Red and White Bridal Accessories
It’s no surprise that most brides immediately picture a white or at least off-white gown when they set out to find their wedding dress. However, with many traditions and formalities falling to the wayside, a pristine and snowy wedding gown is no longer mandatory. For brides who are looking to add a little spark and feisty personality to their attire, a gorgeous red dress may be just the way to go.
I received emails from my blog readers who commented favorably on my past post about the Red Wedding Theme. They loved the gowns, the cake, and the reception table all decked in beautiful red and white linens, red chairs and red flowers.
Princess Fairy Tale Wedding
October 3, 2008
For the princess in you!
Much have been said about brides who want to have a fairy tale wedding. Some say that since more and more women are getting married later in life, this fantasy is no longer held by these women. Is the dream of a once in a lifetime chance to feel like a real princess disappear at a certain age? I should hope not. A fairy tale wedding can be romantic, whimsical, and creative. Last year, Disney tapped into this dream and came out with bridal gowns designed by Kristie Kelly using the Disney princesses as inspiration. Having a fairy tale wedding, however, includes more than just the dress. The ideas below will jump start your preparation for your perfect fairy tale wedding theme.
Finding the Right Wedding Photographer

Research is Worth the Time
Finding the right wedding photographer
It is a given, but it is worth repeating — taking some time to research which wedding photographer is right for you will save you from disappointment later on. Choose someone with a personality that fits with yours, someone who loves her job and committed to helping you realize your wedding vision.
Photographer’s Personality
Of all the wedding vendors who you will work with, your photographer has to be someone you are totally comfortable with. Remember that this person will be following you around everywhere, from your bedroom while you are getting ready to the time you and your hubby leaves the reception. If tension builds between you and your photographer, it will affect the quality of her photographs.
When you interview the photographers, explain your vision and your style. Carefully observe how she reacts. Is she enthusiastic about it or does she interrupts and injects her own stories about her previous work or contests won? You want someone who listens attentively and becomes excited about your day. This emotion will show through in the pictures, too. Therefore, first make sure that you are comfortable with this photographer before even looking at her work.

Winter Wedding Theme in Blue
August 30, 2008
I’ve always been facinated with Preston Bailey’s designs. This famous Winter Wonderland on the upper left is the inspiration for this winter wedding theme in blue. This illustration board shows that you do not need to live in a state that is blessed with winter wonderland to use a winter wedding theme. Bring the winter indoors with flickering tiny indoor lights in white to simulate the snow and wash the room with blue lights. The wedding cake, table setting and the bridesmaids’ gown complete the theme. Last, but not the least, the bride with her lovely flowing bridal gown brings in the warmth to the cold winter night.
Autumn Wedding Styles
August 24, 2008
Autumn is a great season for weddings. Personally, I think “Autumn brides” should be more popular than “June brides”.
Autumn Wedding Colors
Just like the multi-colored leaves of autumn, the popular wedding colors for fall weddings range from burgundy to red to orange to mustard yellow to golden brown. You can easily mix and match these colors into your ceremony and wedding reception and your wedding invitations. [Read more]
