Although the Fashion Gods dictate that white shall not be worn after Labor Day or to a wedding (unless you're the bride), some couples are throwing tradition to the wind and having EVERYONE wear white. And you know, it looks really nice. Here's a shot from a beach wedding we did where the flowers, decor and clothing were all sans color. Photo by Dan PowerPretty cool, huh? A ... [ Read More ]

Beach Brides
Having your wedding on the beach? Here are a few things to keep in mind when looking for your dress to keep you as cool and comfortable as possible: material – look for dresses made out of lightweight, natural fibers that will breath. Linen, cotton and silk charmeuse are all great bets as well as finer laces and weaves like faille. Heavy fabrics, like taffeta, dupion and tightly woven material, ... [ Read More ]
Real Wedding Blogged
A big thanks out to Brenda over at Best Wedding Sites for featuring one of our recent weddings on her site and her blog. This was a really lovely couple to work with - the bride was Costa Rican and the groom English. Although neither spoke the other's language when they first met, true love prevailed and four years later, two families from other sides of the world and different religions ... [ Read More ]
Pretty Programs and Chair Decor
OK, so maybe surfing Martha Stewart is treading into decidedly non-Lazy Bride territory (does that woman ever sleep?) but I saw this and thought 'what a great (and pretty easy) idea'. One of those ideas that you hit your head with your hand going 'doh, why didn't I think of that??".Have words from your wedding vows calligraphed (or run through the printer or you could also get ...

Go With the Flow
Sorry for the delay in posting - not that I've been lazy (well, maybe a bit) but was away at a wedding (August 8,2008 was a VERY popular day for ceremonies worldwide). And what luck we had! Despite having a tropical storm blow through the day before (yikes!), Friday was sunny and hot! So hot that right after the wedding ceremony on the beach, everyone made a B-line for the guy with the ice-cream ... [ Read More ]
Annual Running of the Brides
And now for something completely different. How far would you go for a bargain? Lining up overnight, running like mad and trying on dresses in the middle of the store? If it meant designer gowns at deep discounts? If you answered 'yes' to the above, you may want to check out the famous Filene's Basement Sale, where designer dresses are only $249 to $699 (original prices range $900 - $9000). ... [ Read More ]
Matchy Matches – and Coasters and Napkins and…
The saying 'little things are the big things' speaks directly about weddings, I think. Even if you have a very small budget, you can create an expensive designer look by having coordinated items, such as cocktail napkins, coasters, stir sticks, place, cards, table numbers, even cupcake tags (who knew there was such a thing?). These inexpensive items add big bang for your buck by creating a unified ... [ Read More ]
Lindsay & AJ’s Wedding
Just got the photos from Lindsay and AJ's wedding at the Zephyr Palace in Villa Caletas last weekend - WOW (if I do say so myself). Lindsay was great to work with as she had a clear idea of what she wanted yet gave me lots of creative freedom. The result as a chic mix of modern elegance with a touch of over the top spectacularness (is that a word?). What a fun fun bunch of people! Check out the ... [ Read More ]
Wedding Portrait Ideas
So, you've spent the equivalent of the GNP of Borneo on your dress, worked your *ss off getting buff and have religiously been having manicures/pedicures/facials/hair highlights so you look like a movie star. All for one day. A day where you likely will spill a few tears of joy (waterproof mascara- buy it now), be kissed a gazillion times by wellwishers and be rushing through the day to keep to ...
