Reflect Your Personality With The Unexpected

Having worked with numerous couples and individuals for over 25 years in planning and consulting a variety of weddings and events, I know that no two are exactly alike. Each event has been as unique as the individual or individuals it was planned for as it should be. Your wedding day should be everything you've ever dreamed of. It should reflect your personality, style and family traditions. Gone are they days of cookie cutter weddings where nothing much changed except the color scheme. There was one kind of wedding cake, white (vanilla) and your basic reception menu was wedding cake, nuts, mints and punch. Today's weddings are full of flair, color, style and originality. Your only limitation is your imagination and of course your budget. You and your guests should still observe basic wedding etiquette and manners as you don't want your special day to become a free for all, but not so steeped in formality that they are boring, uninviting or stiff. From a small intimate gathering to the grandest affair your wedding day should be fun and enjoyable not only for you, but your guests as well. Your family and friends have come to celebrate with you and should feel welcome and comfortable. If they do your celebration is sure to be a day of rejoicing, festivity and memory making that will last a lifetime. You've waited a long time for this day so savor and enjoy every minute of it. It will go by quickly.

A former bride of mine decided to add an element of interest in an unexpected way. She went with the theme of " A Night of Romance and Dancing Under the Stars"! Instead of a traditional wedding cake she opted for an ice sculpture of a wedding cake with the top tier being an actual cake which she and the groom cut. Guests were served elegant cupcakes of their choice of two different flavors. The "Ice Cake" was displayed atop a mirrored light box which projected light through the cake and added yet another element of romance. So, put on your thinking caps and let your imagination run wild. The sky's the limit.
