Avocado Kiss: the thing about weddings

M and I are trying really hard to think of useful things to talk about for your wedding. It would be easy to fill up the blog with pictures of dresses and fancy parties, but is this helpful? 90% of us out there can't afford the lavish affairs we see in all the bridal mags. Instead we think it's important to make the most of what you can afford, and bring your personality into your wedding celebration. No more cookie cutter weddings! If you can't afford to have flowers on every table, pick one focal point to use them and find something fun for a centerpiece, like old photographs.

Sometimes it's the smallest things that make the party memorable...last summer we attended a wedding where the bride and groom both loved candy, so they had some of their favorites at the sign in table. At this same wedding, the groom also loved fishing, as did many of his friends, so they included fishing lures with their favours. One more fun thing about this wedding, was the way the guests got the bride and groom to kiss. The MC picked couple's names out of a bowl, that couple had to stand up and kiss, and then the bride and groom would kiss, but to add more fun, they imitated the way the couple who was chosen had kissed. It was hilarious!

Another way you can incorporate your personality, is through colour scheme. From doing wedding invitations, we know that brown and pink, pink and green, and brown and green, have been really popular the last couple of years. It's time to think outside the box, and bring some orginitality to your day through colour. Below are some bouquets and the bridesmaids dresses that inspired them.
