How To Choose Your Wedding Menu

Food is such an important aspect of a wedding for me. Therefore, picking a menu can be difficult (also because I am a picky eater). I will list some of the options for menus, and then some tips on how to choose the one for your wedding.

This week's Wedding Colour Wednesday is seriously adorable and so down to earth simple. Red, blue and sand. Earth tones with a pop of red. Seriously, amazing.

Maid of Honour Duties

Most weddings have bridal parties, and that means having a maid of honour. Whether she is your sister or best friend, she will have duties to fulfill. If you are the upcoming maid of honour, make sure to read this list to ensure you are the best maid of honour there ever was!

Don't Forget To Say Thank You

It is extremely important to send a thank you note to your guests after your wedding. This note can be electronic or paper and should include a picture of you and your partner. I love how Renaissance Studios Photography has thank you banners. These photos are great for a thank you card.

This thank you for attending note can be doubled as a thank you note for wedding presents. I prefer paper notes, but if you have a lot of guests it can get quite expensive, especially for printing photos. Therefore, it may be best to do it electronically, or email the photo and handwrite notes thanking for gifts. Personally, I would opt for personally designed cards with the picture on the front and a handwritten note inside.

Shoes Fit For A Bride

Aside from the dress, the next item I would be thinking about is the shoes. Probably because I am obsessed with shoes (which I get from my mother.) Here are some of my favourite options for shoes for your big day!

Décor for a Rustic Wedding

One of the hottest trends right now in wedding themes is rustic. Be it rustic chic, rustic vineyard, or rustic country. This burlap, twine, lace, wood and all things natural theme is easy to do, especially if you are good at DIY projects.

Spotlight Venue: Western University

In tribute to my school, The University of Western Ontario (now known as Western University), I thought I would showcase this wedding that took place there. I have always seen the signs for weddings on campus, I never knew it could look this beautiful!

4 Reasons to Have a New Year's Eve Wedding

While winter is not the most popular season for weddings, I think there is something appealing about having your wedding on New Year's Eve! Below are my top 4 reasons for having your wedding on New Year's Eve.

#1 - A Great Anniversary

Not a person to normally go all out for New Year's? Now you have an amazing reason to always party - your wedding anniversary. New Year's Eve will always be a special day for your and your partner. Better yet, January 1 is a holiday. That allows you to party the night away and not have to worry about going into work the next day. It's like having your anniversary on a Friday every year.

#2 - Ease for Guests

As mentioned above, the next day is a holiday. That makes it easy for your guests to come to your special day, since the next day can be reserved for recovery and travel. Also, your guests most likely will enjoy having a place to go and party for the evening, unless they have traditions already in place. 

#3 - The Décor

Did I mention metallics? How about how you can go crazy with the metallics and it is totally acceptable? Mix metallic with glitter and you have a home run. You also don't have to go crazy. Some small string lights, candles and a giant clock is just perfect.

#4 - Champagne

Who doesn't love champagne? What better way to celebrate your wedding and the new year than with champagne for everyone! Classy, sophisticated and fun, champagne is a definite. You can also give out tiny bottles of champagne as a party favour (for those who are of legal age of course.)

Fact: Did you know that The Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco got married this past New Year's Eve?

Thanks to Renaissance Studios Photography for the stunning photo!

5 Great Wedding Favours

One of the most common ways to thank your guests for attending your wedding is with a favour. These are normally placed on the table with the place cards. Renaissance Studios Photography, who supplies a lot of the stunning photos used on this blog, has recently opened a wedding store - A Million Things Wedding. Here are a few of my favourite guest favours that they sell!

1. Bottle Opener

This antique key bottle opener is ADORABLE, and so practical. I am a big fan of the practical gifts. I am also into antique keys right now. Starting at $3.60 CDN each, these are definitely a unique wedding favour.
