Looking for winter wedding inspiration? Grab a hot toddy and check out our latest photoshoot gallery over at Style Me Pretty, where we celebrate both Canada’s epic chilly weather and the beauty of a Celtic Christmas wedding!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and of course Something Blue. All very traditional when it comes to your wedding. Have a special photo taken with all of these precious items to have in your photo album and show your guests!

Luxury Tip: If you can with this tradition, its always a little more special to have items that mean something to you or your family, however, it is also great to start new ones so don’t be afraid on having a little of both!

Are you on the fence about having a ring bearer and flower girl in the wedding party? Here are some tips and tricks to help the day run smoothly:

1. Use the buddy system, the idea of having two flower girls or pairing up ring bearer and flower girl so that they can walk side by side. Partnering will boost their confidence.

2. If some bridesmaids are nervous about the processional, then the flower girl is definitely going to be a little spooked. Lots of practice can help with the nerves and having the parents follow up with pep talks.

3. If possible, arrange to have the flower girl attend the shower and/or the bridesmaids’ lunch (if the bride is having one) to boost her comfort level around the other (bigger) bridal attendants. Seeing friendly, familiar faces on the big day will help to ease any anxiety.

4. Seat the flower girl’s parents toward the front of the ceremony so she can focus on them and be encouraged by their smiles of reassurance

5. Keep in mind that having children in the ceremony means there’s only so much one can control. Rest assured that whatever the flower girl does (cries, drops the basket, lifts up her dress…), her personality and preciousness will make the guests smile.

Are you Planning a Destination wedding? If so enjoy the adventure and consider some of these beautiful locations for your venue. Start your marriage in the amazing gardens of Montego Bay, Jamaica or the vineyards in Italy.

Montego Bay, Jamaica: The gypsophila flowers are perfect to give a relaxed but dramatically pretty feel

 Castillo Vicarello: this beautiful styling was left to a minimum, and most of the details were understated and natural, which is a perfect combination

 Florence Italy: such a romantic setting, loving the exposed stone the venue speaks for itself

Take a break from planning and treat yourself this month. Splurge on beautiful Kate Spade earrings, they are just the right amount of sparkle and class, and will be a great accessory to any little black dress for upcoming christmas parties.

There is nothing wrong with having a white themed wedding, It can be done!! If you are not one for the loud purples, pinks or oranges and you and your fiance want a really neutral colour palette; then having white as your linens, flowers and  even dresses might be an option for you.

Luxury Tip: How to make a white wedding look elegant: Have small pops of color (like  blush pink) in your accessories like napkins or favours. For example you might have large white centrepiece but having a selection of coloured flowers will make your wedding really come together without having too much white. Its a good way to keep that monotone theme throughout your venue without looking out of place.

We are in love with the idea of having an outdoor bar at either your cocktail hour or reception. The clean white lines will take your wedding to a whole new level of luxury. Your guests will enjoy their drinks at a bar that is truly stylish and upscale and make them feel like they are at a high class party in New York.

Luxury tip: by adding pops of white in your decor (such as a sleek bar) it will open up the space and make your venue feel bigger and more luxiourous. Also it wont be competing against any solid colours you might have in your centrepieces or tablecloths.

You can never go wrong with elegance, class and beauty. If you are looking for a dress that is not only figure flattering, but truly timeless you should consider a lazaro gown. The contrast of a silk bodice, beaded belt and weighless full skirt makes this designer a  top priority on our wish list!
