Table Shape and Size

Wedding table arrangementThe choice between square, rectangular and round tables is almost completely an aesthetic one.  In general, most rental companies' prices are very similar for an 8' rectangular table and a 60" round one, both of which seat about 8 people.

A Vintage Hollywood Inspired Wedding

Vintage Hollywood WeddingThe Vintage theme remains popular for 2012, and here is some quick inspiration for you!  Consider a classic colour scheme of red, white and black, add feathers for texture, and hang vintage champagne posters on the walls to carry the theme to every surface.  Red roses or white carnations are a classic choice for bouquets and centerpieces, and don't forget LOTS of candlelight for ambiance.  Presto - you've got a vintage Hollywood inspired wedding!  Happy planning!

My Favourite Non-Floral Bouquets

In the past couple of years, non-floral bouquets have been gaining popularity among trendy brides.  As a Planner, I love the opportunity these funky bouquets provide to incorporate aspects of my couples' personalities.  For example:
  • musicians could include paper flowers made from sheet music
  • people who sew could make pretty fabric blooms
  • jewellery makers could hand-bead gorgeous flowers for a blingy bouquet
  • heirloom brooches and pins can be used to incorporate the couples' heritage
  • inspired chefs could create bouquets from herbs or berries

Things to Know for your Wedding Rehearsal

How to run a wedding rehearsal

If you are running your own wedding rehearsal, and don't have a coordinator there to help you out, here are a few quick things to take note of so that the rehearsal proceeds smoothly, and your wedding party knows what they're doing:



1.  The Ushers/Groomsmen
The groomsmen often do double-duty as ushers, but if you have separate ushers, ask your groomsmen to stay with the groom and keep him calm prior to the ceremony.  Give the following list to your ushers/groomsmen prior to the rehearsal:

Preventing Wedding Dress Stain Stress

fun beach weddingToday I'm happy to share with you the beautiful beach wedding of Tanya and Brett, a positively stunning couple who were a ton of fun to work with.  I always feel blessed when I connect with a couple, and they become friends rather than clients.  Tanya and Brett are so fun and outgoing that it's impossible not to love them both! 
 
I met Tanya and Brett about two years ago.  They were looking for someone to help them plan their casual, fun, beach wedding.
