The Beginning of Forever

It’s almost New Years Eve!!! Happy Friday.. I hope you had an amazing holiday and are getting ready to enjoy another one! We thought we end off our Winter Weddings series with a New Years special. Imagine you were going to have a wedding right on New Years Eve… what would your theme be? We asked ourselves the same thing, and what we came up with was fun, of course, but more specifically Champagne, Silver, and Gold. Champagne was a must as you need something to toast with and what’s a New Years Eve party without Gold and Silver so of course those had to be included. So here’s our inspiration of a New Years eve Wedding.

Happy Friday! and a long weekend to boot! For all those celebrating have a Merry Christmas as I know I will… Also Happy Hanukkah too those celebrating! The holiday seasons are filled with joy and merriment but best of all filled with family and friendship! We are continuing with our Winter Weddings special. This week we are inspired by the December Birthstone the Blue Topaz. Last week we did the December flower The Narcissus so make sure you see that blog too! A stunning, vibrant clear gemstone that is quite perfect for the winter season. And what goes better with a bright blue in the holiday season? Gold… of course!! Gold and bright blue feed off each other bringing a subtle pop to wedding decor. But they also give the feeling of peace, relaxation, and serenity. Blue being a cool colour makes gold more vibrant! So don’t be afraid to swap the balance in the other direction then we have (more gold than blue) as they work well both ways! A Blue Topaz & Gold Wedding Pho

Happy Monday!! Hope the winter chill as not quite got you down yet. We are a midst or almost a midst the holiday season and so we are continuing our Winter Weddings series this Monday with a little Winter Modesty. In any location that sees colder weather during the winter seasons know that a bride who risks baring the cold on her wedding day will need a little extra fabric to keep her warm. Some believe that this can leave a bride looking a little plain or too prude, but the Rosa Clara collection begs to differ! With sleek, flowing, curve fitting gowns that add just the right amount of coverage to leave the bride warm but stunning! Cute bow accents, sleeves to keep you warm, and lace detailing to frame the face will keep the word plain far from the memories of guest who take glimpse of the bride. So here are our favourite gowns (with a but of modesty) perfect for winter weather. Winter Modesty And for the bride who likes to show a little more skin, but still wants to keep

Happy Friday to all… Christmas is creeping up… are you ready for it? And with Christmas comes Winter… so we are continuing our Winter Weddings month this week with a wedding inspiration board from the December birth flower the Narcissus. Specifically the Paperwhite Narcissus. The paperwhite narcissus is the December birth flower. Legend states that after Narcissus his body wasted away and what was left was a Narcissus flower.  They are very fragrant flowers and are frequently given as gifts at Christmas. The meaning of the the Narcissus flower is respect, modesty and faithfulness. You give the Narcissus to let the recipient know you think they are sweet. Respect, Modesty, Faithfulness, and Sweetness.. all very great words in reference to weddings!

This was simply a gorgeous wedding. It shows that simplicity goes a long way, the tendency to think flashy for your wedding is not necessary because choosing a design, theme, or inspiration can be as easy as remembering your favourite things. I had the pleasure of doing my brother and new sister in law’s wedding this past October. There theme came from her love of all things pink… the colour orange for my brothers “fascination” with a basketball and cute nature of gerberas! When I walked in and saw it all take shape I was awe striking from the rich blend of colours to just how perfect it was for this loving couple!
