 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! |

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. |

Think about the last wedding you went to. This Planner is willing to bet that it followed the traditional "wedding-wait two hours-cocktails-dinner-dancing" format. If not, kudos to the couple for shaking things up a bit! You want your wedding to be unique, and to showcase your personality, correct? Why not stray from the usual format and offer your guests a different reception experience? The following ideas will not only provide an unexpected twist to the norm, but have the side benefit of being budget-friendly. |

 Traditionally, couples have accented their wedding colours with standard white and black, as these neutrals compliment any colour scheme, and are readily available in linens and decor items. Recently, and to this Planner's great excitement, intrepid couples have expanded their palettes and their themes to include gray, a fresh neutral that packs a big punch. From pale dove gray to classy pewter to strong charcoal, there are endless tones to choose from, all of which work exceptionally well together, and with virtually any other colour palette. |

 Most couples put a lot of time and effort into planning every minute of their wedding to ensure that their friends and relatives have the time of their lives. From cocktails to last call, the grown-ups are entertained, wined, dined, and catered to. However, while their parents are enjoying the wedding, younger guests often become restless through the drawn-out dinner and boring (for them!) speeches. Always the advocate of making a wedding unique and fun for all, this Planner had the pleasure of meeting with Ann from |

I suppose one could call the weather outside today a "winter wonderland", which got me thinking about winter weddings. If I put my personal feelings about the snow and the cold aside, the winter is really a perfectly romantic time to tie the knot. Everything is white and shimmery, the trees make a beautiful photo backdrop (if you can handle the cold!) with their wintry branches, and if you book the right venue, you can create a warm, cosy ambiance your guests will love. |

 I don’t know about you, but my husband pretty much let me have carte blanche with our wedding plans. Much as I tried to keep him in the loop, he really just wanted to show up, and to have good music. Oh, and NOT to have to wear a pink boutonniere. That was of prime importance. NO PINK FLOWERS for my hubby. (P.S. He ended up wearing a pink rose anyway. Sorry, honey!). As a wedding planner, I’ve become a bit more conscious of trying to incorporate everyone’s desires, and of working to find more unique solutions that really personalize the day. |

As a planner, my wedding philosophy is simple: the wedding should be a reflection of the couple getting married. I’m always looking for ways to personalize weddings and to make them more unique. One of the best ways to create the tone you want for your special day is to choose a venue that resonates with your interests as a couple. If you and your fiancé are adventurous and outdoorsy, why not choose an outdoor location for your special day? If you met while performing in a play, how about tying the knot in a theatre as an homage to your courtship? |
