Tiffany Cook Wedding Talk: Sit-Down Dinner or Stations?

In any wedding, food plays a major part, it is also a great way to include the couples cultural backgrounds along with the couples personal taste and style . The first big choice you'll make as you plan your dinner is how to serve your guests: a plated dinner or stations (more commonly known as the B word), which usually includes several salad, vegetable, starch & entrée options. The choice between the two comes down to formality, personal preference, and often cost. 

A plated dinner is considered the more formal option, as each guest is individually served. Stations on the other hand in the past were considered less formal however there are super cool ways to offer interactive stations that can fun stylish and equally as formal. Tiffany has even designed station reveals as a decor aspect and opened the stations as courses.  

Despite their differences both allow you to personalize what your guests eat whether you decide for them or offer them to choose themselves. The sky is the limit so get creative and have fun with your menu, your guests will love you for it!

Wedding Talk: Engagement Photo Sessions

Atlanta Falcons WR Harry Douglas and his fiancee Kierra Anderson take to the field for their engagement session before their wedding planned and designed by NFL wedding planner Tiffany Cook of Dream Design Weddings.

While some couples skip having an engagement session, we highly recommend it to all of our couples!

If you think about it, you're going to spend more time with your wedding photographer than anyone else on your big day. So it's a great way to get to know your photographer and his shooting style instead of having to worry about it the day of your wedding. Also, it allows you to get comfortable and relax with the idea of a camera being there 24/7 on the day of your wedding, which definitely allows you to be yourself and not so self-conscious. 

The best part of e-sessions? The chance to personalize them! Not only should your photos reflect who you are as a couple, but also appear natural. Are you high school sweethearts? Why not roam the halls of your old high school? Or do you and your fiance love cooking together? Why not have the session in your kitchen? Whatever you and your fiance choose to do remember to have fun and relax!
