Princess for a Day

Yesterday was Ashley's day to be a princess. When she came to me to start the planning process I asked her to give me three words that would best describe what she was looking for. Her answer - princess, red and purple.

It was then my job to bring this fairy tale to reality -

The fairy tale came true -

Ashley has been one of the sweetest, most gracious clients I have had. Her Groom, Ricky and her entire family were wonderful to work with.

I wish Ashley & Ricky the very best that life has to offer them. They are a very deserving couple.

More Wedding Traditions

It is fun to tell brides about some time-honored traditions, which bring a sense of history to wedding events. One tradition that most couples choose to follow is the exchange of rings. And it's still customary for the groom to ask the bride's family for their blessings before the engagement. While Queen Victoria of England is credited with being the first to wear a white wedding gown as a sign of affluence, American brides should feel free to choose any shade of white or ivory or subtle color. A veil was once used to cover the bride's head while she was being captured. In other cultures one was also worn to protect the bride from evil spirits. For brides who seek a more contemporary feel, a headband, tiara or flowers might be the right accessory to complete the headpiece and/or veil. Receiving lines, once thought to be the way to share good fortune with everyone the bridal couple touched, are often replaced by couples making their way from table to table during dinner. The important thing to remember is to use the traditions that work for you and feel free to adapt them to your contemporary needs.
