The Beginning of Forever

Happy Friday to all. It is Remembrance Day here in Canada where we remember our veterans of old and new! So a Happy Remembrance day on this 11.11.11! We are going into movie mode for the next 4 Inspiration Fridays kind of a movie lover mini-series for all the movie loving couples out there. It's so easy to draw rich inspiration from a movie because they take you to worlds unexplored, allow you to see things that you haven’t seen before, and take you back to a time from before you lived or to a future that you haven’t lived yet. Today we go back some 70 years to explore a travelling circus and a love story of course! Water for Elephants is our inspiration for today’s Inspiration Friday. Out on DVD/Blu Ray now so make sure you go and check it out. Circuses in general are simply fun when it comes to wedding themes. You can do so much with a circus theme from bright BOLD colours to great acrobatic acts to keep your guests entertained. We, however, are focusing on a vintage cir...

Happy Inspiration Friday… and a great TGIF to all! Yes we are still on our Fall Wedding Obsession .. I mean why not enjoy the season while it lasts, as we know winter is creeping up on us! Fall always makes me a little more eco-friendly as it’s the season that in it’s purity is all about the gorgeousness of nature in it’s natural state! Colours, bare trees as the leaves fall off… bare trees indeed as that is the inspiration for the blog today. Remember when considering twigs and branches for the accents of your wedding be sure you are a little more eco-friendly too! Use branches and twigs that have already fallen, or when you do that last trim off the tree in your yard save the trimmings for your accent DIY projects. When using a wedding vendor be sure to ask them where they got there twigs and branches from! Ask them if they can only us supplies that don’t directly hinder or harm a tree! Those simple steps can help you stay green as how can we enjoy nature in it’s purest beauty if...
