She Said Yes

 

She Said Yes Lyrics

Songwriters
DOYLE, JOSEPH A. / AKINS, RHETT

He never had given much thought to dancing
But she gave a lot of thought to being asked
Well hed never been good, coming right on out and asking
And shed never been given the chance

Something moved him cross that old gym floor
When fear was holding fast
And to his surprise the words came at last

And she said yes to his half hearted request
And they held on for dear life til the last song played
They wont let go its beyond their control
They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes

From that night on the fire was burning
And they sure did shine in its light
And he knew as long as the old world kept turning
He wanted her by his side

So with a ring and a nervous smile
And some lines that hed rehearsed
He said the sweetest words that shed ever heard

And she said yes to his whole hearted request
And they held on for dear life til the last stars fade
No they wont let go its beyond their control
They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes
They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes song meaning

Sand Ceremony

Sand Ceremony

 

The meaning of the ceremony is the blending of two -  the bride and the groom, into a single, inseparable unit that is their marriage.

Eden Gardens and My Magic Touch

Eden Gardens transformed for a wedding reception.

 

I LOVE WEDDINGS!

 

Contact The Celebration Place 850-215-7278 for discuss your wedding needs - coordinator, planner, decorator and rental equipment. We are waiting to hear from you.

New Chandelier

www.thecelebrationplace.com

We are always looking for new and fresh rental items and here is the newest creation! We have 3 of these chandeliers for rent and we can't be more excited. The pictures don't do it justice. Imagine these hanging in a tent at the reception as your lighting. We are also doing a lot with them in our 4 post bamboo and our 4 post chuppah archways. What a beautiful addition to our rental equipment! Call for pricing and details, 850-215-7278.

We did a wedding/bridal shower for a sweet friend this weekend and it was beautiful! We rent all things wedding- and man is burlap and lace my favorite. We can do as little or as much as you like and we are always willing to make things to enhance the look you are going for. Attached are some photos from this shower. These decorations will also be used for a rehearsal dinner coming up in October. These items were custom made and we can make most anything! It is a great idea to have something for all of the guests to sign because as the bride, she is not going to remember half of the people that were at the shower because it is so overwhelming! I also love a box for well-wishes. There is always so much experience and love in the room at a shower, why not capture it and keep it for the bride and groom to read all through their marriage. 

Another tip- you can always get fresh flowers from your local grocery store and assemble them at a very discounted rate vs. hiring a florist. If you want a specific flower or look then a florist is well worth it but for a casual look you can save a fortune! Always remember to give us a call at The Celebration Place to get these services and more!! 850-215-7278

2 sets of chairs or 1?

 "Do I need 2 sets of chairs?"

Well, again, as a rental company I would love for you to order 2 sets but of course that only makes sense if the wedding ceremony is far from the reception (and if you need to rent seating for both). We have a lot of options for chairs. We have white resin, brown resin, white padded, white wooden, beechwood, mahogany/pecan and benches. www.thecelebrationplace.com has a lot of pictures! You have a few options there for style so once you pick those you have to decide one set or two... here are some thoughts on that. 

1. We can provide you with 2 sets of chairs. This is great if you like one type of chair for your wedding and a different type for the reception or if your wedding and reception aren't easily connected. Also, if you don't want to pay us to move them or you don't have an audience who is capable/willing to move them. It isn't the easiest thing to do! You can hire us to set up both sets and clean up both sets. 
2. You can get 1 set of chairs and move them. The only disadvantage to moving them is that the older guests are going to have to wait for you to get them moved and set up. If you are on the sand it takes a little longer because it is difficult to carry them in the sand. If you do this your options are pretty much:
1. "Uncle Joe" and your cousins can move them as soon as the ceremony is over.
2. My crew can come and move them and set them up at the reception.

As always, we are always willing to help in any way. You just need to inform the receptionist when you order so we allow the proper amount of time and man-power to make it all happen! We like to set up at least 2.5 hours before the actual event to ensure that we have time for any hiccups, traffic delays or silly things that may happen. 

How Many Chairs?!

We are always asked "How many chairs should I order if I am expecting _____ people?" Well it has been my experience that people tend to order too many chairs. As a rental company I probably shouldn't encourage you to order less but I am also a planner/coordinator and I want what is best for my customers. If you sent out 150 invitations, you probably have a +1 for each person. You will probably only have about half or less of the people actually respond to the RSVP cards you so carefully picked out, stamped and are counting on. Then probably only 2/3 of the people who said they are coming will show so you are sitting there wondering how in the world do I order the right number of chairs?!!! Well that is a great question. There is no right answer but in my experience this is how you can somewhat determine how many.

1. If you are having a wedding in Panama City Beach and you and your family are from out of town, whoever sends the RSVP will more than likely come and your numbers should be pretty firm. I would suggest you get 85% of your audience there if not 95%.
2. If you live in Panama City and have a lot of out-of-town guests you can probably expect 1/2 to 2/3 of the people you think are coming to show up. There are always travel glitches or monetary reasons people can't make the trip even if they fully intend on coming. 
3. If you are from Panama City and most of your guests live in Panama City you can easily expect 3/4 to be there. Typically people will either forget or get invited to another wedding or get caught up n daily life and not show up but most will come because there isn't a lot of travel involved. 

I am not saying I know all and please don't hold me to these statistics but I sure do hope this is a helpful post! It is always better to have a few people standing than have half the chairs empty :) 

Should I buy my decorations or rent them?

The age old question- buy or rent? Well, I can tell you that I have seen a lot of customers come to my office who bought all their decorations and then tried to sell them to me! They always say "Man, if I had realized how much this would add up I would have just rented from you!" When you are looking for a house I think it is best to buy if you can so you are investing in your future. I have a few resources who can help you with that if you want their phone numbers :) However, with a wedding, are you ever going to use those 20 glass fishbowl centerpieces you paid $8-10 each again? Do you have a place or want to store them for 8 years until the next wedding in your family? Well, I can tell you that you can come rent them at my office for $2 to $3 each and never have to mess with them again!! I often hear brides say "I'm going to go buy my own tableclothes, yours are too expensive." My answer to that is to be sure that when you get them from UPS they will be all folded tightly into a plastic bag and your grandma is not going to be too happy when she has to iron them all! The money we charge for tableclothes pretty much goes into maintenance and ironing (which is something I personally hate to do!!). We have a staff of people who solely do the ironing of all our tableclothes, sashes and runners. 

This is the story for all of the equipment in my 3000 sq ft of storage warehouse space. We are stocked with all sorts of centerpieces, tables, chairs, linens, archways, candleabras (I mean tons!) and more. I am really into the wooden signs, burlap and lace, mason jars and those sorts of things. I joke a lot but I really feel like we could do all the weddings in Bay County and make every one of them different! 

Our warehouse is open 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday for all who want to browse. Address is 1569 Chandlee Ave. Panama City, FL. You can browse alone or we can accompany you to answer questions. I love to see all of my "treasures" in use so come in and tell us your ideas!

Here are just a few of the thousands of the items in the warehouse :)
