Ceremony Decor

post from Wed2010 {Twenty Ten} on 11 June 2009 03:38:00 PM. © Wed2010 {Twenty Ten}

I've been thinking a lot about how to make our ceremony site standout. It's really pretty on it's own but I want to add just a little something. I love the look of chinese lanterns and pomanders - but I just feel like they've worn their welcome. Honestly, they are in every wedding magazine out there. With our wedding day still being a year out I feel like they will be even more passé. I'll keep thinking about it, in the meantime if you have any ideas let me know.

Anyone else planning a 2010 Wedding worried about staying ahead of the trends?

buy an engagement ring alone

post from Engagement 101 Magazine on 11 June 2009 03:27:59 PM. © Engagement 101 Magazine

The grand ‘ol debate around these parts is who should buy the engagement ring. It seems most women are frightened at the idea of their boyfriend being left alone in a jewelry store, but luckily, jewelry designer Ritani just launched something that should put those worrisome thoughts to rest. Their recently launched free concierge service [...]

I'm Sharing Secrets I've Never Let Go Before

post from .: momentsTHATshine.blogspot.com :. on 11 June 2009 03:10:00 PM. © .: momentsTHATshine.blogspot.com :.

I love paper. I love invitations. I love being creative.

I don't, however, love pocketfolds. It my be because they use a lot of materials or because so many people want them. But one of my biggest pet peeves about this particular style is they're incredibly time consuming. That doesn't mean I won't do them at all (so you can still request them ;)) but to divulge a bit of a secret, if you want to watch your budget, ditch the pocketfolds. As a business owner I have to charge more for them and it's not because I'm making a huge profit ... it's because of the materials and, more importantly, the labour involved.

Since a great number of people still love these little gems, I came up with a bit of a compromise ... a 'Faux Pocketfold'. It gives the illusion of a pocket and still holds the inserts in place ... but it isn't a glued down piece of paper. That means less materials are required and I'm not sitting around for extra hours putting these together!

Included in this post are a few Faux Pockets I've done in the past.

As you can see, monograms aren't affected at all ... you're still able to do whatever you want on the front! When open, you can see the inside is the same as a regular invite as well. We're still able to do funky graphics, customize your fonts and even show off ribbon.

The fun aspect of this invitation design is how the inserts lay. Everything is still together in a neat package for your guests and you have a happy Stationeer in me because we've come up with a fun and affordable solution!

In all, these invites can save you upwards of 10%-15% of your bill ... just by rearranging your thinking a bit. Give us a shout at products@momentsthatshine.com to find out more!

Florida Wedding Photographers

One of the most difficult plans that must be made in preparation for your wedding is a photographer. You want your wedding photographer to capture each special moment. Their fees can be costly and so you want to make sure you have the “best” photographer. Agnes Lopez Photography is my photography pick for Northern Florida. Her style is unique and bold. She won the 2008-2009 Best Pick for Weddings by The Knot. Visit her website and see what she is all about!
