    Yippee my fabulous brides it is Friday and just in time for your weekend shopping I thought I would let you in on a wonderful little secret. A while ago a came across The Sunday Brunch dress shop and I was instantly smitten. I think any of these dresses would be perfect for a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower and even a day after brunch with the fam. Enjoy the eye candy and have an amazing weekend. I know I will!!!...

    When I spotted this Summer Fiesta feature by Emily of Once Wed on both Once Wed and Design*Sponge today, I knew it would make the perfect rehearsal dinner theme. I myself had an outdoor fiesta-ish inspired rehearsal dinner, and it is such a fun way to go. I mean, who doesn't love having fun with friends while enjoying margaritas, chips and salsa and great mexican food? This shoot was put together by Emily of Once Wed, Ashley of The Flashdance and Jesse of Our Labor of Love photography who wanted to put together a fun mostly DIY summer dinner party. Simple tissue paper cut into fringe for the i...

    The bridesmaids had just enough time to change before they were due at Torrey Pines Christian church for the rehearsal. After the rehearsal Sienna’s Grandmother Betty McLean hosted an incredible dinner in the Walnut Lounge at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. DJ Spencer Bezy of Mobil Music Plus was Master of Ceremony in charge of music and introducing all the toasts and running a surprise video montage shone on huge flat screen TV’s. The montage was created by Sienna’s sister Avalon, who is an aspiring photographer and designer! Chris of Indulge Flowers mastered a creative seascape...

    Yesterday we talked about a Rock Band Rehersal, another fun idea for your rehearsal dinner could be a bowling alley! Treat  your guests to Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Beer, Nacho's, and all of the bowling they can handle! Talk about fun times! Everyone loves to let loose and bowl, even if you stink, like me! So when you are considering what to do for your rehearsal dinner, think of fun past times - things the whole family can enjoy!...

    One more night recap from our trip to The Grand Del Mar where they showed us the possibilities and big ideas for your big day.  This one was a cowboy-inspired rehearsal dinner, complete with corn on the cob and s'mores!  What a fun, laid back, and low key way to welcome the families together the night before the big day.  No pressure, just jeans, good music (even a banjo at this fete), good friends, and good food.  Pull decor in from your home, closet, backyard, and barn if you've got one!  Then tell guests to dress the part for some fun photos by night's end.  This event loo...

    With most of our guests coming from up North (Iowa and Michigan) we wanted a very Texan rehearsal dinner, so we chose Mattitos Tex Mex! The Arboretum allows weddings on Fridays, so they prefer you to have your rehearsal on Thursday. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. It allows you an extra day with your guests and also allows you to relax the night before and just enjoy everyone’s company. We got our Rehearsal Dinner invites from Wedding Paper Divas . With my thriftiness and refusal to again spend money on things people throw away, we got some online coupons that made them...

    Gather your family and friends, bring on the food and drink, throw in some stories, cheers, and lots of laughs for what may be the last chance to relax before wedding mayhem commences — your rehearsal dinner. Usually held after a ceremony trial run, this small, intimate event allows families to mingle and bond, you to spend more time with loved ones and thank those who have helped along the way. More and more, this typically North American tradition is taking on a modern twist for couples looking to add a touch of culture that won’t overshadow the entire wedding celebration. Photo ...
