That’s a wrap!

Our 2012 wedding season has come to an end, and we are very pleased with how this year rolled out.

We executed a total of 9 weddings, with 3 being Full Wedding Planning services – so for this part-time business, we’re giving ourselves a little pat on the back for a job well done.

All of the weddings we executed were memorable in their own way, and there were aspects and details from each that were very note-worthy. To share just a few, we’ll start with Natalie, our June Bride who had a sign displayed for her guests that detailed the meanings behind her flower choices. We thought that this was very unique and gave purpose to her flowers rather then them just being simply decor.

Another neat thing I saw this year was the use of Scrabble letters to form the table names for Porsha & Will’s big day. Or the fact that Mary-Anne, our August Bride had not just one cake, but three! She got on the trend wagon and had a cake trio for the day she married her hubby Anthony.

This year was our busiest to date, and we couldn’t have been as successful without the help of my fabulous Assistants. Big hugs and thank you to Brittany, Melissa and Teresa. You guys rock!

Also thanks to some of the fabulous vendors we had the chance to meet and work with for the first time, and to those that we’ve worked with before and some more than once just this year. You guys help in making my job so enjoyable – thank you!

Stay tuned for blog posts in the next few weeks and months that will show Porsha’s, Mary-Anne’s, Margarita’s and Brooke’s wedding day in a recap with details and photos.

The Art of Calligraphy

Leave a reply

Is the art of calligraphy a thing of the past? Your mother, aunt and maybe even your older sister or cousin might remember hand writing all of their escort cards, place cards, etc for their wedding. Nowadays computers print most things for us as a variety of fonts, sizes and ink colours are available. So I gotta ask, would you use calligraphy? It’s timeless and sets the tone for an elegant affair. It’s what the Royals would use, and is oh-so-classy.

If you live in Hamilton, Ontario you can reach out to the Hamilton Calligraphy Guild to see if they have a member that could work with you for your wedding stationery. Or, you could hire a professional like Diane from “Calligraphy by Diane” who’s located in Toronto and has hand written calligraphy for many Brides for their menu cards, programs and more.

With vintage weddings remaining popular, you might just want to consider calligraphy over the computer. Just a thought.

Happy planning!!

School Sweethearts

The DIY Bride

With School back for the year it got me thinking about School Sweethearts. I can’t even count how many crushes I had throughout school – all the different boys names I doodled in my notebooks and wondering if I’d ever be any of their Mrs.

Wedding Programs from Etsy

For some couples they are in fact School Sweethearts. They might have been in the same class in elementary school, or went to the same school and didn’t hook up until later in life. Or sometimes, they are High School Sweethearts who’ve been together 5, sometimes 10 years before they tie the knot.

If you met your sweetie in school, check out some awesome ideas from some of the below fabulous sites.
