Soar to Great Heights!  Balloons at Weddings

Soar to Great Heights! Balloons at Weddings

It’s Monday and it FINALLY feels like spring here in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, so I thought I’d have a little celebration!

I’ve noticed that large balloons are popping up all over wedding photography, engagement shoots and even mainstream advertising and I thought I’d share a few images with you.  I hope you enjoy!

The bright colours, textures, tastes and sounds of Mexico are celebrated in this blog post.  Enjoy!

This cake takes it’s cue from embroidered fabric. The vases and blue screen are a perfect focal point. Add maracas for some rhythm and a graphically printed invite and you’re set!

VIP Welcome for Your Wedding Guests

Do you know that the average amount each of your guests spend on your wedding is over $525?  This does not include your wedding party who pays significantly more – it’s the average for each individual guest!

Blog Post 1 Welcome Bags

Keep that in mind and consider providing welcome bags, kits or baskets that include some simple and often inexpensive items for the handful of guests who are traveling from out of town. Most importantly, they typically contain a welcome note and a itemized itinerary of the day or weekend.

While these bags are quite elaborate, they don’t have to be.  Take some of the best ideas and incorporate them into your own welcome ‘kits’.

Blog Post 6 Welcome Kits

You can theme your welcome bags to your overall wedding making them as simple or complex as you like.

These welcomes contain homemade goodies and fruit contained in simple packaging.

The last example includes some fabulous customized door hangars and printed schedules, along with labels for goodies you might want to include.

If you are having a destination wedding, you might want to consider canvas totes that can double as beach bags.

Whatever you decide, remember it really is “The Thought That Counts”.
