WHHHHHHHAT you say??? It's true. Tis the season! I enjoy weddings, however I didn't enjoy the drain it had on my wallet this summer but hey - it's what you do for someone else's love because you love the couple or you're related to them so you don't have a choice. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I always get a little "verklempt'' when I see the bride walk down the isle looking so beautiful (but really, if I see someone else is crying or even just tearing up I'm done for. Hand over the kleenex!). Of course, everyone wants to be at the reception because it's a party (side note - I have been to wedding receptions which have been the opposite of a party, definitely NOT my favorite and when that happens I want to stab myself in the eye with a fork because that seems more fun). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What's my favorite part of the reception aside from the dancing, wine and laughter? Why the dessert of course! I have an insatiable sweet tooth and that does not bode well for the amateur baker in me. There are so many different options now instead of having only the traditional wedding cakes and the presentations are amazing! A lot of couples are opting for dessert tables that offer much more variety rather than just cake. Check these out...</span><br />

What bride isn't? I was actually lucky enough to tag along with Big Sister on one of her hunting expeditions a few weeks ago and had a lot of fun! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I wonder what she would think of this up and coming designer from Portland, <a href="http://www.sarahseven.com/about.html">Sarah Seven</a>. I'm seeing this girl's bridal dresses everywhere! There are definitely a few cute little numbers in her regular <a href="http://www.sarahseven.com/wholesale2010/specialoccasion.html">spring 2010 collection</a> I'd like to see hanging in my closet and her <a href="http://www.sarahseven.com/bridal3.html">bridal collection</a> is gorgeous. These custom made dresses can be made in a colour to your taste, and as she says on her website - just ask! She uses natural fabrics, silk, wool, linens, cotton voile as well as recycled vintage fabrics AND she gives 5% of all her sales to charity!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Check out a few of her bridal gowns - they are so lovely!</span><br />

The Little Mermaid turned princess (with legs) - Ariel!! I remember seeing this film in the theatre - I loved it. I loved it because Ariel was a redhead and she had cool what's it's and who's it's galore. (I happen to be a redhead as well, although I was a decidedly uncool, scrawny redhead - Ariel and Jessica Rabbit somehow made it a bit easier to be a redhead back then.) She was a dreamer and always wanted more and that's what she got. And how about that crazy Sea Witch character, good ol' Walt sure knows how to make his baddies bad! Is it weird that I had such a crush on Prince Eric? Yup - super weird. He was an animated character and I crushed on him like crazy. ANYHOOO.....</span></span><br />

It was more of a grown up kind of Disney movie - Robin Williams was brilliant as the voice of the Geenie - so funny. The baddie (Jaffar) was super bad, Aladdin got the girl and of course that girl is Princess Jasmin. I also believe (and I could be wrong here) that Princess Jasmin was the first ethnic Princess in any kind of Disney animated film. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The site provides information and different ideas for various showers, stagettes and parties as well as some cool do it yourself projects for centerpieces like these frosted glass pieces, creating your own reception back drop, making brooch bouquets - even making your own 'Hello Kitty' garters. </span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There are also loads of real wedding photos and articles you can browse through to get your own ideas. After going through some of the pictures, there are certainly some very creative people out there. Check out this rainbow dress.</span></span><br />

Disney has also started designing bridesmaid dresses to compliment the wedding dresses - here's a couple of my favorites although I'm not terribly sure about the brown colour but the dress is really cute. The black dress would make a lovely wedding dress if it were white, cream or even a really light yellow.</span></span><br />

Little Sister is away for a few weeks and will be blogging intermittently but instead of just posting on Thursdays - I'll be posting a bit more until she's back. SO - this is more for Little Sister (who loves all things Disney) than Big Sister but still fun. The powers that be at Disney have decided to branch out a bit further into the wonderful world of WEDDINGS....that's right, they now have an official wedding dress designer - all wedding dresses are inspired by the Disney Princesses (Well, OF COURSE)</span></span>. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For the next little while, I will feature a princess a post. How does that sound?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We shall begin with one of my favorites, Cinderella. </span></span><br />

When little pieces of money were wrapped in saran wrap, baked into the Birthday Cake and you got to keep the money that was in your piece...as long as you didn't accidentally eat it. Those got pretty expensive for parents when loonies and toonies went into circulation. I wonder if people do that anymore. This post has nothing to do with that, other than I thought of Money Cakes today when I discovered "Wedding Cake Jewelry". There are no longer just little bride and grooms cake toppers...which have also become quite creative:<br />

</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am not married, however I spent most of my teen years as a wedding singer - I've played at countless weddings plus I think I'm pretty outstanding at attending them. A good source of income although if I ever hear 'Canon in D' ever, ever again....</span><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today we shall talk about wedding music. Now...BIG Sister is getting married and from what I understand - it's a Fairy Tale, Medieval themed shin dig. When I was thinking about this post, a particular movie came to mind. A 2001 film - A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger (RIP). What I particularly liked about this movie is that it had "Fairy Tale / Medieval" like qualities with modern flavour, great fashion and music (not to mention it was pretty funny). How cool would it be to have Big Sister, fiancé and their wedding party perform this David Bowie song at their reception complete with the choreography?? </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">(By the way - I will not post any animated Walt Disney fairy tale clips as Little Sister won't get any work done and she'll just watch the clips over and over again and sing along with them)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie"

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I definitely suggest watching A Knight's Tale for inspiration for some Fairy Tale-ish / Medieval wedding and music ideas. Whaddaya say?? Maybe invite me over to watch.... I'll bring the cupcakes. </span></span>elesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470379013699097855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502495753781033004.post-39677469188380849632010-06-29T08:17:00.000-07:002010-06-29T08:23:34.607-07:00Shoes for him<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglpjTWxZnEzBfqTd9KL7DP_Fuw7TnMxbRW6u6tfjIe6jlAOdy4wkxtAXVAwnO5T17PprjcqdRTtHAR7uwvc1itP1V6klrTr-X3cGSdtHGvwWJ9Xbxr6dmcKhN6Su5pZGnIqu2rY4xN-gw/s1600/help_me_groom_shoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglpjTWxZnEzBfqTd9KL7DP_Fuw7TnMxbRW6u6tfjIe6jlAOdy4wkxtAXVAwnO5T17PprjcqdRTtHAR7uwvc1itP1V6klrTr-X3cGSdtHGvwWJ9Xbxr6dmcKhN6Su5pZGnIqu2rY4xN-gw/s640/help_me_groom_shoes.jpg" width="432" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRf2Vb3Sr9MbvNhiDOlfe88Y9eArfBdUU1dKE6ZP_OiURbWeMyWmm8uKs2FNcYymL1WbhlRePqhQY4bqTFBtqpsFSn2WaLRLtfsmlQAZulzeZeDZjvspFtpPMjqbZAEub6F_eYsfrfjyg/s1600/help-me-groom-shoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRf2Vb3Sr9MbvNhiDOlfe88Y9eArfBdUU1dKE6ZP_OiURbWeMyWmm8uKs2FNcYymL1WbhlRePqhQY4bqTFBtqpsFSn2WaLRLtfsmlQAZulzeZeDZjvspFtpPMjqbZAEub6F_eYsfrfjyg/s400/help-me-groom-shoes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<div><br />
</div>Right now, my sister and fiancé (and me) have toyed with the idea of the Wedding being on our parents farm in Alberta. I think it's the dreamiest place for their Fairy Tale, and then when I saw these pictures...GORGEOUS.<br />

</div>Now that the big question has been popped, the next big question is usually "home, or destination"? My sisters is currently TBD.<br />
<div><br />
As for me, we knew instantly what ours would be. Destination: Hawaii. I have a grass skirt for a bed skirt, and a Hula Girl lamp in the bedroom...Handsome knew what we was getting himself into. Choosing WHERE in Hawaii was a lengthy process however, as it ain't cheap. <a href="http://shawweddingbelles-thebridesmaid.blogspot.com/">The Wedding Belles</a> recently posted the following stats:</div><div><br />
<ul><li>16 percent of marriages are destination weddings.</li>
<li>The destination wedding market accounts for $16 billion in annual spending.</li>
<li>Average budget for a destination wedding is $20,600.</li>
<li>60% of destination couples pay for the wedding themselves.</li>
<li>The average age of a destination bride today is 33, compared to the U.S. average of 28.</li>
<li>70% have graduated college and the average household income is $110,000.</li>
<li>Average number of guests at a destination wedding: 48.</li>
<li>Guests at a destination wedding spend an average of $400 to attend.</li>
<li>9 out of 10 couples say weather is a key factor in selecting a destination.</li>
</ul><br />
Hawaii doesn't have All-Inclusive Resorts, so trying to plan something that won't cost you, or your guests, your life savings was no easy task. However, we managed to have a wedding with 75 guests (75!!) for <b>half</b> of the average Destination Budget.<br />
<br />
We saved money by doing the following:<br />
<br />
<b>Flowers</b> from a <a href="http://www.mauifloral.net/">Flower Farm</a> vs resort-recommended Florist.<br />
<b>No Wedding Cake</b> (the meal option came with a delicious dessert)</div><div><b>No Centerpieces</b> - Hawaii doesn't need much to be breathtaking.<br />
<b>No DJ</b><b> </b>- I'm a musician at heart, so spending a year making the "perfect playlist" on my iPod was right up my alley. Just so you know, renting a PA system from a local music store will cost you roughly $50 vs the much (expect about $300) higher amount you will pay to use a Resort's in-house sound system.</div><div>We have a<b> </b><a href="http://kpollittphotography.blogspot.com/"><b>Wedding Photographer </b></a> in the family (ok, we really lucked out here)</div><div><b>Wedding attire</b>: It's the beach! Sun dresses are VERY appropriate, and you'll be happy you did when you splash around the beach in your frock that's not only comfortable, but won't cause you to suffer heat stroke.</div><div><b>No wedding invitations</b><i> -</i> This was a tough one, but since we knew that we'd have to send out regular updates on flight deals, hotel rates etc, Evites made much more sense and saved us a LOT.</div><div>We chose the <b>season</b> carefully. Hawaii's weather rarely changes, so we chose October - right after high season, right before rainy season...temperatures just right.<br />
Planning our wedding during a <b>recession</b>, and when the Canadian Dollar was nearly on par with the US Dollar. Ok, we didn't plan that but it sure worked in our favour!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Saving money in all of these places allowed us to splurge a little more on the things we really did want. And if we could do it all over again, and on a bigger budget, I wouldn't change a thing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485823077829701954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTZeyFVxjz1J40rvArFjhXKhJqzHREGxFJDgzsg-r5sUCOjx8YOoGB4mE4OM3Z8Ni9wwtB5-2NSKVs2xT1K7e31GhC1LHS-32OqtXIsNpdf2DiliB4HK5J3TQw60mJwtlEPChyphenhyphentD3yCg/s400/442.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 267px; width: 400px;" /> </div></div>Little Sisterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10017167673829936628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502495753781033004.post-50961106515220008072010-06-21T19:02:00.000-07:002010-06-23T16:22:49.997-07:00Engaged<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Weddings. At first I thought they were too fussy. Everything having to be perfect, which FYI is next to impossible when it comes to such lavish affairs. I was also pretty young when I made this decision, with no future husband at my side to ever give my mind a reason to wander into the Land of Nuptials.<br /><br /><div>But then my Best Friend got married. She had a backyard Wedding at her childhood cottage. It was sunny the day before her wedding and the day after. But not the day of. It rained, and it was cold...and it was the most beautiful wedding I had ever been to. Perfect until the very last hug at the end of the night.<br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9a_GMI-jkH0dYbGKgGGUfddt6UWOkx0BWAl9yO8Ev84vLkoghb1_DH2ZofNcA8QQ9aV-dWKFbhPEPX7nRSjQlFMRy8YosHukJygnjSpAj7dAe2vnEjup8oTpGr8ICUE38-LHSLsSAybA/s320/_AAN0213.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486112806019236498" />It's been wedding after wedding ever since, each one as unique as the couples getting married. A police escort for one Bride, a hilarious and lighthearted (and yes, planned ahead) Vegas Wedding for my Aunt & Uncle, a Water Front Ceremony with a singing Bride, a dreamy <a href="http://www.stanleyparkpavilion.com/Pavilion/Welcome.html">Stanley Park Wedding</a> with every gorgeous Bell & Whistle polished.<br /><br />In 2009, it was my turn. I married my handsome husband in a no-frills affair in <a href="http://www.royalweddingshawaii.com/RLR_Main.cfm">Hawaii</a>. No cake, no centerpieces, no bouquet toss. Just how we wanted it. Yet it took a full year of decisions, phone calls, researching, planning planning planning. I was warned that I couldn't prepare a perfect day and to just let the little things slide. But our day was perfect. Hollywood perfect. I see Weddings in a whole new way now that I've experienced it as The Bride. It truly is a personal, meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime moment: your very own Fairy Tale come true.<br /><br />And now my sister is engaged to her personal Knight in Shining Armor. Literally. He sword fights! One of the most romantic, unplanned proposals I have ever heard of. I want their Wedding to be as romantic as they are, as quirky as they are, a dream customized for 2. I'm not sure who's more excited (them or me) but I'm thrilled that they might let me into their Horse Drawn Carriage of a ride to the finish line, even if I'm just hanging off the back.</div>Little Sisterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10017167673829936628noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502495753781033004.post-60273250924605088902010-06-20T10:31:00.001-07:002010-06-21T20:56:44.772-07:00Sisters<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2G0ykjmi2Tg1iTdXWwADco5wEiUuC7-ndwIe0NPfqet_zdS_qosE4M2_WYhRzhQDEyOrnlotfTZQ5DnLXDL1jBPEMtGg8NjTmfhY0VT6EWJaNr6VkFsyqN0_JTHrZ9_AAwcenGyWVAeY/s1600/P2170009_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2G0ykjmi2Tg1iTdXWwADco5wEiUuC7-ndwIe0NPfqet_zdS_qosE4M2_WYhRzhQDEyOrnlotfTZQ5DnLXDL1jBPEMtGg8NjTmfhY0VT6EWJaNr6VkFsyqN0_JTHrZ9_AAwcenGyWVAeY/s320/P2170009_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485373663457509618" /></a><br />My sister and me.
