BRIDAL SHOW TIPS

RSVP Events will be at the Wedding Palace Bridal show January 11th & 12th to re launch our exclusive wedding package “My wedding in a box!” Don’t forget to grab your tickets and come see us. A few tips to help you get the most out of this show.

Tip #1: Most shows start at 11am. Plan to be there early. You will avoid long line ups and this will give you a better chance to enter all the draws and also talk with the wedding vendors that you want to work with.

Tip #2: Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. There might not be a spot to sit. Expect to be walking around and standing most of the time. Be as comfortable as you can be.

Tip #3: Create a free email account that you give out to vendors at the show. Use this account to communicate with all your wedding vendors during the planning process. Avoid using your work email. Ideal an email that includes your groom.

Tip #4: Pre-do little labels with your name and email address and mailing address. This makes it go faster instead of writing it all out a hundred times. Do not forget to include your wedding date.

Tip #5: Only take flyers and business cards from companies you are truly interested in working with.

Hope to see you at the show! Contact us for more details.

Happy Planning

Cheers!

WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING

10 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE YOU SHOP FOR YOUR WEDDING DRESS

Shopping for a wedding dress can be overwhelming and stressful for some brides. We have put together 10 useful tips to keep you from going crazy once you actually decide to start shopping for your dream dress.

Tip #1: It takes about 5 to 8 months for your wedding dress to come in. This will greatly depend on which bridal shop you decide to shop with. Most bridal stores ask that you book early to guarantee that you get your dress on time. Book Early!

Tip #2: Leave your entourage at home! Don’t take everyone with you. Take 2 or 3 people with you when you go shop. Taking everyone can become stressful especially with all the different opinions. You are meant to enjoy this moment.

Tip #3: What’s your wedding dress style? We suggest having an idea of what style you would like to go with. Keep your wedding theme in mind as well as the location and time of season of your wedding. Your body shape should also be considered. Not everyone looks good in a ball gown. Choose a style that compliments your body type.

Tip #4: Budget! Have a budget in mind. Tell the sales person what your budget is and let them help you with a dress that is in and around your wedding budget. No point having them bring you an over the top looking dress to only find out it is way over your budget. Stick to your budget! Remember to set a realistic budget.

Tip #5: Be open minded. Not every dress you see in a magazine will look the same on you. Find a dress that looks good on you.

Tip #6: Saturday is a busy day for most Bridal stores. Find out which day is not busy for the particular store you would like to visit and book your appointment. The sales person will have the time to spend one on one time with you and provide you with the best service.

Tip #7: Make an Appointment! When you find out what day is not the busiest, book a date! We encourage you to still make an appointment so that they are prepared for you.

Tip #8: Get your hair and Make up done. This will give you a better idea on how the overall look will be! If you can not do this, don’t worry.

Tip #9: If you go up 1 or 2 dress sizes, do not stress. All dresses are made differently. It does not mean you put on weight :)!

Tip #10: Have fun! Only go when you are ready to shop. Don’t shop around as this will only stress you out more.

Happy Shopping! Contact us for more details.

CAKE CUTTING, BOUQUET TOSS, ARE YOU STILL FOLLOWING TRADITIONS?

A lot of our brides today are no longer following traditions. For those that are still following the wedding traditions, do you know what each tradition symbolizes? Why do we carry the wedding bouquet? Why do we cut the wedding cake? Find out where all these started and some of the traditions really mean here.

The Bridal Bouquet:

Back in the days, in Greek and Roman eras, brides carried herbs like thyme and garlic arrangements to hide the smell of their body odor. They also did this to bring luck or ward off bad luck. This tradition become fashionable in the mid- 19th century. Why do you carry a bridal bouquet?

Tossing of the Bouquet:

It is tradition for the bride to throw away the bouquet at a wedding reception for all single women to catch.The lucky lady that caught the bouquet was believed to be the next one to wed. Where did this tradition come from? Back in History, it was believed that the bride would only wear her dress once. The dress was believed to be good luck as it represented fertility. At the end of the wedding, people would chase the bride down and try to take pieces of the dress for luck to take home. Over the years, dresses become more expensive, more grand and more brides decided to keep the dresses to pass on. To distract the other ladies, brides decided to toss the bouquet with the hope that the guests at the wedding would leave her dress in tact.

The First Kiss:

“You may now kiss your bride”, this usually symbolized the conclusion of the wedding ceremony. It was believed that the kiss sealed the couples agreement to join in a life time commitment with each other.

Cake Cutting

It is believed that the cutting of the cake is the first task of the couples life together. In Roman times, it was believed that by sharing the first piece of cake together, a special bond was created with the couple.

Wedding Veil

The bridal veil was originally invented by pagans to ward off evil spirits who tried to take away the purity of the bride.It was believed that evil spirits would be attracted to the bride, so they covered her face with a veil in order to conceal her features to distract and confuse them.

WIN A WEDDING VEIL

WEDDING VEIL

“Knock, Knock, Knock”

That was the first sound I heard this cold snowy winter morning as I awoke, and to my pleasure there was a parcel sitting at the door waiting for me. Is it Christmas already? I thought to myself. I mean, I will never say no to a gift, regardless. As I looked on the box and read the item had arrived from a company called Simply Bridal. Now I was curious. I opened the box and pulled out the most beautiful vintage, lace, wedding veil with a sweet note that said, “share this with one of your clients and tell us what you think.” The veil was full of life with two layers and a small hidden comb to fasten in tight to the hair. Not too short and not too long. The longest layer just hit my waist and the 2^nd layer flowed beautifully above.

On the edge of this veil was handcrafted scalloped lace with beautifully situated and dispersed pearls. This was such a romantic look, great for classic, chic or even vintage! I began to think of what client I could share this with. I quickly noticed the bride could have short or long hair and still have it look gorgeous with her dress. In order to really capture the beauty I had my employee model it and took some photos to share with you.

Now its time to take a look at the photos, if you like what you see and your planning your wedding, go to www.facebook.com/RSVPeventsCanada to find out how this veil could be yours.
