TEA PARTY THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER!

A few weeks ago I attended a wedding shower that I helped plan in Florida. This was a very unique shower because it was held at a quaint little spot called Hidden Tea Secrets. This tea party themed shower let the little girl in us all come out as we sampled different tea's, snacked on bite size treats and of course dressed up in big hats and jewlery! Here are some pics from the event! TEA PARTY THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER'S ARE IN THE SPOTLIGHT!

HERE COMES THE BRIDESMAIDS!

Long gone are the days of the march of identical bridesmaids. Most of us at some point have come across an old 80's photo or video footage of a bridal party with the most ridiculous bridesmaids gowns ever to grace the body of woman. These days it is ok to allow your ladies own personality to shine through rather than bestow upon them a travesty of a gown, hairstyle and makeup pallet. More and more I have found that brides to be are picking out a color to tie all the ladies together but they may have the option of three styles of dress to choose from. These days the typical bridesmaids gowns are so much more flatering than ever, so there are really no excuses. Every woman has a different body type and not any one style is going to look good on everyone, however certain styles like an A line cut dress generally looks good on many different body types. But if you will pick the same style dress for your maids let them wear there hair the way they feel comfortable, or pick out a style of shoe that they love. I mean you really dont want these friends of yours to stand up in front of your friends and family and feel uncomfortable and unattractive, I know you want to be the star but please dont torture these ladies, I mean after all you know one of them is single and she is totally going to get you back when its her turn to walk down the aisle!

Honeymoon Registries are the new black!

One of the most exciting parts about planning a wedding is registering for gifts! Running around your favorite department store scanning your must need items for your guests to buy you as you venture into the land of the married. Although getting "STUFF" from your favorite store might seem great many people are realizing that so is a candle lit couples massage on the beach! Yes, that is one of the many things you can register for if you choose to do a honeymoon registry. This is something that I will be doing for my wedding in addition to registering at a store as well, just to give people options. The way this works is you book your honeymoon like you normally would and then you can set up an account on a honeymoon website and your loved ones can go on and purchase you extras for your honeymoon experience. Some examples are, dinner on the beach, site seeing tours, money toward airfare, a great bottle of wine to go with dinner......the list goes on and on! This is a great way to have the honeymoon of your dreams for minimal cost! Here are a few websites you may want to check out. Some have free account set up and some do not. Most of the sites I have found let you view examples of other couples sites and also offer a lot of info on honeymoon hot spots and packages.
