Friday, August 20, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized, style

Oh, how some of wish we could get married again! No, not because we don’t love our husbands, but because of new style launches such as that of White House Black Market’s Wedding Boutique. Oh my. Sigh. These sophisticated, classic yet unique, gowns are hitting high notes in the fashion world. And surprise, surprise… these gowns are affordable! Our fave, featured in this September’s InStyle mag, is “The Victoria” tulle gown ($598, pictured). Is that too much for renewing our vows, honey? For bridesmaids, it’s all about bringing the sexy back–who’s gonna wear that lemon colored dress ever again?– with gowns in black and spicy red. Don’t forget to check out the accessories!

Weddingpaperdivas.com announces 2010 wedding trends!

Wedding Paper Divas (www.weddingpaperdivas.com), a leading online retailer of premium, personalized wedding stationery, this month announced the latest wedding trends for 2010. A top online source for wedding stationery, etiquette and design, Wedding Paper Divas surveyed its top-selling wedding invitations and scoured sources for fresh new ideas and hot trends for the upcoming wedding season. Here’s the scoop, according to Weddingpaperdivas.com:

Local Weddings with Honeymoon Flair:

  • Couples might be forgoing pricey destination weddings due to the less-than-stellar economy, but they are still indulging in a love of exotic locations by jetting off to tropical locales for their honeymoons. This summer we’ll see more and more couples infusing their local weddings with honeymoon destination themes so they do not have to sacrifice style for the sake of their wallets. From blissful beach themes to wine country getaways and more, Wedding Paper Divas offers a variety of destination themed invitations to set the stage of this type of recessionista celebration.

Fruit and Paper DIY Decor

Wedding decor can make up a majority of the wedding budget, especially when it comes to flowers. With more and more brides turning to DIY solutions, we are thrilled to offer our customers some popular DIY decor ideas for their summer weddings:

  • Use paper as a stylish money saver. With Wedding Paper Divas personalization tools and customer service, it is easy for couples to transform their invitation design into more than just stationery. A blank set of invitations handed over to the calligrapher can become perfectly matching table number cards, or a personalized set of invitations can be placed on the tables with fun facts about the bride and groom. We have even seen brides glue or stitch together the edges of three cards to create unique centerpieces with multiple functions as menus, programs and more.
  • Another low cost way to add color and a touch of tropical style to a summer wedding is to incorporate fruit into centerpieces and decor. Oranges, lemons and limes provide perfect dash of color for flower arrangements and table decor.

Haute Color Trends

  • Speaking of citrus, hot colors like mandarin orange and lemon yellows are bold ways to brighten up your invitations. In addition, luxe turquoise paired with sand or marigold accents also remains popular this season. And for brides who want to be pretty in pink, summer is the perfect season to opt for fuchsia and magenta hues over pale pastels!

Bold Typography

  • We will also see the rise of bold typography along with vibrant colors. Using the art of arranging text as a design element adds a new twist to traditional monograms, whether they include the couple’s names or initials. Either way, this timeless tradition will get a fresh new look this summer!

The safe, designated party bus: don’t serve booze without one

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized


Because this is often last on the to-do list for brides and grooms planning their wedding, we thought we’d touch on the topic here: what do you do with your wedding guests who may have spent a little too much time at the bar? Weddings and drinking go together like veils and brides, so it’s something you’ll need to address at some point. We urge you NOT to wait until about 10 p.m. at your reception to find that Uncle Ennis can’t drive to his hotel and can somebody, anybody, please drive him? Relying solely on taxis is another no-no, since you may not be able to get one in time, depending on where in San Diego you decide to get married and when your reception is over. Oh no, did we just give you another thing to worry about? Shucks! Well, that’s why most destination wedding planners prefer holding receptions in hotels where people will be staying. But if you choose another venue, you do have some options for getting everyone back safely. We like the idea of shuttles: buses or trolleys that can transport your wedding guests to and from the venue. They call it a “party bus.” Not as expensive as one might think, some of these services start at $200 an hour plus gas and tip. That’s a small price to pay to avoid tragedy. Who wants their wedding day marked by a death in the family? Start planning! Here are some places to start:
