Ring in the New Year with a Wonderful Wedding!


Hello, everyone! We at Yazzie & Co. hope that your holiday season is going extremely well. Since the end of the year is less than two weeks away, we think that having a New Year’s wedding is the perfect way to celebrate new possibilities in a way that will be symbolic and enjoyable to everyone involved. Exchanging heartfelt vows as your guests pledge to carry out their resolutions will inspire all to gain a new perspective on life and love together. So, how to put together this sensational celebration of new life on one of the most memorable occasions of the year? Read on for some great tips on how to pull off a fabulous New Year’s wedding!


You can begin by thoroughly compiling your guest list. After narrowing it down to those that you’d love to share your big day with, send out your invitations at least three months in advance to allow your guests to mark their calendars for the special occasion. While almost any location can be transformed into a glamorous wedding setting, we think that a reception hall or a heated rooftop space would make for great picks for a New Year’s wedding. Whatever locale that you decide to choose, you should reserve the space for the night allow for an evening wedding and the customary ball-drop at midnight. Not only will your guests share in the love that the New Year promises, you’ll also be free to carry on throughout the night without having to acquiesce to the next wedding-party-in-waiting.


A New Year’s wedding is also a great chance to go full-scale on the elegance and sophistication by adopting a glamorous black-tie theme. While many weddings have been planned as such on any day of the year, there’s something magical about the anticipation of a new beginning amid the glitz and style. You can demonstrate that by decorating your space with bold black, gorgeous gold, and splendid silver while including radiant red roses and wonderful white roses. The groom and his groomsmen will look splendid in debonair black tuxes, while the bride and her bridesmaids are guaranteed to glow in long satin gowns and glittering jewels. To cap off the overall cosmopolitan look of the evening, include tasty hors d'œuvres and sparkling gold wine as a part of your New Year’s wedding menu.


In turn, you can present your guests with some of the most sumptuous party favors in honor of your new life together and the New Year. While small champagne bottles are always a winner, you can also be creative by gifting your guests with chocolate fortune cookies that include New Year’s wishes or little silver or gold bells that are emblazoned with your new married name and husband’s name to ring in the New Year. If you’d like to show your bridesmaids your gratitude, you definitely can’t go wrong with hooking them up with one our Yazzie & Co. bridal tees. One thing is for sure in having a New Year’s wedding: you’ll surely be blessed with a night to remember!


Happy New Year,

Yay or Nay: Is Hiring a Wedding Planner Right For You?

Hi, ladies! Have you been debating whether you should hire a wedding planner? Perhaps, you’ve been wondering why you should hire a bridal consultant. Whichever sides of the fence you’re standing on; this is where we at Yazzie & Co. come in. In this blog, we aim to lay out the facts about bridal consultants so that you can make the best decision about your big day.


The first thing you need to consider before hiring a wedding event planner is the one issue that is tantamount to your entire wedding: your budget. You need to decide whether you are prepared to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on hiring someone to help plan your dream day. While some wedding planners offer package fees for certain services, it is generally customary to spend 10% to 15% of your overall budget for your wedding on their services. Another issue that may arise is whether you are willing to trust a wedding planner handle important details of your big day. If you are the type of person who prefers to have complete hands-on influence in organizing your wedding, then hiring a wedding planner may not be for you. If the thought of not having a say in every single step they decide to take in ensuring they deliver in planning the wedding that you want, then hiring a wedding planner may not be for you.


That being said, a wedding consultant is the best choice if you want the dream wedding to come true without barely breaking a sweat. With their experience in everything bridal, you would be putting your hopes and dreams for your big day in extremely capable hands. Whether you want an extravagant ceremony or a small event with a low-key honeymoon, the bridal coordinator will steer you through every single step of the wedding planning process. They can accomplish the impossible while making the process fun because of their bridal know-how and valuable wedding vendor connections. If the thought of organizing a wedding amid the craziness of life proves too overwhelming, then a wedding planner is just the person to keep your head above water.


Whether you decide to hire a wedding event planner or not, we highly suggest that you figure out which side of this fence you stand on and whether you’re willing to cross it. While any advice from family and friends is definitely recommended, you should do your own research on the bridal consultants that are being considered. Ultimately, we at Yazzie & Co. strongly believe that you should never lose sight on your vision for one of the most important days of your life. Wedding planner or no wedding planner, you deserve the best for your wedding day.


Until Next Time,

Seasons of Love: Planning That Perfect Wedding

Hey, guys! Timing is everything and we at Yazzie & Co. want to make sure that you choose the time of year for your wedding that speaks to you as a person. Thus, we are dedicating our latest blog entry towards helping you choose your ideal season to jump the broom. After all, it’s only fair that you consider the beauty of a winter wedding, spring nuptials, a summer ceremony, and a fall marriage before making this vital decision.





With Christmas around the corner, it’s only fitting that we start off with suggesting a winter wedding wonderland. While the cold weather can be daunting to some, it also presents the perfect opportunity for an old-Hollywood style celebration. The magical glow of the falling snow will definitely complement a white and red rose-decorated location. Choose an antique manse to get married in while making an entrance in the finest white silk dress and matching fur wrap and you will definitely make it a wedding to remember.





If you want your big day to represent a rebirth, then we suggest that you look into having your wedding in the springtime. While the unpredictable weather can be a bit trying, the promise of a new beginning will inspire you to express that with a pastel color scheme in a majestic church – a la Easter Sunday. What’s better, you will have a wider pick of vendors, for spring isn’t as busy a season as summer. Include fresh foods like apricot delicacies and baby asparagus and your special day will surely stand out.



While summer’s warm weather makes it the top season to get hitched, it is the endless choices in wedding venues that you have to look forward to. From a beautiful celebration in the park to a sunset wedding on the beach, there are countless ways to prepare an elegant bridal ceremony. In addition, you can dress your bridesmaids in classy cocktail dresses or simple strapless numbers. Truly the most relaxing time of the year, a summer wedding represents peace and tranquility.



Last, but not least, an autumn wedding is ideal for those who want the special occasion to symbolize intimacy. If you’re determined to avoid the hoopla of an overblown celebration, you can have your wedding at a cozy inn or simple vineyard. Decorate your bridal location with fall jewel tones such as red and orange, while offsetting them with neutral hues such as cream and off white. Delicacies such as warm apple cider and pecan pie will complete the warmth of a fall wedding.


We’ve shown you the best that each season has to offer; now it’s up to you to plan that soulful wedding that brings the best of your sophisticated self. Keep checking us out at Yazzie & Co. and we will continue to provide great tips on how to have your ideal wedding.


Until Next Time,
