Wedding Wednesday

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Like I said in my last post, I’m savoring every last bit of summer before we head into fall and winter. Since fall and winter are usually full of neutrals and a few duller colors, I was inspired to create a bright and vibrant bride that would fit right into a summer wedding! And here she is: colorful_inspiredbride (Wedding Gown, Necklace, Lipstick, Nail Polish, Bouquet, Shoes)

Wedding Wednesday – Honeymoon Spots

Are you having trouble deciding where to go for your honeymoon? To me, it seems like everywhere you look to research a honeymoon location, you’re given the same typical locations. Not that there is anything wrong with Fiji, Italy, or the Sandals Honeymoon Package. I would be more than happy to go to any of those places. t’s just that sometimes I’m curious to see not so traditional places suggested. So, I decided to come up with a few on my own.

Bali, Indonesia: The Como Shambhala Estate looks like such a wonderful place to relax in one of the most peaceful settings. If I had to sum up what I think this honeymoon vacation would be like in one word, I think it would have to be zen. And after planning a wedding, which can sometimes always be somewhat stressful, I think all brides and grooms could use a little bit of zen.

Napa Valley, California: Sometimes leaving the United States isn’t an option or maybe it’s a little intimidating for some. Hotel Yountville has a similar feel to Italy and is perfect for the couple that would love to take part in wine tastings.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: Villa Grande is the perfect place for a more adventurous couple, who also would like some time to relax and soak up the sun. On this trip couples could just relax on the beach or they could go kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, whale watching, etc.

London, England: And for those who love to be on the go, sightseeing in London would just be magical. The Corintha Hotel would be the perfect place to come home to every night after bopping around town to relax and recharge for the next day.

Where did you go on your honeymoon? Or where have you always dreamed of going on your honeymoon?

Wedding Wednesday

What do you do for a wedding cake if you don’t like cake? That could be a problem. And since I, myself, don’t really love cake and particularly hate frosting…I decided to look for alternatives. And I was surprised at how many there were. So, I decided to put together a few different cake options to choose from if you just so happen to be a non-cake lover like me.
