Wedding Advice

As always, I was searching the internet for new wedding ideas and came across some great words of wisdom for newlyweds to live by:

*Always try to outdo each other in kindess, that way you will never lose site of the positive
things in your relationship.

* Never go to bed angry, even if you are not happy with the conditions."

* It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

* Always believe in the importance of love, for it is the strength and beauty that brings music
to our souls.

Last but not least and one of my favorites because it is so very true...

* Women: Do not expect your husband to change after marriage!

* Men: Do not expect your wife to not change!

Sweet Thank You

One of our favorite July brides wrote me the most amazing thank you note I have ever read. Therefore, I just had to share it with all of you:

Jenna,

I just want to say thank you, for everything that you have done for me, my wedding, and even beyond that. You have made such an impact on our lives, especially my mom. She doesn't see you as our wedding planner, she sees you as her friend. You have no idea what a relief that is to me because she is my very best friend and I'm 3,000 miles away, so knowing that there's you if she ever needs to call means a lot. You are a very special person with a beautiful spirit and heart and you have touched each of us with that. I could never be grateful enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being more so much more than just our wedding planner!

XOXO,

Amanda

Wedding Hairstyles

For your wedding day, you want to feel as beautiful and as comfortable as possible. Figuring out how you'd like your hair to be that day is important because you want to look back at the pictures and think about how lovely you & your bridal party look. If you are weary of an up-do that consists of too much hairspray or that your hairstyle may not reflect your natural look, here are some fresh ideas that may help inspire you for your very special day.

Wedding Tunes for 2009

If you are trying to decide on some new, more up-to-date songs to play at your wedding, the list below is filled with the top 10 new wedding songs that brides are selecting for 2009. 

• "Lucky" by Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillet: Play it during the first dance.
• "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay: Play it during cocktail hour or between dinner courses.
• "Good Time" by Alan Jackson: Play this song right after dinner.
• "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson: The perfect song to play during the cake cutting.
• "Single Ladies" by Beyonce: To be played during the bouquet toss.
• "Beautiful" by Akon: A slow song for later in the evening.
• "So What" by Pink: A fun song for the single guests to dance to after a slow one.
• "Just Dance" by Lady GaGa: Ideal for when the party has picked up.
• "Green Light" by John Legend: To be played toward the end of the evening.
• "When the Night Comes" by Dan Auerbach: Play this as the last song at the end of the night.

As you can see, the "chicken dance" didn't make the cut. If you want your guests to really enjoy the dance floor, try to select songs that are more modern and fun like the ones above. 

Lyndsay & Tim's Wedding Cake!!

I recently went with my bride Lyndsay, to The Pastry Studio for her cake tasting. We had such a blast with the owner, Sherri Meyers and all of her creative ideas for this wedding cake. Lyndsay and her fiance, Tim, have decided to use Sherri and her team of wedding cake design experts. The cake is going to be absolutely amazing with a very classy yet unique spin. The cake is designed based around Lyndsay's gorgeous wedding dress. It is going to be a small replica of the unique details on her gown. The cake will be an off-white, 3 tiered cake with a bit of champagne shimmer. Extremely classic with a couture design!! Absolutely breathtaking!
