Now that winter is almost at it’s tail end it’s time to start diving into some spring wedding tips and tricks. Prepare yourself for pastels and fresh flowers. As much as I LOVE outdoor wedding ceremonies, make sure you have a back up plan that involves indoors or a well secured tent/canopy. Whether we like it or not, spring weather can be very unpredictable hence the saying April showers bring May flowers. Incase it does downpour on your big day, don’t get discouraged. As long as you have a back up plan (which your wedding planner should assist with) you’ll be just fine. PLUS - I’ve seen some really cool wedding photos taken out in the rain for couples who are daring enough to go out for a few shots with their umbrellas. 

There are so many fun spring decor options to jazz up your ceremony and reception sites. A fun and simple DIY is to spray paint some wine bottles (I love gold and shimmery gold but you could also opt for a more pastel color for the spring) and stick some flowers in them. You could then place these at the entry table or as centerpieces. A fun DIY youtube tutorial will be coming soon on this, I promise! Stay tuned, loveys :)

How To Spice Up Your Bridal Shower

Bridal Showers are AWESOME for the couple. I mean, who wouldn’t love getting showered with gifts and hanging out with a bunch of fun ladies? Unfortunately for the guests, they can be a bit tedious at times. So how do you get your shower to stand out and be fun for everyone? Below are a few ideas to jazz things up a bit ;)

• A mimosa bar. Enough Said. How fun! 
• Lots of treats accompanied by a fun back drop
• Get a photo booth or set up a backdrop where guests can get their pictures taken
• It’s now becoming more and more common to have your future hubby at the shower as well. Take advantage of this and have questions created for the two of you to answer on the spot. I’ve seen it done where the couple will sit back to back in chair, and each have a prop to represent both themselves and their fiance. A question is asked such as “who made the first move” and they’ll have to answer the question by holding up the appropriate prop. (example shown above in the photos attached to this post)
• Have guests write advise for the soon to be newlyweds 
• Good party favors are a must. They don’t have to be expensive either. A mini bottle of champagne, or a mini spa package with nail polish and facial cream, etc. You can find lots of ideas for this via Pinterest

Until next time, folks!

Hey Loveys! 

This post is all about wedding cake (obviously) and what types of questions you should be asking your baker. The average cake consists of three tiers and typically will serve anywhere from 125-150 people. Around six months out from your wedding is when you should be determining the style cake you want and start scheduling tastings. By the time four months prior hits you and your fiancé need to make sure you’ve selected and ordered this delicious wedding dessert. 

Note: It is now becoming more popular to serve cupcakes for couples who are not a huge fan of cake or have a lower budget. Great alternative :)

Questions You Should Be Asking:

> What size will be needed for (enter guest count)

> Will there be additional charges for delivery and set up?

> Does the cost include stands, columns or cake supporters?

> Will there be a cake cutting charge if the reception site doesn’t provide one? 

> What deposit is required and when is the final payment due?

> Will it be delivered in layers and then assembled onsite, or will it be delivered ready to go? Are there extra charges for assembly?
