Buffet Cards
>> January 27, 2010
Ever been to a wedding and started going through the buffet only to realize you have no idea what anything is?? For me, it can be an intimidating thing that makes me end up with fruit, veggies, and bread only on my plate.
Check out the buffet markers I found from Place Tile. These are great to use to mark what dishes are or to point out which dishes may contain things that a good amount of people are allergic to, such as peanuts.

>> July 20, 2009
This past weekend I had the privilege of working with Eric and Allison on their wedding day as the DOC. They had a beautiful Buddhist wedding at Allison's Dad's Home in the Highlands in North Seattle.
After the ceremony they had cocktail hour on the terrace overlooking Puget Sound and then an Indian Food buffet with some Western food in it as well.
Allison wore her mother's wedding gown. She made a few alterations so it would fit her perfectly and I have to say she looked like a porcelain doll. Very beautiful!!
The reception was under a tent in the front of the home. It was also amazing and looked fabulous at night with all the candles and lights.
I was very happy to step in and help such an awesome couple!

Real Wedding: John & Jennifer Ceremony
>> May 3, 2009
Jennifer was a total DIY bride. She made the pomanders that you see on the sides of the pews and the boutonnieres and bouquets were made of clay by Debashri off Etsy. The topiary were ordered online and were beautiful! Love the column look in the back of the sanctuary!

LLE {hearts} Birdcage Veils
>> April 30, 2009
As I work with brides and hear all about the veils, the dresses, and the shoes! This part is so fun to me because I learn A TON about my brides style just by their actual look for the day. Lately I have been {hearting} the birdcage veils. I am not sure if it is the vintage chic look I like or the fact that you just don't see them all the time. Either way I {heart} them. Funny thing is with all the weddings and events I do, I can't wait to do my own. I am definitely thinking birdcage!
There are soooo many looks of the birdcage. I really like the ones with the flower accents over the ones with hats. Some brides can pull them off but the flowers seem so more feminine to me.
Another look I like is the one Jessica Alba used here with a birdcage in the front and traditional long veil in the back. Keeps the modern and traditional looks without overdoing. Very Classy!
You can get these just about anywhere but I really like etsy. They have some great looks and the designers on there are worth it! Read more...
Bouquet Toss....6 ways
>> April 27, 2009
Wish Come True Bouquet Toss -- Invite all the women onto the dance floor, married and single. Ask them all to make a wish right as the bouquet is tossed and whoever catches it will get their wish.
Fortune Bouquet Toss -- Invite everyone onto the dance floor and have a bouquet that consists of several small bunches of flowers are simply held together in your hand. On each bunch, have a handwritten “fortune” attached to it that you made up. When you throw the flower bunches in the air, they break apart so several people will get a “fortune” bouquet. Before throwing a break apart bouquet make sure they are easily separated and not entwined together so they really do break apart in the air.
Longest Married Bouquet Toss -- Invite all married couples onto the dance floor and have the DJ announce that everyone married less than 5 years to leave, then less than 10 years to leave and so on until the couple married the longest is left dancing and they are awarded with the bouquet. Keep in mind that this may not be the right bouquet toss for you, especially if you have a recently deceased grandparent that would have been married the longest if they were still living. This also focuses on married people and leaves out the single folks.
Special Honors Bouquet Toss -- Split up the bouquet into halves and give one half to your mother and one to your mother-in-law. The bridal bouquet could also be presented to grandparents, split apart for all the women in the bridal party, presented to your maid of honor, your sisters, a friend who is engaged, etc. Think of someone you’d like to honor and give it to them as a “good luck” bouquet.
Favors Toss -- Instead of tossing flowers, toss the wedding favors! Much like candy being tossed in a parade you can toss small or soft favors to the guests. Children can help in the fun, and everybody has a chance to get something. Candy, small stuffed animals, silly toys and gift cards are good choices.
Gift Cards & Money Bouquet Toss -- Rather than have fortunes attached to a break away bouquet, why not attach gift cards (from coffee shops, record stores, etc) to your bridal bouquet! Rolled up $1-$20 bills is also fun for everyone. You can invite everyone onto the dance floor, men and women alike. So rather than skip the bridal bouquet toss entirely, why not start your own tradition? Unusual tosses can be explained by your DJ, an appointed person or written in your program. Choose a bridal bouquet toss that is meaningful to you and don’t be afraid to simply present it to someone you care about.

Tattoo or No??
>> April 24, 2009
As a femael with a few tattoos, I do think about what they will look like when I get married and have on the dress. My boyfriends cousin got married last summer and the awesome bride has star tattoos on her back that you could see but it didn't look tacky or rediculous. I think if you have tattoos and they can be seen with your dress on, then ROCK IT! It's your wedding and the tats reflect your personal style. Agree or disagree?
DIY: Photo Centerpiece
>> April 23, 2009
This double-sided centerpiece is a tribute to the lifelong unions that preceded yours. The Paper + Cup kit is simple to use; affix two photos, image-side out, on each side of card-stock panels. Use seam binding to join each panel to the next, then add the decorative frames using glue or double-sided tape.
Inspire: Spring or Summer Wedding
I love the look of this wedding. The red and baby blue are not obvious colors that most would pair up but here they have done such a great job tying them together! BRAVO!

>> April 21, 2009
When mailing your invitations why not spunk them up some and add great wedding postage. My favorite place is WeddingStamps.net! They have a smaller selection, but they are fun and modern. Check them out when you are looking to mail your invitations!
Pomanders
>> April 20, 2009
Some love them, some think they are tacky. I personally LOVE them!
You can make them or buy them, even rent them if you wanted to. I have seen them made of tissue paper, fake flowers, and even wool flowers! This picture is great using a Sheppard's hook to hang the pomander in the isle of this outdoor wedding. They are great for table decor as well. You can hang them from the ceiling as part of your centerpieces, place smaller ones in a tall vase, or use them for bouquets. Be inventive and have fun with them!!

>> April 17, 2009
Spring and Summer bridal showers are a great time to use the fresh fruits that are in season for decor and flavors.
For centerpieces you can use slices of fruit in the vases, or whole fruits to surround the floral arrangement. In most candy stores you can but citrus shaped and flavored candies to put in boxes as favors. Citrus cocktails are also great for bridal showers. Be sure to check out our drink blog for more ideas.
Lastly, your cake. Not only can you have a hint of orange in your flavoring but why not use curls of fruit reins or slices to decorate it? Have fun and be creative with it!
This is a look that can be overdone, but with the right touches and flavors your citrus bridal shower will be a hit!!!!!
