08/30/11PETS IN WEDDINGS & A CELEBRITY WEDDING POLL
PETS IN WEDDINGS: If you’re a pet lover and you’re getting married, then you’ve probably considered making your four-legged friend a part of your big day. For many owners, pets ARE family members. Pets in weddings is a popular trend that’s gaining steam and credibility, as more and more people want to include their pet family members in some form or fashion. But before running out to buy diamond-studded collars and custom-made tuxedos (doggie-sized of course), there are a few things to consider. First, conform that your venues, both ceremony and reception, will allow it. Some churches and other venues have pet restrictions, so you might have to consider alternate locations.

08/16/11LAKE RECEPTIONS & WEDDING PHOTO CHECKLIST
LAKE RECEPTIONS: Mount Dora is one of my favorite places in Central Florida. Great places to eat, shop and of course – get married! Lake Receptions is located in the heart of historic Mount Dora and has been recognized as one of the area’s premier banquet and wedding facilities. Its fairytale-like architecture and décor creates the perfect backdrop, while it’s chameleon-like interior transforms to accommodate a wide variety of wedding themes. What I like most about this venue [and their staff] is the eagerness to create an individualized event that will exceed what any bride has envisioned for her wedding day. That kind of customer service is priceless and what every bride deserves. Posted at 08:09 AM | Permalink | Comments: 0 |

08/02/11DORA MAE CUSTOM JEWELRY & CAKE CANVAS KEEPSAKES
DOR MAE CUSTOM JEWELRY: Dora Mae jewelry designer, Ansley Schrimsher, got the idea to give a fresh and modern look to vintage jewelry after receiving her grandmother’s 50-year collection of antique pieces. Her goal is to take a beautifully existing piece and artistically rejuvenate it. After catching the attention of area brides with her amazing work, she established the Marry Mae collection. One-of-a-kind antique jewelry pieces can be made for the bride and/or her wedding party. Note the necklaces the bridesmaids are wearing in the picture; each is unique, but all work well together. Schrimsher prefers to meet with each bride to discuss their personal style and vision for the jewelry. She can do anything from Victorian to mid-century modern. Each piece is...
