Sunday Weddings

Would you get married on a Sunday?

 

It seems that Sunday weddings are becoming more popular – we’ve coordinated 4 since we started in 2008, and have 2 more booked for this year. Wondering why? Well, Sunday weddings tend to be cheaper because venues offer a slight discount to hold your wedding then instead of the ever-popular Saturday. 

Over the years Friday weddings have been more in demand as well. Originally you could book Friday for cheaper than a Saturday, but now they are basically neck in neck in price. Do you think that Saturday weddings will be a thing of the past?

I can see getting married on a Sunday if it’s a long weekend, which is what most of our clients have done. 

We think that a beautiful brunch or luncheon wedding on a Sunday would be awesome. Or an afternoon ceremony followed with a cocktail reception, or a picnic-like dinner. Keep it light, and keep it from getting late. Most people won’t stay too long at a Sunday wedding if they have to work the next day, and travel a fair distance to boot.

So, what’s your thoughts on hosting or going to a wedding on a Sunday?

Perfect Picnic

I simply adore this idea of a ‘picnic wedding’. What a perfect idea for a spring or summer wedding – or even for a Bridal Shower or Rehearsal lunch.

Pick a few of your favourite food items (that are packable, and not easily perishable) and put together a delectable ‘basket’ for each of your guests. If you’re working with a caterer, they can put all this together for you using your instructions.

It’s the little touches of this simple idea that make it so perfect – customized labels, colour coordination with ribbon & tissue paper and oh-so-pretty packaging. Adorable!

I'm Canadian, eh?

A post to my homeland, Canada.

Canadians like to party! We enjoy hosting guests for gatherings of all sorts. We're polite, we drink pop - not soda, we can legally drink at 19 - not 21, and we love Tim Hortons!

If you’re Canadian, you might be entertaining guests for a picnic or BBQ this Canada Day long weekend – so, to help you out with your entertaining, here are some "Canadian" recipes ideas from the folks at Canadian Living & Kraft Canada.

Start off your meal with a 'Toast to the PEI coast' with “Beer & Bacon Mussels”. Then cook salmon on cedar planks on the barbeque to create “Cedar Planked Salmon with Maple Mustard Glaze”. Add to this dish with the “Great Canadian Potato Salad”.  Mmm..... :)

For dessert try either “Maple Leaf Sugar Cookies”, “Beaver Cupcakes” or the classic “Canada Flag Cake”

If you're not Canadian, we know that you secretly wish you were. Check out this funny video for a good laugh.

Whatever you decide to do to enjoy with family and friends this holiday weekend, do it with pride for this beautiful country.

With glowing hearts ,We see thee rise, The true, north, strong, and free.

Happy Canada Day, eh!

*Please celebrate in style – don’t drink and drive.
