Perfect Picnic
Leave a reply
I simply adore this idea of a ‘picnic wedding’. What a perfect idea for a spring or summer wedding – or even for a Bridal Shower or Rehearsal lunch.
Pick a few of your favourite food items (that are packable, and not easily perishable) and put together a delectable ‘basket’ for each of your guests. If you’re working with a caterer, they can put all this together for you using your instructions.
It’s the little touches of this simple idea that make it so perfect – customized labels, colour coordination with ribbon & tissue paper and oh-so-pretty packaging. Adorable!
Wanting to do something like this for your next event? We’d love to help – we’re chalk full of ideas!!

What’s Old is New again.
Vintage inspired weddings are very popular right now. Adding vintage touches and mix-matched items to your wedding make it unique and personal.
There’s also a whimsical element to vintage inspired weddings. They appear to be more relaxed (less stuffy) and also can be friendly on the budget if you can beg, borrow and steal.
Vintage inspired weddings also seem so timeless. I think this may be a trend that stays around a while.
To add the vintage feel to your wedding incorporate some of the following:
– silhouettes
– family heirlooms (brooches, pocket watch, fabric, etc)
– mix-matched china (from your Grandma’s china cabinet, or from a flea market)
– mason jars, and an assortment of vases – milk glass, depression glass, coloured glass (amber, blue, etc)
– wild flowers
– antique furniture and accessories
– black and white photos/ sepia photos
– art deco jewelry, pillbox hats, bow ties, vests and bird cage veils
– stationary can include monogram, letterpress printing or a wax seal
– lace or patterned fabric, and or a mix match of colour & textures
Check out some wedding blogs like Wedding Chicks, the Knot and Green Wedding Shoes and search for ‘vintage’. Just remember though when planning your vintage inspired wedding (or even Engagement session) that less is more.

‘The Notebook’ inspired E-session
“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”
~Noah, The Notebook
I saw this engagement session the other day on Green Wedding Shoes and my mouth dropped. This couple displays the essence of adventure and love from the movie The Notebook. Photographed by Chelsea from Blushing Bride in Montreal, these photos are truly one of a kind.
