The Beginning of Forever

HAPPY FRIDAY!! and TGIF! Were still plugging along with our Superhero Mini-Series ! This week… the man of all men Superman! A true all American… so of course we had to have some blue, red and white inspiration. But we also incorporated some classic elegance because Clark Kent is a true gentleman which inspires that classic era but you do have include a modern touch. We also added some sweet tea.. truly American.. (can’t you picture Clark Kent working at the farm stopping for some sweet iced tea?)… but we added a twist by finding a iced hibiscus sweet tea recipe for that modern touch but also for the red colour. I hope you like our take on a Superman wedding. Be sure to see our other Superhero Inspiration Fridays hear . As always photo credits are below.

Happy Friday! Were back with more of our Superhero Mini-Series ! This week ‘The Hulk’. Now I now some of my readers checked out the newest Avengers movie right?? My favourite character had to be Hulk. Mark Ruffalo did an amazing job. So it got me thinking about how I would transform the split personality of the shy but brilliant scientist with the rugged but sweet monster hulk. Well…. I added a little science, a lot of green, and some extra rugged nature on top. This is also a great way to combine the two personalities of the couple getting married. Take a little bit of each and something you both love… make the thing you both love the most prominent (like green in the hulk inspiration below) then add in hints of the thing you each like separately (like science and ruggedness below). This allows both of your visions and personalities to shine through on your wedding day. Hope you enjoy or Hulk inspiration below.. and if your missed the first Superhero Mini-series post last week ch...

Hello Everyone!!! Happy FRIDAY!!! And happy CANADA DAY to all my fellow Canucks! We’re kicking of our Superhero Mini-Series where we will feature some of ours and some of your favourite comic heroes! Of course with ‘ The Amazing Spiderman’ coming out this Tuesday (July 3) in theatres we had to start with your “Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man”. And how, you ask, can you have a Spiderman wedding without the typical cliché costume effect. Think abstract and go minute with details. The key is minimization. For example, Spiderman has to have his webs… there is no if or buts about it.. so incorporate some spider web lace, spider web turquoise.. you get the point. Add the infamous red and blue, even have the bride where a delicate mask but not before adding some real superhero makeup to her eyes. Inspired??? Well I hope so…. We got 4 more superhero’s to go and we would still love you vote so let us know your favourite comic book hero (or not comic) in the comments below. Oh and as always f...

Happy Monday/Tuesday.. today being Tuesday… I was late in posting yesterday so I thought I’d do my bridal gown Monday today instead. We are still on our Accessorize Mini-Series today we are showing you how to use body art as your bridal accessory starting with paint. What about some great body paint to heighten your bridal look. You could add a huge colourful detail to your back like the photo above (designed by paint-n-faces ) or you can get really creative and do a paint (trash) the dress photo shoot. I love the idea of a trash the dress where you really trash it… the idea of a paint the dress is to use paint, glitter, etc. and throw it around until your covered  in it. Sparkling with different colours. It makes for a fantastic photo-shoot! (photography by Lindsayskeans Photography ) And the beautiful art of Henna or Mehndi. You can go traditional with a design on top and on the bottom of your hands. Get more modern and haute couture with bright colours, jewels a...
