Wedding Dresses

For those brides to be who are thinking or already looking for that perfect wedding dress, I just want to remind you; it doesn't have to be white!

The day of the white only wedding dress is now over, and that is a good thing for those of us who love to dare to be different or just love color. I myself wore a beautiful blue satin dress, made just for me! If you want some of the traditional style, but want to add a little flare and your own style, think about finding something that has a splash of color on the bottom part of your gown, or some colored sequens, for those that want to venture into a total untraditional style, pick your favorite color....don't be afraid, make it your theme color and everything will flow perfectly.

Don't forget, if you can't find what you want, there are many great seamstresses who will be able to taylor your dress just for you.

Have fun, remember, this is your wedding!

Helpful Hints

Hello Everyone,

Just some hints for your upcoming event or wedding.

Everyone loves candles and they can make your events warm and cozy, but there are some things to remember when using them.

1) Keep in mind when serving food, whether you are having a buffet or sit down dinner, do not use scented candles. Smell is an important part of the eating experience and a scented candle at the table can interfere with the taste of the food.

2) Some people have allergies and a scented candle can ruin the entire experience for someone who is allergic. If you are having a small event, you may be able to ask if anyone has allergies if you wanted to use a scented candle in a different area than the food items.

3) Make sure your candles are placed in or on something that will catch the hot wax and have something to burn down to. We don't want any accidents.

4) Color is fun, so don't be afraid to mix and match colored candles to your theme.

5) Dim the lights so that the candle light will make a more subtle and romantic atmosphere.

Most of all, have fun!
