Magical Memories

Another artistically beautiful video by Sid and Mili Ghosh of Memories in Motion . They really never do stop to amaze me and can bring out the best of emotions. Just by watching this video you can truly see just how magical this couple is. From reading the brief description on the Memories in Motion website and by watching the video you can see that every event at their wedding was inspired by a different culture or region of the world (such a great idea!!!). Also, notice the phenominal clothing choices of Jiten and Nisha- Can we say SPECTACULAR!!!! Or better yet, can I ask her to come shopping with me every year?

PS...I know this is going to be a little backwards, but after I saw this video by Memories in Motion, I just had to see if there were any weddings pictures, or save the date videos and I did find some...so look out for those. You will not be disappointed!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In Honor of St. Patrick's Day, I thought I would dedicate a post to a green theme'd wedding. Whether you really are planning a wedding on St. Patricks day next year or simply love the emerald shade- there's a little something for everybody.

Put a new spin on your wedding with beautiful greenery, subtle hints of green in your cake (look at the beautiful ombre cake!!), a touch of green in your dress, or bridesmaids desses. And ofcourse don't forget the guinness cocktails! Hope you all are having a 'lucky' day!

Cinal and Taju's Fabulous Reception Decor

WOW WOW & WOW is all I can say when I saw Cinal and Taju's reception photo's a few months ago! My sister's friend was telling me about this wedding and I was so amazed with it that I thought I would share some photo's that were captured of this reception from the amazing Andrena Photography. She really does deserve a post of her own. Every time she posts something new to her blog, I feel like a 7 year old kid on Christmas morning. I also posted the other amazing vendors who helped put this wedding together at the bottom of this post.

Everything from the flowers to the lighting, to the color palette, to the crystals, to the lounge area, down to the seating arrangements are just breathtakingly beautiful!

Hope you Enjoy!

 

Aren't these Cakes divine!! They look like candles on glass cylinders and too perfect to eat!

Cinderella's Fairytale Reception

Just had to share this girlie pink reception decor and cake! It makes me think of what Cinderella's reception would have looked like! I found the images on Details Details an event planning company who also has a fantastic blog. I love all the details of this wedding from the frilly chair coverings, the intricate design on the cake, the mini cake each individual guest received, and the rosette table cover for the cake table. Lets be honest I also just love anything PINK!

My Concept or Yours?

I remember when my sister got married 10 years ago, her wedding video's were recorded on VHS (all 10 of them)... I don't think people nowadays even know what VHS stands for let alone watch 10 videos of footage. Nowadays, you can not only get your wedding events on DVD, but there's HD, blue-ray and you can even get a video montage or flashback video which can summarize ALL of your events in about 30 minutes.  It's amazing how far we have progressed with technology. "Yipppie" , you say? Well, as I always say things always get better and better. This past year or two, on every imaginable wedding blog or website I have seen numerous "concept video's". Some of them AMAZING, some of them very unique, and some of them that are just out of this world.

You ask, "What exactly is a concept video?" Have you ever imagined making your own music video? Or imagined having your proposal on video for all to see? Well, that's exactly what a concept video is. It's an idea that you make into a short film that you can show at your reception, use as a save-the-date or even send to your guests as a thank you. It's really what you make of it. So start figuring out with your hubby- my concept or yours?

Here's a video all sports fans will love. The couple Sapna and Sanjeev used their concept video as their wedding invitation. Each of these DVD's was included with an insert of all the wedding functions. I must say pretty creative and cute!

And, I found the video below after I stalked Hakim Sons Films online (to be more precise my bff Google helped me out). No, I don't need to be arrested unless I'm arrested for being AWESOME.

Oh What a Beautiful Day, Especially with the Photographs.

I am super excited to share all the pretty images below by destination wedding photographer Laura Grier from Beautiful Day Photography. She truly captures the moment with her epic portraits and images filled with freshness and beauty! I actually came by her pictures when I found the rickshaw photobooth idea. See how one great thing leads to another!!??  Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Smile for the Rickshaw

So Photobooth's were all the rage last wedding season, so why not step it up a notch this season and get really creative. How freakin' sweet is the Rickshaw Photobooth idea! I know I know, I'm a fob.

Oh So Beautiful Paper

I just found a really great set of indian inspired paper goods (ceremony programs, table numbers, menus, place cards) on Oh So Beautiful Paper that I thought I would share.

If you like this design or would like to see more or order, you can take a look at Ellie Snow's design's on Hello Tenfold. I took a look at other design's on her website and they are just as fab!

You might not be able to get married in the Taj Mahal, but you can bring the Taj Mahal to you. How groovy is this ice sculpture?

Boutonniere's Galore

Boutonnieres, French for the "buttonhole flower" were initially worn to ward off bad luck or evil. They are now a fashion statement for men. The options for boutonniere's nowadays are wide as the options for anything else at your wedding...endless. They are no longer traditional, they are trendy and hip. They can either be made out of fresh flowers or be crafted by fabric flowers, paper, feathers, sea shells, pins and anything else you can think of. The style is expanding and evolving for the modern man- roses and baby's breath are the thing of the PAST. So, be inspired and find something creative and that suit's your wedding theme and the groom's style. This can be a great DIY project or you can give some idea's to your crafty friend or a florist to complete.

Here are some idea's for your groom and groomsmen, hope you enjoy!
