So we heard about swords, puffy sleeves from our very own DIY bride Mel last week - yes a whole 7 days ago! It's crazy how fast the trends, styles, and fashions can change in such little time. Although Mel may disagree that 16 years is 'short'!
My husband and I have been together for 11 years this year and married for the past three of those... FLIES... SIMPLY FLIES! Three years isn't that long ago, but gosh I wish I knew more about the true value of a great photographer, or those special times of asking your bridal party to be a part of your big day.
My question is, has the order of your wedding day changed along with the changes of decades?
We probably weren't the smartest in regards to holiday/honeymoon time after the wedding. Being the work-a-holic couple that we are, we thought a quick little three day escape to the Sunshine Coast would be great! But how do you squeeze in a wedding on the Saturday and still be able to slip away for a sneaky long weekend? We could only think of one answer... a breakfast wedding!
With a 9am ceremony and the reception venue within walking distance, our guests were able to head straight there and enjoy a beautiful array of breakfast canapés. Bloody Mary oyster shots were the pick of the day. Gourmet omelettes, a choice of salmon dishes, fruits, mini bacon and egg rolls for the children... My mind has gone blank after that! Divine! Our guests raved and left being able to fill the rest of their weekend with their own plans!
We had our immediate family meet us at a local Italian pizzeria for a light lunch, gelato and opening of presents. It made the day so special to us having a little extra 'one on one time' with the people who helped us the most.
Food for thought huh? Don't be afraid to step out side of the box... Your venue may love you for it and your guests will enjoy a wedding with a difference.
Until next week,
Ciao!
Kassi :)
