PHOTO BOOTHS and VIDEO BOOTHS!
The latest thing in weddings
So my husband and I have launched our own wedding business because we had such a hard time finding something like this for ourselves. Being designers, it was fun.
Finally - the old style "photobooth" had been redesigned with a modern and sleek look! You can now rent either a PhotoBot, or a VideoBot. PhotoBots provide unlimited photos for a specified time, so your guests can pose for pictures as often as they want! The picture prints instantly with four copies, so your guests have photo souvenirs to take home with them right away. VideoBots take short videos of each guest dancing, singing and telling stories about how they know you and love you! Your wedding night goes by so fast that you never get a chance to talk to everyone, but this way, your guests get the attention they deserve. Please visit us at www.eventbots.ca for samples, videos and pricing. Let me know what you think! We've already had some great feedback from you brides! Thanks! Cheers - Amy |

My Burberry Flower Girl
So beautiful!
In an earlier post, I showed you the dress that I bought for Sophie, our flower girl, and here she is with her dad, the best man, watching me walk down the aisle!

Wedding Cake
A Unique Confection
Here's a shot of our actual cake taken by the same friends who recommended the baker. In an earlier post, I mentioned that we were having a custom cake made and our baker/artist absolutely lived up to expectations! It was delightful.
Those little oranges you see are entirely made of marzipan! Apparently, there is one person out in Wisconsin (or somewhere like that) who makes life-size marzipan fruit!!! The kids had lots of fun with these afterwards. In case I didn't mention it, our theme was oranges - because my grandmother swears that when I was a little girl, I would do anything for an orange. Needless to say, Denis keeps a secret stash of these. |

Married!
So Happy.
Well, we did it! It's been 90 days since the wedding. We had an amazing honeymoon in Hong Kong, where the priorities were: Us. Eating. Shopping. Definitely hit all of those. Still can't believe everything that's happened over the past year! (but if I forget, I am reminded when I check the bank accounts..)
I do miss being a bride sometimes, but can live vicariously through my friends who have yet to get married. I hope to post a few more tips now that I've actually been through it in case there's anything I can help with. Will post a few more photos from the "day-of" as well. Thanks to everyone for all their comments and advice leading up to the wedding! Happy New Year! (the new Mrs.) |

A Sparkly Touch
Non-white bridal shoes
Can't believe how close we are to the BIG DAY!
Sometimes, there's nothing like a pair of really special shoes to add something different to the wedding. All the maids and I will be wearing our own styles of gold shoes.. Mine have a bit of a "Dorothy" flavour, which works because one of Denis' all time favourite movies is The Wizard of Oz. Found these on shoes.com. |

Wedding Rings And Jewelry
Her (Mine!) Wedding Band
My wedding band, from the Experimetal line from Anne Sportun, will be similar to this one, but thinner, in white gold. Can't wait to see it!
Anne Sportun has a beautiful line of very combinable, wearable, yet unique jewellery. Highly recommended. |

His Wedding band
Denis has selected a very cool band by Jennifer Shigetomi of Matsu Jewellery. He describes it as "slightly irregular", just like he is. He's getting the white gold version. The shape sits very comfortably on the finger.

Our Hong Kong Themed Shower
A Jack and Jill Wedding Event
A huge thank you to everyone who made our wedding shower a big success!
We wanted to have a Jack and Jill (ladies and gentlemen present) to be more inclusive and to make it more like an engagement party as well, since we didn't have one. The theme was based on our honeymoon destination: Hong Kong, and the idea for a travel inspired shower from Martha Stewart Weddings. Wonderful decorations, food, special balloons and even Croatian wedding cookies were provided and planned by my matron of honour. There was a "How well do you know Amy and Denis?" game, that featured trivia questions on our lives both pre and post our relationship, for instance how many bfs did I have before meeting the right one? and how many roses in the proposal? (answer is at the beginning of this blog!) A second game was a "Battle of the Sexes" where each team of all males or all females was pitted against each other in a game of questions about knowledge the opposite sex would typically know. The boys won this one, but only because they had easier questions. :) Thanks to my girls for planning this and running the show on Saturday, what a great opportunity to get some of our closest friends from different times in our lives together before the wedding. |

Tip: Wedding Mapper
For Your Wedding Guests
If you have more than one location, have a wedding in a remote area, or just want to provide a fun way for guests to find your venue, I suggest visiting www.weddingmapper.com.
It's a great site that lets you create interactive maps that cater to wedding events! Not only is it super helpful for out of town guests, it's an easy-to-use tool for your service providers, and a nice thing to have. It lets you upload photos and web links as well. One of the best things about it is that it makes it easy for you to post it on your own wedding website, or email it. By the way, it's free! |
