Goodbye, February! Hello, March! - Fort Collins Wedding Association

Posted on March 4, 2014

We hope you all have had a wonderful February! Many of you might already know that Feb is deemed the ‘Creative Romance’ month. For reasons, like Valentine’s Day, it’s not a big stretch to see why; However, we know that every event takes creative planning and dedication and what better way to draw motivation for such a feat than looking at February – The Creative Romance Month! We think this idea of ‘Creative Romance’ can translate into planning other events all year round.

On the romantic side of things, there are so many ways to translate this idea into an everyday event. Date nights are not confined to Valentine’s Day and it is time to transcend that traditional view. Picture this, you’re planning a special date night at home for your significant other. Instead of the same kitchen table they get to see everyday, why not up the ante and rent a specialty linen and runner to enhance the creative and romantic feel. Not sure you have the creative energy that it takes for such a thing, don’t be afraid to ask for advice! Members of our creative sales team are ready to help you put together the perfect look for your special eventing.

A few tips to help with the creative process:

1. Make plans early.

Nothing is worse than realizing what you envisioned in your head is no longer possible, because the items you wanted have already been distributed to other events. Giving yourself enough time allows for that creative boost and even if you change your mind, there is still time to.

2. Go a little out of your comfort zone.

If you aren’t usually too creative, branch out and coordinate with our sales associates for a unique look that will show the time and effort put into the night you have planned.

3. Don’t limit yourself to being “romantic”.

The ideas listed above can be duplicated for any event. Don’t let our translation of ‘creative romance’ make you forget that creativity is not limited to the romantic side. Any event demands a unique touch and here at RC Special Events, we can help you find what you are looking for!
