Seaside theme wedding decor

2012-01-26T16:19:00.000+02:00

A seaside wedding, is such a pretty affair in itself, twinkling lights, candles, petals and pretty flowers just set the tone perfectly and of course depict the formality of the event! When keeping the evening quite low key with a BBQ, dancing and cocktails, a simple seaside inspired decor may be the ideal to compliment this type of wedding!

Destination Wedding Decor Idea # 3

2012-01-13T14:29:00.000+02:00

Hi All, Today we are looking at a decor idea for the bride and groom that want to keep things cute and simple with a rustic or countryside vibe!

Destination wedding decor idea #1

2012-01-11T15:29:00.000+02:00

I am starting a short series of ideas of how to decorate a destination wedding with an economical flower!

Maybe it's time to reconsider the power of a balloon!!!! &lt;img src='http://www.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/gallery/ibb/konstantina/ibb-

Diamonds are a girls best friend....

2011-12-12T15:08:00.000+02:00

For the love of shoes....

2011-12-06T11:00:00.000+02:00

I am a firm believer that shoes can make or break an outfit! Of course this means that when dressing, I begin with thinking about the shoes and make my way up! I am definitely a LBD or little white dress in this case!! Enjoy a board with some of my favourite shoes at the moment:

September Wedding in Rhodes

2011-12-05T15:14:00.001+02:00

Wedding industry statistics....

2011-11-29T11:20:00.001+02:00

This chart completely fascinates me, it opens up so many topics of conversation on wedding budgets!!! American weddings are beautiful, I mean really beautiful, the attention to detail is staggering, the size of the wedding parties, the clothes, the venues, the flowers, the photography..... And then looking at diverse cultures, Canadian's so close to the US, yet so different, so low key in

Wedding in Pilio

2011-04-01T16:27:00.002+03:00

Hi all, I know I am ridiculously late in posting, I have been swamped over the past week and feeling uninspired at the moment, it seems the economic crisis is affecting my mood a little and I am finding it diffiicult to concentrate on details rather than this bigger picture that is, where will we be at this time next year, will we have a job, be able to eat, have a home? Unfortunately it

Flowers Girl Fashion

2011-03-16T15:20:00.000+02:00

For the little girls being a flower girl can be like a dream, dressing up like a princess, taking centre stage (almost) and being adored by all! So make sure their attire is worthy of all the attention, but keep it appropriate for children and not a copy of your own wedding gown!

Beach Chic ( Sweetest Occasion)

2011-03-08T22:41:00.000+02:00

Λίγες φορές βλέπω μια κολεξιόν από νυφικά και σκέφτομαι ότι θα ήθελα να τα φορέσω όλα στον γάμο μου (αν και είμαι ήδη παντρεμένη), αλλά η Cortana

Real Wedding in Mykonos

Candles Galore

Good afternoon all, A little food for thought regarding your decor choices for your reception venue today, in all probability most of your reception will be held in the evening, when the light is much lower, probably even when it's completely dark! Don't forget that the vibrant colors and flowers tend to fade away, however a good quality candle will keep burning all night and transform the

Sweet & Saucy Cakes colorful cakes!

2010-10-15T12:29:00.000+03:00

I do love cake and of course wedding cake, I think that if you choose it carefully, it can be a fabulous addition to your wedding reception. Although I am all for doing away with traditional weddings and ridiculous superstitions, I do believe that couples should consider retaining some of the classic wedding format during their reception, as guests respond well and like to know what to expect.

The importance of Chairs

2010-10-06T14:35:00.000+03:00

I do feel that the chairs do set the tone as well, making it formal, rustic or laid back, I put together a board illustrating the

The recipe for a successful wedding

2010-09-21T13:14:00.000+03:00

Speaking from the other side of many successful weddings, including my own now, has made me think of what really is essential to make a wedding a success, which in my case means getting them giddy and on the dance floor for many hours, for others however it is measured differently.

Lindos weddings, and especially civil weddings at St. Paul's have become quite popular in the last few years! During high summer you would expect to see three to fours civil weddings taking place each afternoon with a maximum of seven if it's a particularly popular date.
