Jessica is a senior at Old Dominion University. Her major is Park, Recreation, and Tourism Studies with a concentration in Tourism Management. After participating in the Disney College Program, she decided she wanted to work towards a rewarding career in the tourism and hospitality industry. With her over 10 years experience in the customer service industry, positive attitude, and willingness to learn new things, we knew she’d be the perfect fit for our internship program! “This opportunity has been an eye opening experience into the events industry. I have had the most amazing time being an intern at Waterford!” Jessica’s favorite part of her internship is having the opportunity be creative in her work and help with big events like The Summer Social.

As a Hampton Roads native she has been able to see hands on how the little things can transform a venue from every day to an extravagant wedding. “I have really enjoyed getting to meet all sorts of people and get to see how gratifying it is to see an event put together,” she said. Her favorite part of the internship has been the personal connections she has been able to make, her positive attitude and constant smile helps make her the great people person she is!

Waterford Wednesday – Linens for Every Budget

July 3, 2019 by waterfordevents Leave a Comment

It’s Waterford Wednesday!
As wedding industry professionals, we understand that each and every person has a different budget for their wedding, so it’s important to us to be sure we provide a wide array of linens at different price points. Today we’re going to show you how your event can shine with linens no matter the budget!

Modest

If you have a modest linen budget, there are so many different combinations that you can take advantage of, without going over. Napkins, of course, are always one of our favorite ways to dress up a table at a lower cost! Using one of our basic polyester linens is another way to make your tables look clean and put together without spending a lot of money. If you get lucky with a venue that will provide your base linens you could get away with renting some gorgeous table runners that could bring color and texture to your design at a lower price point as well!

Standard/Higher-End

If you’re a bride that has carved out a higher linen budget for your wedding, there is a lot more wiggle room to get creative with your design! The use of full length linens on every table comes into play, as well as the option of utilizing specialty linens on some of your more important tables such as your sweetheart and cake table. Plate chargers are another visually appealing product that you could think about including with a standard/higher-end linen budget!

Lavish

If linens are one of the most important components to you at your wedding, there are so many options to make your design look expensive and lavish! The option to use specialty linens on all of your tables comes into play, as well as napkins and plate chargers to bring the whole look together. You can experiment with layering different linens to add another interesting component as well. With a higher budget for linens and products, looking into renting chiavari chairs for your event is another potential possibility that will make the whole room look extravagant and thoughtfully put together!

Waterford Wednesday – Choosing The BEST Napkins

June 26, 2019 by waterfordevents Leave a Comment

Happy Waterford Wednesday!
Want to add a pop of color or extra detail to your table design? Napkins! Napkins! Napkins! They are inexpensive and can make a huge difference on your tables – small investment, huge impact! We’ve done a couple of posts in the past on our love for napkins, like the different folds you can create, some napkin inspiration, and why they are a great investment! So today we thought we’d discuss another important element of napkins: choosing the right/best kind for your event!

Quality IS Important

It’s true that napkins tend to be on the more inexpensive side of linens, but it’s important to make sure you are getting good quality napkins! While napkins are a beautiful addition to tables, they aren’t just there for looks! The right napkin should make guests feel comfortable knowing that they can clean up after themselves or wipe up any accidental spills. Another good thing about having quality napkins at an event is that they can match the rest of your decor impeccably to add to the atmosphere. Though it may seem like a small detail, knowing you have best quality napkins at your event is vital for the success of your occasion!

What To Look For

When you’re choosing event napkins, it’s important to figure out if you’d like napkins that are strictly for decor or napkins that are both fashionable and functional (we suggest option 2!). Functional napkins like polyester & satin make for easier clean up, while decor napkins (like sequin!) add a luxurious design element, but aren’t very useful when it comes to eating!

Waterford Wednesday: Special Sweetheart Tables

June 12, 2019 by waterfordevents Leave a Comment

Happy Waterford Wednesday, friends!

Today we’ve got a fun little post all about sweetheart tables and some cute and creative ways you can make these special tables shine a little more! Sweetheart tables are extra special because it is all about the newly weds! Here are three sweetheart table ideas that we love:

Love Seat

A great way to add a little extra touch to your sweetheart table is to seat you and your loved one on a comfy sofa or love seat together! Not only does this incorporate a vintage feel, but it also has the potential to add in a nice bold pop of color depending on the chair you go with! We loved how Antonia Christianson Events added this red chair into their design at A Crystal Clear Vision, it definitely made the whole design more romantic we think!

Florals

Floral arrangements are always such a statement piece when it comes to sweetheart tables, and we absolutely adore the floral runner trend that’s been happening lately! Using a floral runner creates a unique and visually appealing element to your sweetheart table that will definitely set it apart from your guest tables!

Signage

Table signage is a cute and easy way to show off your sweetheart table seats! Something as simple as “Bride” and “Groom” signs are great starter ideas for you to get creative, but there are endless options when it comes to ideas! We love “The Sail” and “The Anchor” signs that were used at an Outer Banks wedding a couple of years ago! It really spoke to the bride and grooms style and worked well into the overall theme of the event!

It’s another Waterford Wednesday!

With wedding season in full swing we have had lots of setups each weekend and we couldn’t help but notice how events really are all about the details! Taking the time to really pay attention to the little things really helps to create an extra memorable experience and ensure a cohesive look. One of our favorite, and easiest ways, is with napkins! Napkins are a really nice way to finish off any place setting by keeping things classy with a hint of fun! Whether adding a pop of color or a little texture with a spunky design, napkins are another great example of how the small things are still significant. We’ve gathered a couple of pictures for your daily napkin inspiration!

Waterford Wednesday ~ Runners Are A Must

May 22, 2019 by waterfordevents Leave a Comment

It’s Waterford Wednesday!

Today’s post is all about how little things can make a big impression! Table runners are one of our favorite ways to add a little extra spunk to any table and really are a great way to provide character and color to make any table design extra eye catching. They also work as great contrasts or backgrounds for any floral arrangements or centerpieces! Here are a few of our favorite, funky table runners:

Natural

Photography: Caitlin Gerres Photography

Our natural runners are a great way to spruce up any table! They are the perfect combination of classic, romantic, and chic so you can dress them up or keep it casual. These runners can bring a boho chic style with basic table linens or can really add a “pop” with any colored or textured table. Either way, the natural runner is a great accent to any design!

Velvet

Photography: Amanda Manupella

Another classy favorite of ours are our velvet runners! They come in an array of colors to choose from, the rose quartz runner here really shows the difference a table runner can make. Table runners don’t always have to be used to accent other pieces of the table, but can be used to celebrate the table itself! Whether keeping things simple or adding a fun color to the tables design, our elegant velvet table runners are great for any event!

Macramé

Photography: Caitlin Gerres Photography

The macramé runners are one of our favorite funky pieces! With a rise in rustic, beach theme, or bohemian inspired weddings these runners are the perfect edition. When paired with a basic table or a specialty linen it can really accentuate the table design. No matter what you’re looking for, our macramé runners are a great way to add texture to any table!

Sequins

Photography: Tara Liebeck Photography

We can’t forget about our Sequin runners! We love to talk about how much we love the sequins, but they really speak for themselves. Their modern elegance is guaranteed to make any table sparkle! We love that they can transform basic table linens into captivating table settings! If you are looking for that extra glam for your table, our sequin runners were made just for you!
