It's 2013!!

Where has the time gone?! If you've been planning a wedding that's to take place this year, you'll know what I mean about time flying by - there just never seems to be enough of it!

2012 was a fabulous year for The Bride's Butler. We executed 9 weddings, had a few mentions and articles in The Hamilton Spectator, won the Diamond Readers Choice Award for Best Wedding Planner in Hamilton and had TWO of our Day of Coordination weddings featured in the Hamilton Halton Weddings Magazine!

Each year I get to meet new vendors, as well as work with some old favourites. I'd like to thank a few of them for their continued support, assistance and wonderful service in 2012.

Morgan & Adam Part II

Time to soak in all the loveliness that was Morgan & Adam's wedding....

Beautiful, right?

Big thanks and much love to Beth from Elizabeth in Love for capturing such beauty.



Morgan & Adam Part I

In August I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth from Elizabeth in Love. I had heard about this awesome and lovely gal many times through the wedding grape wine, and then had the pleasure of meeting her at a friends wedding in June. At that wedding we were able to chat briefly about how excited we were to be working together for Morgan & Adam's big day.

Morgan & Adam got married in the beginning of August on a nice, warm (okay, kind of hot) summer day at one of my favourite venues in the Hamilton Area - the Tamahaac Club. Their theme was vintage romance, and they planned their big day with such detail. Morgan knew exactly how she wanted the venue to look, and it turned out beautifully.

Using baby's breath (the Groom's favourite), roses and hydrangeas, the tables welcomed guests for a dinner that was simply mouth watering. The bridesmaids wore white, and the groomsmen grey. The Bride & Groom had a first look photo session prior to uniting in a Jewish ceremony.

Here are some photos that display just how beautiful their wedding was.

It was so nice to have worked with Beth, and I hope that we'll be able to work together in the near future to capture and execute more weddings that are beautiful.

Next blog post will feature Part II: the details.

Imitation is the best form of flattery

Need ideas for your wedding but are sick of looking in magazines and on blogs? You can always get inspired by weddings you've attended, or from what you see on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest - but here's an idea....what about looking at the portfolios of some fabulous Wedding Photographers to see what other Brides & Groom's have done?

Taking a peek at their photos not only showcases their work and style, but can also give you ideas on things like your centrepieces, flowers, decor and even your dress, jewelry and hairstyle!

Check out some of the beautiful and inspiring photos from the following Photogs we adore, like:

What a busy season!

Diane, Owner/Lead Coordinator with Natalie & Jason - June 16/12.

Two more weddings to go and then it looks like we're done with our 2012 wedding season - unless of course we get some last minute bookings for October to December.

In 2010, we were booked solid with Fall weddings, 2011 had a mixture of both Fall & Summer and this year it seems like Spring and Summer were the hot seasons to say "I do."

This season we're honoured to have assisted with the execution of 9 weddings - that's a lot of gigs for this  part-time business. Since June, we've had a wedding almost every second or third weekend, with meetings, consultations and rehearsals slotted in between. Whew!

We can't wait to show you pictures from awesome Photographers we had the chance to work with including Ikonica (Porsha & Will), Elizabeth in Love (Morgan & Adam) and some we still have yet to look forward to working with like Unveil Photography (Brooke & Richard).

Congrats to all the newlyweds from this year, and to the remaining couples; we can't wait to be by your side on your most special day!

Congratulations Morgan & Adam!

Today, my Assistant Brittany and I are coordinating the wedding for Morgan and Adam in Ancaster.

Could these two be any more gorgeous? The lovely and talented Elizabeth Kaye from Elizabeth in Love captured their adorableness and adoration in their engagement pictures. With such a good looking couple, a beautiful venue and a sunny (fingers crossed) summer day - this wedding will be one worthy of a magazine!

When I first met with Morgan and Adam I couldn't wait to hear all about their special day and how they've chosen to celebrate with family and friends. There will be a first look, a delicious meal and lots of dancing!

We wish them much happiness today as they become Husband & Wife. Thank you for allowing us to share in your wedding day! xo

Stay tuned for pictures from their wedding in the up-coming weeks.
