So many exquisite Bermuda traditions: a gold cake

So many exquisite Bermuda traditions: a gold cake for the groom. Do you know it symbolizes? Let me know in the comments below!

In designing the menu, we looked to the phases of the moon for inspiration: ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Each course was named after a phase of the moon beginning with the first course - "new moon".⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The guest's name was on the front, the menu on the back, and sized to nestle inside a gold beaded glass charger.
⁠⁠
Dang! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Thank you to Christina at @lemoncello_design who never laughs at my crazy ideas and always seems to create something better than even I ever imagined. ⁠⁠

When the couple have nothing but stars in their eyes it's only appropriate to create an escort card display that reflects the planets too! 💕⁠⁠⁠

Always take time for just the two of you immediately after the ceremony. When you can take a deep breath and laugh at every moment (when the minister had the hiccups), and know that the best is yet to come! ⁠

⁠⁠
Whether you're in the trenches or on top of the world, as a planner, I can't imagine a better career to have!⁠⁠💕
⁠⁠
To all of my brides who have been through so much uncertainty - know I have your back....⁠⁠
⁠⁠
UM.. and I know how to bustle your dress (because the Maid of Honour is MIA) ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
and I will show you how to hold your bouquet so your arms look quite perfect and your waist tiny...⁠⁠
⁠⁠
and will tell you when you have spinach in your teeth, or need more lipgloss for those picture-perfect images.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I will never be in the way but never far from sight⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In fact all the things 🥰⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Wedding Season - 2021 - We're ready... bring it!!⁠⁠

I am always fascinated by the wedding bands brides

I am always fascinated by the wedding bands brides and grooms choose. Symbolic of their style and their lives. ⁠
⁠
Grooms, unused to wearing a ring, can often be seen on their wedding day unconsciously rotating their ring around their finger - unused to its presence. ⁠
⁠
I recently read The Four Seasons of Marriage by Gary Chapman. ⁠
⁠
"Spring, summer, winter, fall. Marriages are perpetually in a state of transition, continually moving from one season to another―perhaps not annually, as in nature, but just as certainly and consistently. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes we find ourselves in winter―discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times, we experience springtime with its openness, hope, and anticipation. ⁠
⁠
On other occasions, we bask in the warmth of summer―comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. ⁠
⁠
The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature"⁠
⁠
I love that on a wedding day, the wedding bands are all shiny and new (Spring) and weather the ever-changing seasons. ⁠
⁠
And just like a ring that gets slightly battered through age and use, spring comes once more as you lovingly care for it and take it in for a polish. ⁠
⁠
My point is...a relationship stands the test of time with love and care.

What are the things you do to deepen your relationship? Let me know in the comments below! ⁠💕

Sometimes the lesson we learn can only be seen in

Sometimes the lesson we learn can only be seen in our rear view mirror. ⁠
⁠
October 31, 2020 was our last wedding of the year. We did three. ⁠
⁠
Each were so gloriously different. ⁠
⁠
One of my favourite expressions (and I appear to have many) - is that if you don’t learn, you don’t grow. Then you die. British humor clearly. ⁠
⁠
Until now, I haven’t made time to share some of the amazing things we get up to. How we are so unbelievably lucky to do what we do. How I love that each wedding stretches my imagination while we work through design and logistics (and budget). The heck with thinking outside the box ... in my world there never is a box! ⁠
⁠
And so it was with Sam and Don’s late October wedding... that was postponed more than once, and the structure changed... more than once until it finally happened. ⁠
⁠
They wanted rich colours and for it to be romantic And celestial. They were busy at work and more academically minded so they left it to me to create. ⁠
⁠
This week I will be sharing their wedding with you. Beautifully captured by @ambda ⁠
⁠
All will be featured on our website under “Weddings” but first the lesson - always carry a croquet hook. You’ll never know when you’ll need it! ⁠
⁠
Enjoy! ⁠

Well good morning! I received a text from my bes

Well good morning!

I received a text from my bestie this morning ... “Have you stopped posting on Bermuda Bride?”

It wasn’t an accusation. It was a fact.

2020 was a doozy. To say I struggled is an understatement! After 20 years of being a successful wedding planner, 2020 ripped the rug out from under my feet.

Cancellations and postponements. I had no answers. Zip. Nada. Zilch.

And without being able to offer solutions, it felt like I had lost my identity.

I decided to close my office in town, downsized my crew, went to bed and gained 19.

2021 offered so much promise but instead there was more confusion, more postponements.

More questions and no answers.

But that did not deter me, I decided that no matter what, I would always come up with alternatives and from alternatives would come solutions.

I’d love to share with you my new office. It’s my walk in wardrobe. And you know what.. while it’s not a designer town office, it’s a great solution and I love it. 💕

And no, I still don’t have many of the answers but when 2021 nipped on my heels, I dusted myself off, put on some lipstick and created a new plan. And I have never been happier. 💕 and through this journey, I am now a better planner.

Now don’t get me wrong, there were also some amazing highlights to last year.

Can’t wait to share with you not only the best of last few years but the best of what’s to come!

“She’s back!”

J + B - two people who are truly meant to be toget

J + B - two people who are truly meant to be together. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When I met J + B and saw how they interacted with each other, I felt I finally understood the enormity and depths of the ocean. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There was this play between them where one would begin and the other would end, but always heading in the same direction. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
J's has the most infectious laugh and such positive energy. B didn't say much, but when he did, it was astute and pithy and you paid attention. They have this amazing balance that is hard-won from truly knowing each other over time. A couple who truly are just as awesome on the inside. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It was an honour to have met you both and help you plan your wedding (more than once!!) ⁠⠀
