Movin' on up

Beginning May 1st, On the Nose Events is moving into a new office! We have great space by the East End Food Co-Op, off of Penn Avenue. Office warming party details to follow, of course.

Come on over and see us some time!

Something Blue

On the Nose Events is expanding! We are starting an exciting new part of our business - selling and renting gently used wedding decor. For now, we need help building up our inventory! If you (or anyone you know) is spring cleaning and looking to get rid of some extras, email nicole@onthenoseevents.com

We pay top dollar, in cash and will pick up. You can't beat that! Plus, you can feel good knowing that you'll be helping another bride have the wedding of her dreams without spending a fortune.

We are looking for any and all decor items, no lot is too big or too small. Talk to you soon!

On the Nose needs you!

We are looking for a bride-to-be or recent bride to do a little blog swapping. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in writing a few posts about your experiences, let us know! Email Nicole@OnTheNoseEvents.com and we can get started. Talk to you soon!

Wedding Hair

All over the runways of fashion week, models had embellished up-do's - this look is going to be huge for spring and summer, so why not incorporate it into your wedding look? There were some pretty out there looks that maybe don't have a place in the real world (copper wired braids, anyone?), but as usual, Chanel hit the nail right on the head with a super elegant style that works for everyone.

It would be so easy to DIY these by wire wrapping faux-pearl beads to the end of a bobby pin and gluing into place. So many possibilities!

Tissue Paper Pom Poms

Not only is this one of the easiest DIY projects of all time, it's also one of the cheapest! Tissue paper pom poms are a great way to fill up a lot of space on a budget, or just add a few pops of color to a stark room. Martha Stewart of course (of course!) has a wonderfully easy to follow step-by-stap diagram here, check it out!

I love the look of a wall covered in all different colored poms, just a few hanging from a garland or even one or two hanging over each table. You can expect to spend about 25 cents per pom, so the more the merrier! Making this is also a super soothing project to take on when the wedding stress gets to you. You can just pouf the night away while watching a movie. Storing these couldn't be easier - just keep them in a large garbage bag until the big day, then hand them over to your planner to re-pouf and hang for your reception. Adorable!

Mossy Monograms

I love the trend toward earthy and green weddings. The one thing that I keep seeing more and more large mossy-looking monograms. These monograms are whimsically personal and can be used to decorate almost anything! Have them grace the ceremony entrance, the reception hall, or even the back of the bride's and groom's chairs at the reception.

Talk to your planner, purchase monograms online, or make your own by cutting out letters from styrofoam or purchasing pre-made paper mache letters from a craft store. Spray-paint your letter(s) green and use hot glue or spray mount to affix the moss.

Etsy Crush

After you have spent hours deliberating over your invitations, shouldn't you send them off in style? When your guests open their mailbox and see these beautiful envelopes, they'll know that something special is inside. Check out the amazing work done by Calligraphy by Hillary:

I love the look paired with the vintage stamps, so charming!

There are several styles of handwriting available and the turn-around time is fast. Impress your guests right from the get-go!
