Christin and Tom & Joanne and Brian 's wedding

When I mentioned Christin and Tom's wedding then I also have to mentioned Joanne and Brian's wedding at the same time. Because Christin and Joanne are best friend and each other maid of honor, they are really close to each other.

They planned their wedding together so when Christin found me she also brought Joanne along and once we met, we all felt connect to each other and the rest is history. Both of them are the big fan of music video and they both choose the Up Beat songs for… Continue

Wearing White

The following is reproduced from the AAWP. It is a great discourse on the bridal white that so many women wear.

Why do brides wear white? We know that white symbolizes purity and virginity-but what's the real reason? The answer dates back to 1840 when Victoria, Queen of England, married her Prince Charming, Albert, in a wedding that set protocol on its ear. The young Queen was only 20 when SHE proposed marriage to Albert. According to the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, all royal… Continue

Eric Gill explains - The British Toastmaster History - How it all Began

Eric Gill The Wedding Toastmaster & Master of Ceremonies.

History of Toastmasters.

The history of the Toastmaster is in many ways shrouded in mystery, as very little documentation has survived. It is known that there have been Keepers of the Wine and in ancient times, the controller of the wine was called the Arbiter Bibendi; it was these who dictated the flow and service of whatever beverage was being served to the gathering.

However there is evidence that… Continue

Some housekeeping rules

For some reason, my blog posting has been down, so in defense of the cyber system, let's hope I am back on track with today's posting!

Here are some housekeeping items that brides will want to take note of:

1. Make sure that all vendors are paid in full prior to your wedding date. We don't like having to hound you on the day of your wedding or calling you after the fact. We really dislike the money issue.

2. Make sure that you bring something to take your left… Continue

Using Solid Colors in Design with Letterpress

You all know I am a fan of color. With almost any design, a variety of color will most likely enhance the overall product. Recently people have been asking me if it is possible to use solid colors with letterpress. This is an interesting question that does not have one simple answer.

Yes, obviously we can use a solid color in a letterpress design.

the wedding crasher (post wedding depression)

Nowhere near as fun as Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughan crashing your reception is a nasty case of Post-Wedding Depression that can affect brides after their big day.

There are numerous reasons why a bride or groom might fall crash after their big day.

The Wedding Dump

As I have affectionately named it due to its similarity to the post-superman ride at Movie World feeling. Just like a scary rollercoaster the months and days leading up to your wedding are all go,… Continue

You are Cordially Invited to "A WEDDING in a BOX".....

Article from The Downingtown Daily Local Paper (8/8/09)

You could say that five designing women were thinking outside the box when they came up with the idea of packaging their talents inside a box.

Specifically, "A Wedding in a Box."

The friends' services and products — custom jewelry, honeymoon planning, photography, makeup consulting and yoga/massage — don't literally come packed in a box, of course.

But for the time and frustration the one-stop… Continue
