Personalizing Your Wedding

picture 70 Personalizing Your Weddingpicture 72 300x229 Personalizing Your WeddingOne of the things that most brides tell me in our initial consultation is that they want their wedding to be unique.  They want it to be a day that their family and friends will remember all the details of for years to come.  When planning your ceremony and reception it is important to remember that no matter how lovely your ceremony and reception venues are, your wedding will look no different than the wedding the previous weekend unless you personalize it.  You want to make the space “yours” for the night.   

I like to think of your wedding day in a similar way to the start-up of a new company.   You need to incorporate the things that make you…you.  And then, create an identity for your newly formed “company”.  One of the first things a start-up company does is to chose a logo that identifies them.  Chose a monogram that can be used on all your stationary, on your cake and illuminated on the dance floor.  There are several companies that will provide this service for just a few dollars.

One of those companies is I Do Originals .  They will create a monogram and then incorporate it into aisle runners, table runners, your unity candle and on many other wedding day accessories.  Now until Feb. 28th receive 10% off all items in the I Do Originals embroidery line!

The Little White Dress

Many brides are choosing to purchase a second dress to wear either at the reception or possibly at the her engagement party or after party.  The styling of these dresses are typically much more flirty than the gown she chooses for her ceremony.  Usually above the knee in length, changing into this dress just before dancing begins is a great way to let your guests know its time to party!

Amsale has coined the term The Little White Dress and created an entire collection of styles to choose from.  Many other designers, such as Tony Bowles and Alvina Valenta have styles in their bridesmaids or social lines which can be purchased in white or ivory.
