They persist and last through multiple seasons and die hard. Mason Jars, Burlap, Chalkboard signs, Blush and Gold- these are all weddings trends that have persisted very strongly over the past few years. I&#8217;d like to see brides and grooms steer away from these predictable trends and begin focusing on their personal love stories as the inspiration behind their wedding decor and plans. I think next season, we will see more colour in gem tones and brights. I also think we&#8217;ll continue to see a shift toward non-traditional weddings that include al fresco dining, lawn games, food trucks, cook outs, karaoke and other fun items. With couples getting busier, and weddings requiring more and more coordination, I think we&#8217;ll start seeing more and more couples <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/event-planners\/wedding-planners\">booking wedding planners<\/a>\u00a0in a Month-of capacity since couples now have a keener sense on how much work goes into a flawless event. I also think we will see more intimate weddings at smaller venues with a really great dinner party, a perfectly styled tablescape, and great conversation.\u201d <b><i>&#8211; Lynzie Kent, <a class=\"listing-mentionable listing-mentionable-enabled listing-mentionable-enabled\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/mad-bash-group\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-listing=\"5196\">Mad Bash Group<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p> <hr \/> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Melissa-Andre-Wizard-of-oz-ad.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone size-full wp-image-11815\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNjAwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYwMCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTUlMkYwNyUyRk1lbGlzc2EtQW5kcmUtV2l6YXJkLW9mLW96LWFkLmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5MDAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjAwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Melissa Andre Wizard of oz ad\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\"  \/><\/a><span class=\"caption\">Image Courtesy of Melissa Andre Events<\/span><\/p> <h4><b>What are some of the best ways a bride and groom can set the tone for their wedding?<\/b><\/h4> <p>&#8220;One of the best ways to set the tone for your wedding is with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/invitations-stationery\">invitation<\/a>. This is the first design piece that guests will experience and should suggest the level of formality, style, and mood. Choosing a metallic letterpress invitation with calligraphy suggests something traditional and formal. Alternatively, you can opt for something more fun and whimsical that includes graphics and multiple colors that may offer a more relaxed feel. I have produced invitations that are dye cut in the shape of a heart or actually printed on plantable petal paper for an earthy look. There are endless options when it comes to stationery design and when paired with the proper wording, this will give guests an idea of your aesthetic, the vision you have for your day, and what has inspired your vision.&#8221; <b><i>&#8211; Melissa Andre, <a class=\"listing-mentionable listing-mentionable-disabled listing-mentionable-disabled\" href=\"#\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener

the process. A lot of couples dread the planning, but it truly is a moment in time to be celebrated (because you are getting married soon!). It all boils down to making decisions and creating a celebration that your family and friends will enjoy with you. Sure there are a lot of expenses and decisions to be made, but it should not be a stressful experience. If you are finding it overwhelming, take some time off from planning and come back to it later.<\/p> <p>Savour the dress shopping, have fun at your tastings and enjoy the celebratory energy that is all around you. Hiring an experienced wedding planner and professional vendors will also help with easing the stress. But, just remember, the engagement is short lived, so take it all in.

What often happens is that a couple underestimates the cost of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/event-decor\/florists\">flowers<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/event-decor\">d\u00e9cor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/photographers\">photography<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/audio-visual\">lighting<\/a> etc. and books a venue which eats up a large portion of their budget and is left without a realistic amount \u00a0to spend on all the other components needed to pull off the event they envision. My advice would be to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/event-planners\">hire a planner<\/a> prior to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/venues\/wedding-venues\">booking a wedding venue<\/a> or do a lot of cost research!&#8221;\u00a0<em><strong>&#8211; Malvina Chevolleau, <a class=\"listing-mentionable listing-mentionable-disabled listing-mentionable-disabled\" href=\"#\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-listing=\"5538\">Fabulous Occasions<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p> <hr \/> <h4>\u00a0<b>What is a great way for a bride and groom to accommodate children at their wedding?<\/b><\/h4> <p>1) The easiest way to include children in the wedding is to have them be a part of the ceremony or reception. Younger kids can be the flower girl or ring boy and older kids\/tweens can be junior bridesmaids or junior groomsmen.<\/p> <p>Another alternative is to assign jobs to some of the older children. For example, your preteen cousins can hand out programs at the ceremony, help guests find their place cards during the cocktail hour or assist the elderly in finding their seat at the reception.<\/p> <p>2) Prepare individualized loot bags for the kids to keep them busy and entertained. Let&#8217;s face it, even some adults have trouble keeping quiet during speeches, so how can we expect the little ones to stay put? Put together bags with colouring books, puzzles, activities and, of course, candy and place them at each child&#8217;s table. The kids can fill out the activity books right at their table and will stay quiet throughout the reception.<\/p> <p>3) If you are expecting a lot of children to attend the wedding, think of hiring a babysitter to watch the kids during the reception, in a separate room of the venue. Provide the babysitter with board games, activity books or handheld video games that the kids can play with. As well, you can also rent a projector and screen from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/audio-visual\">A\/V<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/music-djs\">DJ company<\/a> and show the children a movie.
