Here are her thoughts about wedding trends for 2016...

As we roll into 2016, we will begin to see the most beautiful wedding trends of all time. This is the year we bring out the sparkle and glam with a unique touch. From the wedding dress all the way down to the color scheme, it all ties down to your special moment that you will remember for the rest of your life. Here are many loved details that you can expect for our 2016 weddings trends!

• The long sleeved wedding gowns are finally in! With the lace arms topping off these beautiful dresses, it gives you the romantic and vintage vibe that you have always been searching for.

• Cream-colored bridesmaid dresses are a go-to for many elegant weddings. This trend puts forward subtle beauty and adds great texture to the wedding party!

• Some brides are tossing the traditional veil and adding a floral headpiece to their look. It adds a perfect piece of natural beauty and is a huge trend for outdoor or rustic weddings! This piece will look stunning with any type of hair design you may be craving!

• Monochromatic color schemes are one of the biggest trends in 2016. Brides are finding that less is more- and all you need is one color- in a variety of shades! Try mixing up the centerpieces with a tone-on-tone explosion. Having a few different shades will create a gorgeous ombre effect at every angle.

• Ambience is the key to setting a romantic and intimate environment for your wedding. Both vintage and modern chandeliers with Edison bulbs will make this the perfect feeling that you have wished for.
• Fondness for fonts is your way to go! Having a delicate variety of fonts on your invitations will send out a fresh personality! Warm tones like rose gold and copper are the highest hit right now for 2016. From a simple stamp on the wedding invitation to a polished centerpiece, they have a unique way of expressing a feeling of comfort!

This is our time to express beauty and art into a visual effect for everyone to absorb. 2016 brides want the glitter, sparkle and glam to show off their beautiful glow on their wedding day! This is the year we want to make the best for you and the love of your life!

Our favorite moments from 2014!

2014 was filled with some of the most memorable events, learning experiences and some of the most beautiful events we have been able to be a part of in our career. We have added new staff, many new clients, we joined the Wichita Chamber of Commerce, joined the Knot.com. We had the great honor of providing decor for the Annual meeting feature Condolezza Rice and even update our logo thanks to Tessa Konen, owner of The Royal Script. were nominated for the Small Business Award this winter after going through one of the busiest Fall seasons yet! We are so thankful to have gained more fans/supporters who have encouraged us and promoted our work along the way.

While 2014 was amazing in so many ways, we did encounter some road blocks that allowed for some great opportunities for growth. We have a strong team and without them we could not have made it through  our Fall season. An emergency back surgery for me(Ashley), would not have even been possible without the leadership, patience and organizational skills of Aharon Hoopes. We learned a lot about what we were capable of in those two months and mostly how to handle difficult situations under immense pressure.

Aharon Hoopes-Lead Coordinator and EBA Manager

I am exceptionally thankful for a year to learn and make ourselves better for our clients and vendors. What a blessing it has been to produce over 40 events and know that in most of those events we have done, we had exceptionally pleased clients. We do everything we can to ensure that each and every event goes as smooth as possible!

The EBA team is looking forward to an even better 2015; serving some of the sweetest clients yet, while growing in ways we didn't dream possible. We get to launch a special event that will take the wedding industry in Wichita and Kansas City to the next level! So...here's to 2015!!!! To all of the adventure ahead of us, all the ways we will be challenged to grow and to the dear people we will have the honor of working with to ensure the best memories possible!

We are also pretty excited that one of our favorite colors(Note our logo!:) is the color of the year....MARSALA! Make sure you check us out at the January Bridal Show for some gorgeous inspiration.

So without further hesitation, here are some of our favorite pictures from our events this past year!
