Telling your guest "No Children" can be a bit touchy..

3/15/2015

Sometimes the Bride and Groom would prefer the little ones to not be present for their wedding or maybe just for the reception. It makes it easier for their guest to have a carefree night out, and a sometimes a little more pleasant. Here are some ideas how to get your point across without stepping on any toes. Just add this in your invitation to make the message clear, it applies to everyone.

Short and to the point 
- Strictly, no children please
- This is an adult only affair
- Adult only wedding and reception

A bit more nicely said
- Children at the ceremony, we'd love them on the scene. Reception time, however, is an adult's only theme.

- To give all our guests the opportunity to let their hair down and have a good time without having to worry about little eyes and ears we politely request no children.
- While we love to watch the children run and play, this is an adults only kind of day.

Or maybe it is the venues choice
- By the manager's rules, no children
- Due to restrictions of the venue, no children may attend

What's A First Look? Do We Want A First Look?

What's a first look? Well, it goes a little something like this - the moment when
the bride and groom see each other for the first time before the ceremony,
usually in a private setting, and a photographer captures it. The first look is a
perfect opportunity to slip away from the hustle and bustle of your wedding
day and share an intimate moment together. It's also a great way to manage
your wedding day schedule. Getting these photos done before the ceremony
allows you more time to spend with your guests during the cocktail hour and
reception. A wedding photographer would also agree that a first look session
gives them a chance to get more creative and make the most out of the
day's natural light.

Some may disagree with this. Some are just not interested in breaking tradition.
Others believe the first look moment should happen when the groom sees the
bride walking down the aisle. That's cute too, but wedding trends are moving
more and more away from tradition. Today's couples are doing their own thing.

Readers, what do you think? Team 'first look'? Or team 'I'll catch up with
you at the ceremony'?

   Planning Mistake Number One: Blowing Your Budget On Just the Dress

                     Maybe you have $2,000 set aside for your look.
                     That doesn't mean you can buy  a $2,000 gown!
                     Don’t forget to add on tax, and if you're not
                     buying off the rack, you could get charged for
                     shipping. You might need alterations too. Don’t
                     forget to add your undergarments, shoes, hair
                     accessories and jewelry when budgeting as well.

No more "Dirty", "unstable" Heels

8/22/2013

So you are looking your best, your hair is fixed, your make-up is perfect, your dress is beautiful and so are your shoes. On the other hand, your shoes have grass and dirt covering the heel and you are sinking into the ground...that is not what you want, right? On your wedding day. That is why you need heal protectors. They slip onto the heel of your shoes to prevent you from sinking into the grass and getting your beautiful shoes dirty. Heel covers also help walking on uneven surfaces easier. At many wedding I have coordinated there have been rocks, brick, grass and wooden decks that are not so easy to walk on in heals and these heel covers save everyone.
Be sure you are not in that predicament on your special day. Make sure your brides maid and anyone else in the party wearing heels are in the loop and know this secret. They also come in different colors to better blend with your heels. We try our best to keep them on hand. Feel free to contact us to place your order. 919.747.4401

The "Ring Finger"

8/12/2013

Q. So why do people wear their wedding ring on the forth finger next to their pinky on the left hand?
A.
This started as a western tradition of the Romans. They named the vein in the "ring finger" "the vein of love." This vein leads straight to the heart and therefore has been deemed "the ring finger."
