Candles are a great way to create ambiance at any shower or reception. My mother-in-law threw me an evening shower in her backyard this past summer, and these candles may have been the perfect addition. By thinking outside the box you can turn just about anything into a fiery glow of ambience. If you can pour wax into it, you can make a candle out of it. These can enhance a centerpiece or make a nice gift with the addition of a tag.

Personalization is key in making any event stand out. Tags are a fun way to embody your own style, and add a little something different to your big day. Plus they cost very little to make, allowing you to add some of your own style to a simple favor.

Wonderful! I’m delighted at this elegant style etiquette.
But. The location will not serve a sit down dinner for more than 250 people (we are expecting around 340) and I commend them for not compromising their service to accommodate numbers, because it is stellar.

Trends and dating the look.
Every bride wants to look classic and timeless on her day—ok, most brides do!—and I fall into that “most” category. In my every day life I’m very trendy and I enjoy playing with the latest looks—much to the chagrin of my future husband. But the wedding day is something you’ll hold forever in your heart—and in a very expensive photo album—so I want to look effortlessly beautiful and timeless.
