Contagious Got Hitched!

We’ve been talking about it for a while now – Contagious Events pulled off its first wedding!

To be honest, since our inception, we never envisioned entering the wedding industry – we’ve always had our eyes set on smaller, in-home parties to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and special family moments and occurrences. But when two special friends asked for help with their wedding, we just couldn’t say no!

With just four short months to plan a destination wedding, we wasted no time working with the beach theme our couple, Daiana and Scott, selected. At our first meeting, it was clear starfish would be the inspiration behind the rest of the event design. While the couple worked on finalizing their guest list, we set off to create their wedding invitation suite and color scheme, which ended up being absolutely gorgeous – periwinkle blue, violet and of course, white.

As we mentioned before, we were a little apprehensive to enter the wedding arena: it’s a new field for us, and the pressure is even greater when it’s for friends as close as Daiana and Scott are to us. But we couldn’t have asked for better clients – they were open to all ideas, immediately told us what they liked and did not like and placed a lot of trust in our abilities. Daiana and Scott truly were Contagious Rock Stars, and we’re not just saying that because they’re friends of ours!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
