2008 Favorite Wedding Ideas and Vendors from A to Z, G is for Getting Away for Your Wedding

G is for Getting Away For Your Wedding.  Destination weddings continue to be the craze.  They allow you one on one time with those closest to you.  And you can even do some fun activities as a group at your chosen location.  How about sailing in Santorini, Greece or climbing Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica?

Here’s some pictures of one of our couples who were married in Italy.  The photos are courtesy of our good friends at nu visions in photography.  Curt & Stephanie.

Top Five Fab Finds for August 2008

Well, here they are.  My Five Fab Finds for August.  I know, there were ten the first time.  Jeff said that I was putting too much pressure on myself with ten, so I shortened it to five.  They are still fab!

1.  Going all out with the same color.  For example, bright purple, pale purple and dark purple.  Purple is a hot color right now as well.  You know you have a favorite color, so go with it and share your love of your color!  Picture below courtesy of Jay from Flowers of Winter Park.

2.  Make your dance floor different!  One of my favorite ideas for a dance floor is to surround it with garden boxes full of flowers or greenery.  It gives it a magical feeling.  You can also pinspot your dance floor with a gobo of your wedding logo or your initials.  Take it one step further and have your dance floor covered with a pattern or keep it simple with one color.

3.  A honeymoon or destination wedding to Santorini, Greece.  Yes, I want to go there so badly.  It’s at the top of my list.  When you think of Greece, this is typically what you think of.  The views are amazing and they have some of the top rated hotels in the world.

4.  I’m loving cool styles of chairs with chair covers.  How about personalizing them even more with a personalized monogram cover?

5.  A new trend in centerpieces that has really begun to light up tables is to use lamp shades in your decor.  I think it really helps to give a comfortable, homey, yet elegant spin on your table decor.
