$25,000.00+At Cole Drake Events, our design philosophy is more than a formula; it's a source of inspiration and motivation for our team. We are driven by a passion for blending diverse aesthetics and the natural elegance of landscapes to craft celebrations that are both deeply romantic and stylishly modern. This approach fuels our creativity and allows us to continually push boundaries, crafting designs that immerse guests in refined, sophisticated spaces adorned with lush, organic details.
Moving in to the next wedding season, we suggest focusing funds to experiences and meaningful choices for guests rather than disposable items. Instead of wedding favors at the event, as many favors get left behind or thrown away, consider a donation to a favorite charity or offer welcome bags in guests' rooms. Additionally, skip single non-organic items like confetti, balloons, or plastic decor, which add up in waste.
Our top tip for couples is to embrace their destination location. Whether it’s wines from the region (like Napa or Sonoma Wine Country), Italian villa views, or Caribbean sunsets, incorporating regional offerings and local decor elements adds a bespoke touch to your event.
