A Personal Wedding Day Message

During the wedding planning, you are going to go through an array of emotions for your soon-to-be spouse.  But the main thing you want to remember is wedding day is just one day...the bond of marriage is forever.  Consider writing your partner a love letter or note to be delivered on wedding day via your best man and/or maid of honor.  The heartfelt words you write will lay on your soulmate's heart as they walk down the aisle to happiness.

Dressing Up Signature Drinks

A signature drink has pretty much become a staple at the cocktail and reception bar.  Couple's always put a lot of thought into the drinks ingredients, color and event the unique name it's given.  But also consider the "attire" the drink will wear when presented to your wedding guests.  Take a look at some of these ideas:

Bubble gum (or candy) garnish

And who doesn't love a fun paper straw?!

This doilie stirrer is so romantic!

Add a beautiful floral garnish to the drink

And you can't go wrong with adding a hint of fruit

Until next time...WEDologize!

Cutting Wedding Corner No-No's

I'm 100% aware that a thoughtful wedding budget is crucial to the planning of your special day.  I know as you begin the planning process and truly see the cost of your ideas on Pinterest :) you are going to have to make some tough decisions on what to keep, change and eliminate.  But in this blog, instead of telling you how to save costs within your wedding budget, I'm going to share with you...what not to skimp on:

1. Your wedding gown.  This is what everyone comes to see...just how beautiful you will look on wedding day.  You don't need to spend a fortune on a couture gown costing as much a 2-3 monthly mortgages, but you do want to spend your money wisely on a gown that makes you feel beautiful.
2. Your bridal bouquet.  This fragrant accessory is one of the most photographed items on wedding day.  It's practically in every picture with you, plus it gets photographed alone. The bouquet should compliment your wedding gown and not be scaled down.
3. The food.  This is the one thing the guests will remember and you want to make sure you are serving quality food.  Yes, some courses can be eliminated, but the least expensive option isn't always the best.
4. The photographer.  He or she is creating your memories in the form of an album with the photographs taken on your wedding day.  A professional photographer knows how to capture the classic photos plus those photos that you never would have thought about.  Don't select your photographer based on the best deal, select the photographer based on what you want your FINAL product to be.
5. The entertainment.  Outside of food, your wedding guests will remember the overall experience they had during the reception and music plays a large role in this.  Don't skimp on your DJ or band as they are the ones that will keep the party going until the lights come on.  Hire professionals that have worked weddings before, not just a party.

Until next time...WEDologize!
