<br />
Not proposing<br />
Not engaged<br />
Not having a wedding<br />
<br />
Just in love?<br />
<br />
I think that moment and feeling should be captured as well. We photograph everything else?<br />
<br />
Awhile ago I was approached by Stefanie from<a href="http://www.stefaniecepeda.com/"> Stefanie Cepeda Photography</a> to work with Jessica from <a href="http://muahjwn.com/">MUAHjwn</a> to host a contest for a stylized shoot for a couple that was, well...in love! We let people submit three words that best described themselves and we chose the one that plucked at our heartstrings and tapped our funny bone the most.<br />
<br />
The lucky couple was Christina & Peter. They also happened to be the most gorgeous, romantic, happiest and cutest couple EVER! (and might I add, so very much in love).<br />
<br />
I stylized a shoot that incoprated their city style but fun and playfulness. Jessica did her magic with her make up skills and took and stunning woman and made her look AMAZING and Stefanie, an amazing up and coming photographer worked away making their story come to life.<br />
<br />
This is the result:<br />

<br />
I immediately checked out the site and was pretty excited to get to review something. They have tons of stuff, and it is all straight across the board, from photography stuff all the way to tattoo kits!<br />
<br />
They gave me a few things to choose from to review and I chose the cotton candy machine. I thought this may a great option for my clientele as many brides are looking for unique favors or things to do or have at their wedding and a cotton candy machine could be just the ticket!<br />
<br />
Once I requested to product it came very quickly. I got it shipped to the states and picked it up just over the border.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu9BFa0jMOF7KbRSP_T7cYQjNUqopO_zeJpfNTGT6KlaO_IFfgCQTrimNfzDU_4gdvrT0KZqHJPLkzlidpCgKZstYWzMat4jK6Iw2vqXKHP9CPACEXLD1UDdeWIOFCrmobaZG2QiijrgN9/s1600/cottoncandy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu9BFa0jMOF7KbRSP_T7cYQjNUqopO_zeJpfNTGT6KlaO_IFfgCQTrimNfzDU_4gdvrT0KZqHJPLkzlidpCgKZstYWzMat4jK6Iw2vqXKHP9CPACEXLD1UDdeWIOFCrmobaZG2QiijrgN9/s320/cottoncandy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The cost of the cotton candy machine at the shop was <a href="http://www.thelashop.com/15-mini-home-kids-cotton-candy-machine-maker-y.html">$50.00</a>. I knew for $50.00 I could not expect the world or the best quality and it was pretty much just that.<br />
<br />
Here are the specs from the site:<br />
<br />

<strong>Package Includes:</strong></div>
<ul>
<li>1x Cotton Candy Maker with Cotton Candy Spin</li>
<li>7x 50g Colorful Cotton Candy Sugar(Peach, Grape, orange, blue plum, Cantaloupe, Mango and Strawberry Favorite)</li>
<li>1x Spoon</li>
<li>1x Instruction Manual</li>
</ul>
<strong>Our 15"" cotton candy machine can work continually!!</strong> Other small cotton candy makers should stop 2 minutes after each two cotton candy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I quickly set everything up and got to work quickly. It was very easy to set up and came with everything except a paper spinner to collect the cotton candy. I would highly recommend purchasing some of these first (not like me!) as it was hard to "twirl" the cotton candy with a spoon! :)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I did exactly as the instructions said and waited for my treat. The instructions said it would take 2-3 minutes for the cotton to start forming, but it did not! I started to get a little worried, turned the machine off and then started it again and left it for a bit. I would recommend for first time users that it takes about 10-15 minutes (instead of 2-3 minutes) for the cotton to start forming. Once it did though, I got cotton candy! </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I used purple (grape) on my first try. It comes with tons of different colors though (seven to be exact), with flavours like, peach, grape, orange, plum, cantaloupe, mango and strawberry. Once i got my first batch (and ate it, YUM!) I started making other colours, those batches only took 2-3 minutes to come in. (as per the instructions). I could work on them continuously and did not have to turn the machine off. Soon enough I had a couple of balls of cotton candy!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I should state however that you do not get the big fluffy cotton candy that you image at the fair, they were much smaller. This could have been my error though when not using a cone, or because the machine is plastic and smaller.</div>

I think this would be great for a wedding. I would recommend making the cotton candy ahead of time though and maybe placing them into small bags as favors. Its a little work but it would look pretty!</div>

Overall i would recommend the product. You basically get what you pay for. The site does carry more expensive, industrial cotton candy machines and i would imagine those would be of better quality and produce the bigger fluffier cotton candy that one sees in the movies :) </div>

Please do check out thelashop.com though, they have TONS of amazing stuff! I spent hours there pawing over all the different items they have. Well worth it!</div>

<br />
I love rain, when I am nestled into a cozy blanket, in my home, with tea by the fire and I think most people would enjoy it as well. But what about your wedding day? What about that one day where you look and feel like a princess, THE day, no one wants rain on that day (well some might!).<br />
<br />
As a planner I have to plan for this as well. We need back up, tents, locations for pictures inside and outside, pretty umbrellas and the whole shebang. I also tell my brides this though... when the sun is out and shining bright for your wedding pictures, you will have amazing pictures, but when its over cast and maybe even raining your photos will look just as great, if not better!(the contrast actually intensifies the colour!)<br />

There is not much to comfort a bride when her dream garden/outdoor wedding is cut short by a torrential rain fall, but I can promise a bride this. Your day will end the way you wanted it to, always, with your dream husband, surrounded by love, family and friends. When you are walking down the aisle you will not be thinking about the weather you will only be thinking about him.<br />

I think above all one has to stay positive and be prepared. Some cute gumboots, a fancy umbrella and a gorgeous smile will always do wonders. And as cliche as it sounds, it is stated in some cultures that rain on your wedding day is good luck. So always look in the bright side.<br />

My advice as always it have a happy time planning your wedding and to make sure it is about YOU, make sure this day, is about you and your husband, the things you love. But on this rainy dreary Vancouver day I also say, plan ahead and be prepared. Rain will not ruin your wedding day, have fun and enjoy it.<br />
<br />
Happy Planning!<br />

The day that goes by so quickly that it honestly feels like you planned for years only to enjoy 10 minutes as it disappears in the blink of an eye. Let's talk about photography.<br />
<br />
Photography can be expensive, there is no getting around that. But lets all remember you get what you pay for as well. One of the first things I encourage my brides to book is a photographer. Everyone has a budget for their wedding day, whether it be a back yard $5,000.00 wedding or a high end hotel wedding at $50,000.00, you have to set a chunk of money aside from whatever budget you have to invest in a good photographer.<br />
<br />
Latley I have been finding that with the economy the way it is and weddings getting smaller one of the first things on the chopping block is videography and photography. The mentality that it is just a small wedding, or we dont really need pictures or "someone" out of all the guests there will surely have a good picture or two, is just mind blowing to me.<br />
<br />
Let's face facts here fellow readers. YEARS from now, no one will remember what appetizers were served, what the cocktail drink was or the labels on your candy buffet, heck YOU may not even remember all those things. There is one thing that will exist years from now, one item that will hang on parents, grand parents and great granparents living room walls...end up in scrap books and at kindergarten show and tells, and that is your wedding pictures. <br />

Invest. Please.<br />
<br />
Investing in the perfect venue is great and it will make your vision for that day come to life but it is the photographers work that will imortalize that image for life. A venue is such a temporary investment and a photographer is a lifetime.<br />

Personal. <br />
<br />
Find a photographer that shares your vision as well. Someone who has similar tastes and ideas. They will be your friend and they will be your eyes on your wedding day. Find someone journalistic that will capture those secret moments, those stolen kisses, single tears and belly laughs. I emphasize also to not find someone to trendy either (or gimmicky), trends in photography come and go like all fads.<br />

Uncle Bob.<br />
<br />
Everyone has that family member who has a nice camera. You know, the "Uncle Bob" or "Uncle Larry". The guy who offers to help out because he once took a picture of an amazing duck on the water and then photoshopped the heck out of it. You know who I am talking about. Don't hire him. Please. By all means, let him snap away in the background (out of the photographers way). Let him take some pictures and you know what, he might just end up with some great ones that you love...the more the merrier. But do not leave the future of your wedidng photos in his hands. Again...please!<br />

I had a friend get married a few years ago, they had a small picnic type wedding, nothing over the top or fancy. So simple, stunning and them. It was by all means perfect. The dress was simple, the dinner a la carte, there were no tiny little details to run around about. The bride prioritized her budget and invested purely in a photographer and from that she got AMAZING pictures for a life time.<br />

This is my rant. From a wedding planner to brides and future brides to be. Please. Just please!<br />

They are two of the most amazing people I have ever met and so much love was put into their big day.<br />
<br />
When I first met Katy, like any bride she was overwhelmed by the choices, options and cost of a wedding. I loved talking to her and Patrick and figuring out what they love in life so we could build a dream day for them that expressed their love for each other and what they love together.<br />
<br />
Some of those things were reading, tea, sweets, simplicity, family, bright colours and wine.<br />
<br />
Katy & Patrick got married on a gorgeous sunny day in September. The ceremony took place at the Chapel of Epiphany at UBC and the reception was held at the False Creek Community Centre on Granville Island. All photos were taken by the amazing Stefanie from <a href="http://www.stefaniedebestphotography.com/">Stefanie de Best Photography</a>.<br />

The dessert table, one of two was a huge hit. The cake and cupcakes were from <a href="http://annaelizabethcakes.com/">Anna Elizabeth Cakes</a>. The Second sweet table had homemade treats from the bride herself and other family members.<br />

because it refelected exactly who they were, a fun, outgoing and
incredibly happy and in love couple! I loved helping Katy plan her dream
day with out breaking the bank! Katy was able to have everything she
wanted, from a custom gown, open bar and limo, to a fancy church and
gorgeous florals, all for under $15,000.00.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you again Katy & Patrick for allowing me to be a part of your day.<br />
<br />
<br />
All the best!<br />

It is such a vibrant and strong colour that i feel just exudes happiness. It is also a strong colour and I felt the strength in this would accentuate the "modern" feel combined with the blush pinks and butter yellows to tone down and bring in the more "vintage feel".<br />
<br />
The colours were easy to work with and I think it turned out very well. I can see why this is the "in" colour for this year.<br />

I love the brides dress. It may seem similar to you...this time last year a particular Princess wore a dress similar to this. Our version, from Isabelles Bridal, has shorter sleeves and a shorter train. We added a rhinestone belt for some glam and some modern jewellery from Keltie Leanne Designs. The little flowers girls dress was also a touch a vintage but a glamour sash, encrusted with crystals, pearls and bows added just the amount of modern glam we were looking for. The large flower from Adorn Atelier was perfect for our flower girl, adding a soft romantic element.<br />

It was my first one and I was so incredibly excited to get to flex my creativity a bit and come up with a beautiful "wedding". I was lucky enough to get to work with some amazing vendors that were so supportive and incredibly talented that the once daunting task became something fun and incredibly exciting!<br />
<br />
The idea behind the shoot was combine a few of the popular trends in the wedding industry, and because I am such an old soul at heart, anything vintage. The pantone colour for this year is tangerine, everyone loves diamonds, baubles and crystal and who does not want to seen an old chandelier hanging from a tree with some of the most gorgeous flowers ever draped on it?! It seemed so simple to me to combine everything a girl loves into one vintage glam shoot.<br />
<br />
All the photos are circulating already but I want to share one of my favorite ones with you for now, next week I will bombard you with tons of eye candy to enjoy.<br />
<br />
I also want to take this opportunity to thank all the vendors the participated in this shoot. It was so humbling to get to work with so many amazing and talented woman. You could honestly feel the passion and love for what they do as we worked on this shoot. And of course a very special thank you to Lisa from Ophelia Photography who's talent brought the vision to life!<br />

How can someone not get excited when the air starts to warm but still carries a cool freshness to it, when the sky becomes super blue while dotted with budding green branches and the air has a perfume to it of sweet sweet cherry blossoms.<br />
<br />
I love spring. Love it.<br />
<br />
I live in Vancouver and even though its a jungle of glass and steel I can still escape to areas and find tons of bunnies, squirrels and my all time favorite. Cherry Blossoms.<br />
<br />
I love Cherry Blossoms.<br />
<br />
When this time of season starts budding I feel like wedding fever strikes. The mood of a dull dreary and wet winter in the lower mainland lifts and I see photographers out and about snapping shots of couples for engagements and wedding pictures and I just feel so giddy. Spring has sprung.<br />
<br />
For anyone getting married in the spring, especially in Vancouver, one of my favorite things to incorporate into a wedding are cherry blossoms. My husband and I actually took our engagement pictures in March with all the cherry blossoms and then incorporated them into our wedding in our centerpieces.<br />

I am obviously not the only bride out there who has fallen in love with cherry blossoms, there are an array of ways to incorporate them into your wedding now and have a theme to your big day. The easiest way to start out planning a cherry blossom wedding would be start with the colour. Cherry blossoms bloom in an array of pinks, ivories and whites. We were already have purple and green in our wedding so pink may have been a little wild so we stuck with ivory. But pink is a great starting point for a cherry blossom themed wedding!<br />

One item I love to work with is fruit! It seems a little odd but they carry so much colour, are fairly easy to work with and sometimes they add a great scent to the room. I have worked with incorporating grapefruits, apples and even watermelon into a wedding theme before and as odd is it may sound, it always turns out fabulous.<br />
<br />
Now here is a personal confession from me....I love lemons. Anything citrus. I have lemons in my water, I'm a huge fan of the chewy coconut lemon cookies I made the other day and I am a huge supporter or lemonade. So.......a wedding with lemons, just seems so sweet :)<br />
<br />
To incorporate fruit, or lemons in the case, the first option would obviously be the colour. Yellow.<br />

To have a consist theme of yellow, lemons, fruit, fresh or citrus it does not have to be completely overwhelming to get across. Maybe it is just the colour you would like to incorporate, the shape or even the texture. I am a huge fan of having the actual lemons everywhere!<br />

Using lemons in a wedding adds a light and fresh take to your wedding. It is also a fairly in expensive accessory to use but does wonders at your reception or ceremony.<br />
<br />
Have fun with your wedding and think a little "out of the box" when coming up with a day that reflects your and your significant other.<br />

Happy Planning!Bailey's Brideshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08437616120857698288noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777361095981345296.post-5566942224887868732012-03-13T15:56:00.002-07:002012-03-13T22:28:34.173-07:00Bridal BluesI will openly admit here in Internet land that I had Bridal Blues.<br />
<br />
What is bridal blues? There are so many definitions for it and they will all vary from bride to bride, woman to woman AND groom to groom....but when all is said and done you are sad.<br />
<br />
My wedding day was perfect. A little hot, but perfect. I planned for nine months before the big day, and while I struggled with all the drama behind it, I did love the actual planning. It was so much fun to look at blogs, scout out ideas, resource items and dream about how my day would look. I put tons of energy and time into my wedding day and do not regret a moment of it. After all, you only get married once so you must enjoy that time.<br />
<br />
But then....you have your big day. You wake up in the morning, run around, have a fantastic day and collapse in an exhausted heap as a wife or husband....then what? The first few weeks after my wedding, were so far, the best days of my life. The first four days after, I felt like I was on some kind of cloud, it was a like a jolt of lightening every time I got to call my man "Husband" or when he called me "wife"... I am not over exaggerating to say I felt like I was in a mist, everything was so hazy, so perfect, so soft, so awesome!! It was BLISS!<br />
<br />

<br />
But everything started to wind down. The gifts were all tucked away, the thank you cards all sent out, pictures all printed and framed and then....it was over.<br />
<br />
I got bridal blues. To me bridal blues was not being sad about the day, the little things that went wrong, or that it was really really over...but more, the time. All of a sudden, something that consumed my days and conversations so much was over. No more phone calls to my mom about flowers, chats with my bridesmaids about dress' or colours...it was all gone. I became "blue" because I had a ton of time on my hands...a gap leftover from all my bridal planning!<br />
<br />
Many brides avoid this by nesting by having a baby or buying a house, something to fill that void. But not all brides after they get married are keen (or able) to jump into commitments like that.<br />
<br />
I am not the only girl to feel this way. Many brides have had this in the past, the symptoms are different and the cures are also very different! The Wedding Belles from Shaw TV just recently had a segment on Bridal Blues since Sarah who had recently gotten married, felt them as well.<br />
<br />
It's normal peeps!! I just want you all to know that!!!<br />
<br />
Here is The Wedding Belles segment about Bridal Blues...enjoy!<br />

I love them. They are so unique and I simply love all the detailing that goes into them and how they are most definitely a reflection of the couple.<br />
<br />
Today I finally (i am pretty excited!) get to share with you the pictures from Marysia and Dustins fabulous steampunk wedding that took place in the historical town of Clayburn Village.<br />
<br />
I should start out by saying this was an INCREDIBLE do it yourself wedding. The bride Marysia is one amazing and talented young woman and I am pretty excited that she just recently opened her own Etsy shop, so you can now buy some of her work. Check it out at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lovedovecreations%20">Love Dove Creations</a>. Or check out her blog <a href="http://allaroundartsy.blogspot.com/">All around artsy</a>.<br />
<br />
There is so much to say about this wedding but the pictures definitely speak for themselves. Enjoy this eye candy!<br />

The room was decorated with tons of nick nacks that would
be found most likely during the Victorian era, things such as old red

The room was decorated with tons of nick backs that would be found most likely during the Victorian era, things such as old red lamps, spy glasses, cameras, lights and old boxes. It was a perfect setting that added to the "feel" of a steampunk wedding. <br />
<br />
And lastly but not least, the gorgeous couple!<br />

She just recently answered a few questions for me about her wedding day to help all the other future brides out there plan their wedding day.<br />
<br />
Sonya was married at the Vancouver Rowing Club in Vancouver during the summer or 2011. She had one of the nicest days ever for photos and the day went by perfectly.<br />
<br />
It took Sonya a total of only eight months to plan her wedding down to every detail. Sonya goes on to say that "The personal touches we added to our wedding day were not necessarily unique, but we decided to go with the color purple as our main theme color and also included a love bird damask theme throughout the wedding. I really liked having the bride and groom cupcake toppers on our<br />cupcake tier and was glad we didn’t go with a traditional wedding cake. I also really liked having the<br />candelabras with flower centerpieces at our ceremony site."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9piaSoYwi9eTzzAeNrjTp37LZ0jrWI8WAbl-NaDWaRES8Y8Oc6BeZfxinDVC5z0pQbMoj3u0Rqd3Ce7FyYSo9uuTDzcVcDwXC4v0dqPqszTha7cf4p7i-UcC5mP_zti9ULnJBW5wKb7ap/s1600/_MG_5175.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9piaSoYwi9eTzzAeNrjTp37LZ0jrWI8WAbl-NaDWaRES8Y8Oc6BeZfxinDVC5z0pQbMoj3u0Rqd3Ce7FyYSo9uuTDzcVcDwXC4v0dqPqszTha7cf4p7i-UcC5mP_zti9ULnJBW5wKb7ap/s640/_MG_5175.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
When planning the wedding Sonya and Chris decided that they wanted to have "a day that was as stress-free as possible, ensuring our guests had a good time, and ensuring our day included really good food, a well-established photographer, and a day that flowed well without boring lulls." This is no easy task, especially when Sonya and Chris live up north and they were planning a wedding in Vancouver. Sonya goes on to say that "ensuring our day went smoothly and that the
schedule stayed on track was incorporated by using Bailey as our day of
event coordinator. We ensured the food and photography met our
expectations by meeting with the vendors, seeing/trying samples, and by
contacting references to help us make our final decision" To keep track of everything Sonya found a wedding planning binder at Chapters which was very helpful in keeping her on track. she also used “The Wedding Book” when planning the schedule, and the knot wedding website to get information out to guests and to help in developing the seating chart. She kept track of her budget using an excel spread sheet.<br /><br />Like every wedding a bride and groom have their priorities on what is important to them, Sonya and Chris ended up splurging on "photography, the venue, and flowers. I’m glad I decided to splurge on these items; however was disappointed with my flowers in general" and what cost surprised them the most? "I was shocked at the wine corkage fees (especially since we were bringing in our own licensed wine contractor. It is worth getting several quotes from vendors to get a good idea of the range in costs."<br />

Like every wedding there is always something to be dealt with, in Sonyas case she found it to be difficult "dealing with all of your families wishes – especially when it comes to the seating chart!<br />
My husband and I made sure we were on the same page when it came to these things and backed<br />
each other up when communicating decisions we had made with our families and friends" <br />
Some other bumps in the road...registering! "I registered at Sears and The Bay; however, we did let our guests know on our website that money was preferred as we already had everything we needed from living together for years. My experience with The Bay in Prince George was not good. They were very slow in notifying us when gifts arrived and often I had to wait for half an hour at the store for them to find the gifts. We didn’t get anything from Sears so I can’t comment on their service"<br />

As a newlywed Sonya would like to give the following information to any couple about to walk down the aisle, "Having an overall vision of what you want and sitting down with your significant other to agree on what your priorities are is a good place to start. Also, agreeing on your budget is important as the money you spend on a wedding can go well beyond your budget quickly!Being organized and coming up with a management system that works for you is key as well. Setting realistic time lines for getting things done and sticking to them will help you feel less stress as you<br />near your wedding day. I definitely recommend including a day of coordinator to ensure that vendors are meeting their contractual obligations and to ensure that the day flows well. This allows the bride and groom, and their families to enjoy the day without having to worry about all the small details. Also, a good day of coordinator will deal with any issues that arise without you even really being aware that this is happening. The last thing you want to do on your special day is have to deal with vendors and their responsibilities.I would also highly recommend going on a honeymoon after your wedding; even if it is only for a few days. You need time to relax and just enjoy being married before you go back to your regular routine" And lastly hire a DOC "I hired Bailey as my day of coordinator and I’m so glad that I did! She also provided some good advice regarding wedding ideas and photography location ideas leading up to the wedding. It was also helpful as we were not living in the same city as our wedding location so Bailey was able to help out with some to do items and pick up before the wedding" <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg91BhhwCJsmhyeMO5T70GBifOSpCzT97lTn4ewU_G5DsXsuhe2cVtTp6a_TnsTSNwIU1C63W2F8trOTBk3K1T906if0QRO7Gz6FQjWTU6NPHpGxZ1Db-SteB4PcO78yu3AlfLN_Yn_oGI/s1600/IMG_1021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg91BhhwCJsmhyeMO5T70GBifOSpCzT97lTn4ewU_G5DsXsuhe2cVtTp6a_TnsTSNwIU1C63W2F8trOTBk3K1T906if0QRO7Gz6FQjWTU6NPHpGxZ1Db-SteB4PcO78yu3AlfLN_Yn_oGI/s640/IMG_1021.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br />
When all is said and done the wedding day was perfect. One of
Sonyas favorite do it yourself projects was the gorgeous seating chart
her and her mother made and Sonya will never forget the first look
pictures she did with Chris before the wedding. "We chose to see each
other before the wedding and also took our wedding party photos before
the wedding. I’m glad we did the first look as it gave us that private
moment with each other without an audience". <br />

I was only day of coordinator so I can not take any credit for the amazing talent and ideas that went behind this wedding, but it was an absolute pleasure to get to be a part of this day.<br />
<br />
I will post about the wedding soon, but for now, i want to talk about Steampunk Weddings. When i announced i would be working on this themed wedding it seemed no one knew what it was all about! I think its high time the world did because they are AMAZING, so unique and fun.<br />
<br />
The best way I have to describe it is....think Sherlock Holmes:<br />

From all the details you can see that because it is based on innovation, there are alot of trinkets, gadgets, clocks and a sense of flight. In the Victorian area, the hottest topic was after all flight and inventing it.<br />

I did not even do one for my own wedding!<br />
<br />
I do not understand them, why does the bride and groom need to spend more money, more time, more stress and more energy on coming up with a cute, unique or gorgeous way to tell everyone, "Hey you are invited to our wedding on this day....I will tell you the information later though...." (I realize i am only scratching the surface of things....sometimes if does make sense). In my case it never made sense to send out save the dates, we picked a date right away and had a venue and colours picked out a few weeks after our engagement, heck, we were only engaged for nine months before we walked down the aisle.<br />
<br />
Also, I am a very budget conscious bride and as far as I am concerned if something needs to be cut to save costs when wedding planning....a save the date card, magnet, invite, or whatever....should be the first thing to go. So imagine my surprise and delight when the trend of sending email save the dates came into the picture. I was thrilled! There will definitely be some bumps in the road when doing this though, for instance, does your 98 year old great grandmother use email or YouTube? probably not. (I am most certain a family member will tell her the date anyways though!).<br />
<br />
Check out this amazing save the date made with post its! The couple ended up sending it out as part of their wedding invitations, but I thought the idea was so sweet and fun. It took them 3 days and TONS of post its!<br />
<br />

I must add that stop motion, in save the dates and actual wedding videos are becoming huge as well. They are incredibly unique and I love them as well! Here is a wedding invitation video that is pretty fun!<br />

Alicia and Patrick got married on March 19, 2011 at the gorgeous Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Coquitlam</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">BC</st1:state></st1:place>. They had 204 guests attend the wedding and almost 20 children. The ceremony and reception were both located at Westwood and the over all cost of the wedding came up to approximately $30,000.00. The theme for the wedding was elegance and bling and this affair definitely lived up to its expectations. In a gorgeous venue with vaulted timber ceilings, the bride draped the tables with gorgeous linens, some gltiz and a little glam.<br />

There were a ton of do it yourself touches to her wedding so she was able to get a head start on all the projects. As the bride describes “Every piece of bling, every blue ribbon and every table number holder was lovingly created by my fabulous maids (and man of honour).”<br />

The bride goes on to say: The most important thing we wanted was for everyone to have an amazing time. That when people walked away they would say “That was an amazing wedding. Possibly the best one I’ve every been to.” Many of our guests were out of towners, so we wanted to have our ceremony and reception at the same place, and somewhere that was very ‘west coast’. We decided on Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club. It’s up in the mountains, with an amazing view. We had the ceremony downstairs, and the reception upstairs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We splurged on a deluxe buffet, with a wide variety of vegetarian and meat-eater friendly dishes. We opted to use all the cold cuts and crackers between the ceremony and reception as an appetizer, which was a great idea as people were getting peckish.<br />

I sing in a semi-professional choir, and many of them came and sang for us during the ceremony. I also had a good friend sing the Ave Maria before supper. We passed on the DJ and hired a real band – Yes, a REAL band. Cease and Desist. They were AMAZING. The whole place was dancing until the wee hours of the morning”<br />

Some of the personal touches that made this wedding so unique (and full of tears!!) was the fact that the husbands mother passed away 10 years ago so the bride and groom gave everyone in the wedding party, and on the Grooms mom's side a gold angel pin in her memory. The bride also got up and sang to her new husband "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson as a surprise before their first dance.</div>

Alicia’s day was “the most magical day” she could have hoped for. She kept track of everything using Google docs and also had a notebook with her “To Do” list, and an area where she pasted fabulous ideas she came across. She suggests for future Brides to “get a notebook and keep it with you. There’s nothing worse than losing some great ideas because you wrote it on some loose paper and lost it. We had a wedding coordinator on the day of – money well spent”<br />
<br />
The Bride and Groom “did everything from place cards to invitations to save the dates by hand – which took a ton of time, but saved a lot of money. We saved on flowers – my aunts did all the centre pieces and bridesmaids bouquets, and a good friend made my bouquets. Saved us a ton of money. We splurged on the band – and it was so worth it.”<br />

Advice for the newlyweds. Alicia says “Embrace your bridezilla. This is a day for you and your man. I found myself tippy toeing to not go bridezilla and regret it in the end. I should have stood my ground and had things turn out my way” she also suggests “Try to keep your man involved – but don’t force him. He will share with you what he feels is important (and I can almost guarantee it won’t be the colour of the linens).”<br />

</tbody></table> One of the big new trends for sending a couple off into wedded bliss at the end of their wedding day is sparklers.<br />
<br />
I absolutely love the idea, its fun, its romantic and the photos always turn out stunning.<br />

</tbody></table> Many venues though do not allow open flame and hence have banned the whole sparkler idea. I have found since this has become such a big trend though that some venues are bending the rules for this brief moment which will most likely take place out side.<br />

</tbody></table>If this is something you are planning on doing, or if this post alone has made you fall in love with the idea, be sure to check with the venue about their flame policy before you sign anything. Although there are many alternatives to a send off, none seem quite as "bright" as this one.<br />

It was between a Filipino bride and a Chinese Groom. I was especially excited about this wedding because I have never attended (nor worked) at a wedding with so much culture in it. I was excited to see the traditions that would take place.<br />
<br />
This wedding was huge in that it covered both the Filipino side, such as performing the veil and rope tradition at the ceremony, but also the Chinese side. The couple respected his grandparents by performing the tea ceremony and even wearing the tradition attire.<br />
<br />
What plucked at my heart strings (and shall i say tear ducts) the most, was the lion dancers.<br />
<br />
They were A M A Z I N G. I knew they would be great...how could they not be. But I sat there like some fool with my mouth open as they danced for the bride and groom. There were two large lions, one red, one white...their eyes flashed, their eyebrows wiggled (and my favorite part....) THEIR TAIL. The whole thing was spectacular, with drums banging as the lions weaved in and out of the crowd.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>I could tell the couple was shocked, a little leery of what to do. I could also see the parents and grandparents literally BEAMING with pride and joy though while they watched their children stand with the lions getting lettuce and shimmering streamers spilled upon them.<br />
<br />
One of the photographers and I sheepishly admitted later that we almost cried seeing the lions dance. It was really that amazing! I told my husband if i had seen this pre our wedding those lions would have been at our wedding too! (I know, I know..it doesn't make sense!).<br />
<br />
I did not have any traditions at my wedding, nothing cultural at least. I do not even think i did the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.<br />

<br />
I am a stickler for a budget. It is one of the first questions when I meet my brides..."What is your budget?" It seems rude and every time I ask it I feel awkward, after all...money is awkward.<br />
<br />
When talking about budget though and talking about the wedding I find the theme you want for your wedding, the overall image and the way you want your wedding to feel will have an effect on your budget. and I am not just talking about colours here!<br />

If your wedding is something straight out of a magazine, dripping in diamonds...your budget is tight. Either way you have a budget but what are the parameters in your budget. THEME. Once you have a theme you can start working on the elements that make that image come to life and once you have the list you can start budgeting in areas.<br />
<br />
I like to push, or more "encourage" my brides to come up with a storyboard or inspiration for their day. It helps me see the wedding in their mind and allows us to draw on the key elements that are important to bringing that board to life.<br />
<br />
Take the time to scour the net looking at places you love. If you end up in a barn you may have a rustic theme, if you end up a golf course maybe you want a black tie affair. I would also highly recommend googling your venue to find inspiration wedding photos from weddings that previously took place there. In your storyboard try to incorporate the elements that are costly but mean a lot to you, something you think will help with your over all look. Maybe its chair covers or chivari chairs? Chandeliers or candles? or it could be the small things like tons of books for a library themed wedding or feathers for a peacock themed wedding.<br />

Most brides start planning their wedding a year in advance, things change. A theme set in an inspiration board just helps guide you within your budget and helps your wedding planner see your vision.<br />

A debate in itself whether or not the are necessary and once you have decided yes, they are, then what do you do.<br />
<br />
I will post about the debate of engagement pictures soon. Its a long one and there are always a huge list of pros and cons.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0473Lasxa-1jAuCw3MPXHP717Aqmu58Kp84FV5p4TZZ6NGSKpX4maGdoE5GYN7rGIW9HbqctNBiULw9cV0EGq8zxBr3TQ5DHes3JglHeWf7xLBYdagYdk5tQEWEKbvyFptbA4OjCb_S6V/s1600/69H1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div>Bottom line....if you DO have engagement pictures done, make sure they are YOU (have I mentioned this enough in my posts yet). This engagement shoot has gone viral all over the Internet. I think its for so many reasons...they have captured something they love, they are having tons of fun, the pictures are funny and you can also see how much they love each other!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! (my husband even loved them)<br />
