"Getting ready" outfits for Bridesmaids

For the Bride, there's nothing more fun and meaningful than having her girlfriends by her side, getting pampered, sipping mimosas and sharing fun stories. 
Moments like this will be captured by your photographer, so why not buy your Bridesmaids some beautiful robes, right? 
Show them your love and appreciation with some matching gifts everyone can wear while getting ready on your wedding day.

Small Wedding

Small Weddings

Some couples may feel pressured to throw a big wedding, but smaller weddings can be just as fun and easier on the pocket. One of the more obvious advantages to a small wedding is the cost. 
Small weddings are way more intimate and couples can spend more individual time with the guests. 
And that is why, Destination Weddings keep growing each day.

RSVP to the Wedding

This is a good idea! 
You know your people, and you know a few of them will assume you know they are going to your wedding and don't even care to RSVP, maybe they forgot or maybe they don't even know if they could make it and get there last minute without notifying. I have seen it all, believe me. 
Would you consider to have an extra table for those "Wedding Crashers"? 😄

Bridesmaids accessories

Talk about an alternative idea for the Bridesmaids "Bouquet". Pineapples' Bouquet is what happened here when the fun and non-traditional Bride wanted to make a statement and be different. 
.
Our Bride, Hallie, gave a Pineapples to each one of her Bridesmaids, instead of a flower Bouquet. The smell was divine and they made a statement by being different. After the Wedding Ceremony, we placed the Pineapples on the Presidential table at the Wedding Reception to complement the décor. 
Magnificent idea! Ü

Wedding Favors

Wedding Favor! 
If you ask me what I recommend as a Wedding Favor for your guests, I will tell you to consider an edible favor. Believe me, people enjoy it a lot. 
This beauty on the pictures is a mini-cake that one of my vendors do. They put it in a beautiful gift box with a bow, and we place it, either at everyone's place setting or on a table at the exit of the reception so they will grab theirs at the end of the event.

Wedding Venue

One of the biggest decisions you’ll make as an engaged couple, is choosing your wedding venue. 
A good proportion of your budget and time will go to find your dream venue. 
First, decide on the type of wedding you want. Then, set a budget with careful consideration as to how much you can afford for your dream venue. 
There is really something out there to suit every kind of couple, it’s just a matter of making your own decision based on your budget and vision. 
When you both go on to venue hunting, never visit more than three wedding venues in one day. It's definitely so overwhelming. Trust me!!!

Once you've decided on your venue, the rest of your planning should fall right into place.

Cake Tasting

What could happen at a Cake Tasting?  

One of the most difficult tasks the couple will be confronting during the wedding planning process, it's the Cake Tasting. "Why difficult?", you ask. Well, whenever I'm accompanying my clients at a cake tasting, choosing the flavor(s) becomes a challenge for them. "These are all so delicious.", they say. 
I mean this in a fun way. They truly enjoy it, although the hustle on choosing the flavor(s), it's real. 😁 
And that is what really happens at a Cake Tasting. 😉 
I always suggest that only the couple go to this tasting. Chances are, if the couple invite a friend/family, it could become a bit difficult. You can get more confused if you all clash on picking a flavor. 
Keep it simple... Just the two of you. Enjoy! 🍰

Wedding Budget

Lets talk about the Wedding Budget. 
Start by making a checklist of the "Must Have" and the "Nice to Have", one being the most important and the other one being the least. 
The budget is all about balance and priorities. 
For starters, take a good look and super-duper evaluate your guests' list. The more guests you have, the more food, liquor and decor you have to have. Your guests will always remember and talk about - the music and the food. So, the quality of these two should be a great priority. 
But most importantly, do what feels right for you both, not what people should expect. It's all about the overall experience that they will have, and the love and gratitude that you both will reflect on that special day towards them.

Bridesmaids Gift

Bridesmaids' Gift
Are you planning on giving your Bridesmaids a gift on the Wedding Day? 
This is a "nice to do" gesture to thank them for being part of such a special day for you. Not every Bride does it, so if for some reason you can't do it, don't feel bad. 
The most popular gift the Bride gives to her Bridesmaids, is a beautiful piece of jewelry to wear on the Wedding Day, and/or any day after. 
It's important to coordinate the gift exchange with the Photographer and Videographer so these professionals capture this moment. Same thing goes with the Groom and his Groomsmen. He can buy his Groomsmen a gift and hand it out to them on the day of the Wedding assuring the Photographer and Videographer documents it.
