Apple wedding : use fruits for your decoration

Posted on septembre 23, 2010 by Claire

I am currently working on a wedding which is going to take place in the north west of France. The groom came from a area called « Calvados » in France and this place is well known for apples. So we decide with the bride to create an apple wedding decoration. As a matter of fact, we are going to use apples for the ceremony only. We’ll play on the bright green of the apples and the immaculate white color of the chairs. Given the fact that the wedding ceremony will take place in gardens, the decoration will be perfect !   

With an apple wedding decoration there are two main advantages. The first one is that this kind of decoration will surprise your guests especially if there is a link between the bridal couple and the fruits or between the venue and the wedding.

Prepare to Look Beautiful in your Wedding Photographs!

Posted on septembre 21, 2010 by MELANIE

Wedding pictures hold some of the happiest memories of a lifetime, so be sure you consider all the angles when preparing to be photographed on the big day.

Don’t go changing- Brides shouldn’t try new skincare products, or anything that may irritate skin during the wedding countdown. Don’t be tempted to get cosmetic treatments like a chemical peel too close to the date, especially if you haven’t experienced the procedure before. Laser resurfacing « heals within days and normal color returns within a few weeks- if that long » according to Dr. Edward Lack (Chicago dermatology). Continue reading →
