Wedding Website

A great way to keep your wedding guests involved and excited about your BIG DAY, is to create a wedding website for them to visit. You can include information about your wedding day (time, date, location), lodging accommodations for your guest, engagement photos, and up to the date information that you think your readers might just love to hear about. These days there are so many amazing websites to help you create a spectacular website just for you.

Here is a great site for you to start crafting your beautiful and informative wedding website, Momentville.com. I just love this site because they have great backgrounds to match your wedding colors, you can upload photos, your website can have a playlist of your favorite songs, and it is so easy to use.

Fun Event Foods

I feel like a lot of people forget that the look of your event food is extremely important. Presentation of everything from the appetizers to the salad to the main course must be fabulous and appealing to your guests. Afterall, the food is one of the main ways you are saying "thank you" that your guests attended your function.

You should always ask the chef at your facility or catering company if they can jazz up the look of the food. Most culinary experts would love to bring your food to the next level by adding some creative flair. Creative flair can be added by making a simple meal miniature size or adding a unique topping to jazz up ordinary food or piling the food in a unusual way, etc.

Here are some great ways various foods can be presented:

Twitter!

We have so much fun following other "tweeters" on twitter. It's a great place to get daily updates on what is going on with all of the other wedding vendors. Don't forget to follow us to keep up with all of celebrate!'s new adventures!!

Wedding Dress Shopping

Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most important aspects of your wedding day. Every bride wants to feel like a beautiful princess while she walks down the aisle.

This big decision can be not only fun but stressful if you are not prepared. Here is a helpful list of things you need to bring dress shopping with you:

• Strapless Bra
• Spanx or any other under garment you may use
• Pictures of some dresses you loved while looking in magazines and online
• A camera (call the bridal salon ahead of time to make sure you can bring this) to take pictures of your different options
• Hair Ties, Clips, Booby Pins, etc. to throw your hair into a quick up-do
• Heels that have the amount of height you would like for your wedding shoes
• Pen and paper to write down the style of gowns you like and the size needed
• A group of small honest people who will tell you what you look stunning in
