Trust me

Let’s face it…it’s hard to hear the truth. When you have something set in your mind and you believe that you know the right way to do it and how much it should cost, you do not want to be told something else. That said, if that something else could make for a better outcome, a more valuable end result and one that caused far less stress than the alternative, who amongst us wouldn’t trust the expert?
fabulously 40

while we weep for weddings (in a good way!) and adore mitzvahs, nothing says party like the big 4-0. we have done a lot of 40th birthday bashes over the years, and each one is just as spectacular as the next. what makes them so fun is the group of people chosen to surround them [...]

The leaves are falling, the temperature is dropping and it’s my personal favorite time of year to throw a party. I am always inspired by the gorgeous autumn colors and smell of fall. What’s more, October always ends with one of the best excuses to celebrate creatively: Halloween! We have clients who look forward to [...]

in my last blog, i shared with all of you the photos and videos of our june wedding in sioux city. these images captured the event day-of as it unfolded, from getting ready to ceremony and on to the dinner + dance.
today, i would like to share with you an incredible video of what took place BEFORE the big day. from erecting the tent and laying the floor to styling the space and creating floral centerpieces. so many people worked so hard to make this event happen and we are thrilled to share their hard work with you.

At Amy Zaroff Events + Design, we are in love with all things vintage. Check out this recent design we created for one of our brides.
The bride chose a pineapple to incorporate throughout her accessories along with an inviting color combination of turquoise, yellow and royal blue. As explained on the postcard, the pineapple is known as the universal symbol of a warm welcome, good cheer and hospitality. It certainly sets the tone for her guests.

here at amy zaroff events + design, we have had a busy spring and summer. i cannot wait to share all the amazing images with everyone and today we start!
this wedding took place in june, on the missouri river which separates iowa and nebraska. so, the ceremony was in one state and the reception in another. from the beginning, the plan was to erect a tent to hold their 300+ guests. along the river was our ideal spot, but the summer flood of 2011 had different plans. a week before the big day, the rising waters forced us to move our tent to an alternative location. the venue and all vendors rose to the challenge and created what became a magical event.

We’re happy to announce the latest from Lucious Verde.
A new Bar and Bat Mitzvah album has just arrived with what we believe are the most trendy and clever looks. As the gals from Lucious Verde explain it, this is “a line of fashion driven colors and patterns with subtle hints of glitz and glamour.”
Inspiration to Reality

We decided to create a modern take on a traditional pattern to add some drama and visual interest. We always say, “the invitation sets the tone for the event.” This client not only wanted to incorporate her wedding colors into her invitation, but set the tone for the formal affair.
The invitation had a pocket on the back to hold all the details for the wedding. In the pocket we decided to have the design continue on each piece as they stacked on one another. That way all pieces interact with one another.
Word of Mouth

For those of you who follow me regularly, you have all heard me say before that “All you have is your name.” Today, more than ever, our brand is only as good as our last job, our web site, and the buzz that follows us. In a world that is so bombarded with social media, advertising, emails and hype, the actual human connection is truly all that sets us a part from one another in business. It is the look on a person’s face, the tone of their voice and the hug received following a job well done that makes it all worthwhile. It is the answers to the following questions that allow word of mouth to then be so powerful to the future success of our business.
