All these innovative trends have inspired <a href="http://www.srqteesevents.com/" target="_blank">SRQtees</a> to wrap up the summer with a top ten check list! The little black list below will guide you in accessorizing your wedding day, inspire you to add flair to your next occasion and give you confidence to update your wardrobe and/or home.<br />
<br />
Enjoy, get inspired and remember, plan with personality! <br />
<br />
The Little Black List:<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6;">Chevron Prints</b><span style="color: #0b5394;">-</span> You cannot get any simpler than this zig-zag geometric print that is making a mark across the country. Chevron can be found in every color and almost everywhere you turn. I have seen the print on pins, straws, invitations, cakes, bunting banners and in homes. My friend just opted for chevron print curtains and I have my eye on a fabulous rug. Chevron is definitely the perfect pattern to play around with this season!<br />

<b style="color: #3d85c6;">Bunting Flags-</b> Chic is back and what better way to express yourself than with an awesome strand of flags. Perfect to hang at a baby shower, intimate ceremony, birthday party, etc. You can even get creative and customize your banner. Many brides are opting to add letters to their banner to create an extra special way to say "Thank You". Unique and fun for sure!<br />

<b style="color: #3d85c6;">Chicness-</b> How do you define chicness? We continue to come across the word chic, as well as rustic. What does this phenom truly mean in the wedding industry...fashionable, stylish and timeless. Simplicity with a touch of flair! Keep your event organic, rustic and earthy by accessorizing accordingly. It is all about the details and final touches that bring together the chic feeling. What is great about chic, is that every bride can express themselves according to their loves and style, while also adding a touch of the traditional pieces. <a href="http://www.srqteesevents.com/" target="_blank">SRQtees</a> believes this combination is responsible for creating a timeless look. How do you define chic?<br />

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Mason Jars- </span></b>Need we say more! Mason jars are everywhere and boy are they a hot item. Who would think, a simple jar that you can find for less than one dollar. <a href="http://www.srqteesevents.com/" target="_blank">SRQtees</a> brainstorms every day, what can we do next with a mason jar and this is what we have decided to create so far; party favors, drinking glasses, flower arrangements, hanging candle holders, recipes in a jar, spice jars, herb gardens, storage, chandeliers, picture frames and a personal favorite, chalk board jars.

<a href="http://www.srqteesevents.com/" target="_blank">SRQtees Events</a>, cannot be happier with the way our fairy tale is unfolding. SRQtees began as an idea or perhaps even more like a dream, and today we can confidently say it is a "reality."<br />
As SRQtees launches into the Sarasota community and beyond, we could not be happier. A special thanks to Malin Parker from <a href="http://www.greenroomweb.com/" target="_blank">Green Room Web Design</a> for patiently laying my foundation, that we will continue to groom together. Local, Leigh Growney, owner of <a href="http://www.theshortgiraffe.com/" target="_blank">www.TheShortGiraffe.com</a> for her continued positive support. To Montana Ross-Taplinger and her confidence in me as a planner, was truly a blessing month by month, as her wedding became a masterpiece and put SRQtees Events on the map. My super star husband, for allowing me to follow my dream and my sister for reminding me to do what I love.<br />
