No commentsSign of the Times…..
Hello everyone…. Adding details to a wedding or event is what sets it apart and makes it special. A really special detail is signage. I came across a vendor who creates cottage vintage style signs – The Family Attic Shoppe. This family run business has been making these signs for decades. Each sign is unique. They can be used in your wedding to add that special touch and detailing that is an unexpected pleasure for your guests.
Detail #1: Welcome your guests with a beautiful sign.
Detail #2: If your wedding and reception is at the same venue, provide signage to show where each part of the wedding is being held. This style lends itself to beach weddings, Private home/tented weddings, country chic/farm/barn weddings, and weddings held at vineyards/wineries.
Detail #3: Have the Ring Bearer carry this sign before you walk down the aisle. How cute would it be to have him say the words “Here comes the Bride!!!”.
Detail #4: Take a photograph with the “Thank You” sign and use it as your thank you cards after the wedding.
Detail #5: Take a photograph with the “Just Married” sign to remember your big finale.
Until the Wedding Bells Ring….

No commentsBridesmaid Style…
Hello all. I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend! In our blog entry entitled, ”Boutonniere with a Twist”, we discussed selecting a slightly different boutonniere for each of the Groomsmen to add a bit of uniqueness to your wedding. Now, let’s do the same for the Bridesmaids. There are many ways to set the Bridesmaids apart. One of my favorite options is to select the same dress for all of your Bridesmaids, but allow them to select a different accessory for their hair. In the picture below, each Bridesmaid has used her individual style to accent her look. Love it!!!…

No commentsFor the love of Moss….
Good day to you… So what do you think of Moss? Can it be incorporated into the design details of a wedding? Most certainly! Moss can be used to enhance your Shabby Chic, French Country, Vintage, Rustic, and Vineyard themed weddings. It adds an element of roughness, texture, and elegance all at the same time.
Spotted Leopard is a vendor on Etsy who has really mastered the use of Moss in a classy and elegant way.

No commentsJewels for your Bouquet!
Hello to everyone!!! Last year, the popular phrase that a lot of Brides used was “Wow Factor”. Our clients would say, “I want to have the wow factor at my wedding with lots of glitz and glamor.” This translates to jewelry – crystals, pearls, diamonds.” There are many ways to bring in the wow factor at a wedding. Let’s not forget the Bride’s bouquet.

That is one way to add a special touch and not break the bank. You can add crystal picks in various shapes and colors or you can have your florist add diamonds or pearls to the centers of your flowers. Just the smallest amount of jewels really add to the final look of the bouquet.
Listed below are a few websites that sell bouquet jewelry at an affordable price.
