 The 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! |

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and were as blessed as I was! To those of you newly engaged, congratulations! If you're a first-time reader, welcome!
As tends to happen at the beginning of the year, there's been much talk in the wedding world lately of trends for 2012. Pantone has announced that the "colour of the year" for 2012 is Tangerine Tango, a juicy, rich and red-based orange that is sure to appear in many a wedding in 2012. |

 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

Becky and Joe ~ 07.09.11
 I was honoured to be asked to help Becky and her fiance Joe keep things running smoothly on their wedding day. With the help of her mom and sister, Becky had been working hard to make every aspect of her wedding special. She wanted someone there to make sure that each detail was executed according to her vision, and to keep the evening running smoothly. I was happy to help out!
Becky is a classic beauty, and had chosen a beautiful lace dress, to which she added a pop of colour with a navy sash and navy shoes with complimentary bling. |

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: |

 One of the benefits to hiring a wedding coordinator is
that she will come prepared with a very well-stocked emergency kit to deal with
any potential issue that could arise. My
kit contains everything from extension cords to extra black socks to duct tape
– and I’ve used all of it! But the part
of my kit that I use at almost every wedding is the stain-removal items. It seems inevitable that someone will
accidentally drop a lipstick or have wine spilled on them at some point during
the day or evening! |

Tanya and Brett 07.16.11  Today 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. |

 Ah, budget. The four-letter-word of the wedding world. In this Planner's experience, every couple, regardless of means, spends at least a littletime worrying about their wedding budget. In London, it would seem that many couples shy away from hiring a wedding planner for this very reason - "a wedding planner? How could we possiblyafford a wedding planner?"
Well, THIS Planner is here to tell you that you CAN afford a planner, and in fact, a good planner will pay for herself, and save you additional money to boot! |

Debbie and Paul - 07.23.11  Congratulations to Debbie and Paul, a wonderful couple who got married on July 23, 2011 on the beach in picturesque Kincardine, Ontario. As it was a second wedding for both, they kept things small and intimate, but elegant and memorable nonetheless. Family played an important role in the day, as Debbie's daughters Amy and Alicia acted as her matron and maid of honour, and she was walked down the aisle by her sons Shaun and Blair. Her young grandson Kevin was the uncooperative but adorable ring bearer. |
