful scenarios, they can manage this process for you so you can move on to better things, like finalizing your wedding day look!
Reason #2: Its more than just one thing you get by choosing Dynamite Travel. Let them customize your wedding guests experience from the moment they touch down. Allow them to create a full day of things to do for your guests up until the actual wedding. If this is a destination wedding, this is definitely key as guests typically arrive a couple of days prior to the actual ceremony/reception.
Reason #1: The number one reason why WE recommend and vouch for Dynamite Travel! We've seen them first hand work their magic to make a bride's travel arrangements for her destination wedding seamless and stress free! In addition, they are very knowledgeable and know the BEST and COST effective destinations for hosting your wedding. Point, blank, you need someone who knows what they are talking about and someone you can trust!
That is why we go to Dynamite Travel for our own personal travel needs and recommend all of our brides/grooms to seek their assistance as well!!!
