Valentine Brides

   Cupid was very busy last weekend.  What could be more romantic then a valentine wedding?  Brides are always looking for unique ideas to make their wedding special. Many of our valentine brides wore a touch of  red or pink in their gown as well as accented color accessories. Some brides chose  to be less traditional and were married in gold,  red and shades of pink evening gowns. Congratulations to all the happy couples!!

Winter Weddings

 Driving to work Saturday  morning I happened upon a group of groomsmen in front of the congregational church in Bethel. I could not help but feel sorry for the bride who invisioned a beautiful snow white day but was instead greeted by this sad slushy mess left over from our last ice storm. I was so hoping to get a glimps of the bride, curious to see if she was wearing snow boots and a ski jacket or a fur coat and pumps.

It is estimated that less then 5% of weddings take place in January. We are seeing that more brides are now willing to book their weddings in the off season. A winter wedding can really be beautiful, and as reception halls and other wedding vendors have more availability in the off season maybe a little snow isn't a bad thing after all.
