Dashing Wedding Decor Pt 2

*** Big Announcement, Stacie Sanders, founder of The SASsy Report, will be featured on tomorrow's episode of I Found the Gown on TLC @ 10:30EST!***

Hello again, and thanks for joining us for part two our our dashing wedding decor series.  There are so many ways a bride can achieve the look for her wedding she's always dreamed about.  

Below are some of our favorite wedding decorations from Pintrest and tips on to create the look for your wedding!

White, Gold and Glam

This look was created by using gold chairs and a mixture of high and low centerpieces on medium length rectangular tables surrounded by gold place settings and candles. The dramatic chandelier in the center of the room, adds a touch of drama and completes the look.


Simple Yet Sophisticated:

This simplistic, yet classy look can be created by using tea lights and varying heights of floral bouquets thus creating a clean and elegant look for your wedding.


Amazing Aisle Arch

This look is for the bride who wants to make a very dramatic entrance at her wedding! To create a look like this, you will need to line the aisle with tall, matured, flowering trees in the color of your choice. At the base of the trees, place tons of flower bouquets (hydrangeas work wonderfully for this) and surround them with up-lighting to complete the dramatic effect.


Fabric Draped Romantic Ceremony

This clean and simple design adds a bit of sophistication to an outdoor ceremony space. By draping rows fabric over the guest seating and adding a ring of flowers at the top of each crest, an outdoor space can be transformed into a magical fairy tale like setting. Adding lighting to existing trees,  completes the look and ads an element of romance!

Sassy Statement Making Decor

This modern table design will definitely give your guest something to talk about!  The bright red color, usage of tulips inside of tall vases topped with rose mounds encased with orbiting rings of green leaves is a super creative way to achieve a modern yet elegant and sassy look for your wedding.

Elegance with Sparkle

Try leveraging your table linens to add a pop of drama and sparkle to your reception without going overboard. The flowers in this look were kept simple and allowed the table linens to be the glamorous shows stopping piece for the wedding decor.

Total Glam Long Table Setting

This look is a wedding florist dream come true!  Every inch of this table has been decorated with flowers.  From the custom linens and chair covers to the hanging crystals from the tall vases topped with huge mounds of flowers, this look will leave your guest in awe of the beautiful decor at your wedding!

Romantic Elegance

This is this perfect look for the bride who wants a romantic and elegant look for her wedding.  The usage of various colors and textures of flowers create the perfect ambiance for a romantic reception celebrating the love between the bride and her groom.


We hope these decor ideas provide you with inspiration for the sassy and sophisticated wedding of your dreams!

Ask a Bride: Stacey's Jewish Wedding in Florida

Hello, and welcome back for another edition of "Ask a Bride."  This week, we talk to bride-to-be Stacey, who is planning her Jewish wedding in Florida while living in NYC. She share some highlight from her wedding planning process thus far!

SASsy: Hi Stacey, congratulations on your engagement!  How has the wedding planning process going for you?

So far so good! I have 14 months to plan, since the time I got engaged so it was busy at first locking down the big stuff, and now it is a little quieter until it gets closer. Also, my mom has been helping a lot since the wedding is in Florida, where my family lives.

SASsy: Giving yourself enough time to plan is something that we've heard a lot from brides so we think 14 month engagement is perfect! Where and when and how large will your wedding be? 

My wedding will be in Palm Beach, Florida in March. We are expecting about 175 people.

SASsy: Planning a wedding out of state can be challenging, how have you gone about managing all of the details long distance? 

My family has been very helpful throughout the process. Especially my mom. She just helped plan my sister’s wedding 2 years ago, so she is a pro now! My fiancé and I fly down every few months, so when we are down there, there is a lot of wedding planning going on.

SASsy: I bet!  I'm assuming you picked your venue on one of your trips to Florida. How did you know your venue was perfect for your wedding? 

We saw about 5 venues the one we chose was the last one. We just felt it when we saw it. It was so different and beautiful. Just felt like us.

SASsy: Have you selected your dress yet, and if so what styles were you interested in?

Yes, I got a strapless A-Line dress!

SASsy: How many stores did you go to before you found the gown? 

I went to 4 stores,  3 in Florida and 1 in NYC. I ended up getting the dress at a store  in NYC.

SASsy: What has been your biggest challenge so far in planning your wedding? 

Right now it is keep the guest list down. Once the families combined all their guest lists, we realized we were a bit over (even considering those who wouldn’t come). Our venue is not that big, so we need to make sure we land at the right number.

Managing the guest list is one of the most common wedding planning challenges

SASsy: What did you find to be the most helpful resource when choosing your vendor?  How did you evaluate your vendors? 

We went mostly by word of mouth (friends and family who knew of past weddings and events). We evaluated based on location, size, appearance, food, price, and what felt the most ‘special’.

SASsy: Are you incorporating any Jewish traditions into your wedding?  if so, can you share with us what you will be doing?


Doug and I will be incorporating a few Jewish traditions into our wedding. During the ceremony, we will be getting married under a Chuppah which is a marriage canopy that symbolizes the couples first home. 

Jewish Chuppa

Doug will also be doing the traditional breaking of the glass (stomping on glass). There are several interpretations of why this is done from the reminder of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem to  symbolizing the love of the couple and how fragile it can be so it must be cared for and not broken.

SASsy: What have you enjoyed the most about being a bride-to-be? 

All the excitement of what is to come. The planning has been fun, but a bit stressful, but in the end I know I will be married to the most amazing guy so it is all worth it!

SASsy: Do you have any surprises planned for your guests? 

The venue itself will definitely be a surprise for our guests as it is so different.

SASsy: What’s the best piece of advice you can share with other brides- to-be? 

Don’t sweat the small stuff. In the end everything will be perfect. People get so caught up in the craziness sometimes and forget what the wedding is all about…getting married.

We will be sure to follow up with Stacey after her big day in March!
