Even though Libby and Patrick’s wedding was in the late Spring, because it was on a rooftop garden, the temp could get pretty chilly. So we found some simple, white blankets at IKEA for $3.99 and adorned them with cute tags and pink ribbon. Instant adorableness without making much of a ding in our wallets. This is the easiest DIY on the planet and we’ve provided templates to make it even easier! photo by Justin & Mary Marantz To make our Keep Warm Chevron Print tags, download this template. Using a color printer and 80lb white card stock, print out as many sheets as needed. Cut just i... |
As the rain starts up again and the temperatures drop...all I can think about is trying to keep warm...as I have this chill, and I can't get rid of it. You see loves, I am almost ALWAYS cold. I can't explain it, but unless it is above 80, then I probably am cold. I'm sure I've told you this before, however I thought I just might tell you again...why? Well because as you prepare for all the details of your big day, I hope you take into consideration people like me...who are always cold ;-) Granted, I try my hardest to bring something to keep me warm, but if it... |
Hi….now i know it is a small detail but just wanted to share one idea that may get right by you…..The weather channel may tell you it’s going to be warm in the evening but you find out the day before your outside wedding reception.. that the warm night is going to be low 60’s….(don’t laugh but in the west coast that is cold!) You have to order ugly heaters from your rental company and put them in the most beautiful garden that you have taken a year to design ….but keeping your guests comfortable is an important part of a sucessful event. You don’t want your guests to first talk... |

Filed under: Fashion, Gifts and Registries, Wedding party You never know if a venue is going to be too hot or too cold, but it's almost never just right. Men can add or remove jackets as needed, but when women dress formally, it's harder to prepare for temperature extremes. Bringing a sweater or shawl just means an extra burden; something else you might misplace or lose over the course of an evening.Introducing the Chilly Jilly. It's versatile, cute, and compact. Chilly Jillies come in a small carrying pouch that will fit in a purse, and they make great gifts for your bridesmaids. They can be ... |

Here’s five tips to keep you warm if you’re getting married in winter Cover Up The winter bride has the chance to wear a glamorous long sleeve gown.

Imagine you live in Philadelphia. Imagine you’re getting married. Imagine you intend to marry out of doors. What time of year would you choose for your ceremony? Well, if you’re Blair Kahora and Matt Cardinal, you choose December 19. You read that correctly, they chose December 19 for their outdoor wedding at Headhouse Square open air market. They even went ahead with their plans despite the fact that more than twenty inches of snow fell that day. The makeup artist decided to bow out of the proceedings, but Matt and his groomsmen jumped into the fray and called to confirm all the other ven... |
"Baby, it's COLD outside", in Chicago that is!! If you are hosting a winter Chicago wedding, why not have your guests enjoy a wonderful warm soup for the first course of your wedding dinner? When a bride and groom of mine could not narrow down their favorite soup in their catering tasting I recommended we serve both! Above you can see they served the two soups in cute clearless mugs with a handle with a mini salad with goat cheese rolled in nuts.Some of my favorite hot soups for weddings are cream of mushroom, butternut squash, lobster bisque or tomato bisque. What about even s... |
You would think after years of writing about romantic proposals, happily-ever-afters and the joys of W-day I would become somewhat immune, complacent even. But I don’t. I still take a sharp intake of breath every time something beautiful drops into my inbox, I still get completely swept away by the fairytale of it all. And although personally I was not your classic storybook bride, all layers of tulle and delicate pearls, I really think those of you that genuinely are look breathtaking. Take JJ and her fiancé Leo from London for instance, for their engagement shoot they enjoyed the ... |
