Brigitte & Matt: Lessthansignthree


Every couple that I work with is special to me; however, because I work so closely with my Full & Basic Coordination clients I am given the opportunity to get to know these couples more intimately than I do my Month-of couples.

This, of course, is a tad bitter-sweet because I get to meet such incredible people every year and I get to spend time helping them bring the biggest day of their lives to fruition; it's always an emotional experience filled with fun and laughs and (more often than not) a few tears along the way. But each of these planning journeys must come to an end; and what an end! My journey with them ends with a wedding, their REAL journey is just beginning.

I can't say enough about this fab couple. They are tons of fun and always good for a laugh. They've promised to get divorced and get married again just so that we can do it all over. Woohoo!!

I'll keep you all posted on the next wedding, but for now, let's talk about this one for a bit.

Brigitte and Matt decided on a fall wedding and we designed everything around a fall harvest theme. Everything from the dresses to the food, from the decor to the favours, had a bit of a harvest feel to it. The flowers were all kinds of fall tones like oranges, reds, yellows, and greens AND great splashes of purple (it's amazing how many purple blooms you actually see popping up all over the place in the fall).



Brigitte made soap favours in every colour and scent (I know, she's one talented lady!!) and the two also made bottles of red and white wine for their guests to take home.


The wedding reception was all about the party. From start to finish there were games and competitions to keep the guests both entertained and on their toes.
It was a total blast, you guys... can't wait for the next one!

Something Blue: Free Wedding Workbook

Some of you may have noticed that I've been a little absent lately (I'm afraid to look at my last post date). I've been busy working on my newest venture and I'm VERY excited to announce that, at last, it's ready for it's big reveal!

Something Blue is a free printable wedding workbook and it's been customized by city and state/province to make your planning experience even better. The workbook guides you through a ten-step planning process to help you prioritize and stay on track. This planner is designed for couples who want to plan their own wedding - but I still recommend hiring a planner to take care of your day-of coordination needs (the book can only do so much, after all).

You can download your free planner here: www.somethingblueworkbook.com. I'd love to get your thoughts and feedback. You can send them to me at feedback@somethingblueworkbook.com. Enjoy!

Now that that's launched I'll be back to posting on a more regular basis. Whew!

Happy Planning!
