love is in the air

post from little winter bride on 09 September 2010 03:13:11 PM. © little winter bride

Love is definitely in the air. I just found out my dear dear friends got engaged!
Oh, I am super super happy and soooo excited for them. K. is my childhood friend\sister\nyc roomie during my college days\early twenties pretending to be adults, basically she is my bff.....we have been there and back. When I fell in love and moved from NYC to Italy, the distance was tough but we managed. Then she fell in love and moved to San Fran, widening the distance even more....but somehow we still managed. Managed meaning, plenty of meetings around the globe (nyc, raleigh, italy, greece and san fran) and some places multiple times, all within the span of the last three years. Srsly. We really should just think about living in the same town, it be easier on our bank accounts.
Oh my head is spinning happiness and of course wedding ideas. I know it will be a unique, whimsical, intimate affair in the hills of Northern Cali wine country but the question is where? any ideas my friends? do share.....

Real Wedding : marrying on top of a mountain
overlooking Lake Tahoe

post from Brenda's Wedding Blog on 09 September 2010 03:12:36 PM. © Brenda's Wedding Blog

Today's views from the wedding of Mike and Sarah are spectacular. Photographed by Ocean Blue Photography and Design, the couple married on top of a mountain and said their vows overlooking Lake Tahoe. Such amazing scenery and everyone who attended rode the tram up the top of the mountain.

I love the desserts Mike and Sarah served their guests - wedding pies. There was also a cupcake for the bride and groom to feed each other.

A unique feature of their wedding as having a friend sing them a song, accompanied by a 2nd friend on guitar as the newlyweds did a slow dance.

Thank you Ocean Blue Photography and Design for sharing today's "wedding with a view" with my readers today.

Sniff

post from The Office Bride on 09 September 2010 02:15:27 PM. © The Office Bride

I know there's going to be a lot of tears (hopefully happy ones) on the day of the wedding, so I wanted to be well prepared for myself and for the women around me. While I could have gone with a boring pack of tissues at the drug store for 49 cents each, I thought I would splurge a little and pick up some fun Sniff products. May as well cry in style, right? You've probably seen them at random stores, and there are hundreds of designs to choose from.

I picked these cuties up at Indigo, for my future SILs:

And when I saw these "manly" tissues, I knew had to pick up a few for the dads!

The moms are getting handkerchiefs I purchased in a Portugese store in Kensington Market. And I think I'll buy my MOH a box of kleenex - both because it's funny, and she will likely need that much anyway, lol.

Bad news for brides: Carrying your partner over
the threshold is thing of the past as 'cheesy' wedding traditions dying out

post from Weddings Abroad - Destination Weddings on 09 September 2010 01:13:08 PM. © Weddings Abroad - Destination Weddings

Wedding traditions such as asking the bride's father for his daughter's hand in marriage are dying out, a study revealed today.
Researchers found the courteous gesture of asking the future father-in-law for his permission is now considered 'too cheesy'.
Another tried and tested wedding day custom which has died out is having Just Married stickers or tin cans on the car, which is now thought of as 'too noisy'.
As for the bride wearing something old, new, borrowed and blue, this tradition too has fallen by the wayside due to it being 'impractical', the study showed.

Dads picking up the bill for their daughters' nuptials is also a thing of the past at many weddings, as is the groom carrying the bride across the threshold because most couples now co-habit before their nuptials.
But it's not all bad news for brides.
Among traditions which are still alive are the groom going down on one knee to ask for his bride's hand in marriage, and big bouquets of flowers for both mums.
The trend emerged in a study of 5,000 married adults by The Wedding Inbox, an online wedding directory which helps couples prepare for the big day.
Yesterday spokesman Mitesh Lad said: 'It's a sign of the times that some wedding traditions are dying out, especially the bride's father picking up the bill.
'Weddings are more flamboyant and lavish than ever before so subsequently they cost a lot more. Therefore many couples and even in-laws all have to chip in to help pay for the big day............
