Revolutionizing the Wedding Industry, One Blog at a Time.
Wedding favours are optional, no matter what anyone tells you. I can guarantee you that most of the time, they aren’t even used. It’s completely acceptable to just save the money and forgo them. BUT- if you’re really into the idea, and the concept of neatly-wrapped little gifts for your guests just makes you happy…
A wedding is considered a “destination wedding” when it involves more than two hours’ driving to get there. I personally think that’s an overly broad definition, but maybe that’s because I’m a bit of a travel snob who doesn’t see intra-provincial travel as “real travelling”. Don’t get me wrong, I love taking trips to a…
Not every wedding needs flowers… And not every bride needs a bouquet. But if you are involving real florals in your wedding, then chances are, you’re spending a lot of money on them. Which is all fine and dandy… but that’s a lot of money to spend on something that you only get to enjoy…
I love proposals. I love them almost as much as weddings. Traditional down-on-one-knee with a ring setup? Love it. Chill, spontaneous proposal on the couch? Yes. Scavenger hunt around the city that leads to your beloved offering you a sword instead of jewellery? Can’t get enough. (That last one was a true story, though. My…
Weddingmoons. It’s a very clumsy-sounding portmanteau, but the concept is pretty great. A Weddingmoon is basically an upgraded destination wedding: You go on your honeymoon, and you get married while you’re there. Getting married. On your honeymoon. Freaking brilliant. Two birds, one stone, right? A weddingmoon works especially well for elopements and microweddings, but can…
Look- I’m not saying that traditional wedding dresses aren’t beautiful pieces of high-quality artisanship that are potentially game-changing for one’s self esteem. But the whole process of wedding dress shopping can be so alienating to a lot of people- most often to those with bigger bodies, disabilities, and trans & non-binary folks. Even those with…
I love flowers. Honestly, I do. But they’re so de rigueur for weddings. And seeing celebrants and their wedding parties walk down the aisle holding bundles of flowers can get kind of unexceptional after a while. I get it- there’s an established tradition that says you have to carry something (usually flowers) on your way…
Why are people so judgmental when it comes to unconventional wedding choices? When I was doing a little research for today’s post, I came across a lot of forum results. Couples who were trying to be strategic, creative, or proactive about solving a problem or putting together a wedding that worked for them were put…
Let me set the scene, here: You just got married. You’re sitting with your new spouse(s) at your reception. Dinner has just been served, and you’re ravenous because you haven’t eaten in ages (possibly since yesterday). You’ve spent the last one to three hours posing for photos, thanking people for coming, putting up with marriage…
Weddings are frustrating. Admittedly, some people (myself included) find planning a big event with lots of minor details fun… but we’re the minority. If most people didn’t find planning a wedding stressful, then planners like myself wouldn’t need to exist. Granted, part of the reason weddings are so stressful for most people is the way…
