I found this amazing website that has custom parasols from everything with a simple word to your initials or Just Married.  I think the parasols are a great addition of beauty and are a great prop for your photographer.  Visit www.iDoOriginals.com and see what other great personalized items they have.

What is your favorite accessory on your wedding day?

Veiled, unveiled or adorned…

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

It’s what you dream of, it’s what you envision and it’s who you are.  You may be simple, or complicated, not care at all or you may be very precise about what you desire.  What you place in your hair may also depend on the shape of the hair, the detail, the height.  It can all depend on your dress and it’s details, shape and cut.  OH, all these decisions.  But most of all it’s who you are and what you desire.

Jolie chose simple and classic.  It’s soft like her dress and the simpleness of her hair expresses who she is.   She is a classic beauty.  Less is more.

Sara is structured and again classic.  It’s contained under her beautiful veil that she chose to wear during her ceremony that floated in the wind outside.  It went beautifully with her low back dress.  Her hair was low and had beautiful crystal hair pins placed to the side for later when she removed her veil.  The placement of a low veil is so beautiful.

Peggy is a classic goddess.  She has ordained herself with a tiara and who would not want to be a princess for a day.  Simple but a bold statement of crowning glory and they come in all sizes.  This perfectly matches her beautiful down style.  This is a replicated style of her wedding day for The Bliss Book.

Lindsey is beachy and fun.  She has ordained herself with a beautiful orchid straight from a Key West garden.  Keeping in mind a flower that will with stand the heat and tighter curls that will hold in the humidity.  Sometimes as a bride you have to think of reality in the heat, she could have never done a veil she was wise to flower it up with natural beauty instead.

Jenny chose high and classic.  She has doubled up the fun with ordained and veiled.  She was the bride that had envisioned her look from the very beginning from hair, tiara, veil placement.  She had plenty of height in her hair to push her veil up in the back.  Her look was complete and matched her dreams.

What is your veiled, adorned or unadorned dream?

Gwen’s Cake Decorating & Etc:

So I had Gwen’s cake and I had like two pieces.  So good and usually wedding cake is to sweet for me but I had her white cake with the peanut butter creme filling and it was good.  Then I had taken a piece home for my husband and I was so hungry and just wanted a taste to see how the vanilla creme tasted.  Seriously I ate the whole piece on the way home and then told my husband, what a pig.  This cake was delic, moist and tasted like cake and you know why it’s because she doesn’t freeze them.  It had texture like homemade cake and the butter creme frosting was yummy for all of you who love butter creme.
Check out her website ,Gwen’s Cake Decorating, she has picture choices, cupcakes & cookies too.  She has at least 19 different cake flavors and 13 filling choices.  Gwen’s cake decorating is located in Saline, MI .

Chef House Catering:

YUMMY!  Traver Lucas brought with him a cucumber sorbet and you would never think of such a thing.  I thought at first it would be a different taste but it was sweet and had the clean taste of cucumber.  It was so simple and light I could have eaten a whole bowl full, I am craving it now.  They suggested it would be a perfect dish for a shower or a brunch.
