Planning tip!

When you start planning your wedding it is a great idea to start a free email with someone like gmail or hotmail that you use specifically for wedding information.

1. This way your contracts won't get intermixed with your personal email
2. You can have access and so can your fiance
3. After your wedding you can ignore the vendors who continue to email you
* we don't do that...but some do! Vista Print is the worse!!

You can also do a blog with information about your ceremony, reception, where you are registered, and post your engagement pics.

Happy Planning!

2010 Wedding Trends

Backyard Weddings at Home
These days it is very important to my clients to cut unneccasary funds where they can. If you have a family memeber or friends with some property, why not have a smaller ceremony on their land where you don't have to follow typical rental hall rules. See my post about picnic themed weddings as well for more ideas.


Homemade Wedding Favors
This one is fun! Why not take a candel making class or find a cute how-to project at your local craft store to do with your bridesmaids. It is more meaningful to you and if you do something that represents you and your fiance, it will mean more to your guests as well.


Birdcage Veils
These are a long time love of mine! Amazing with the right dress. We did a post on them not too long ago. Etsy has some great shops with origional designs for any type of bride.


Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses
I was in a wedding a couple years ago ( our year of 15 weddings in 11 months that my family was invited too including my big bros wedding!) where the bride picked the color of the dress at David's Bridal and then we all picked a different style. I like this idea because your size 4 bridesmaid and size 14 may not look the same nor feel comfortable in the same dress.


Strapless Wedding Dresses
These have been popular for years but this 2010 they will still hold the brightest candel in brides eyes. Try David's Bridal or Wedding Bell Bride if you are in the Tacoma area..both are great!

Butterfly Themed Events

Currently I am working with a fun bride to be that loves butterflies! We have Incorporated them on the cake, released at the ceremony, in the floral arrangements, the place cards for seating, and the favors. I feel like it is something that can be overdone very quickly though.

I love this cake because it is super simple with the all white but so cute with the butterflies. This particular cake has fake butterflies on it but you can have your baker do them out of edible sugar if you want the whole cake to be eatable.

Lanterns are really popular right now and this look is great for an outdoor event or for something more simple like a bridal shower or birthday. This is easy to make yourself as well. You can buy the lanterns and just attach the butterflies with superglue. Fun to make and cheaper than going out and buying one that is already done up!

This picture I just love! What a great look for a small reception or bridal shower!

Centerpieces

One of my favorite parts of planning a wedding is the centerpieces! This part really allows you to show your style and be creative.


Love how the green is so dominate and the pinks just offset it enough to make it not too green. The square plates give the look a more modern touch and the green chairs are just fun!

Hydrangea's are one of my favorite wedding flowers. You can use them for so many things and since they are larger you don't need as many. These vases with the paper wrappings are a great diy as well!
