Trending Engagement Rings

  The year may be half way over, but there is still time to become one of the newly engaged couples of 2017! This year has shown a revelation in engagement rings and times are definitely changing! Engagement rings are varying from the traditional stone and band to aged metals and gemstones! No ring shall be looked at in question as an engagement ring in 2017! Not sure where to start? Or need some inspiration to show your beau? We've got a nice list that's sure to bring a smile to your face once placed on your finger! East to West Diamonds Dare to be different with these stunning settings!   Split Shank You could say this would be the sister ring to the more classic single band.  The split shank allows for more light to strike your diamonds, which means more SPARKLE when you display your new jewels on social media! Intertwined Bands A truly meaningful gift (not that a different style wouldn't be!),  this band represents two lives coming together to become one. Whether there is a platinum band or rows of diamond accents, its sure to impress! Square Bands Believe it or not, this shape is actually more comfortable than the traditional round band. Rose gold The "pink" gold has made a serious comeback with its feminine hue. Plus, it's flattering with every skin tone! Opals Personally, I am biased to OPALS as I am an October baby! Each stone is different than the next, which makes for a truly unique and one of a kind ring! Pear shaped This setting is sure to elongate and slim your [...]

Remembering loved ones on your Wedding Day!

It’s your wedding day! A day of celebration and love with your family and friends- of course this includes those who have passed away! There are a variety of different ways to cast remembrance, and they can be as subtle and symbolic as you’d like. One TIP we have before you start- check with any family members that could be sensitive to the death, the last thing you want are happy wedding tears to turn into sad memorial service tears. Pin their photos to your bouquet or boutonniere! There's also locket cufflinks! Include their favorite flowers in your bouquet! Light a candle in their memory! Include in your program that you have lit a candle in memory of those who are there in spirit, but not in person! Dance to their favorite song! Or play their favorite song for some of the ceremony music! Place a flower and a picture of them on a seat at the ceremony! Cut a piece of your loved ones clothing (tie, scarf, dress, etc.) and have it sewn on the inside of your dress or fiancé's suit! The Groom can wear the tie of a passing loved one! Hang picture frames from chairs down the aisle of family members who couldn't be there. Release a biodegradable lantern, doves or butterflies during the wedding in their honor. Have a special toast for them at the reception. Have a charity that guests can make a donation to in lieu of your loved one! (Could be loved pets that you are remembering as well) Have their special recipe as part of you menu or dessert table! Have a memory table at your reception with photos [...]

Top 10 Reasons to Get Married in Sarasota & Bradenton

Picking a location to get married may be easier said than done. There are always the local options in your hometown, a banquet hall or a barn? But why not add some sunshine, beautiful weather, and amazing beaches to your special day? Sarasota and Bradenton are hands down the most beautiful places in Florida, and the nation! So, let’s break it down to the top 10 reasons to get married in Sarasota and Bradenton!   Water, Water and More Water Picture this- you’re in your breathtaking gown with your new husband standing on the beach and the calming sound of the waves is the soundtrack to your gorgeous sunset pictures!

Top Wedding Trends for 2017 Continued!

Thought we were done?? We were just getting started! Let’s keep things rolling with more of the top trends for the upcoming year!!  Macramé  Now is the time to wish you had paid closer attention to your grandmother while she knit you a scarf! 1970 might have had its highlighting moments with macramé, but it has been making its way into more and more weddings in renewed and unexpected ways! It is a perfect accent for the bride who is looking to keep a boho flare to their special day!    Rompers In our last blog, we talked about floral bridesmaid dresses- well the fun doesn’t stop there! Everyone knows that the bride tribe is the best possible team of ladies you could ask for. So, here’s a new flare to keep your ladies comfortable and ready to party all night long- ROMPERS! I’d have to say my favorite part about romps is the ability to wear normal bras! Everyone hates having to tug up a strapless or worry if the sticky part on your sticky bra will make it through the night! The only ‘bad’ part about the one piece is a little added effort in going to the ladies’ room, but it’s well worth the cute and versatile look!  Geodes & Agates Weddings Rock! Literally. Yes, rocks…but not the dirty ones in your backyard. Geodes, rocks with sparkling crystals on the inside; and Agate slices, which have a unique pattern of vibrant and soft colors and a rich tone and texture to any wedding. From table numbers to place cards to cake toppers, these gems have been found at elegant ballrooms to rustic barns!  Stained Glass Cakes Stained [...]

2017 Wedding Trends

The New Year is right around the corner! Worried that your special day will fall into the pattern of the typical wedding – fear no more! We have everything you need to be one step ahead of other brides!   Color of the Year The 2017 Wedding color of the year is in: Kale! Not only is the vegetable naturally radiating your hair and skin – it’s now entering the realm of fashion. The lush and natural green shade is setting the tone for more earthy and muted weddings. Looking for a complimentary color? Consider primrose yellow for spring and lapis blue for fall.          “Weeding” What you are about to read is not a joke- Marijuana is making a grand entrance to weddings in 2017. Whether it be a weed centerpiece at the reception, some moist “special” brownies as favors for guests or the setting of couple’s engagement photos, we can expect the festive tonic to be appearing more often over years to come. Legal recreational states such as Colorado, Alaska, Oregon and Washington are slowly starting to look at marijuana like alcohol- a wedding must have. Move over Florida! Destination weddings with a twist could bring you to one of these weed-legal states for BYOC (bring your own cannabis) nuptials! No longer is weed being looked down upon, it has taken on a whole new face as being classy, modern and sophisticated. So, will you be saying “I Do” with a cannabis bouquet in hand?   Pocket Bout The pocket boutonniere is making a comeback! A common complaint when it comes to boutonnieres is that guys don’t want to wear flowers so close to their face – or that they cringe [...]
