Contemporary Wedding Invitations 2008-07-29 13:23:00 More than any other aspect of a wedding, invitations seem to have changed the most in the digital age.
Just a few years ago, your choices were limited to whatever the local store had in their catalogue. Mostly white or metalic paper, scripty curvy letters, lacey edges.. you know the look..
Nowdays, imagination is your only limit. And "custom" is the name of the game. You do not "order" your invi Read more:Contemporary

Customize Everything.. it is YOUR Wedding.. 2008-07-04 00:58:00 Today's blog theme is "customization". (Or, perhaps "personalisation")
Twenty years ago, if you could not find your dream dress/ring/cake/invitation/whatever in your city, well.. you just settled for the next best thing..
But no more!
One thing that the Internet has definitely made much easier, is to the ability to source out specialists far far away, see their work, communicate your wishes and Read more:Everything

Trendy: Custom Cake-tops 2008-07-04 00:09:00 There is a lot of emphasis on finding the right flavour and design of a wedding cake. But, how much time do we put into the topper? The little bride-and-groom candy has always been an afterthought, kinda like the angel on top of the Christmas tree - what else would you put there??
Well, there has been a resurgence of the cake topper, of late, featuring all sorts of unique and personalised twists Read more:Trendy
Zen and the Art of Table Setting 2008-07-03 00:53:00 What has struck us the most in these two photos is how well matched the two entirely different themes are, to their respective surroundings.
The first, cool and contemporary, right at home in the glass highrise, the second, elegantly traditional, perfectly matched to the classicaly-styled venue (where is that?)
Try to imagine those two reversed!

Did someone say 'chocolate'? (part 2) 2008-07-03 00:18:00 That chocolate fountain from the previous story sure looked appetizing! How about this?
Do you remember when a wedding would almost always have matches with the bride and groom's names and wedding date printed on them? Well, with fewer people smoking, the need and therefore, the popularity of the personalized matches has greatly diminished.
The void however, has been filled by a much more sat
Did someone say 'chocolate'? 2008-07-03 00:08:00 O.K. by now everyone has been to a party or to a wedding that offered a chocolate fountain during the dessert portion of the evening.
For self-professed chocoholics, this device is heaven sent! Hours of melted chocolate for me, I mean, for you, no I really mean for the guests to enjoy. In many cases, it becomes a gathering point where guests can mingle over a chocolate dipped strawberry or tw

Real Weddings: A Leap of Faith 2008-07-01 16:44:00 Romance was the furthest thing from Fred Matta's mind when planning a a vacation to visit cousins in Calgary in July 2003.

Decor Tips: Lost in colour? 2008-07-01 16:13:00 So, you have a particular colour in mind for your bridesmaids; does that colour have to resonate throughout your entire day? Should the flowers, the favours, the napkins, the groomsmen and your décor all match?
Well, that is completely up to you; however, be careful about getting to caught up in the matching game. It's great to create a theme and to use your colour strategically throughout t Read more:Decor

Wedding Trends: The Dessert-Only Reception 2008-09-02 12:16:00 A popular wedding trend is the dessert only reception. If you are looking to cut wedding costs and don't want the budget of an elaborate sit-down dinner, a reception where you serve dessert only could be ideal.
