I understand the appeal of having a wedding outdoors – who wouldn’t want the natural beauty of nature to be the backdrop of their special day? Because I got married in October (in a chilly, unpredictable city like Montreal) an outdoor ‘do was a major “don’t” in my mind. But a lot of couples, especially those who live in cold climates, seize the opportunity of summer and opt for a wedding outside beneath the skies, trees or stars.

an outdoor affair

There’s something about an outdoor ceremony and reception that is fresh and inviting (as long as the weather holds!). Wedding vendors are catching on to the outdoor wedding trend by offering lots of terrific products that will help stylize your day. Most outdoor weddings take place in the summer months when the weather is warm, so in case it’s downright hot, offer guests individual fans (solid or folding ones) – place one on each seat, across a plate in a place setting, or set up a basket of them near the entrance. Also help your bridesmaids stay cool by giving them each a pretty parasol (you could even use them in place of holding a bouquet).

But then I found it, and felt that now is as good a time to share it with you as any other. You see, a long time ago, I wrote a little Top Ten of things to do to drive your wedding planner insane. It’s not a very nice list, albeit I tried to make it as funny as possible. Sadly, it is all based on past experiences (trust me, most of it doesn’t happen anymore). The reason I didn’t post it sooner is that it might not make me look like the nicest person in the world. But now ...

A little word on wedding planning

Hello everyone! Ok, I am sooo excited about this post, my hands are actually shaking right now. I have quite a bit of thoughts to share today, so please bare with me if it gets too long. I had lunch today with Azar from Principal Planner. Well, it was supposed to be brunch, but we were both late. After “blunch”, we decided to go for coffee on a terrace, from which we got kicked out after a couple of hours. So we ended up enjoying the late afternoon sunshine sitting on the grass on the Mountain. Now, if you don’t know what a wedding planner’s life is like, let me tell you: Two of them getting together, mid-May, to spend 5 hours doing nothing but ...
