Cake, Cupcakes & Invitations!

WBFeb10_cupcakesI love to bake.  I love cupcakes, cakes, cookies and anything else with lots of sugar!  This year, I’ve really gotten into making cupcakes and I was certain that I wanted cupcakes instead of a wedding cake. Then, to complicate things, I also tried making my first tiered fondant cake.

Now, I can’t decide which I like better! Read the rest of this entry »

Making an Alternative Venue Work & Creating a Vegan Menu

WBJan10_Heather-MalekePerhaps you want to know why we’re having our wedding at a training facility.

A few years ago, I started to train at the Centre of Gravity.  Maleke was working on hand balancing at the time and he definitely caught my attention.  We had so much fun together right off that bat. I would make up silly handstand contests or challenge him to wrestling matches.  After a few months, he finally asked me out.  One thing led to another and we began to work on double trapeze together, opened up Cirque-ability and got engaged!  Read the rest of this entry »

Blogging, Save the Date Magnets and DJs

WBJan10_savethedateI’m so excited to be sharing this blog with you. Thanks for all your votes! It will be great not only to share this planning process with all of you, but also to have the chance to hear your advice! I hope to inspire your planning, spark some creativity and show that even those of you planning traditional weddings can have some “alternative” details.  An alternative wedding is not about throwing all tradition out the window, but feeling free to change the traditions to represent you better.

She’s Crafty

LisaI’m not the kind of girl who has been planning her wedding since she was a little girl. It’s not that I’m anti-marriage (all you need is love!) but the idea of pink roses, shiny diamonds and the Macarena, make we want to throw up all over the bonbonnières. On the other hand, I’m obsessed with organizing and planning. I’ve chosen a career as a production coordinator for film and TV—currently working on the TV series, The Tudors, so it’s really is in my nature to plan and craft one hell of an original event. I’d like to call it our marriage party. Read the rest of this entry »

Circus Celebration

HeatherMy life is filled with circus, vegan cupcakes and love. It is far from ordinary and I want my wedding day to be the same. I’m entering the Alternative category because I’m pretty sure our wedding will be far from usual.

My fiancé and I met at the circus training space. Since then, we’ve fallen in love, created circus acts together and opened up an aerial, acrobatic and fitness studio by the name of Cirque-ability.  Read the rest of this entry »

Q: We are having a punk rock themed wedding, and I am looking for a dress that would fit the criteria. When I search the Internet all I ever get is goth dresses. Is there anywhere that I can find a good dress? Read the rest of this entry »
