We Believe in Hero's


Here at The Burlap Runner and Special Occasions East we believe in community enrichment, we believe in giving back and most of all we believe in hero's. Being a hero is more than just calling yourself one. It is about looking out for those around us, stepping up and helping out when you're needed and finding ways to come together as a whole to better the circumstances in which we all live. This is why The Burlap Runner and Special Occasions has opted to join in a giveaway to help promote the Hero Round Table conference that is being held in our nearby city of Swartz Creek, MI this coming November.

Top 10 Color Mistakes You Don't Want to Make


It was probably the first thing you did when you started planning your event, but choosing the right colors can be the most critical point of planning. Be careful not to make these top ten color mistakes!

1. Don't choose too many colors. - I know, I know. . you started off wanting a pink wedding, then the purples were pretty and the blues. . oh the blues. . trust me, as someone who also loves color I feel your pain. However, when planning an event it is best to choose one or two main colors and add one (possibly two) more as an accent, but be sure that they all coordinate together. Unless you are having a rainbow themed wedding, keep it simple. Too many colors will confuse your guests.


2. Pick and theme and stick with it. - Whether you have decided to go with vintage, classic or modern stick with it. Choose your colors appropriately. Hot pink and lime green are not going to fit into your classic theme.
