You Won't Believe The Origin Of This Wedding...
One of the oldest wedding traditions is for a bride to carry a bouquet down the aisle. Most of us never think twice about it,It is just something that we know should be done. This tradition took root during the Middle Ages in Europe.At a time where hygiene was not the biggest concern,and indoor plumbing was not a luxury men and women only bathed once or twice a year! So when brides were getting...
A Trash The Dress Photo Shoot on Roller Skates!
Time is a funny thing,years ago most brides wanted to keep their wedding dresses for generations,and pass it down to their daughters,and their daughter would continue to pass it down. Then zip back to 2010 and the hottest thing for a bride to do is trash her dress! I think these two options are appealing,on one hand your keeping the memory of your wedding and the other hand your creating a fun new...

How Do You Feel About A Twilight Themed Wedding?

But this stylish wedding is making me rethink my whole stance on the trend.The details are luxe,sensual,romantic without being tacky and literal. Even the bride and groom’s vampire...

Ode to Billy Ball flowers
This maybe a bit of an odd post,but I truly love billy balls. They are flowers,but kind of not flowers,they are not like roses or tulips and are ever given in any romantic gestures. Nobody spreads them across a bed,or says hey you smell like billy ball flowers. Maybe it is because I am always rooting for the underdog,maybe I see a little of myself in those billy ball flowers. They are...
