Color Scheme: Peach and Robin Egg
We love this unique color combination. There's something so electic-vintage about it, while still being clean, fresh and perfect for the season. Beautiful!

AWC Special Features!
It's been a busy spring already, setting a strong pace for the rest of wedding season. We're thrilled this week to have had two special honors given to us.
We're thrilled and thankful that our clients and fellow vendors helped vote us into the TOP FIVE WEDDING PLANNERS in St. Louis, according to KTVI Fox 2's Hot List. Thank you to everyone who voted!
There were 19 wedding consultants in St. Louis added to the nominees list, and it was an honor to be placed among these amazing companies. We strive to to give our clients award-winning service, so it's great to have been recognized. We're looking forward to the coming season and will be working our hardest to move up to the #1 spot!
We're also exciting to be a featured blog on the Saint Louis Bride Magazine Blog. Check out what Erin had to say about hiring a wedding consultant here.
Thank you so much to Saint Louis Bride for the opportunity, and for continuing to provide brides with the best, most up-to-date, information and trends in weddings!

Ask AWC: In A Peculiar Position
Dear AWC:
My fiance and I were discussing the ceremony processional and altar lineup for our bridesmaids and groomsmen. I think it would be aesthetically best to arrange everyone in order with the shortest coming in first and starting on the outside and the tallest coming in last and standing closest to us (with the exception of our MOH and BM). However, my fiance is worried that some of his closer friends, who are shorter) may feel like he values them less because of the outer positions.
Which placement style is better and how do we avoid hurting any feelings?
Thanks,
In a Peculiar Position
In a Peculiar Position,
While both processional lineup styles are used in weddings today, entering in order of height is perhaps the most common. Think of it this way, everyone in your wedding is close to you for some reason and therefore does not have to be given a specific distiguished placement. They know you care about them because you have given them the honor of standing with you during one of the most special days of your life.
If you are worried with hurting feelings, using height may be your best option. This is a tangible way to enter your attendants (with, as you noted, the exception of your BM and MOH). Using the other method, someone who believes they are closer to you than where you have placed them may result in an upset attendant. In the end, make sure you let each attendant know just how special they are with a nice, handwritten note attached to their gift during the rehearsal dinner. This will affirm your close relationship with them and show how much they mean to you.
Sincerely,
AWC
