Who says your centrepieces have to be made of flowers? There are lots of fun (and budget-friendly!) alternatives that will look just as great topping your reception tables. Having a Christmas wedding? Choose glass vases filled with shiny baubles. Planning a garden theme? Shabby chic birdcages add just the right touch of whimsy. Here are 10 creative non-floral centrepiece options for you to consider.

So, it turns out the word ‘wedding’ is totally overwhelming me. I’ve decided I just have to change the word and in doing so I change the psychology. We’re having a ‘party.’ There, that’s way more manageable!
Not that I’m overwhelmed about being married, goodness, Tyler is the one thing I’m sure of and marrying him thrills me beyond belief, but it’s all the expectations that come with the word ‘wedding.’ Now, that we’re having a party, an extravaganza, if you will, I feel less burdened by what the day should be. The weddings I’m inspired by are not traditional weddings and Tyler feels strongly as well that we stick to our guns and do what we want on our day. We’re bombarded by questions like, “Who’s your M.C.?,” “You’re tossing a bouquet aren’t you?,” “What slow song did you choose for the first dance?” Stop! Hold the phone! What if we don’t want an M.C.? What if we feel strongly about hosting our own party? What if I don’t want to toss the bouquet? Read the rest of this entry »

I totally love hydrangea! I think I may have mentioned this before, but its lush, full, spectacular blooms put a huge smile on my face. I love to design with it in every aspect of a wedding, right down to the bouquets! Yes, bouquets!!! If you keep the hydrangea in water right up until you start pictures, it will live four to five hours out of water from that point—which is the perfect amount of time for a wedding ceremony and amazing photos to occur. If you want to keep it perky past that time frame just throw it in a vase of water in a focal location (ie. head table) and that will help it stay strong for the remainder of the evening.
Bridesmaids in black dresses, a black sash on a stunning white wedding gown, black vases, black napkins, and even a black calla lily bouquet—no colour just black & white—timeless, stunning, and yes… sexy.
Classic Graydon Hall was the back drop for this formal wedding. A clear fall day allowed the ceremony to take place in the back garden, with cocktails around the fountain, dinner on the picturesque veranda—tented in a ballroom setting, with evening dancing inside the manor.
