Michelle & Joel ~ July 25, 2014
There once was a boy who fought
fires
And a girl who couldn't resist her desires
To marry her dream boy
After nine years of playing coy
She thought he was spinning her tires
All day they spent at the mall
The Christmas rush almost started a brawl
He hugged her extra tight that day
Careful not to give it away
It ended abruptly when he got a fire call
She waited for what seemed [...]

When I think of a brooch, I think of my Grandmother; old, dated, and tacky pieces of jewelry...until I saw what she had. I was proven wrong when I saw the amazing pieces she had, and actually started imagining them on different gown designs I had seen.

My favourite thing about a wedding is that they reflect the relationship between the Bride and the Groom. If you're beach bums, a beach destination wedding is what to have; if you're religious, a traditional church wedding. Really, the possibilities are endless.

The thing about Waterton is that it's not overcrowded. As much as I love Banff and Jasper, I want my day [...]

It was our two year anniversary date on November 1, 2011...
Gina & Eric ~ 8/11/2012
Since Eric and I are in a long distance relationship, I was thrilled for Eric to come out to see me and go on our very special two year date. Eric had planned a fun date for two in Regina. We normally exchange gifts in the beginning, but Eric said that his gift would have to wait, thinking nothing of it, I said, "okay!" The day began. We went out for lunch at [...]
As a graphic designer who has been in the wedding invitation industry for more than eight years, I have seen my share of trends. This season, Weddings are all about the colour purple!
Purple has been popular in high fashion, home accessories and now seeps down into wedding styles as seen in modern and bold damask prints, silk ribbon, and wax seals. "Regal and mysterious, purple is a glorious yet very complex colour, preferred by very creative and eccentric types," states Pantone's Book - A guide to communicating with colour. Commonly paired with black, grey or cream, [...]

There are five main parts that constitute a bride’s wedding day look – the dress, the shoes, the undergarments, the hair, and finally the jewelry. Although most brides think about the first four in great deal, some tend to overlook the last choice. The problem is though that the jewelry they wear can make or break your outfit. Too much and it will overshadow the dress you spent hours searching for, and add up to a gaudy look. Too little and it may not give your entire appearance that little extra glitz that it needs. Although [...]

A serious discussion that was unforgettable...
Denise & Deon 6/15/2013
They were relaxing 5 days after their 3 year anniversary and talking about future plans. Denise had been in college taking an Early Childhood Education course and Deon was talking about looking for a course he was interested in. They began talking about moving to another town or city if she found a job elsewhere when she graduated from her course; Deon kept talking about the future. This made her feel so happy; then he turned to her with [...]
When it comes to weddings, the reception is the biggest overall expense. It encompasses the location, the possibility of feeding all your guests, drinks, dancing, and just the general party you want to be hosting in order to finish the celebration of your big day off right. Last week I had the chance to meet up with a good friend of mine for lunch. Tamara is currently in the midst of planning her nuptials, which is going to be taking place next September in Banff, and I was able to pick her brain on [...]

Leading up to your wedding, you have a million and one things on your to-do list: flowers, dresses, tuxedos, invitations, honeymoon planning - but don't forget about a key part in your wedding mayhem, your rehearsal dinner! Here are a few tips and ideas for you!
A rehearsal dinner is a gathering for the wedding party and family of the bride and groom. Because most weddings are formal with a sit-down dinner, it's a good idea to have a more casual dinner the night before. For example, renting out [...]
A little while ago, couple John and Michelle got married at the Brock House Restaurant in Vancouver. What grabbed our attention was the simple and elegant theme of their wedding: black and white.
Michelle, wearing a gorgeous ruffled piece, walked down the outdoor isle, scattered with white rose petals, carrying white roses, while her husband-to-be John, was waiting excitedly.
Michelle was preceded by her six beautiful bridesmaids, who were all wearing black dresses. Each dress was different - some strapless, some with one strap, one a halter - and they were all uniquely designed to [...]
Weddings can be expensive, so many brides are turning to DIY flower options to save a little money. It gives you a chance to let your creative juices flow and to add a personal touch to your decor. Plus, it gives you more freedom when choosing the flower types and accessories.
For centerpieces, you don't have to stick to flowers alone. Branches, twigs, vines, and even dried wheat can be used depending on the time of year and your theme. Spice them up with decorative crystals, textured spray paint, or satin ribbons. You can [...]
A big question for a bride is how to do her make-up on her wedding day. What is too much? What is not enough? What should be accentuated? Eyes? Lips? Or nothing? Since eyes tend to be the biggest issue many women have, we'll discuss this.
2012 has started off with a bang, using a lot of bold colours as accents in what would be seemingly dull outfits - bright shoes, scarves, and jewelry have been used to add that "pop" for your everyday outings. Well, the same has been going for weddings as [...]

What Moving Stories does is not the 'traditional' approach. Each couple is special, and Moving Stories tries to bring out what is special in each of their relationships. They do this by encouraging them to do interviews so they can find out things about each other straight from them or their close friends and family. Things like how they met, why they will succeed as a couple, and some questions about how they know each other. Moving Stories then take these interviews and cuts them with the footage collected during the [...]

You, honorary and best people, should make an emergency bag for you respective parties, and here's what to include:
For the Bridal Party:
When going to a wedding, it's typically customary to bring some sort of gift. Usually the happy couple will register at a useful store, with a list of the things they want or need, and guests from the wedding can purchase them. Usually these places stores, like The Bay, Campers Village, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Outfitters and Sears to name a few, all with the intentions of buying the bride and groom that lovely crystal bowl which they can serve [...]

This year The Bridal Fantasy Group gave out ribbons for the following:
The date has been set, the invitations mailed out. The bridesmaids and groomsmen have been chosen, and colors decided upon. All of these things provide you a general idea of what your day is going to look like, but when your guests walk into that ceremony, what do you want them to see?
Over the years I've gone to my fair share of family weddings, and as I'm getting older, I've started getting more invites to dear friends of mines special days. And the one thing that remains consistent throughout is the ceremony decorations.

Michelle's Grower Direct might be new to Bridal Fantasy but we are not new to the wedding world. Our team had a fantastic first show in Calgary. It was a lot of fun to interact with brides and find out what they are looking for in the 2012-2013 wedding seasons. We are finding brides are looking for simple yet elegant bouquets for their special day and the biggest hit was the bling that we placed in and around the arrangements; definitely a show stopper. The fashion show [...]
A love relationship demands great 'maintenance' from both partners. It is not that effort is required only to improve a relationship. Effort is necessary even to maintain the relationship in status quo!
The common understanding is that love changes after the dating period and affection is on a decline. Why does it happen this way? The answer is actually very simple. The love and affection seem to be on a decline because the efforts put in are on a decline. In the dating phase, both partners go out of their way to keep the other happy and smiling and the efforts [...]

On December 23, 2011 I finally got married. After months of planning, drama, and stress, it's over. It went perfectly, even better than we thought that it would. The ceremony was beautiful, the dinner delicious, and the guests entertaining and supportive. The schedule that I had been working on for weeks was followed exactly, to my surprise.
After the ceremony I expected to feel like a wife. I thought there would be some sort of feeling of relief, or a 'walking on the clouds' sort of atmosphere. Instead, I feel exactly the same as [...]

Today, my wedding is a week away. My mother and grandmother will arrive tomorrow evening and then comes complete insanity. Don't get me wrong, I am excited, but having the 3 of us together in my tiny house is going to be interesting. You see, they asked me to wait on some things until they got here so that they could help out. Such as my shoes, my hair appointment, make-up, and my flowers. Now I am starting to think this was a bad idea.
Since the end of November, I keep having extremely vivid and disturbing dreams about my [...]
Since we are quickly approaching the date of my wedding, there isn't much left to do. As I write this, I still have one last dress fitting in about a week, and we have to pick up my fiancé's tux about a week before the wedding. Other than that, we are waiting.
So far, the hardest part of planning has been worrying about other people-who we should invite as a witness, if we would hurt someone's feelings, how to please everyone. That's why we decided to make it very small. We are getting married in front of and having a small [...]
After deciding the date and the province, my fiancé and I moved onto planning the more intricate details. We started with an officiant. Neither of us are particularly religious and we wanted a small, simple ceremony. I set to work contacting all of the Alberta officiants in the Edmonton area and quickly learned that their prices vary quite radically.
Eventually we found the one that would work for us. Her price was right, and her personality and ceremony ideas matched ours. She suggested we do a sand ceremony after saying our vows, which we both thought was a great idea. Next [...]
2012 is going to be a year of color and sparkle for wedding trends in both decor and fashion. Fuchsia, turquoise, grey, and coral are all in and promise to provide decorations that pop and accessories that call for attention.
Because of the popularity of vintage weddings, bridal accessory trends for 2012 will include big, sparkly bracelets, chandelier earrings, and delicate brooches. This year will be all about sparkle and shine with an antique touch. Pearls are also an excellent alternative for a bride who wants a softer look. Birdcage veils are going [...]

aisle without making it look like you're on your way to the North
Pole? Here are some ideas that will make your walk up the aisle one
to remember. To get away from the holiday feel, try using colors
like silver or blue. [...]
As much as I love fashion, trends seem to be going through a revolving door. Pieces and styles that were popular 15 years ago seem to be consistently making a comeback. For instance, in today’s society you might look around the room and see flare-legged jeans coming back, shoulder pads in boyfriend blazers, fedoras, tapered pants, oxford shoes, wide black rimmed glasses. Everything revolves, albeit with slight and subtle differences to make things neater, but things are essentially the same.
In today’s celebrity culture, things are taking a step back [...]

Now that you’re engaged, don’t be surprised if your mom pulls out a dusty box from storage with her old wedding dress in it to reminisce.
When you’re styling your bridal gown, keep this saying in mind: “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue.” Finding something new, something borrowed and something blue is the easy part; but finding something old can be a little trickier.

I've seen numerous Disney and movie inspired weddings, but this Super Mario themed wedding is definitely a first for me.

Casual summer hairdos are not just for everyday wear. Many brides today are opting for more simple hairstyles for their wedding day as well. Destination wedding brides love how a more casual hairdo fits with their relaxed seaside theme, and brides having a traditional church wedding like a more nonchalant hairdo because it's delightfully sweet and simple. Inspired by the image above, which I got from Schwarzkopf featuring a bride with a cute and simple hairdo . . . perfect for a fun summer wedding!

If you've ever been to a wedding, you know that the conventional guest book idea is one that usually ends up containing very repetitive messages and entries from guests.

To inspire your guests to just speak from the heart, here are some simple but creative ideas for a guest book-type concept!

Before tying the knot at an
intimate Fairytale wedding in Santa Barbara, Mike Comrie and Hilary
Duff signed a prenuptial agreement. Though they don't sound very
romantic, prenups are actually an extremely smart way to organize
finances, property ownership, debt resolution and asset division,
etc., should something happen to end a marriage. What does this
mean? That couples know where they stand financially at the
beginning of their life together. Basically, if Hilary and Mike
split up, they already have agreements in place to protect their
respective interests, and [...]

Inspired by this wedding ritual, Malene Grotrian Design helps brides to restore their mother's or grandmothers wedding dress and turn it into a modern couture wedding for the new [...]

Top 10 Groom's Survival Tips Although most of our blogs are for the brides to be, this one is for the grooms...
There are some things that a guy just has to know when preparing for the big day. With these tips, getting ready for the big day should be a bit more manageable.
1. Make a date with your fiance to get the marriage license. You must purchase your marriage license from the province/territory/country where your wedding will take place. If you are planning to marry in another country, [...]
The jewellery that you choose to wear on your wedding day is the single element that ties your whole look together. Are you looking for something glam and vintage, or delicate and feminine? Ostentatious, or subtle?
Traditionally, bridal jewellery is characterized by white crystal or pearls in a silver or gold setting. This look is timeless and lovely, but for those brides out there who are looking for something a little more unique, there are many [...]
Lipstick is the quickest and easiest way to define your personality and bring a splash of colour to your face. It is the world's most widely used cosmetic product, and not only gives colour to the face, but can actually protect the lips from damaging environmental effects.
Consider the look that you want for your wedding, and be sure that whoever is doing your makeup understands what you want. Do a dress-rehearsal at least a few days before the wedding to make sure that you look exactly [...]
A bride's bouquet is just as much a part of her wedding ensemble as her gown and veil. Empty hands look lonely, and carrying flowers is a traditional and romantic way to complete your look.
With so many different flowers and arrangements to choose from, making the decision can be exceedingly difficult. How big do you want your bouquet to be? What kind of flowers? Do you want to use only one kind, or a variety?
Compare the sizes and colours of the flowers that you have chosen to the colour of your gown to make [...]
Choosing a veil can seem like a very daunting task if you don't know what you're looking for. One-tiered or two? How long? Beaded, ribboned, or unembellished? The wearing of the bridal veil dates back to the days of Ancient Rome, and though its style and cultural meaning has changed over time, it continues to [...]

It all started last July when Reed Palmer, the
owner and designer of Soleil Shoe
Company , attended a wedding. He saw the bride and bridesmaid
had kicked off their heels and were all dancing barefoot at the
reception. Dancing barefoot in dresses that cost hundreds of
dollars!
He thought to himself "there
has to be a more practical and fashionable solution." He designed a
ballet flat that can roll or fold to fit into your clutch or purse
for [...]
We've all been there, sitting at a beautiful wedding ceremony when the music stops and there is "dead air". The CD or MP3 recording has stopped and the bridesmaid is not quite down the aisle. Instantly, the romantic atmosphere of the entire ceremony is in jeopardy. Live musicians ensure that this won't happen to you. Your music will be seamless, uninterrupted and totally unique to you on your dream day. Live musicians can also enhance your [...]

On the
other side, we are still seeing the body-hugging silhouette, great
for a girl with a fab figure. Fifties-style glamour is back in with
its full-out Hollywood style and glamour. Big bows, belted
waistlines and the absolutely stunning couture you see in "Mad
Men".
One trendy post processing technique is called Texturing. The key to texturing is picking the right type of textures, and the right combination to give the photo a special feel.
Boe Lefebvre, of Pokedog Photography, utilizes a variety of techniques. For example, he says:
"I might overlay an image of a scuffed up cement wall to give the [...]

Severed Shoe - a broken heel is basically impossible to
fix on the spot so act like a boy scout and always be prepared.
Bring an extra pair of shoes with you. They don't have to be the
exact same shoe - just have the same heel height. If you don't have
a spare pair, don't do barefoot - at least not for the ceremony or
the pictures. Borrow some shoes from a guest or one of [...]

Wanting to go a little on the
wild side? Then introduce a bohemian vibe to your wedding with some
magenta, purple, golden yellow and sky blue. Work that little bit
of whimsy in with your cake, your invitations by using personal
touches, colour and design or in your flowers. Use a lot of colour
and optimism, it's your wedding. A time to celebrate after all,
it's not all doom and gloom out there. The Bohemian Bride
definitely gives out a positive, colourful, creative energy vibe.
Bold and beautiful is the key
for wedding colors this year. Past color schemes such as lilac with
purple tones, or chocolate browns with soft greens are likely to
continue, but will be reinvented through outbursts of fresher, more
vivid colors. No matter which color you choose, think bright,
saturated, and exotic. So how do you use these bright colors
without going overboard? The trick is to have the major elements
simple and classic. Keep your wedding gown elegant and traditional
and carefully coordinate it with your bridesmaid's dresses and
groomsmen [...]
Jen Tavaroli from Atmosphere Wedding Planning

menus to amplify the mood of the decor. The elegant centerpiece
uses clear wine glasses, basic candles, and glamorous diamonds to
create a sense of love and comfort. The romance [...]
