10 top reasons to book wedding in a box
Attention Maids of Honour – Planning a Bachelorette Party is tricky because you not only have to plan around what your Bride wants, but you also have a group of people that you need to ensure have a blast too. The trick is variety. We have some great ideas to help you plan the perfect Bachelorette Party in Ottawa with the objective of making the Bride feel as special as possible surrounded by the people she loves the most.
Is your Bride the Quiet Type looking to spend the night with a delicious meal, good conversation and Mojitos? Or is she the Outgoing Type, wanting to try something new, go hiking for a weekend or take a dance class with all her favourite people? Is she a Wild Type looking for a night that she may not remember? Nostalgia often fuels a Bachelorette Party and she may want to kick it on the town at her favourite clubs, with her bests and her dancing shoes (or no shoes at all!). The bottom line is, the night must be one to remember and a night to remind the Bride about how loved she is, not only by the person she is about to marry, but by those who have supported her along the journey.
THE QUIET BRIDE
The Buzz, is a fantastic intimate restaurant located at 374 Bank St, Ottawa. Known for their Martinis and Mojitos, The Buzz offers an intimate space, with a beautiful ambiance and perfect energy for everyone in your party. Start your night at The Buzz with their delicious dinner menu featuring items such as their Ahi Tuna Nachos or their House Specialty Buzz, Steak Frites! Once you’ve indulged, you have the option of simply hopping across the street to Babylon or Barrymore’s to dance you little hearts out. The Buzz is open late and has a variety of beverages, so if dancing is not in the cards, stay and enjoy the wonderful service, music and drinks. It’s a perfect spot for the Brides looking to catch up and socialize with her closest buds in style.

THE ADVENTUROUS BRIDE
Okay, so you don’t just want a quiet night eating and drinking, you’d prefer doing something together as a group activity. This is a great idea, but can be tricky depending on how many people you have in your party. Pole Dancing has become a very popular Bachelorette Party option. It is an activity that is fun for all shapes and sizes and gives everyone the opportunity to let go, learn something new, feel sexy and most of all laugh. Ottawa Pole Fitness, located at 1066 Somerset St. West, offers a fun and comfortable experience with 2 beautiful studios and professional teachers. OPF is no stranger to hosting unique, sexy Bachelorette Parties.

Now that you have some great ideas, go ahead and start planning! Combine dinner and dancing or hiking and sing Karaoke, and make her night memorable. Make reservations well in advance and ensure everyone in the party knows the plan. Remember this night is for the Bride and her friends to celebrate friendship and love! Happy planning!
Recently engaged? Your friends and family are without a doubt happy for you and you are now extremely excited to get the planning started! What’s on your mind? Wedding décor, wedding colours and venue! The color and style of your big day will play a big role on determining your wedding location. If it doesn’t, it should! The colors you pick will set the tone for your big day. You have fantasied about this day since you were a little mini you, and you pretty much have a good idea of what colors you want to use. Some of you may not have a clue, we suggest using the tips below to get you started.

First thing you need to do is determine your bridal style. Modern & Minimal, Casual & Relaxed, Classic & Timeless, Romantic and Soft, Bold and vibrant, Chic and Modern, these are just a few words that should help describe your wedding style. Let the time of year help you determine the colours as well. Another way of you determine your colours is to look around you, your environment, your wardrobe (not your standard black work outfit), the place you like to hang out (Bookstore, coffee places). This will definitely make it easy for you. Once you have pinpointed your style, work with it. Use a mood board to pin all your ideas (Hint: use Pinterest as a start). Look at your mood board and see how you feel. Get help from a wedding stylist!

Consider your wedding location. If your wedding venue has rich colours, you need to consider colours that will compliment this. Look at the curtains if any, the carpets is a big one, do they have neutral decorations around the room? Can you move these decorations or are you not allowed to touch them. You might have to work with what the venue has in order to make it work. The last thing you need is having the colours over powering each other.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with following wedding trends. We ultimately want you to create something that reflects you as a couple. You need to pick something that screams YOU but also creates a fun environment for all your wedding guests. If you really want to follow a trend use something that you have seen from a past wedding, wedding magazine, wedding blog and add a spin to it to reflect you and make it uniquely yours. Do your research and find something that works for you.
We suggest using three main colours for your wedding. Pick one colour to dominate, the other to support and the third colour to be used as an accent colour. The dominant colour is the colour that stands out and is the most obvious colour. The supporting colour can be a different shade of your main colour, such as red and a dark orange. The accent colour is used to highlight your main colour by giving it contrast or by giving your main colour more emphasis.
With this in mind, you can add different items to your wedding to make it work. Use different textures, lighting, and flowers to add to your overall look. Use a mood board to make it easier.

Now that you have your colours all figured out, it’s time to tie all this together to produce something out of this world (Hopefully :)). Lighting around the room is a great way to use the colours, your bridesmaids’ dresses and even your wedding cake. Your wedding flowers- make this your dominant colour or the accent part of your colour choice. Wedding invitation, table numbers, ribbons are all great ways to tie in your colour scheme to work. The grooms men – The waist coat, boutonnieres or the ties will need to have the wedding colours incorporated.
– Do the meanings of certain colours matter to you? For example, Lavender symbolizes femininity, grace and elegance. Does this describe your wedding style?
– Are they any cultural or traditional consideration that might play a part in choosing your colour scheme? For example in China, red is the color of good luck and is used as a holiday and wedding colour whereas in most parts of Africa, it is considered a colour of mourning and represents death.
– Wedding season- Keep in mind the different seasons. For winter seasons, blues, silver and whites tend to work well. For a fall weddings- the gold, browns, reds and dark oranges are great colours.
These are just guidelines. You are allowed to pick any colour of your choice. Your colours should flow well. If you require more help, do not hesitate to contact our planners.

Heels are known to instantly add glamour, style and elegance to your look, and not forgetting that they make you feel sexy. Your wedding dress is just as important as the shoes on your feet. You want to look good, but be comfortable.
Are you a heel kind of girl? Do you wear it out for your girls night out events, at the office or even just to hang out? If not, its best to start practicing. Walk around the office in them, around the house or whenever the opportunity presents itself. Keep in mind wearing heels constantly can result in bad posture, blisters and worse case scenario, a terrible injury should you fall and hurt yourself. By practicing, you lower the risks of these issues occurring as well as avoid embarrassing tumbles down the aisle.
Remember, your wedding day is going to be a long day. Secretly carry a pair of chic flats with you should your feet start to hurt for any reason. You can even chose to alternate between the two, wear flats during dinner and change into your heels for your first dance. Just make sure they look suitable and they match the style of your wedding dress.
Don’t forget that pedicure!
