Hi Ladies,

Ideas and alternatives for wedding confetti
August 17, 2008 | 2 Comments
Create a signature look at your wedding with various types of confetti. The traditional cut-out punch holes are a thing of the past, not to mention that many venues dont allow them anymore.
I know that there are a couple of alternative options out there (and Im sure a lot more), but here are some great idea that I managed to find for fabulous alternatives to traditional wedding confetti.

Mizz Calla Lilly posted a great blog on Cinderella Wands Cinderlla Ribbon Wands. These are very different and unique. You can personalise them with your names, wedding date or other things that may be special to you on your wedding day. Things Like “I Do” or “Happily Ever After”. Ribbon wands also make great gifts for your guests and beautiful photo opportunities.

My previous blog said that I didn’t want any flowers at my wedding. But after we saw the venue, I changed my mind. Now, I want flowers. LOL

Eat your centrepieces
May 31, 2008 | 2 Comments
Who ever said that eating the centrepieces was not proper wedding etiquette? I think this is a fab idea. The centrepieces wont go to waste, and you can even save a few bucks skipping the starter or combing your centrepiece into favours.

Edible wedding centerpieces are especially great if you are planning to let your guests be seated while you are having your photos taken. A lot of couples like to do this as it keeps the guests from getting bored. You can let them nibble on the centrepiece while they await your grand entrance. Just let them know that they can dig in by placing little cards on their place setting or nominating a family member to spread the word.

Fabulous faked flowers
May 16, 2008 | 2 Comments
You just can’t have a wedding without flowers, but nobody said that your flowers have to be real. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a flower gal and I’m also no fan of fake flowers, but there are some really nice variations out there. Mizz Calla Lilly posted a nice blog on crystal bouquets, and another great option is Sinmay bouquets.

Using Sinmay fabric, and accented with twigs and crystals these bouquets are finished off really beautifully. Here are a few more design options…
Breakaway bouquet
May 12, 2008 | 1 Comment
This is such a great idea, instead of going for a standard wedding bouquet, have your florist create a breakaway, or fortune bouquet for you. This is a collection of small bouquets, bunched together with ribbon, but when you’re holding it it looks like one big bouquet.

Centrepieces
April 30, 2008 | 7 Comments
Who knew centrepieces could be so complicated? Probably everyone except
me…it’s just, in the old days (you know, like the eighties!) everyone had
these big floral arrangements on their tables, the kind that were poofy to
match the wedding dress, and so huge you couldn’t see five people on the
other side of the table. Not me, I decided, I’m going to have something
simple and elegant and (ahem) cheaper.
Definitely don’t want this…
