Consider Gifting Limoncello As Wedding Favors to Your Wedding Guests

While limoncello is being so popular all over Italy, much of this liqueur is produced throughout the Amalfi Coast region.

It will bring your inner dancing diva out & will give more freedom on the dance floor

Dance is the super-duper and most fascinating element when it comes to a wedding reception. It is the moment when everyone comes together to rejoice in the celebration surrounded by amazing music and immersing themselves in it! This specific moment in a wedding reception is like, dance till your drop!

Everybody at the reception enjoys this moment to the fullest, but when it comes to the bride, it gets a bit overwhelming for a bride to dance her heart out during her wedding reception. The reason is, for the wedding ceremony, a bride chooses a very elaborate wedding gown which most of the time is bulky, restrictive, and makes it a bit hard to walk and dance freely in it! And here is another reason why a bride should change for her wedding reception- enjoy every moment of her wedding reception.

Slipping into something shorter, looser, and less formal dress for your wedding reception will allow you to savor every moment of the celebration without being wary of your hem dragging on the dance floor. Or if by chance you lift your arms a little too high, your stunning sequined bodice might come undone. So, here is a tip for all the brides, you can change into something a little less precious or we can say restricting so that you are flawlessly able to rip off the dance floor with greater freedom! Because excitement with loved ones and the love of your life awaits you on the dance floor.

But in case you are stressed about blending into the gathering, you can always go for a dress that is white in color while being more fancy and informal as you like, so that you can freely flaunt your choreographed moves and spins in the best way possible!

It will allow you to flaunt your stunning wedding shoes

Of course, your wedding shoes are as expensive and as valuable as your wedding dress. Your wedding dress gets everybody’s attention but somewhere your wedding shoes stay intact from everyone’s notice. Well, that’s major because of the long hemline wedding dresses, the wedding shoes don’t get that much attention that is required to them! No worries, if your wedding shoes didn’t come to everybody’s notice during your wedding ceremony, you can flaunt them during your wedding reception without any second thought!

Want to know how you can flaunt your wedding shoes during your wedding reception? Well, all you have to do is slip into a new dress and that too a shorter one for your wedding reception! If you are going for a shorter dress for your wedding reception, your beautiful wedding shoes will be the center of attention for everybody! As an added bonus, you can always pick a whole slew of new and shining accessories to match up with your wedding reception dress!

It will give you the time to be ‘Yourself’

Being a bride is without any doubt a tough task. As a bride, your wedding day will be all about you (of course including your sweetheart, but you will always be the center of gravity for everyone). So, if you feel like that a traditional and authentic white formal wedding dress doesn’t bring out the best in you during your wedding ceremony, be assured that your reception dress will do that job and that too gracefully!

There are times when a bride feels stuck in a formal wedding dress all night and it causes a little feeling of overwhelming. Just to feel more confident and relaxed, it is advisable for the brides to have a separate reception dress. Always free to express your unique personality without limitation on the dance floor and off!

Buying the right reception dress will allow you to be more comfortable and stylish at the same time.

2021 Trend: Petite Bouquets

While we have always been transparent about how we feel about flowers(more is always better!), we are looking into our favorite topic with a renewed perspective. Flowers are a natural choice in decorations and adornments and are a go-to for weddings. A wedding without flowers sounds like a wedding we want nothing to do with! However flowers have been used historically for a long while now, and the trends have changed and evolved tremendously over the decades. While cascading flowers, wild bunches or mismatched blooms, and packed bouquets are adorned by us, among many others, petite bouquets are something that is becoming a thing, and aren’t they a cute bunch! Like most amazing things, necessity was the mother of invention for these cuties. Since 2020 saw a global pandemic, it also saw a lot of minimal home weddings, backyard weddings, minimonies, among many other versions of a wedding which entails a smaller guest list, lighter budgets and a lighter event. Dresses were simplified, makeup and hair became natural, and bouquets-smaller! Alternatives to huge cascading bouquets started pouring in, and petite or posy bouquets gained popularity fast, and we couldn’t get over how adorable and perfect they were. Flowers express our mindsets and minimal and less seems to be the catchword for this year’s wedding scene. From a single stem of the flower to flower hoops, to the most dainty collection of tiny blooms, petite bouquets seem to be able to communicate the vibe of the year quite appropriately. While the flowers are tiny and minimal in their stature, they pack quite a punch when it comes to impact. Some say it is in fact the small size that makes them so eye-catching. Let us look into this trend closely and look at some options.

Season inspired:

seasons reflect in the wedding quite naturally, be it through the colors used, the decor elements, or the flowers. Let your petite blooms reflect the season in its composition. A fall-inspired color palette in burgundy, deep purple, and blush, translates well for a fall wedding, while tangerine, palm leaves, and yellows work great for a tropical warm-weather feel. A nod to the seasons, seasonal blooms photograph well and are quite easy to pull off in a petite format.

Petite Classic:

Petite and absolutely divine, a posy of lily of the valley, might be the ideal design for the bride herself, as well as those special people like the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. The time-approved wedding flower for the classic wedding, we love how simplistic, pure yet impactful a delicate flower-like lily of the valley emits a wedding day charm.

Aye to anemones:

We love anemones for any bridal bouquet style. Unique, charming, and a little different from the rest, a petite bouquet with anemones is like a beautiful piece of poetry. For a posy, select just a handful of anemones for a bouquet all their own, or merge with dusty miller, astilbe, or eucalyptus for a delicate and enticing design.

Fern it up:

Ferns add a sweet surprise to your wedding day bouquet for sure. An unexpected addition to a design is always something we can support when it comes to wedding blooms! Adding in sprigs of bird nest ferns or plumosa will create a stunning design we can’t help but love. Ferns sure are great to lighten up a bouquet and add a tropical element to it.

Mono-florals:

Who doesn’t love the fresh-from-the-field look that a mono-floral bouquet can sometimes exude? Incredibly romantic and sweet, like a gathering of wildflowers, mono florals are a little disheveled, and not perfectly trimmed, resulting in a design that is reflective of the beautiful environment around you, while still being innocent and romantic in an old-fashioned manner.

Ribbon action:

Ribbons are perfect for tying in an accent color within the outfit, which makes the overall look sweet and romantic. Whether it is a shorter bow or a long and flowy one, a ribbon tie to a bunch of petite blooms provides the illusion of a more generous bouquet while still keeping the design within a petite. The small profile of the posy will be emphasized nicely by silk or satin ribbon, correlated with the color of the flowers, for an elegant draping effect.

Green effect:

Known for its lovely sage hue, eucalyptus is a perfect candidate for a petite bouquet, as it serves a sweet and romantic vibe, matches most wedding styles, and will last long past the celebration as an aromatic reminder of the wedding day! If eucalyptus is too single-dimensional for you, creating a design using several types of greenery creates balance and dimension, even for a petite one! Consider mixing greens from all the shades, like ferns, eucalyptus, or evergreen, for a unique combination.

Anthurium:

For a bouquet that stands out and makes a statement, our larger-than-life flowers anthurium comes in pretty handy. This heart-shaped charmer of a flower is the perfect accomplice for a tropical soiree. One can keep it minimal and simple by letting it take the stage or add minimal additional flowers, making a big impact, notwithstanding its size. We love how clean and minimal the look is, yet how theatrical is its presence.

Roses posies:

If you are like to save the adventures for another day and rather go for an option that is well-received and remains a classic through all the years, roses are the way you should head. It is guaranteed you can never go wrong with a bouquet of roses, as often reminded by the infamous florist Griffith-VanderYacht. Short and stubby rose petite bouquets can be highly impactful, while still staying classic and evergreen.

An unexpected stroke of color:

Bring the petite bridal bouquet to the foreground and showcase its size by carrying a bouquet that is bright and vibrant and full of life. A vibrant bouquet can take things to the next level and go for colorful blooms which best expresses your vibe. you can go for spray-painted baby’s breath for a soft and airy look, triking orange celosia for a colorful fall wedding.

Blushing hues:

Blush instantly adds a soft and romantic tone to the vibe. If you are thinking of carrying a bouquet of a darker, yet complementary color palette, adding hints of pink might just be the facelift it needs. Taking the time to find the right style and color story is an essential step in building an unforgettable day. Bring in blush throughout your wedding design and the color will unquestionably cast a sweet, romantic glow throughout the day.

Proteas Alert!

While a traditional bouquet can restrict one from experimenting a lot, and go for more traditionally used colors. Petite bouquets are hence the perfect window of opportunities for making a huge impact as it enables you to use flowers which you wouldn’t normally use, like king proteas. Proteas provide a sweet juxtaposition as it is quite a large flower however when paired with just one or two of those, they fit the bill for a petite bouquet.

The lone stem:

Posies doesn’t have to be short and clustered into a bouquet and can also be a stem of a breathtaking flower. Minimal and memorable, a single-stemmed bouquet takes the road less traveled when it comes to design and delivers an enormous impact. More and more brides and bridesmaids are opting to sport long-stemmed flowers than a whole bouquet, and the impact is modern yet romantic.

All-white:

All-white wedding bouquet is not new, and is something classic and ageless. For a petite bouquet so for tulips to hydrangea, or even a cluster of white orchids, and let that monochromatic design work its magic. The impact is huge with this one and brings together a bridal look together quite seamlessly.

Orchid Affair:

Fresh, modern, and inventive, orchids always have a way of attaching a layer of mystery without actually having to do that much. Perfect for your bridesmaids to carry, whether you opt for traditional white orchids or something more out of the box, like purple, use just a few sparse stems and you will clear a lasting image in your guest’s minds.

Fluffy astilbe:

Texture is something you can consider while choosing a petite bouquet. Fluffy and naturally eye-catching, astilbe is certainly a flower to consider when it comes to the principle of less is more. Select a few handfuls of stems and you can go with or without leaves for a brand-new take on age-old bouquets.

Floral hoop:

A new kid in the block, a floral hoop adds whimsy and allure to the wedding day and allows the bride to step away from tradition. Floral hoop is minimal, out-of-the-norm, and highly palatable for every bridal style. Highly customizable, a floral hoop is perfect for a boho wedding as well as a rustic one, and everything in between.

Simple and minimal:

Most often than not, we go for petite bouquets so that we can keep our wedding look simple and minimal, and simple and clean small arrangements like white peonies or ranunculus look stunning without taking away from the look, and adding a whole lot more. While whispy flowers like baby’s breathe add subtle whimsy to the look, full-faced blooms like ranunculus look sweet and romantic, and can wow even in more modest numbers.

Succulent bouquet:

For a nature-inspired wedding, or a minimal one, a succulent bouquet might be the answer. Whether you want to go for a bunch of beautiful stubby succulents as your choice of arrangement, or you want something simple and minimal like a single green succulent, two thistles, and strands of wheat to create a textured bunch.

Dried and pretty:

It is amazing how a bunch of flowers look just as pretty dry as they do while in full bloom. A mixed assortment of dried flowers, wheat, pampas, and such creates a beautiful petite bouquet. Neutral, minimal, sustainable, and perfect for a boho wedding, a sweet and simple spray of dried flowers is sometimes all that is needed.

Small and sweet:

A bunch of small flowers like daisies, yellow wildflowers, or baby’s breath looks abundant in a bunch while still looking beautiful in a petite bouquet. The bunches look romantic in a true wildflower fashion while delivering the perfect summer wedding feels. If you have a wedding coming up this summer, wildflowers tied in a tiny bunch and wrapped in a sweet lace or burlap ribbon will hit the spot just right.

Beachside bouquet:

For a wedding by the beach, a bouquet inspired by the tropical vibe is perfect. Reflect the fun beachy vibe with vibrant tropical hues in flowers and different types of palm leaves for a beachside casual “I do”.

Flowers are nature’s ornament and add romance and poetry to everything. It adds color, dimension, and feel-good vibe to the overall look, making one happier instantly. There is so much that instantly changes with just adding a bunch of flowers here and there, be it in our homes, our gardens, our hair, or most importantly, our wedding day. Flowers play a huge role in the overall wedding look and can make or break an event. It is of supreme importance in a wedding, as most of the bridal accessories, along with decor elements lean in the favor of flowers. Petite bunches are such a tiny addition to the bridal attire but make a whole lot of difference overall. So why does a petite bouquet work so well? Well, apparently there is a lot of it. Aesthetically, a posy bouquet is an excellent idea if one is looking for flowers that don’t distract the overall look, and rather adds to it in a subtle way.

5 Tips to Ensure Your Wedding Vendors Work Together Fabulously

Weddings are elaborate affairs. They require a lot of planning and preparation. And mostly witness the involvement of third-parties and vendors. Hiring vendors for your wedding preparations is not an easy task. From florists, cinematographers, and decorators to caterers and DJ, the list of vendors is highly important. They are your support system throughout the wedding.

Starting with the research, you have to thoroughly familiarize yourself with their previous works so that you can pick the right one. Once you make your decision for one vendor, it feels like a battle waiting to be won. It becomes relatively easier to decide about the others.

When you finally sign up with all your vendors, things become relatively easier for you. As you share your wedding dreams and delegate, you are tempted to sit back and relax. However, to be sure of all the work completed as per your requirement, you have to keep a watch on the vendors.

To get your vendors to do their work properly and as per your requirements, you have to have a healthy relationship with them as well. It’s all about positivity. There are various ways in which you can have a successful relationship with your vendors. We have compiled a list of some of the most effective ways to ensure you and all your vendors can work in good harmony. Read on to know more.

Be prepared and prepare them, too

Do all your research diligently before you meet up with your vendors. It is always good to be prepared as it implies that you are all into it and are well-informed. Have pictures, links, and other such things ready so that they know what you have in your mind. Also, if their work needs to be coordinated, be prepared, and informed beforehand so that they know what you are expecting from their collaboration.

Communication is the key

One of the most important requirements to have a dream wedding is communicating what you want to the people that are involved in making it come true. Begin with sharing all your wedding details with the vendors. Then move on to ensuring that they communicate well with you too. Be accessible and a good listener so that they are confident about telling you stuff that you should know, especially if vendors have a misunderstanding among each other. Healthy communication between you and the vendors goes a long way to create a friendly professional relationship aimed at the reality of your dreams.

Be honest and encourage honesty

Honesty, if kept everywhere, does wonder. And why should any wedding be a stranger to this fact? After all, the foundation of your marriage is also honesty. Be as honest with your vendors as you can. If you do not like something, tell them. It’s your wedding and you are paying them for their services. They are obligated to provide you with exceptional services. So, if you do not like something, be honest and tell them about what you have in mind. At the same time, encourage them to be honest with you, more so when it’s about other vendors that they need to coordinate with.

Be a gracious bride

As stressful as it might get, remain calm and happy as it’s your wedding! On a big occasion like a wedding, misunderstandings, miscommunications, and other misses are bound to happen. Do not be a bridezilla and let it go, shining through it all. Since there is more than one vendor involved in your wedding, chances are you might take out your frustration regarding one vendor on the other one. And well, you might just scare them away or make things worse for your wedding. It’s crucial to be welcoming, positive, and cordial with all the vendors so that they work in camaraderie.

Put your trust in their work

Trust is the essence of any relationship, professional or personal. Your bond of trust with your vendors goes a long way in making your big day a big hit. Trust them to give their best and work with them as much as you can. If you have selected great professionals after scrutinizing their past projects, trust their capabilities. If you do it with one vendor, chances are the word will spread across others as well. Trusting and letting it go also creates a healthy work relationship which will be evident in your wedding preparations.

It’s highly important to have a great cordial relationship with your vendors for them to give their best. And the more positivity you give, the more it is likely to reflect in their relationships and further interactions with the other vendors. Their camaraderie is the need of the hour. After all, your vendors play a vital role in bringing your wedding dreams to life.

5 Fabulous Reasons to Have a First Look at your Wedding

In years past people have been believing that seeing your wife before the wedding ceremony brings bad luck for the groom. However, the progressive world has evolved since then and most couples have stopped being superstitious about these things. More and more couples are opting to have a first look at their weddings.

A first look is relatively a modern custom where the bride and groom see each other for the first time in the wedding attire, earlier than at the aisle. It’s the moment of revealing the couples’ wedding look to each other before the wedding ceremony. It is a great concept and is becoming popular by the day. If you are planning to tie the knot, it’s worth a consideration. Let us take you through some of the reasons why you should consider having the first look at your wedding.

First look brings the best look

Since it’s done at the beginning of the day, you are your freshest best! Your look and attire are flawless at that time, hence, it’s the perfect moment to capture your perfect looks. As the day progresses, which will be real quick we might add, your look is not going to stay as immaculate as it did early in the day. Therefore, this time is best to have some great wedding photography.

Great to calm the wedding jitters

Pre-wedding jitters are understood and no one has escaped from them. However, the first look can help ease those butterflies. During the first look, you and your partner get some quality time to be alone and calm each other’s anxiety down. Plus, you get out of that ‘will he like my look?’ or the ‘how do I look?’ thoughts as you walk the aisle! The first look gives you ample time to discuss how great you both look and we all would agree to that – once your partner compliments you, the world becomes a better place already.

For that precious alone time before the big exchange

Your first look is ironically the first time being single and alone with your partner and also your last, and by that we mean, you won’t be single anymore when you walk down that aisle. So if you decide to go for your first look, you would be spending some quality time with your partner before you both get sucked into the celebrations. Then it’s all about being surrounded by friends and relatives.

Gorgeous photo ops

With first look come fresh appearances and solitude of you both. This means – great opportunities for clicking your wedding portraits. In fact, if you have decided to hire a wedding videographer, even photos won’t be able to do justice to your first look. That first expression of your partner when he sees you all dolled up for your big day is too precious to be captured only in photos. And such wedding photo ops are more vital during the winters when you have a lesser number of hours of natural light needed for a perfect wedding photoshoot.

Save time for your guests

Getting your first look means you can have your wedding photoshoot before the ceremony begins. Which in turn saves a lot of time which is usually taken up by wedding portraits. That, in turn, gives you ample time to spend with your guests and enjoy your happiest day with them. Since you are done with most of the photoshoot for the both of you during your first look, you can utilize and devote time after the ceremony to your family and friends. Well, after all, their purpose is the same as yours – to celebrate your love!

Times have changed and superstitious beliefs have given way to progressiveness. That being said, it is still a personal choice as a couple has other reservations when it comes to having the first look at their wedding. This happens due to various reasons like a couple might not be comfortable displaying their emotions or might want to save time for the wedding celebrations only. However, most of the time, the pros outweigh the cons.
