The Beginning of Forever

Happy Monday! Here’s to a new week filled with fun and excitement. It’s Bridal Gown Monday and as you know we love to feature gorgeous gowns from talented designers. This week we are featuring Mira Zwillinger with bridal gowns from her new 2012 collection . More specifically we are getting you satin envious! After the infamous Twilight Breaking Dawn wedding all eyes were on Bella Swan’s (Cullen) divine satin gown! And of course I always say see and gather the inspiration then find your own style that fits YOU just right. So this week it’s all about gorgeous satin gowns that you can wear to make all others envious. Mira Zwillinger offers truly stunning satin gowns in her new collection. What’s great is they come in different silhouettes fit for brides of all shapes. Sure Bella’s gown was stunning, but not everyone can pull of that fit which is something all brides should remember when looking for that perfect gown.

Thank Goodness It’s Friday! Aren’t you happy to read that! A Happy Inspiration Friday to you… hope you have or will be inspired by something that crosses your path this Friday! It’s snowing here in Toronto today… so it got me thinking about soft fluffy snow. The morning after it snows when the sun rises with that pinkie orange glow. A glow that hovers over the pure whiteness of untouched snow. It’s a beautiful thought, very soft, the cold milky white touched by the warm glow of the sun. Well that was my inspiration for today’s blog. The idea of soft snow is a great inspiration for a winter wedding. You can mix many different shades, hues, and tints of white, with a blend of pastel/light pinks and orange. Here’s our take on a Soft Snow Wedding .

Happy Bridal Gown Monday! And a happy start to the new week. We have been catching up on what’s in for 2012 weddings and the wonderful Tracey Manailescu, Vice President and Co-Founder of the Wedding Planner Institute of Canada captured us with the title ‘ Vintage is Out! Hollywood is in ! Specifically Old Hollywood Glamour . And we have to agree (although I do still love the vintage look)! So while browsing through a ton of wedding gowns last week (one of my lovely pleasures) I came across one of my favourite designers YolanCris and of course than came across my gown of the week. YolanCris has Old Hollywood Glamour perfected. Flapper style silhouettes, fringe, ruffles, lace, body fitted, and the perfect accent accessories to boot. This dress is the epitome of the new but old Hollywood style of 2012 and there is even more to see in the collection so be sure to check it out The Mónaco Gown :

Happy Friday!!!! TGIF and all that hope you are excited and ready for a great weekend! Disney’s Beauty and the Beast 3D came out in theatres on Jan 13, 2012 and with it came the movie short Tangled: Ever After . Yes Flynn (Eugene), Pascal, Maximus, and Rapunzel are back as Eugene and Rapunzel get married! YAY! There finally wed… but of course mishap befalls them at the wedding, when the rings slip off the ring pillow in Maximus’ mouth. Pascal and Maximus go on a rampage through town to find them in time so the wedding can go on…. And what happens you say…. well that just wouldn’t be fair to tell!! Go and see it for yourself… Two great movies in one, and it’s Friday so why not? Disney’s Tangled Wedding Inspiration (January 2011) We just had to revisit our Disney’s Tangled wedding inspiration, new year, new ideas, and of course a new movie. We have refined our idea for a real life Tangled wedding and we wanted to share it with you. A lot more romance, subtler colours, and hints of n...

Paper Lanterns are a very simple DIY project great for centre pieces at your bridal shower, engagement party, or even your wedding. Another great way to use these lanterns would be to line your wedding runway or aisle so it glows romantically as you (the bride) walk down. What you will need: Well I will allow you to be more clever than me and use heavy card stock. You want it to be bendable and foldable, but able to stand up right without holding it. I will let you decide how large or small you would like it. Keep in mind you want it to be able to bend/curve around a glass jar (or large deep set candle holder) You’ll also need scissors or an X-acto knife, tape, and a tea light candle. Let’s get s tarted: Measure the paper length you need by bending/curving around your jar (candle holder). Be sure that there is enough space at each end so that you can overlap and tape. Cut your card stock if necessary to make it the appropriate length. Take your card stock paper and fo...
