Mother in Black
Thursday, May 14th, 2009There are two schools of thoughts as to what a mother of the Bride or Groom should wear when attending their child’s wedding.
1) Wear Black! It is an attractive color on everyone and will match any color combination. You will be able to wear the dress again to numerous functions, who doesn’t need a classic black gown?
2) Avoid Black like the Plague! Wearing black to your child’s wedding is making a statement as if you were attending a funeral that this is the death of your relationship with your son or daughter. This is a time to celebrate not mourn!
What is your opinion? Should mothers slim down with black or avoid appearing like they are attending a funeral?
Love & Lemonade
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009During your hot summer wedding, provide your guests with a bit of a relief with some lemonade! Set up jars for a self service bar or individual glasses to be butler passed. Add some variety with different flavors such as Strawberry Lemonade or even Sweet Tea as another option.
Add fruit pieces to your drinks as a garnish!
Fill the jars of lemonade with large pieces of fruit to add to the true fruit flavor and create a very summery feel.
Send your guests home with memories of your delicious lemonade with these cute personalized packets. I love the mini whisk attached to the packet, a great take-away from a summer wedding.

Graffiti Wedding
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Add some edge to your wedding day! When I think of clean white wedding dresses, my first thought for a picturesque backdrop is not graffiti, but it works! The colorful art contrasting against the clean lines of the white dress and black tux create vivid pictures on your big day.
How did you add some funk to your wedding?
