The usual typical prenup concept where in outfits like gown, coat and tie are being worn were not usually their thing.
The idea was to showcase their love for travel together, to wander in new places away from the busy city life, and to experience simple life with nature.
The couple find these kinds of activities very stress relieving and renewed not just a couple but as an individual.
Despite the gloomy weather, the threat of the rain looms over the clouds just in time for Dabid and Aj Engagement shoot... The colorful moody tones, lights, frames, grains and even out of focus images transcend on their limitless idea of art.
The couple is a good example that no matter what the weather is, even if the plan “A” doesn’t work, there’s always a perfect timing and perfect place for a perfect feeling of love.

challenges? </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b>We held our wedding last June 12, 2021, during our second year anniversary. Mikko and I really
wanted an intimate wedding even before the pandemic struck so cutting the guest list wasn't
much of a big deal for us. The challenge came in when our close family and friends— mostly
those who live in other countries and the elderlies— could not come because of the restrictions.
It sure did give us a bit of a heartache but we just had to move on from it.
We were able to overcome issues by first classifying if it was under our control or not. One big
issue that was out of our control during this period was the unexpected change in quarantine
schedules. We didn’t dwell on it as much but we sure did arm ourselves with back-up plans. On
the other hand, the guest list kept on changing because each person had their own issues with
their work or health. I would say that this caused me the biggest heartache but I still classified it
as something that I can control because it gave me a chance to invite other friends or relatives to
the wedding</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><span style="color: black;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-r27upGJHbpUEkv8GDL5Kj82RK8ALekS6MU2pZIYmYbkiuk7F0qbmB1ivwfgAoIPDVoS_Qni7VeMbf2pQXgBt9062NKSbsLf_6qlAp-KyUIqTlyx__xITZiv1qDS0nXBLXuTzlcKfTQw/s2048/Mikko%2526Jaimee-Edits-145.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-r27upGJHbpUEkv8GDL5Kj82RK8ALekS6MU2pZIYmYbkiuk7F0qbmB1ivwfgAoIPDVoS_Qni7VeMbf2pQXgBt9062NKSbsLf_6qlAp-KyUIqTlyx__xITZiv1qDS0nXBLXuTzlcKfTQw/s16000/Mikko%2526Jaimee-Edits-145.jpg" /></a></div> What advice can you give to brides who may have felt defeated in planning their wedding

seem as a task or a stressor but try to refrain to see it as such. Always remember that this is your
day. You are not hosting a party or directing a show. You are inviting people to celebrate this

in your guest list and consider having everyone tested, for your own peace of mind. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b>Most of all, if you really are feeling defeated, try to step back a bit and remember the very reason
why you are getting married and start from there again. Weddings shouldn't be all about the
spectacle but I have to admit that it’s easy to get caught in that rabbit hole. So just try to step
back and think of this beautiful union that you are about to have with your partner and try to
stick within the essentials </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizswUxdYHZs8YnzmsXmLlpl1cxaWWY_YWU2koLvl6vpUwec98HpKnmIhD47eOvdonaps5EMvUTMFskOdGDBAsqQTK5hvXyauAAzAxKCTnHQ4n3IiuFV_C-_YkcW5-qshnzvDiX9mxImnw/s2048/Mikko%2526Jaimee-Edits-208.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizswUxdYHZs8YnzmsXmLlpl1cxaWWY_YWU2koLvl6vpUwec98HpKnmIhD47eOvdonaps5EMvUTMFskOdGDBAsqQTK5hvXyauAAzAxKCTnHQ4n3IiuFV_C-_YkcW5-qshnzvDiX9mxImnw/s16000/Mikko%2526Jaimee-Edits-208.jpg" /></a></div></span><b>We already know that the pandemic created some negative effects to weddings but what do you

our guests. I've always thought that Gideon is the bride of brides because every girl dreams of
him as their wedding florist. But I would like to take this space and thank Gideon, again, not just
for his talent but for being such a beautiful person. He didn't just design the venue, he lessened
our stress by showing us that he is in control of the situation (mainly because we had rain scares
during that day). He is such a calm and down to earth person which made us admire and trust
him more. Ms. Angelica, our account manager from House of Hermosa was also a delight to
deal with. She accepted and replied to my every request with a smile and Gideon didn't fail to
execute my wishes and more. House of Hermosa is more than just Gideon’s talent, they have so
many VIP clients but they didn't make us feel any less. They make each wedding as beautiful and
grand on its own.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b> </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b>I would also recommend being hands-on on your detailing and planning. It’s true that this day

We did a burger-inspired editorial shoot with Quirky Creatives a couple of years ago. Was this a sign that they were about to shift from weddings to food? </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">Hello everyone, Rebellious Brides here. Back from yet another hiatus. Yes, yes. Guilty as charged. But let's not talk about that and just get on with the program, shall we? </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Times have been hard since the pandemic and one of the most affected industries are weddings (for a number of obvious reasons that we don't think we need to further elaborate on). And so we thought that it would be awesome to lift the industry up in our own little way, by creating features on wedding businesses all around the world. Our goal is not just to promote these businesses but also to maybe inspire other wedding business owners by sharing what others have done to survive in these difficult times. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So if you are a wedding business owner, or want to nominate a wedding business, email us at kai@rebelliousbrides.com for a possible feature. We will try to do this once a month. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And we are so excited to kick things off by featuring one of our favorite wedding photographers based in Manila. A husband-and-wife tandem that we've collaborated with in the past....</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Our very first Wedding Business Spotlight feature goes to... Quirky Creatives *insert applause here* </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">During the height of the pandemic, we witnessed the natural evolution of this fun wedding photographer team as they were forced to temporarily pause operations for Quirky Creatives and launch a new business called <span style="color: #800180;"><b>Slice of Life</b></span>. Our interview with Noel and Rae was both eye-opening and inspiring. And we hope that their story can help other wedding businesses stay relevant and find new revenue streams as well.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0qej6P8iZJKpl4caN5645sfVV70okWUSvxah5yYajEKBtwoO29MZxFXgE28jHr87O0LnMUO0LRMH0TtXA1oT7jQG68F7Wnuouce-Hn8zOOBnkTZEgJQL8aQC-u-Z4l9kKXkRTt3kJNk/s2048/jvgladwed+40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1204" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0qej6P8iZJKpl4caN5645sfVV70okWUSvxah5yYajEKBtwoO29MZxFXgE28jHr87O0LnMUO0LRMH0TtXA1oT7jQG68F7Wnuouce-Hn8zOOBnkTZEgJQL8aQC-u-Z4l9kKXkRTt3kJNk/s16000/jvgladwed+40.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiubC_ynvCvVgoZGz7aMFZtSh8ZVtLgtzAhwL_0AfYymhpib3cVR8oZ8NoCa3T97mo-Mu6_z-ncjxFrPukjrOcFSwgmj7TfqREdTGyJBv-0pSvCD4N8ptA0f6FVR_0UUtQHFdvu9kPzm1g/s2048/jvgladwed+40.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1534" data-original-width="2048" height="1520" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNlEmFQWIctDnvt_CLd08HPnVwL42IFy8ewnSm_e9XieqQAeOooxAf0snRpGklujetmuLPePUXsOmnR4cy4Tv5IWAXOO_OlUtdigR-I91mHlzstGXM9bo8HcKA0-qJm3K3gNLNpwJpVXk/w2029-h1520/jvgladwed+91.jpg" width="2029" /></a></div><p>The photos above were taken from the last wedding that Quirky Creatives had before the first 2020 hard lockdown started. Back then, there were already stories of a virus spreading across the world. And just like everyone else, the team didn't think it was going to get as serious as it did. They thought the lockdown was only going to last for 2 weeks--max. But it got extended. One wedding got postponed, then another. And another. Until pretty much all the weddings during the summer season weren't going to push through indefinitely. </p><p>By May 2020, Noel was in panic mode because he had a young new family to support. And to top it all off, in 2019 they invested in expensive equipment for their business. That's when the couple started brainstorming for project ideas that they can do whilst being quarantined at home. The initial idea for Slice of Life was to share on Instagram, quiet moments of their everyday life. Then the idea naturally progressed into creating beautiful photos for new and emerging local businesses. The couple saw an urgent need that can be fulfilled during quarantine life--people started selling their own homemade food creations (and other products), and these new businesses needed quality photos in order to sell their products. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDpSx2Ap2PErvvOGeSqvTh8ibMLIfnytzABSwJaao9UKlpUyEZ6_oz35iqohFAz3CF03rWdhkiTUra3tYsmtZ6_AcJ9w2qXRyNhMN1GpOCmnz4Mewpwr4Rp_tz-DBJFYocv7aPwJuOvw/s1451/Screenshot_20210718_041713.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1451" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUDpSx2Ap2PErvvOGeSqvTh8ibMLIfnytzABSwJaao9UKlpUyEZ6_oz35iqohFAz3CF03rWdhkiTUra3tYsmtZ6_AcJ9w2qXRyNhMN1GpOCmnz4Mewpwr4Rp_tz-DBJFYocv7aPwJuOvw/s16000/Screenshot_20210718_041713.jpg" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p>It wasn't that much of a stretch for them to transition into a diversified photography business because according to Noel,
even before the pandemic, they already expanded their business model
by offering photography services for non-wedding related
companies. They were also offering project management and styling services for corporate events. Not to mention, Rae also had a professional make-up service. This was a couple that knew how to hustle and to channel their creativity into several projects to begin with. <br /></p><p>But there were other photographers who started offering the same photography services so how did Noel and Rae separate themselves from the rest? Well...three things. </p><p> First, the couple took advantage of all that extra time being stuck at home to learn. They decided to absorb as many marketing and branding knowledge that they could find on the web like a sponge. So when they offer photography services, they are also able to create photos aligned with the brand's identity and its objectives. This means that they weren't just creating photos--they were adding more value into it.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQladqE8NZbmdEbDqz1r6-Mx6a1zaXYj2cbNJBSQsCw1m71g7VyXlJehrV6ZPuso8GaM1FXEtXiBty2upQY5tPnwbw-NnTUguhHtylo6jgmMW0E49biRFWKmvDved4gB3GVia4gxwK9U0/s1270/sliceoflife-png.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="1270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQladqE8NZbmdEbDqz1r6-Mx6a1zaXYj2cbNJBSQsCw1m71g7VyXlJehrV6ZPuso8GaM1FXEtXiBty2upQY5tPnwbw-NnTUguhHtylo6jgmMW0E49biRFWKmvDved4gB3GVia4gxwK9U0/s16000/sliceoflife-png.png" /></a></div> <p></p><p>And secondly, their new business has its own clear social media voice. When you check out Slice of Life on Instagram (and Facebook), it is a beautifully curated page created by foodies, for foodies. All of their food clients are assured to be featured in this new social media profile which comes with its own write-ups like a food blog. In other words, Noel and Rae get to try the new dishes created by their clients and they are able to express their experiences in very descriptive captions. And it works. As of this writing, their socials already have a combined 6,000++ followers. And if you know just how hard it is to grow an Instagram account these days, that's an incredible achievement all on its own.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='828' height='689' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxvfdzd2WPc9hWFBk-avfP-jyqA27F4bP8iJcSRIppkn8MJZASYv86lCiVwx9B0dBwk95gzJ2E89BXhjp-DJg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /> <p></p><p>And thirdly, remember I mentioned they were already doing styling for corporate events pre-pandemic days? They used that skill to not just take photos of the food (and other non-food products) but to actually style it--which, if you are familiar with advertising and how commercials are traditionally produced, styling is a completely different service and fee altogether. But they managed to offer it as a packaged service at a reasonable rate. Which again---created even more value to their services. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnpfu9lqwZYYZW0ETOzdofgzaHCe9mxr27flhgAnET_lDct8gFrreqMPTDef9ktgIEb8pjl8RKuKbKCnVUPF0mq8S5VbvijLytA4Nv2C1xdoSiniD8Ha1ZjqwZRNIhqPkhF6elcu26MeU/s2875/the+lost+bread.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1094" data-original-width="2875" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnpfu9lqwZYYZW0ETOzdofgzaHCe9mxr27flhgAnET_lDct8gFrreqMPTDef9ktgIEb8pjl8RKuKbKCnVUPF0mq8S5VbvijLytA4Nv2C1xdoSiniD8Ha1ZjqwZRNIhqPkhF6elcu26MeU/s16000/the+lost+bread.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK7ml7nr8YnDPmoyhr3Y5_41R5LbJVS2RT48YG3QIC20aUWISznZZbsJyfaCAYId_pZuCFlrHKWtnfgnouknxmlet_kTvsXLC3EVy8Xlh9jscMcQfIaJbWpC27WUC_QKU_2foVWGut6MQ/s1800/the+sushi+bake.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK7ml7nr8YnDPmoyhr3Y5_41R5LbJVS2RT48YG3QIC20aUWISznZZbsJyfaCAYId_pZuCFlrHKWtnfgnouknxmlet_kTvsXLC3EVy8Xlh9jscMcQfIaJbWpC27WUC_QKU_2foVWGut6MQ/s16000/the+sushi+bake.jpeg" /></a></div><p></p><p>The results of their new business has been phenomenal.

When asked what it was like to work on weddings again, Noel shares that they are enjoying the fact that most weddings are now more intimate and more personal--just the way they like it. <p></p><p></p><p>But as everyone knows, 2021 is not at all very different from 2020. And we were back to lockdown life, early this year. Now that they have Slice of Life, it's not as scary when weddings get pushed back. </p><p></p><p>As cliche as it sounds, Noel says that the pandemic is proof that you simply cannot put your eggs in one basket. Learn to diversify, learn to be flexible, and learn to continue your education to gain new skills. <br /> </p><p> Follow Quirky Creatives and Slice of Life via the following channels:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sliceoflifemnl/">https://www.instagram.com/sliceoflifemnl/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sliceoflifemnl">https://www.facebook.com/sliceoflifemnl </a><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/quirkycreatives/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/quirkycreatives/?hl=en </a><br /></p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Loved any of these ideas?

<br />
So your wedding has been postponed because of the current crisis. At first you thought, you can just move the date to the 4th quarter of the year. But now, that doesn't even seem feasible anymore. Maybe you and your guests have lost your jobs, and you can no longer financially support the upcoming wedding. Or maybe you are just afraid to push through because of all the fear and uncertainty you see in the news.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> Reality is kicking-in, the dust has settled. It's time to accept that your dream wedding is a thing of the past. It's not going to happen. BUT will you stop there? Or maybe it's time to pick yourself back up and say, <u><b>I AM NOT GIVING-IN TO FEAR</b></u>. Love is love. Do you want to delay your love? Because at the end of the day, the dream wedding was a "nice-to-have." What matters most is getting married to the one you love. <span style="font-size: large;">What we are saying is, it's time to claim your own love story and claim your own control over the situation. Love must conquer all. Love must win over EVIL. </span>What we are trying to say is, the initial shock of your canceled Spring/Summer wedding is done. Time to accept the things you cannot control, and move on. Now, it's time to find the creative solutions as to how you can still get married to your fiance. Remember your fiance? The love of your life? The person you were so excited to spend the rest of your lives with? The person you cannot live without, the person who makes you happy? Remember that the wedding was, and still is, about the two of you. And that's worth surviving all of this.<br />

<br />
The title of this post says that this is a "Brainstorming Session." In the creative industry, that means going on a "huddle" with the team for an upcoming advertising campaign, and just throw all the possible ideas out there without shooting the ideas down. So that's what we'll do now. We are going to throw some ideas on how to claim your love and push through with a wedding. DON'T SHOOT OUR IDEAS DOWN. Just read through it, and if something sticks to you, TRY IT OUT. Maybe it appeals to you and maybe it will work. So here goes:<br />
<br />
1. What if you or your friends/family know a wedding officiator who can perform the wedding rites, as in right now? A grand wedding is no longer possible, but what if you can do it at home (socially distancing with the officiator), style your house with the wedding decor you might have stocked-piled, then have your friends/family watch through zoom? Do your vows, wear your gown/suit, put on the rings. Make sure all the paperwork has been done, and either keep it for now to be properly filed, or send it over to the proper channels.<br />
<br />
2. What if you can have a friend/family member go online to be a registered officiator? Then do all the things we said in Number 1? <i>*Sidenote: If you are from the Philippines but engaged to an American citizen or other nationalities, maybe this is an option too. Maybe a Philippine wedding is not possible for now but a foreign one might do. You just have to keep the paperwork and eventually send it to the States or in other countries that allow for online officiator registrations.</i><br />
<br />
3. Maybe you are a Catholic and want a church wedding. Yes that's totally not possible now but perhaps you an do it civilly with the suggestions above. At least for now. <br />
<br />
4. You no longer have the funds to push through with the wedding but what if your deposits are no longer refundable? Are you just going to let that money go down the drain? Are you just going to raise the white flag and surrender? No. Maybe you can re-schedule the wedding and still do a scaled down version of your wedding once the lockdown ends. Find a common ground with your suppliers for a discounted rate for a scaled down wedding.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
<br />
If your venue does not allow for cancellations and you know that a percentage of your guests are no longer able to attend your wedding (ie. guests who are sick, old, abroad, etc.), then try to negotiate for a new rate for an intimate wedding. Then do a live stream of the wedding and send a link to guests who can no longer attend. <br />
<br />
If your wedding gown is halfway done or you already paid a portion of it but you can no longer pay for the balances, collaborate with your designer. Revise the style/materials used on your gown so that you only have to pay for what your new budget can accommodate. Perhaps go for a non-beaded gown? Or a knee-length dress? Perhaps you are thinking, "but that's now what I wanted." Yes we know. But we are talking about pushing through with the wedding despite the current climate. It's about adjusting on what can and cannot be done right now, w/o having to cancel the wedding rites all-together. <br />
<br />
If you can no longer pay for the balances for other aspects of the wedding ie. Styling, Flowers, Make-up, Photography, Video. etc., again try to meet halfway as to what they might be able to accommodate based on a scaled down wedding. Scale down on the styling/flowers. Negotiate with your make-up artist, photo, video if they can re-compute your rate to an elopement rate or a prenup rate since your wedding is going to be scaled down anyway. In your case, you are doing this because funds are tight. But on the supplier's side, it's better than zero work, zero income. It's a fair compromise. Try to find a common ground with your suppliers. Remember that they are also suffering financially. So you gotta help each other out, or else, the entire wedding industry will suffer and there might not even be suppliers to work with in the future. <br />
<br />
What if you only had the ceremony, and skip the reception? Seriously the essence of getting married is to have the wedding rites. So if you don't want to delay your marriage, you can just go for the ceremony for now, and celebrate after. That way, you still put your wedding coordinator and suppliers to work (you paid for their services anyway, so might as well push through with the important half of the wedding)<br />
<br />
5. What if you really would rather just wait for things to calm down and you don't want to get married at all. Hire a lawyer to go over all of your contracts and see what can be done in terms of refunds, cancellations, etc. Don't take the word of your hotel, caterer etc. Sometimes when the hotel simply says "NO," our tendency is to give-in. But what if you are protected by consumer rights? You never know unless you try. Or perhaps you can re-schedule 1 year, or 2 years from now and they can give you a voucher. But then again, that seems like a long time to wait for marriage though....so weigh your options on whether you really want to wait or just do it now with a scaled down wedding. <br />
<br />
Again, this is a brainstorming session. We are just throwing ideas out there, we don't know if they will work but at this point, why not try. All we are saying is, do not let the scary world get you. Cheesy as it sounds, LOVE MUST CONQUER ALL. Because if not, then what are we still living and fighting for? <br />
<br />
And on that note, we hope this also gives future couples some time to reflect. Never plan a wedding that is beyond your means. Wedding blogs, magazines, friends, family, will have an influence on how you plan a wedding. But if there's one thing we have learned during this virus, our reality can just be taken away in an instant. Weddings are going to be changed by this crisis in the few months and years to come. It's time to reflect on what's important during a wedding, and maybe take a deeper reflection if the "nice-to-have"/"frou frous" are still worth it. <br />

Don't get us wrong. There's nothing wrong with swan-shaped towels and red rose petals. We're sure some couples appreciate that. But we wanted to play around with the idea and who says there are rules when it comes to these things?<br />
<br />
Because BW Plus Ivywall Panglao had a honeymoon room with a direct pool access, we took the inspiration from there and thought of a vibe that spelled fun.<br />
<br />
When you've been planning a wedding for months and months, the stress can take a toll on any newlywed couple. We wanted the mood of a would-be honeymoon to feel celebratory, because it's time to drink that champagne and let lose. We wanted a dream-like sequence where the bride felt like she was starring in her own Katy Perry music video lol.<br />
<br />
We loved that designer Zandra Lim also thought of a twist. Instead of the usual hotel room robe, she created this glammed-up swimsuit top with a tulle train. It was absolutely sexy in a Beyonce-ish/pop star type of way. <br />
<br />
If you've taken the time to see our 3-part, Sun-Kissed Series, THANK YOU! We appreciate it to bits! We had so much fun creating these beach side editorials and we hope you enjoyed them too.<br />

We cannot put into words how excited and honored we are, to have had the opportunity to do this destination elopement collaboration. For one thing, we love beach weddings. We've always been partial to it, we have numerous clients who have hired us to conceptualize beach weddings for them, and to do a full-on beach editorial has been a long time fantasy. Of course, it is not that easy to execute a destination shoot so that's why when <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivywallpanglao/"><u><b>BW Ivywall in Panglao Bohol</b></u></a> gave us the creative freedom to do this beach elopement editorial, we could not resist and flew to the island in a heartbeat.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
One look at this editorial and our "OG" readers will know we are in our element here. An anti-white gown, a rebellious venue (not a lot of couples do a Bohol wedding, and even more rare is to have it right in front of Alona Beach), understated styling, oh we can go on and on. Let's get to it, shall we?<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why an Elopement and Why Bohol? </b></span><br />
<br />
There is nothing more absolutely romantic than an elopement. There's a reason why this concept has never lost its appeal, and there's a reason why some celebrities and other A-listers opt to have one--it has that "you and me against the world", passionate energy. It leaves out all the wedding prep noise, all the "frou frou" and it forces you to focus on just the two of you and nobody else. The "Elopement Concept" in recent years has also changed, it no longer has that negative connotation of keeping your love a secret. It has a lot more to do with keeping things private and authentic, and some millennial couples have re-defined it as simply wanting to use their wedding budget to travel, whilst doing an intimate ceremony away from home. Sometimes, couples even include a few key people during their elopement whether it's just their best friends or their parents.<br />
<br />
Once you have decided that maybe an elopement is right for you, the exciting part would be to figure out where to do it. When you think of a beach wedding/elopement, the initial mainstream locations include Hawaii, Maldives, Greece, and in the Philippines that would be Boracay. But why not expand your options and look at other unique islands as well?<br />

Bohol is an island province in the Central Visayas Region of the Philippines. What makes it unique from all the other 7,000++ islands of the country--and unique to other destinations in the world for that matter, is that Bohol is home to some of the most beautiful virgin beaches with the most bio diverse marine life. And on land, it is home to one of the natural wonders of the world, the Chocolate Hills and home to the smallest primates of the world, the tarsiers.<br />

We are quite familiar with Bohol because we have done a series of editorials here before--but we've never done one in Alona Beach. Alona Beach is probably the most popular white sand beach in all of Panglao Island Bohol. But even if it is popular, it is not as busy as some of the more mainstream destinations are, which makes it perfect for an elopement. We love that BW Ivywall Panglao, the hottest and newest resort in Bohol, is the one and only International resort that is actually located right smack in the center of Alona Beach so we got to do this elopement when it couldn't have been possible before.<br />

We loved the color story that Flora & Fern came-up with for this editorial. Grays, blacks, reds, wheat, golds, and old rose were used on the flowers, cake, ceremony arch, and even on the cutlery. It is one of those color stories that you wouldn't think would work on a beach, but it definitely did. The combination of Scandinavian design paired with Boho elements are also not something you think would work--but this combination was simply chic and stunning.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">RB Mica (The Makeup of Mica) has always been known for a more natural approach to bridal beauty. Her "barely-there" look for this elopement editorial made the entire story organic and authentic. We collaborated with designer Zandra Lim to come-up with a non-white bridal gown and she created this breathtaking dove gray off-shoulder piece in pure silk brocade. We particularly loved that the off-shouldered-dropped bell sleeves was accentuated with gray floral embroidery. It made the look so laid back, like you didn't try too hard, but then if you look at the gown details, they were really masterfully crafted. </span></span><b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think my most favorite part of this editorial is that we actually got to highlight things that are local to Bohol, even if it's not that obvious. For instance, the bouquet featured local red weeds that the dynamic duo from Flora & Fern, Jamie and Love, simply gathered from the side of the road. The ceremony styling showcased local bamboos that were assembled into this triangular teepee-like arch and we also used local banig (native floor mats)--and all these materials were gathered right there and there at Alona Beach. The food that BW Ivywall Panglao's restaurant Alon prepared, are all seafood concoctions highlighting a tropical island cuisine. It's really these micro, thoughtful details that made this elopement story even more unique than it already is. </span></span><br />

<br />
For this proposal idea, we thought of a <span style="color: purple;"><b>"Sunset Happy Hour Picnic"</b></span> because you want the proposal to be creative and special but you don't want it to be <b><i>too</i></b> obvious. A candlelit dinner in a fancy restaurant is a dead giveaway. Planning a casual beach trip is a lot more inconspicuous. And timing is everything. We are pretty sure that happy hour/sunset is not the usual time a girl would think their guy would propose, but a sunset view while you are being proposed to, is so breathtakingly dreamy. <br />
<br />
We collaborated with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivywallpanglao/"><u><b>BW Plus - The Ivwall Panglao</b></u></a> to execute our idea. They have the BEST sunset rooftop deck in all of Alona Beach. Most nice resorts in Bohol are not along Alona's beach front. So that alone made Ivywall's view extremely unique and priceless. We then worked with Flora & Fern to style the picnic. We wanted the picnic to look picture-perfect and different because couples don't usually have nice photos of their proposal, or when they do, they look all the same. The rooftop decor and the styling were fun, whimsical, and colorful. It came together and complemented the sunset colors so well. The result is an absolutely festive, non-cheesy, non-obvious proposal but it delivered on the drama, spectacle, and sweetness nonetheless.<br />

Our models, a staple in our blog, is real-life couple RB Mica and her husband Marc. Marc proposed to Mica almost exactly 9 years as of this writing. Marc laid out the most elaborate, but also the most inconspicuous proposal for Mica. Mica as some of you already know, has an award-winning creative background in the advertising world, so being creative was definitely on top of Marc's list. My husband and I on the other hand, had no proposal. We were two adults, having "The Talk" and decided it was time. All proposals are different and should fit what kind of couple you are. But if you want to do a surprise proposal, then we hope our editorial idea gives you a lot of inspiration. <br />
<br />
They say that the wedding planning is when the Bride truly shines and you just let her have her moment because she's probably daydreamed of her wedding most of her life. But the proposal, is when the Groom can have his moment to shine--to show his own creativity and make it fun and memorable for both him and his fiancee.<br />

I debated for a while if it was still relevant to create this blog post. In the advent of VLOGS/Youtube, I find it hard to believe that people still take the time to read blogs for travel tips. But I figured, I have so much info to share on this subject that it would be such a waste not to write it up. <br />
<br />
Morocco was the only country I had ever included in my vision board even before vision boards were a thing. I started visualizing Morocco in 2005 as my desktop wallpaper at work. When I became a fan of the book The Secret, this desktop wallpaper was replaced with my virtual vision board, which included Morocco, my dream wedding, dream home, etc. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Fast forward to 2019, and I’ve finally attracted Morocco to me. The long wait was primarily due to the lack of information and flight options in the past. Morocco was one of the most challenging places I have ever planned a trip to—and the only one so far that had costed us money in terms of wrong planning. So to those of you who are dreaming of a Moroccan honeymoon, anniversary, or engagement shoot, I hope that my itinerary, which has already been “corrected” based on our own mistakes, but also “perfected’ based on our successful adventures, can be of great use to you.<br />

<br />
<br />
But first things first. Why travel to Morocco for your honeymoon, anniversary, or engagement shoot?<br />
<br />
If you can answer YES to most of this, than I say Morocco is for you: <br />
<br />
Do you love a little adventure?<br />
Have you long fantasized going to the Sahara desert or starring in your own Aladdin moment for that matter? ;)<br />
Do you love learning new cultures and traditions?<br />
Does the “old world”/ancient civilization appeal to you?<br />
Do you love bargain hunting?<br />
Are you a foodie and open to eating everything and anything?<br />
Do you love patterns, textures, and an explosion of colors? <br />
Do you love exotic places and open to new things?<br />
<br />

<br />
<u>However if you answer YES to most of this instead, then Morocco is NOT for you:</u><br />
<br />
Do you prefer modern countries with skyscrapers and malls with branded shops?<br />
Do you prefer traveling w/o walking, climbing steps, etc? <br />
Do you prefer sticking to your preferred cuisine? <br />
Do you prefer subtle architecture, and the idea of endless pinks and patterns is already making you feel dizzy?<br />
Do you prefer places where you can show a little bit of skin? <br />
Are you easily bored or easily dizzy with long road trips? <br />
Do you prefer budget travel? <br />
<br />
If based on the questions above, it looks like Morocco could be your dream destination, then keep on reading. Morocco is a “wondrous place.” I’ve been traveling for more than 25+ years, and it has definitely jumped into my top 8 countries to visit. As for my husband, he even says that Morocco is in his TOP THREE! Wow, right? What do we love about Morocco? We loved that our trip defied a lot of misconceptions on what people think of what Morocco is. The Morocco we experienced for 10 days was colorful, the people were kind and generous, we discovered a wealthy country brimming with great food and rich traditions. It is so different from everywhere else that we have ever been to. <br />
<br />
I’ve come up with a 10-Day itinerary for your dream Morocco adventure. And at the end of this post, I’ll be sharing some useful DOs and DON’Ts, budgets, and airline options as well. <br />
<br />
Day 1 - Fly to Morocco via the city of Tangier. There is only one reason why this itinerary starts at Tangier and that is because this is the city with an airport that is closest to Chefchaouen. And Chefchaouen is a MUST visit because just look at this: <br />

More on Chefchaouen later. But first, a brief info on how to fly to Tangier.<br />

You can either get a connecting flight from Casablanca, or fly directly to Tangier via Spain. We made the mistake of booking a flight from Amsterdam which got cancelled and moved to a later date—this pretty much ruined our itinerary and we therefore lost the opportunity to go to Chefchaouen and this is probably because there were not enough people that fly from Amsterdam to Tangier. Again at the ending part of this blog I will go through flight options. <br />
<br />
<b>Day 1</b> is basically just resting in Tangier as traveling from Manila is going to be long and brutal.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 2</b> - You are going to check out of your Tangier hotel and be picked-up by your private tour, <b>Tarla Tours</b>. I highly recommend them and you can check my TripAdvisor Review for more details <b>(<a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com.ph/ShowUserReviews-g293732-d8728780-r726471486-Tarla_Tours-Casablanca_Grand_Casablanca_Region.html">CLICK HERE</a>)</b>. All you have to know for now is that your tour guide can “make or break” your entire Morocco experience. Partnering with the right driver and guide is CRUCIAL. So believe me when I say, that Tarla Tours is HIGHLY recommended.<br />

<br />
Chefchaouen is a MUST visit because the entire city is BLUE. it has a very unique look, perfect for photo shoot sessions and just taking in the beauty of Morocco. Just stay for lunch and a few hours, then you are off to FES. Stay the night in FES. In our original itinerary, we stayed in FES for 3 days, but for this itinerary, I don’t recommend staying in FES for that long. Stay at <b>RIAD FES</b>. Because just look at this:<br />

At this point, Tarla Tours will leave you in Marrakech. <br />
<br />
<b>Day 7 to 10 </b>- Stay in Marrakech to just relax and explore. Some people will not recommend staying long in Marrakech. But I disagree. Marrakech is a fun place where you can just linger, especially if you are on a honeymoon and want to enjoy a slow paced itinerary just taking-in the beauty of the Riads, the chaos of the Souks, the richness of the Food, and the interesting Culture. <i><br /></i><br />
First, I highly recommend that you stay at a fabulous, chic, Riad like Dar Darma or Ksar Kasbah which looks something like this:<i></i><br />

<b>F. Splurge on a Sunday Brunch at the Royal Mansour.</b><br />
<br />
This is highly recommended because the head chef at the Royal Mansour has a total of 6 Michelin Stars under his belt. It is the best buffet we have ever had...EVER. And this is probably the most "honeymoon-ish/anniversary-ish" activity you could do during the entire trip.<br />

<b>DOs and DONT’s </b><i><br /></i>1. Get a private, reliable tour and don’t ever skimp on this. I’ve done many, many research on road trips and tours around Morocco and one common mishap that I kept seeing in comments and reviews is that they did not enjoy Morocco because their driver was rude, or their driver couldn’t speak English, etc. This is a common issue if you are going to skimp on your tour. So as mentioned, get Tarla Tours and you won’t regret it. Tarla Tours is considered a “luxury private tour” but actually their prices are not bad because it is all-inclusive. Their rates include a driver, a guide, gas fuel, food for breakfast and dinner, customized tour, and accommodations. So you really can’t go wrong with that. <br />
<br />
2. Do not also skimp on your Riad. Get a high-end Riad with great reviews because it is chaotic in the streets of Marrakech and Fes. You need a sanctuary that is stress-free, and you need a place that provides great customer service and safety. You know how some people say, “I don’t want to spend on the hotel because we are just going to be out all the time anyways?” Well, in Morocco, particularly in Marrakech, that is not the case. You WILL end up spending a lot of time in the Riad because that’s just part of the lifestyle there. In fact, I’ve seen so many reviews from travelers that said, that the Riad they stayed at in Marrakech is the highlight of their entire trip. Another compelling reason to get a luxury Riad is that they usually have top notch customer service, helping you to navigate the labyrinth that is Marrakech. You can easily get lost in Marrakech. It’s a MAZE. A great Riad will usually assist you in every way that they can so you don’t get lost. If you stay at a cheap hotel or Riad, I guarantee you, you are on your own and you can get lost. Taxis are also not allowed to go inside the medina. Your taxi will likely drop you off in a street you are not familiar with and you’ll have to walk to your Riad. If your Riad is any good, you can contact them to come get you at wherever your taxi driver left you. <i><br /></i><br />

<i><br /></i>
3. There’s no need to get a city tour from a website like Viator, Klook, or AirBnB. The best way to find a reliable guide in Marrakech is to ask your Riad to arrange this for you. The Riads usually already work with trusted guides and the cost is even cheaper than getting one online. Best part is that if your Riad arranges your walking tour for you, the guide will pick you up from your Riad. Whereas if you get a tour online, they will instruct you to meet at a meeting point somewhere in the city and that means you could get lost, and you have to pay extra just to commute to that meeting point. <br />
<br />
<br />
4. If you are not keen on doing a road trip to the Desert and all the way to Marrakech, there are domestic flights that you can take BUT, and this is a big BUT. The domestic flight is prone to getting canceled and re-scheduled. So if you decide to take a domestic flight, make sure your dates are flexible enough to potentially get re-arranged. Our original flight to Errachidia got canceled, ruining our itinerary once again, just like it did at Chefchaouen and that’s how we ended up doing the road trip instead. The domestic flight is from FES to Errachidia via Air Arabia. Errachidia is the closest city to the Merzouga Desert. And then, when you are back from the Desert to FES, you can take another domestic flight from FES to Marrakech.<br />

<br />
5. DO NOT wear revealing clothes when you are out and about. Morocco is conservative and women are covered-up. When you are inside your Riad, you can wear whatever you want. But when you are outside, it is highly advised not to show skin. <br />
<br />
6. DO NOT take photos of locals, especially the women, without their permission. They find this very rude and disrespectful. Women are very private and also believe that by taking their photo, you are taking a piece of them without their consent. In connection to this, DO NOT take photos of storefronts, carpets, displays, artworks, and even snakes without the permission of the owner. If they say yes, go ahead and take photos but also be prepared to be charged with a tip. This never happened to us, but some travelers have had the experience of being asked for a tip. Which is fair if you think about it because you did not buy anything from their shop and yet you’ve “gained” something from it since you are likely to post that in your social media and they worked hard on their business.<br />

<br />
7. DO NOT haggle if you have no intentions of buying. This really upsets them because you have wasted their time and energy. If you decide not to buy something just say, no thank you, you are not buying. And stop haggling already. It would be preferable if you actually have a local guide with you as you navigate the souks. <br />
<br />
8. DO NOT plan a trip during their summer season because it is brutal. The temperature can go as high as 50C, and even 70C in the Sahara Desert. The best time to go is during Fall or if you can even tolerate the cold, you can go during Winter. So that would be anywhere between end of September to March.<br />
<br />

<br />
9. DO be open-minded when you are staying at a Riad. A Riad is an ancient home, converted into a boutique hotel. Most of them won’t have the usual hotel amenities like elevators, the hallways are narrow, and bathrooms, although clean and luxurious, will have historical features like small, stone carved sinks, small, stone carved showers, etc. Just be open-minded about it but I assure you, you are going to have a wonderful time. <br />
<br />
10. DO get a prepaid sim at the airport, or bring a pocket wifi. This is super important because as mentioned, you can get easily get lost in Marrakech and Fes. Coordination with your Riad or your guide is going to be a lifeline.<br />

<br />
<br />
Flight Options:<br />
For your international flights, you have the option of going through Doha, so that means flying via Qatar and the like. Or, if you prefer stopping over in Europe, then the best would be from Spain since this is the closest country to Morocco. You can either fly from Singapore Airlines, Qatar, Emirates, or Turkish Airlines. It’s entirely up to your preference. Also if you fly from Spain, there is a direct flight to Tangier whereas if you go through Doha, you will go through Casablanca and then have to take another domestic flight to Tangier. <br />
<br />
As for domestic flights, you can go for Air Arabia. It is actually a pretty good low cost airline. Much better than Cebu Pacific and Air Asia in terms of plane quality. But as mentioned, be prepared for canceled flights.<br />
<br />

<br />
Budget:<br />
<br />
Without including the International flight cost because airline preference is very subjective, be ready to spend roughly around $5,000-$6,000 for two pax for everything for 10 days. This includes domestic flights, food, shopping allowance, accommodations, tours, and basically everything except for the international flights. Note that Morocco is not a place I would recommend for cheap travel. In Morocco you really get what you pay for. If you go the budget route, it can get ugly very quickly. Morocco’s prices are very European. And the assumption here is that you are on your honeymoon/anniversary/engagement. So don’t skimp on that! <br />
<br />
As long as you follow the tips above, I don’t see any reason for you not to enjoy your Moroccan vacation. Trust me when I say, that this place is life-changing and you will immediately fall in love with it. Moroccans are some of the kindest people we have ever met whilst traveling. And we love their culture so much. And as I write this, I am transported to the Sahara Desert, African beats in the background, and eating Tajine with my husband and Moroccan friends.<br />

Book sales for the iconic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald peaked rapidly after the movie was released. A lot of fans of the novel and the movie share the sentiment: The extraordinary life of Jay Gatsby is a rendition of the decadent, excessive, and idealistic 1920s in the United States.
<p>
If you’ve loved the novel and the movie, you probably have a soft spot for the Roaring Twenties. And, if there’s one thing the movie taught us is that Jay Gatsby knew how to throw an exuberant party. A Great Gatsby inspired wedding theme is the perfect choice for someone who seeks luxurious playfulness for the big day. For the creative bride, a Roaring Twenties wedding theme offers a non-traditional celebration that brings a lot of fun without compromising on style. The lavish 1920s were exceedingly stylish with a unique freewheeling sense of spirit, making them the best era for a lavish, fashionable, and creative reception. Here are some tips to channel your inner Mr Gatsby and plan a 1920s wedding. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqI1L4E15IdAxN9go7tgLyJC6HJ18VftSIvWXK1UhHmUlUebz04GoL0tOVer9v0mTzvuvvlVsRNs99BYVcZ9FhdLH9etW9ZBU5YGuS1qixTXsO61m23JW1Na5kTDA7-phrJRqipW5EnE/s2048/marvin-meyer-VvKdB1FYNZs-unsplash.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="1016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqI1L4E15IdAxN9go7tgLyJC6HJ18VftSIvWXK1UhHmUlUebz04GoL0tOVer9v0mTzvuvvlVsRNs99BYVcZ9FhdLH9etW9ZBU5YGuS1qixTXsO61m23JW1Na5kTDA7-phrJRqipW5EnE/w1525-h1016/marvin-meyer-VvKdB1FYNZs-unsplash.jpg" width="1525" /></a></div>Credits: <b id="docs-internal-guid-2c72f267-7fff-cd4f-ca12-88b1c5239ec1" style="font-weight: normal;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/VvKdB1FYNZs" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Unsplash - CC0 License</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> </span></p></b><br /> <p></p><p>#1. Share the word with a glamorous invitation </p><p>Art Deco is a strong visual from the 1920s and 1930s that embraced modernism through sleek and anti-traditional elegance. Simple stylized shapes and streamlined geometry are some of the main characteristics of the Art Deco movement. It is an iconic symbol of the period, and it’s only fair to look around for artsy wedding invitations that encompass the clean lines and designs of that time. However, finding the right style for your Art Deco invitations can be tricky. Alternatively, you can find similar patterns on some <a href="https://www.magnetstreet.com/shop/vintage-wedding-invitations"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>vintage wedding invitations from MagnetStreet,</b></u></span></a> such as the Ritz & Romance design or the extravagant Ascot Chic model. When it comes to color palette, the Roaring Twenties preferred precious metallic shades, such as gold, along with cream, blush pink, and champagne. Black was also a frequent occurrence for contrast. </p>
<p>#2. Nail the 1920s look and feel </p><p>Opulence is the quintessential attitude to the 1920s fashion. If you have fallen in love with the flapper outfits and the golden dress in the movie, A Great Gatsby wedding theme allows you to wear your favorite silk gloves and glittery fascinators without feeling one little bit overdressed. If you’re going for a Roaring Twenties apparel, the best thing you can do is go all in and embrace every glamorous feature of the era, just as <a href="http://www.rebelliousbrides.com/2014/09/return-to-opulence-1920s-wedding.html"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>Kitty and Vince did for their beautiful wedding</b></u></span></a>. Finding the right wedding dress can be tricky at first. But you’ll have a better chance of discovering the perfect bridal gown on sites such as Etsy that has plenty of flapper designs at an affordable price. Alternatively, if you wish to wear a vintage dress, eBay is a great place to start. Some specialist wedding boutiques also provide a 1920s style for the bride and the groom. If your groom doesn’t know where to start: in the movie, Di Caprio is wearing the Brooks Brothers’ designs.
</p><p>
#3. The flapper hairstyle</p><p>Daisy Buchanan wears a variety of inspiring flapper hairstyles in the movie. If you want to embrace your inner flapper girl on the big day, your 1920s inspired hair can make a huge difference. Think of it as the indispensable accessory to your dress. For long hair, a <a href="https://www.allthingshair.com/en-uk/hairstyles-haircuts/vintage-hairstyles/flapper-hairstyles-long-hair/"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>glitzy headband can introduce a few 1920s styles</b></u></span></a> that are easy to reproduce and comfortable enough to wear for a long day. The key is to curl your hair and wrap it around the back of your headband for a smooth finish. The secret of the curly updo is to pick a quality hairspray to hold the hair in place. Short-haired ladies can embrace the playful Josephine Baker’s style, a single kiss curl coming onto the forehead or the cheek. Baker had a short, sleek hairstyle when she used the kiss curl to enhance her face. Another fantastic tip for a polished look is to dye your hair a pale shade of blush pink or champagne gold, especially if you’re using these colors as part of your wedding palette. Dark brown or black hair is also a good choice if you want a fresh dye. </p><p>
#4. Decadently delicious cakes </p><p>You can’t throw a wedding party without the iconic tiered cake. However, for a Great Gatsby wedding, you need to be smart about cake designs. Typically, you can reach out to specialist cake businesses to discuss your needs and ideas. The most common cake decorations for vintage-styles parties include luxurious golden hues and sleek black, for an Art Deco finish. If you prefer something a little more sophisticated, you can opt for a combination of blush fondant and edible pearls and feathers. Of course, you should serve champagne alongside. The 1920s, despite being at the heart of the Prohibition, loved a good glass of bubbly. Bonus points if you can order champagne rosé, which has a light blush hint that blends perfectly with your decor.
</p><p>
#5. A menu with the Great Gasby flavors </p><p>What kind of menu can you expect from a lavish 1920s wedding party? You have to be realistic. Small weddings can create a luxurious swinging menu that celebrates all the glitz and glamour of the era. Start the meal with a fresh minty gin & tonic that is a 1920s classic and the preferred pre-dinner drink. It brings your tasting buds to life, ensuring everyone can enjoy the food! Grilled oysters – or even Rockefeller oysters – make a wonderful warm appetizer. The main can be kept simple with a spiced glazed ham and vegetables. However, for large parties, it’s a good idea to replace the oyster appetizer with deviled eggs, which are more cost-effective and can be lavishly covered in vibrant glitter!

The unmissable Art Deco centerpiece </b><p></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-f56182e0-7fff-94af-0769-f7d44668aeed" style="font-weight: normal;">You can’t have a 1920s wedding without an Art Deco centerpiece. DIY enthusiasts can rejoice in the challenge. You can create your own centerpieces with fake pearls and feathers glued to an empty bottle. Add a decadent touch by spraying the bottle in gold paint. If you prefer some a little more unique, you can <a href="https://www.table-art.co.uk/art-deco-centrepiece/"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>order sleek Art Deco lighting</b></u></span></a> to be placed on your tables. An extravagant piece that brings the style of the era home.
</b></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-f56182e0-7fff-94af-0769-f7d44668aeed" style="font-weight: normal;">
#7. Surprise everyone with 1920s music </b></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-f56182e0-7fff-94af-0769-f7d44668aeed" style="font-weight: normal;">Does a Great Gatsby inspired wedding need 1920s music? The answer is yes, of course. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t mix styles and play modern songs too. But you want to have some tunes that bring the <a href="https://www.cariloop.com/blast-from-past-top-10-songs-movies-1920s/"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>sound of the Roaring Twenties</b></u></span></a>. In short, you want Jazz, which symbolizes the spirit of liberation and modernism of the era. Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, and Bessie Smith are some of the unmissable names you want to have on your playlist. If you’re going for a kiss curl hairstyle, make sure to add Josephine Baker to the mix too. If you prefer an instrumental background, the music from the Gold Rush (1925, silent movie by Chaplin) is an excellent choice.
</b></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-f56182e0-7fff-94af-0769-f7d44668aeed" style="font-weight: normal;">
#8. What’s the best venue?
While there are still some Art Deco venues around, more and more have been replaced by modern buildings and decors. If you live in a place such as New York City or Los Angeles, both famous for their Art Deco scenes, you won’t have any difficulties finding a beautiful wedding venue that matches your theme. However, don’t sweat it too much. For a 1920s wedding, you can be creative with high ceilinged reception areas and luxurious decor. A lot of hotels have the right look and feel for the era, even though they have been built later. It’s easier to pick a roomy and neutral venue that can be made to look like out of the Great Gatsby with the right palette color and decoration than to find an original 1920s place!
</b></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-f56182e0-7fff-94af-0769-f7d44668aeed" style="font-weight: normal;">
#9. To quote or not to quote?
Should you quote the Great Gatsby during the reception? A lot of couples choose to mention the novel by one of its most famous quotes:
</b></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-f56182e0-7fff-94af-0769-f7d44668aeed" style="font-weight: normal;">
You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known – and even that is an understatement.
</b></p><p><b id="docs-internal-guid-f56182e0-7fff-94af-0769-f7d44668aeed" style="font-weight: normal;">
It’s a sweet addition that brings the theme a little further and fits the mood too. You can opt for a subtle approach by using characters from the book in your seat plans, such as Nick Carraway’s table and Daisy Buchanan’s corner.

Vintage cars for the win
A classic car is a wonderful addition to your wedding plan. The 1920s Rolls Royce Phantom Limousine is an iconic model for the era, and you’ll be able to find a classic car for hire reasonably easily. These models were hugely popular and are still available for special events. The 1920 Nash Touring is another great choice as it’s a convertible vehicle; perfect for photos! For something quirky, you can also consider a 1921 Oldsmobile 43A Series Touring, which is guaranteed to be a stylish background for your couple photo.
</p><p>
A Great Gatsby wedding brings an element of glamorous exuberance that is iconic of the era. For couples who want a stylish party with a hint of luxury and playfulness, the Roaring Twenties offer the perfect theme: Free-spirited music, liberating fashion, decadent glitter, and delicious bubbly. It’s hard to find anything to complain about, and that’s what makes a 1920s theme such a fantastic choice!

It’s a big day, a day of commitment and happiness and love - and we need more of that in life. The problem is that sometimes, you want to <a href="http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=7288208307&blog=9088517&group=0&frame=1&frame_type=blog_profile&feed_order=undefined&context=&context_ids=&click=0&user=0"><u><span style="color: #800180;"><b>go a little out of the ordinary</b></span></u></a> for your wedding day and it doesn't always sit well with everyone in your life! There is nothing wrong with being a little unique with your wedding plan; this is YOUR day, right? </p><p> There are so many details that you have to consider with your wedding. You have to pick the rings, and choose the flowers and settle on a colour theme - there are a lot of details. One that you shouldn't forget, is how you plan to get there. Your wedding can be prettily planned out on paper but if you have no plan as to how you want to get to the church or the venue for the reception, you’re going to have a lot of dressy people with no place to go. So, let’s check out some of the best ways you can plan to get to your big moment! </p><div style="text-align: center;"><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlVY10mChLex4PGHZDaC_bjGyp3sgHJdtRODGYMq18TqZetL7XxO6LTA5IL2F_yYjZnnGKE0lWFN-Fld2mzwXMiPOUF2T2cERw8BUc11KjBOoVyQyaYbBtwEIwjgHp4ctpo-gWe_mRgk/s2048/pexels-photo-636012.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="4979" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKlVY10mChLex4PGHZDaC_bjGyp3sgHJdtRODGYMq18TqZetL7XxO6LTA5IL2F_yYjZnnGKE0lWFN-Fld2mzwXMiPOUF2T2cERw8BUc11KjBOoVyQyaYbBtwEIwjgHp4ctpo-gWe_mRgk/w7458-h4979/pexels-photo-636012.jpeg" width="7458" /></a></div><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/two-man-on-a-carriage-with-horse-636012/"> Photo Credits: Pexels</a><br /><p></p>
<p>
Cycle. </p><p>It probably never occurred to you to bike to your wedding day, but if you’re a vintage bride, a vintage bicycle is the way to go. You can use a beautifully decorated bicycle as part of your wedding pictures, and if you want to be truly cutesy, why not go for a tandem bicycle? You and your new husband can cycle to your venue from the church and have a really fun time doing it. Just to say, this is far better for those with short wedding dresses instead of long ones!
<br /></p><p>Walk.</p>
Pop on a pair of<a href="https://www.converse.com/shop/wedding-shoes"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b> bridal Converse</b></u></span></a> or other trainers and walk your way to your venue. This is all going to be dependent on the weather conditions and whether your walk is picturesque or whether it's along a highway. Don't walk where there are muddy puddles, either. Get your photographer to go with you and they can snap some candids of you and your bridesmaids out for a stroll! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><p> Bus.</p>
You might love the idea of a vintage wedding bus. They’re a fun way to arrive, and they’re an even more fun way to get all the guests to the wedding meal. You can all arrive together, and you can decorate the bus, too! <p>
Car. </p><p>The traditional ways never die, especially when you have companies like <a href="https://www.perthclassiccharters.com.au/"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>https://www.perthclassiccharters.com.au/ </b></u></span></a></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqyPWo73maA8SMsNnMevBGAxgtFrvETM5dFkhxWbZmF-BMu3VlG4hzZuRAZgJCygQw-qZgiuB5D8KR47KTu1eJ_y-B0JI61gBYG8W58lPmTuBrd6ciT4PyvTfis8op0ytrIPX_GvUlV28/s1570/perthclassiccharters-jpeg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1002" data-original-width="1570" height="638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqyPWo73maA8SMsNnMevBGAxgtFrvETM5dFkhxWbZmF-BMu3VlG4hzZuRAZgJCygQw-qZgiuB5D8KR47KTu1eJ_y-B0JI61gBYG8W58lPmTuBrd6ciT4PyvTfis8op0ytrIPX_GvUlV28/w1000-h638/perthclassiccharters-jpeg.jpg" width="1000" /></a><p></p><p></p><p>by your side to help. Vintage cars and even the more modern ones are a fun way to arrive together with your wedding party at your venue and the church. Think of the season in which your wedding is going to be held, and choose a car to match. Sporty, top-down cars are great for summer photos, but may not be good for your updo!</p><p>
Carriage. </p><p>Are you a princess bride? If so, you’ll love the Cinderella fairytale of a horse-drawn carriage. You can hire one to have an enclosed carriage, too, and that will really embody that fairytale vision in your head.</p><p>
Chopper. </p><p>
The brave and the bold will love to <a href="https://www.bumblebeecharters.co.uk/romance/arrive-in-style-fly-by-helicopter/"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>arrive at the wedding by helicopter</b></u></span></a>, and you can, too. It’s the chicest way to make a wedding entrance, but it’s a pain if you have a big wedding dress.
</p><p>
Rickshaw.
</p><p>
If you’ve ever seen those motorised tuk-tuks while you’re abroad, why not choose a rickshaw to take you to your wedding venue? You will literally turn heads on your wedding day, and isn’t that what it’s all about? You need to have your wedding stand out from the crowd, and this is one way to do it! </p><p>Boat. </p><p>If you are tying the knot abroad, why not use a watery vessel to get you from your villa to your wedding ceremony? It’s a cute way to do something a little different on the day, and if your family flies out to see you they’ll be able to watch your smooth entrance, too! </p><p>Sleepover. </p><p>For a fast entrance and a country house or hotel venue, you could sleepover and simply make your way downstairs the morning of your wedding! It’s a quick way to get there, and you can guarantee you’ll never be late! </p><p>There are many other ways that you can go to your wedding, but these are the world favourites that everyone looks into before they make their vows. Choose yours, and don’t forget to book it in advance.

Especially when it comes to their appearance. They’re acutely aware that all eyes in the room will be on them, and that their image will adorn not just their own wedding snaps but the ones that their friends and relatives will take home with them, share online and look over for years to come. As such, they want to walk down the aisle as the very best version of themselves. Every bride wants to assemble <a href="http://www.rebelliousbrides.com/search/label/rbfashion"><span style="color: purple;"><b>a look </b></span></a>that is both becoming of the occasion and true to who she is as a person. She wants to feel beautiful and perhaps more importantly she wants to feel like herself.<br />

The right glasses can complete an outfit. But let’s be honest, none of us wears them as a fashion statement. We wear glasses because we need to improve our vision. And whether they subtly enhance your vision or you’re practically Velma-level blind without them, you want to be able to capture every single detail of your big day in your memory. You want to be able to see everything from the subtle swirls in your cake to the intricate beauty of the flowers in your bridal bouquet. You’ll want to capture and savour everything, because <a href="https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-day-mantras-for-every-couple"><span style="color: purple;"><b>the day will go by in a flash! </b></span></a><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It’s a great excuse to go shopping! </b><br />
<br />
Of course, every wedding has a budget. But you deserve to spoil yourself with a brand new pair of gorgeous glasses that will complement your bridal aesthetic. Some stylish and elegant <a href="https://www.eyeglasses.com/eyeglasses/brand/tom-ford.html"><span style="color: purple;"><b><span style="color: purple;">Tom Ford glasses</span></b></span></a> might be just the little detail that your bridal ensemble was missing. And the great thing is that, unlike your other accoutrements, you’ll be able to keep on wearing them long after you’ve said your “I do”s.<br />
<br />
<b>Feel comfortable </b><br />
<br />
Every bride wants to look beautiful. But your big day is a lot to put your body through. All that standing, sitting, dancing, hugging, kissing, eating, drinking and being photographed so many times you’ll feel like a Hollywood starlet on a nudist beach is a lot to go through in one day. As such, you’ll want to make sure you feel comfortable on your wedding day. And that goes beyond finding <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-heels-shopping-tips"><span style="color: purple;"><b>the perfect pair of shoes.</b></span></a> Going without your glasses all day can cause eye strain which can lead to headaches and fatigue. Hardly the perfect bridal accessories.
<br />
<br />
<b>Look like you </b><br />
<br />
Finally, if everyone in your circle knows (and loves) you in your glasses, you may not really look or feel like yourself without them. They’ve become a part of who you are. Wear them with pride on your beautiful face!<br />

<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><br />
We know that everyone deserves to have the wedding of their dreams. When you think about it, it’s one of the only times in life where you feel as though you’re going to be the only one being looked at. Well, you and your partner, but as the bride, we know that it’s mainly going to be all eyes on us. Depending on how much you like the attention, you’ll probably worry at the thought. If you were the one who would never go to the front of the class to present because you didn’t like everyone watching you, then the thought of a wedding might be enough to scare you off having one altogether. But you have to remember everyone who is there wants to be there to celebrate you. Unlike presenting a presentation in high school, everyone is looking at you because they’re generally interested in your day and how it’s all going to play out. Now, you’re most likely going to want it to play out better than average, and so are your guests. That’s why we’ve come up with this fabulous post full of a few ideas that we know will create a better than the average <a href="http://www.rebelliousbrides.com/2020/01/sun-kissed-series-elopement.html"><u><b>wedding</b></u></a>. Keep on reading to find out more.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<u><b>Put The Attention On Everyone Else
</b></u><br />
<br />
If you’re one of the people who doesn’t like the attention to be on them, then you’re going to have to grin and bear it through a few moments during the wedding. You’ve got the whole walking down the aisle and saying your vows. Then there’s the speech that you’ll have to do at the top table. Then there are all of the pictures that you’re going to have to have outside, and then there’s the first dance. Other than those times, you can make it so that the attention is on everyone else. The last thing you want to do is leave it so that people are hanging around with <a href="https://bridalmusings.com/112984/is-it-possible-to-keep-all-your-wedding-guests-happy/"><u><b>nothing to do</b></u></a>, so make sure you fill the time with something fun. You could have a magician going around whilst everyone is waiting for the wedding breakfast. You could have performers going around doing acrobatics and anything else they have the talent to do. You could also ask that your photographer take photos of everyone else so that everyone feels like they’re having their own photoshoot. It’s a nice idea to send out thank you for attending cards filled with the photos they have managed to take. As long as you can always keep everyone occupied, you’re onto a winner.<br />
<br />
<u><b>The Small Details That Matter</b></u><br />
<br />
Now onto the small details that mean it’s going to be a special time for you. Speaking of photographers, you need to find one that’s going to be able to capture you in the best light and make sure that every single photo that’s taken is one to go in the memory book. <b> </b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><a href="https://ethiopia.christopheweddingphoto.com/">Christophe Viseux Photography</a></b> is just one person you could consider using. You have to love the work that they have previously done, so always make sure you’re checking out their portfolio before selecting the photographer of your choice. There are smaller details that matter, such as whether you’re going to allow children to come or not. Either way, it’s going to cause problems. If parents can’t bring children they might leave early. If they can, they still might leave early because the kids are playing up. That’s why it’s essential to keep them entertained. One idea we love is having a sort of kids daycare in one of the rooms in your location. You could hire a nanny or two for the night to run the room. Kids can play, eat, sleep, and do whatever they need to do to keep the parents there and your wedding going on for longer. There’s nothing worse than a wedding that finishes early because everyone has left.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Midnight Fun </b></u><br />
<br />
If you can keep the party going until midnight, then you’ve already done well. We’d recommend starting your wedding just before the evening. An early wedding is always going to result in an early finish, and if you want this to be one big celebration then you might be a bit disheartened. So when it does come to midnight, we’d recommend some midnight fun. Perhaps a performance from a group, or silly games that get people howling with laughter. Or you could have a midnight buffet for all of the people who have drunk too much and probably need to start heading home.

It's 2020 and we wanted to take you on a dreamy beach fantasy!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>In the blog, beach weddings are one of, if not 'the' most popular topic that we just love to feature time and time again. For some of our "OG" readers, you'd know that RB Kai had a beach wedding and so this topic has always been near and dear to our rebel hearts. And to those who also know that we do wedding consultancy via our Wedding Agency service, majority of our previous clients that have hired us in the past were beach brides and grooms.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So when <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivywallpanglao/"><b>BW Plus The Ivywall Panglao</b></a>--the hottest and newest beach front resort in Alona Beach wanted to collaborate with us, we were simply beyond giddy. </span><br />
<br />
Since we were flying all the way to Bohol for this collab, we wanted to create not one but three stories for this editorial and thought of a Proposal, Elopement, and Honeymoon shoot, which we call the Sun-kissed Series. Here's a teaser:<br />
<br />

So if you happen to be planning (or know someone planning) a proposal, elopement, or honeymoon getaway soon, watch out for the 3-part series happening pretty much in the next few days.<br />

With all the planning and preparation it takes to plan a wedding, it can be easy to forget about life after the wedding. In the following weeks and even months following the big day, it may be all you can think about.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>It’s natural to want to hold onto that post-wedding high for as long as you possibly can, but six months and even a year later, there’ll still be that box of wedding decorations taking up room in your hallway.<br />
<br />
As well as all the practicalities of thinking about the great clear up after the wedding, there’s also the need to think of life after the wedding for the next few years. Will one of you have to move to your new spouse’s town? What about if you change your name?<br />
<br />
Here are some of the things you’ll need to think about after the wedding in the first few months of marriage.<br />
<br />

<b>Create a Keepsake Box of Wedding Items </b><br />
<br />
You’ll want to remember the best day of your life for years to come, but photographs on social media can only do so much.
Sure, you’ll have framed pictures around the house, but try to get some more candid pictures printed.<br />
<br />
Keep yours and your spouse’s place name settings and a couple of wedding favors, as well as some of the smaller decorations from the day.
Some brides also opt to have their bouquets dried so they have a lifelong memory.<br />
<br />
Having a keepsake box is a wonderful way of minimizing clutter while still holding on to happy memories of your big day.<br />
<br />
<b>Make Plans to Move Into The Marital Home</b><br />
<br />
Many modern couples will have already lived together prior to marriage as a ‘trial period’ to see if they can go the distance of the rest of their lives together. Other couples don’t, so moving in together can be a big milestone after saying ‘I do’.<br />
<br />
You’re likely to have already found the home you’re going to live in together, but making plans to move into the home can be a hassle in itself.<br />
<br />
A quick online search can point you toward moving companies such as <a href="https://www.mybekins.com/locations/portsmouth-va-movers/"><u><b>Mybekins.com</b></u></a>, who can offer you a complete moving solution while removing some of the headache that comes with moving house.<br />
<br />
<b>Send Out Thank You Notes</b><br />
<br />
If you choose to have a wedding gift register that guests were aware of, soon after the wedding is a good time to send out the ‘thank yous’ for items that you have received.<br />
<br />
Maybe your mom helped with some of the catering, or your dad organized some of the entertainment- make sure they get included, too.<br />
<br />
Thank you notes are an inexpensive way of letting people know that you were thinking of them and that you were grateful for the contribution they made to your special day.<br />
<br />
If you’ve also moved- make sure you include your new address so loved ones can pop by.<br />
<br />
Planning for the best day of your life is also about planning for your happy future.<br />

<b>Wind-Proof your Hair </b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>It’s so important that you talk to your hairstylist about any concerns that you might have. When you do, they can then offer you some great tips and suggestions that might suit your hair type and even your personal preferences. If the hairstyle that you want is just not going to hold up if it rains then it may be a good idea for you to have a back-up option just in case. This may require a trial-run, but it could save your day.<br />

<br />
Reception Dress<br />
<br />
If you know that you are planning on having a wedding in summer or even in late spring, then there’s a chance that the weather’s going to be warm. You would be surprised at how hot a wedding dress can feel when you are on the dance floor too, and the last thing that you want is to feel too overheated to get up out of your chair. If you want to get around this then you need to plan something much shorter and lighter for the last few hours. You will feel way better as a result and you may even find that you feel much more at ease at the same time.<br />
<br />
Avoid Stilettos<br />
<br />
If a large portion of your wedding day is taking place on any kind of soft surface, such as grass, you have to make sure that you avoid <b><a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-heels-shopping-tips">high heels</a></b> or stilettos. If you do, then you will easily be able to walk much better and you won’t sink into the ground with every step that you take. It’s very possible for you to buy some nice wedges and when you do, you can feel confident knowing that you can easily have the best time while looking and feeling your best.<br />
<br />
Focus on Your Backup Plan<br />
<br />
Another thing that you need to do is fall in love with your Plan B. Come up with a few things that you love about your backup option and remind yourself of them if you do find yourself in a sticky situation. Ideally you need to put as much effort into your backup plan as you do your main ideas. This will help you to really feel confident that even if something does go wrong, you’ll still be covered.<br />
<br />

<br />
Use your Website<br />
<br />
A lot of people create a <a href="http://www.rebelliousbrides.com/2019/11/how-to-decide-on-theme-for-non.html"><u><b>wedding website</b></u></a> as it helps them to post a lot of information at any one time. You can have a one-page site that contains your menu and even the dress code if you want. When you do this, you will then be able to inform your guests and you may even be able to accept their RSVPs online too. This makes everything way easier and it also gives them the chance to post comments or ask questions. Any last-minute changes can also be added to your site if you want. This is ideal if you are concerned about the weather or if you need to tell them about a diversion on the roads.<br />
<br />
Rain Policy<br />
<br />
Another thing that you should do is check the contract so you can find out if you are allowed to have any rental items set up on the grounds. If the ground is wet, or if there is a threat of rain then this might affect your entire day, and this is the last thing that you need. One way for you to get around this would be for you to have an indoor venue planned as this will help you to still have the best day without being too reliant on the weather.<br />
<br />
Bugs<br />
<br />
If you are having your wedding in the middle of summer then you should note that bugs are rife around this time. It’s highly recommended that you invest in some quality citronella candles. You can also have some torches too. When you do, you will soon find that the bugs are kept away with ease and that you don’t have to worry about a thing.<br />
<br />
Microphones<br />
<br />
Unless you are having a very intimate group then you may find that it’s hard for your guests to hear you right at the back. This is especially the case if you have no walls at all, as they can provide you with some acoustics. A simple sound system is very easy to install and most of the time you may find that your venue can provide you with one if you are willing to pay the price.<br />

<br />
Keep Your Guests Comfortable<br />
<br />
Your guests are going to be seated for a very extended period of time. For this reason, it’s nice to give them some protection from the sun or any uncomfortable elements. Parasols are ideal if you want to keep them shaded and you may even find that you need to hand out some chilled water and hand fans too. Don’t forget about the person who is going to be holding your <a href="https://charlesrose.com.au/"><u><b>wedding rings</b></u></a> either.
<br />
<br />
Packaged Towelettes<br />
<br />
It’s always very smart for you to have lots of sunscreen and even insect repellent for your guests. The problem is that most of these options can get very messy and when they do, you may find that they get over their nice outfits too. One way for you to get around this would be for you to invest in some pre-packaged towelettes. This means that the product can be wiped on, and there is no worry about the lotion getting everywhere.<br />
<br />
Long Distance<br />
<br />
If your guests are going to have to walk a long way between the ceremony site and reception space, then you may want to invest in some transportation. When you do, you will soon find that you are able to provide them with some assurance. Golf cart-style options are ideal here because they are quick and easy for guests to jump on and off.

If you don’t want a boring wedding and you want to do something different, the theme is so important because it will dictate so many of the other details about your big day. A lot of people think that they just decide on a theme and everything else comes after, but that’s not the way to do it. It’s important that you choose a theme that you like, but you also have to make sure that all of the other details fit with the theme, especially if it’s a bit out of the ordinary. So you have to think about that while you are making your decision. These are the things that you need to consider when deciding on a theme for a non-traditional wedding.

<b>The Venue</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Picking a venue is one of the first things that you will do, and it’s important that you think about the potential themes for the wedding because the venue makes a big difference. You can either pick the theme and then choose a venue to suit it, or pick the venue and decide on a theme that works well. Whichever way around you decide to do it, you can’t think about one without thinking about the other. If you are not interested in the traditional fairytale wedding theme, which is a bit boring to be honest, then a lot of classic wedding venues won’t really work for you. They’re all set up for that kind of wedding and it can be hard to introduce a more interesting theme in a venue that is very traditional. Equally, if you decide on a <b><a href="http://www.rebelliousbrides.com/2013/05/weddings-at-sonyas-garden.html">garden wedding</a></b> instead of a traditional wedding reception, for example, you need to start thinking about a theme that fits well with that location. <br />
<br />
<b>The Dresses </b><br />
<br />
If you are throwing convention out of the window and planning a wedding that suits you rather than simply following the traditions, you may decide to go a different route with your dress. You can still go for a classic white wedding dress if you like, but if you want a non-traditional wedding and you don’t like the idea of a white dress, you can just pick something else. But if you are going to do that, you should consider how it fits in with your theme. Often, it’s best to come up with a theme first and then decide on a style of dress that fits with it. For example, if you are going for a 1950’s style wedding, you have plenty of options for vintage dresses. As well as your own dress, it’s important that you think about the <b><a href="https://www.theiconic.com.au/womens-clothing-dresses-bridesmaid-dresses/">bridesmaid dresses</a></b> as well, so you all fit well with the theme. If you have a clear idea of what kind of dress you want, it may be best to choose the dress first and then start thinking of a theme based around that.
<br />
<br />
<b>Your Budget </b><br />
<br />
Nobody wants to think about the budget when they’re planning their wedding, they just want to plan the perfect day and not worry about whether they can afford it or not. Unfortunately, you can’t really avoid it and you will need to <b><a href="https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-budget-ways-to-save-money">write a budget </a></b>for your wedding and stick to it if you don’t want to end up in financial trouble. You need to keep the budget in mind when you are deciding on your theme because you would be surprised how expensive all of the small details like decorations or place cards can get. If you are leaning heavily into your theme and putting a lot of thought into the decoration, the costs are quickly going to spiral out of control. Before you get too attached to a theme, think honestly about whether you can actually afford to do it or not.<br />
<br />
<b> Your Relationship </b><br />
<br />
The most important thing that you should think about when trying to decide on a theme is your relationship. The best alternative wedding themes are built around things that are special to the couple, so think about your relationship and the things that are important to you both. It could be a hobby that you share or a place that you both love to visit, perhaps somewhere that has special memories for both of you. It doesn’t matter what your theme is, as long as it means something to you.
If you consider all of these things, you will be able to decide on the perfect theme for your non-traditional wedding.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b>When you have more than eighteen talented teams joining forces to create a wedding editorial, you know that the end result is going to be something truly phenomenal. VV Raven conceptualized this wedding idea filled with so much depth, texture, and character. It has definitely tickled our rebellious hearts. We've got a full set to get to, so we are just going to let the work and story speak for itself. Enjoy! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Some words about the shoot</b> <b>by Jo Thorndike, VV Raven.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>The shoot's aim was to showcase our style and brand.
We also wanted to reflect my passion to work with other British,
sustainable, small businesses by collaborating with over 18 others.
The beauty of the farm setting blew me away and we passionately felt the
need to fulfill our vision for the space, luckily the owner of Lodge Farm
Barns, Bryony, was sympathetic to this!
We love to mix fresh and faux florals and used this shoot to show the
advantage to using them together and how indistinguishable from each other
that they can be.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What were the influences?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>We were influenced by the romance of The Barns at Lodge Farm and the current
state of dilapidation of some of the buildings.
We are enthralled by Paganism and its close connection to Mother Nature and
we wanted to use the atmospheric outbuildings to create a wedding photoshoot
with a twist - and so the Urban Pagan theme was born!
In harmony with a desire to promote British flowers and sustainability and
with the location being a working arable farm we chose to create a series of
shoots called Celebration of the Seasons- beginning with this shoot, Spring.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Where was it shot and why? </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b>The Barns at Lodge Farm is a new wedding and events venue where several
barns are currently being renovated, and we wanted to document their
dereliction and history/romance before they are refurbished.
Sustainability is a key factor in both the way the land is managed as a
working arable farm, and also in the way the barns are being developed in a
manner which is as sensitive to the environment as possible.
The ethos of the venue fit perfectly with the key influences for the shoot,
and the changing landscape of the fields throughout the year are an idyllic
backdrop for the Celebration of the Seasons.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><b>You think of spring, and soft pale blues, greens and whites - but what if
you are far more inclined towards the dark, heady green mosses of spring,
and deep purples of woodland flowers. I am fascinated about the contrast
between the two and wanted to show two different ways that this can be
styled.</b></span><br />

Whether you choose to plan this ourself or you hand over all the details to your bridesmaids, you still want to make sure everything is perfect and everyone remembers your hen party for all the right reasons.<br />
<br />
But what is the best way to plan a hen party to make sure everything runs smoothly and the bride gets to celebrate her night, or even weekend in style without any hiccups? The devil is in the details as they say and planning a spectacular hen party needs heavy focus on all the details!<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: large;">Invites. </span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The step in planning a hen party is to know exactly what numbers you are working with. Create a list of of the whole party and then get everyone together either physically or via a group chat and pin down exact numbers. Once you know the size of the group you can then start making plans on how and where you will be celebrating.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Budget. </span></b><br />
Discuss with the rest of the party their <a href="http://www.rebelliousbrides.com/2018/06/cant-buy-love-how-to-make-your-wedding.html"><b>budget limits</b></a>. Everyone has different financial circumstances so knowing upfront what everyone's limit is will make choosing your hen party destinations and/or activities a lot easier. Decide if the bride will be contributing or if you will be splitting the cost between everyone in the group.
Whilst lower budgets can be limiting in terms of the length of the hen party, bigger groups can pull larger discounts making different ideas much more affordable.
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Location and Activities. </b></span><br />
No longer is a hen do relegated to one night out, the choices are endless. So get your girls together and see if you can come up with the perfect send-off for your bride! From taking in a west end show - make sure to book your <a href="https://www.todaytix.com/x/london/shows"><b>London theatre tickets</b></a> in advance so you're not disappointed on the day, to taking a mini holiday in the sun or even a weekend break at a spa retreat.
Research accommodation, travel expenses and make sure you factor in extra costs, such as spending money and any extras before you commit to booking anything. This way everyone is on board and aware of how much money they will need whether this figure covers all costs completely or if they will need any additional funds for spending money too.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Accessories. </b></span><br />
It isn't a hen party without some fabulous bride to be and <a href="https://www.henpartysuperstore.co.uk/hen-party-accessories-c1/hen-night-accessories-c8"><b>hen party accessories</b></a>. So make sure to choose a theme and then buy all your decorations and accessories for the whole party to give it that little something extra. From sashes to party games, badges, bunting, balloons and more, make it a celebration to remember and give the bride the send-off to end all send-offs!
However you choose to celebrate, whether you stick to a budget and keep things low key, or you go all out with no expense spared, don’t forget to keep the focus on the bride and make sure she enjoys every single second.

If you’re planning a wedding, the last thing you want to do is make it undecipherable from every other wedding your guests have been to in the past. The fact is, weddings can be very samey unless you make an effort to have your stand out. Below, you’ll find some planning ideas that will make your big day ‘not just another wedding’!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Make Your Wedding Transportation Turn Heads
How you start the day is going to really set the tone, so make sure your wedding transportation turns heads. You could show up in hot air balloons if you fancy being super extravagant, or you could step off canal boats if your wedding is near a body of water. Get creative and get people talking!<br />
<br />
Give Thoughtful Wedding Gifts<br />
Give <b><a href="https://www.moneycrashers.com/unique-wedding-gift-ideas-cheap-budget/">thoughtful wedding gifts</a></b> to your guests - gifts they will actually use. Forget those sugared almonds. Pashminas will help to keep them warm if you’re having a wedding during the cooler months, and flip flops could be the perfect gift for ladies who want to take off their shoes towards the end of the night. Hangover helpers are always welcome, too, so you could put a pack together filled with things like vitamins and paracetamol!<br />
<br />
Have A Memorable Guest Book<br />
Get creative with your guest book and have people write on the back of a jigsaw piece - or do something else that seems fun to you. You don’t just have to have a plain old book if that’s not your style. Plus, you could display whatever you choose in your home afterwards.
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVs2Jrc1sCGHLOkhvxZJbSrG2wTGdaQdJdYAUWJOFDu2B9R_K7Ysactn0gm2rsWUf2p__mKD1Pl13Ixu2reekjyqRqrbBN8UIb4u7yBNuq-0O-y6VTq0UEnKJzfli9JHN1qKo7YNlmsQY/s1600/bride-bride-and-groom-celebration-1770964.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVs2Jrc1sCGHLOkhvxZJbSrG2wTGdaQdJdYAUWJOFDu2B9R_K7Ysactn0gm2rsWUf2p__mKD1Pl13Ixu2reekjyqRqrbBN8UIb4u7yBNuq-0O-y6VTq0UEnKJzfli9JHN1qKo7YNlmsQY/s1600/bride-bride-and-groom-celebration-1770964.jpg" /></a></div>
<b> <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-and-woman-walking-1770964/">source</a></b><br />
<br />
Hire A Video Booth<br />
Lots of weddings have photo booths - this isn't exactly an original idea. However, you could put a twist on this by going for a confessional video booth. Get guests to record a message for you and then put the best ones into your wedding video. You can put the rest on your wedding website afterwards and encourage guests to check them out! This is bound to male them smile long after the wedding is over.<br />
<br />
Choose Your Photographer Carefully<br />
The photographer is the person who is going to capture your wedding day in their own unique way - so it should be a style you’re not going to tire of looking at. The pictures are the longest lasting wedding momento, so choose carefully! Check out unique photographers, such as <b><a href="https://www.brycenoone.com/">Bryce Noone Wedding Photography</a></b> to get a feel for the sort of pictures you want. Remember that each photographer has a different style.<br />
<br />
Surprise Everyone With A Choreographed Dance<br />
Surprise everyone with a <a href="https://www.entertainment-nation.co.uk/blog/all-time-favourite-wedding-dance-routines/"><b>choreographed dance </b></a>- you could even consider hiring dancing waiters and waitresses to add to the shock factor! All you have to do is keep it to yourself to make sure everybody is sufficiently surprised.
Have A Caricaturist At Your Party
Something people will love is a hired caricaturist to sketch them out live. You could even go for somebody who specialises in silhouettes. Either way, this will be a unique keepsake that will keep people entertained!

However, some parts can be very long-winded. Things like venue choices and food options, for example. However, some parts of wedding planning can be quite quick and simple. So it’s always advisable to get some of those things ticked off your list at your earliest convenience. This will leave you feeling organised and accomplished. So here are a few things that you can organise quickly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXr4JGXKWROy1eAyudPBhFuD9WF2TRXZ86sCao3i_lAR-ujeMw3Ib5j-3E9rVGfN_-VBPpLZ9MBkrftJw1wL1J0PuxFmitNjeeYnKBFhLtLYjgEnl0Ub9ovI8QvyFl-6p0sCttVN9Xzw/s1600/4.+Bridal+Bouquet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="541" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXXr4JGXKWROy1eAyudPBhFuD9WF2TRXZ86sCao3i_lAR-ujeMw3Ib5j-3E9rVGfN_-VBPpLZ9MBkrftJw1wL1J0PuxFmitNjeeYnKBFhLtLYjgEnl0Ub9ovI8QvyFl-6p0sCttVN9Xzw/s1600/4.+Bridal+Bouquet.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b>Your wedding bands</b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
The wedding rings are one of the most important things of the ceremony. So it would be nice to tick that off the list sooner rather than later. Unlike choosing an engagement ring, your wedding band should be a real quick and easy decision. You will most likely know what you want. So get these ordered and paid for as soon as possible. You will feel happier knowing they are sorted.<br />
<br />
<b>What about the invites? </b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
One of the biggest tasks you have early on is letting your guests know they are invited. The sooner you send out your <a href="https://www.dreamdayinvitations.com.au/"><b>wedding invitations</b></a> the quicker you will know your confirmed numbers, which can help with venue bookings and also for things like costs and added extras you may want to add into it.
<br />
<br />
<b>Wedding transport</b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
You may think that choosing your wedding transport would be a difficult decision to make. But again when it comes to this kind of thing you will have a good idea of what you want. It’s either a vintage style or something modern. When you know what you want, it’s very easy just to get it organised. Ticking this off the “to do” list will be great. At least you know you will get to the ceremony on time.<br />
<br />
<b>Your bridesmaid dresses</b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
No doubt you will have sweated over this <b><a href="http://www.rebelliousbrides.com/2019/06/wedding-fashion-inspiration.html">decision</a></b>. But you don’t need to. Your bridesmaids will understand that this is your decision because it is your big day. You will have your colour scheme in mind by the time it comes to buying these dresses, so get it sorted as soon as possible. Fittings will not be best left to the last minute.<br />
<br />
<b>Wedding hair</b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
Your wedding hair should be something that can be organised and booked in advance. Mostly because you will possibly be using your existing hairdresser. It’s easy as booking it in the next time you head for a regular haircut. Of course, how you want it to look might take a little more time. But again you should have a good idea about what <b><a href="https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-ideas/wedding-hairstyles-for-long-hair-amp.html">sort of styles</a> </b>suit you. Plus your hairdresser will be best placed to offer some words of wisdom.<br />
<br />
<b>Your bridal party</b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
Deciding on who will be part of your bridal party should be a quick and easy decision. Once this is finalised it will help with many future decisions in the future. Your husband should be able to advise you of his best man, and you will possibly have decided your bridesmaids the moment you were proposed to. The only other things to consider are flower girls and page boys, and also the ushers.
<br />
Let’s hope these things help you get ahead with your wedding planning.

You will need to put the work in to take advantage of this, but this should be easy once you get started.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Research<br />
<br />
Keeping on top of all of the elements you need to organise can be challenging without the right knowledge. A lot of people find themselves struggling to think of each part of their wedding from the top of their head, though this can be solved by simply using the <span style="color: purple;"><b><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/">web to handle your research</a>.</b></span> Not only does this give you the chance to learn about new options, but it will also give you an insight into what other people are doing with their weddings. Websites like Instagram are great for this, as they have high quality images and plenty of new posts each day.<br />
<br />
Communication<br />
<br />
Calling company after company and talking to large groups of your guests can be very time-consuming. This can be very frustrating, especially when you’re using the phone for it, making it worth looking for ways to simplify the process. You can learn<span style="color: purple;"><b> <a href="https://setapp.com/how-to/instagram-direct-messages-on-mac">how to send dm on Instagram from Mac</a></b></span> and how to start using email more effectively, and there are loads of resources around the web which can help you with this. This is worth it because it will save a lot of time, without forcing you to ignore people or forget about the different things you have on your mind.<br />
<br />
Saving Money<br />
<br />
It’s no secret that a wedding can be an expensive affair. A lot of people struggle to afford this event, though they will still go through with it, and you need to find a way to overcome this issue. A computer can provide you with a huge set of money saving tools. For example, instead of paying someone else to design invites, posters, and other graphics you will have at your wedding, you could use a tool like <b><a href="https://www.canva.com/">Canva</a> </b>to do it for yourself. This will mean you only have to pay to get them printed, rather than paying someone to make it look pretty for you.
With all of this in mind, you should be feeling ready to take on the challenge of using your computer to improve your wedding planning. This may feel unnatural if you don’t use a computer very much, though this is something worth getting over for the benefits these machines can provide. As time goes on, this will become essential, with more and more people using the web and companies moving online, though this isn’t necessarily a problem.

Having never picked out a piece of jewellery before, a lot of guys find themselves in a tricky spot when it comes to choosing an engagement ring. With this piece signifying the new union you’ve started, it makes sense that it is very important to a lot of people, and getting it right will be crucial if you’re going to manage the perfect proposal. It may seem small, but this element of your marriage is critically important. To help you out with this, this article will be exploring some of the biggest considerations you need to make during this process, enabling you to start hunting for your perfect ring.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Over The Top Or Understated? </b><br />
<br />
At this point, you should have a really good idea of the types of fashion and style your prospective wife likes. Having seen her every day for a long time, you will know what she likes to wear, and whether or not something over the top would be something she’d be comfortable wearing. Most women prefer something understated, with a simple band and an attractive stone in the middle, making it easy to pick something which they will like. Of course, though, there is more to this than <b><a href="https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/5730260">what they likes to wear,</a></b> and you will have to work hard to make your engagement ring special.<br />
<br />
<b>Hidden Meaning </b><br />
<br />
While your engagement ring is mostly designed to signify your new bond, this piece of jewellery can be made into something far more meaningful with the right kind of effort. If your partner cares about stones and their mystic properties, for example, you could look for something which symbolises <b><a href="https://www.shape.com/lifestyle/sex-and-love/10-ways-make-your-relationship-last">love and a long-lasting relationship</a></b>. Alternatively, if they like birthstones, a ring which contains the gem which represents the month they were born. There are loads of ideas like this which can be used to improve the impact your ring has, but it will always work best if you’re creative with it, choosing something which works on a level which they will understand as soon as they see it.<br />
<br />
Brand & Budget<br />
<br />
Not a lot of guys realise quite how diverse and complicated the engagement ring market can be. Some brands charge far more than others, but this is usually more than simple appeal. Instead, the companies which charge the most will also offer the best quality rings.<b> <a href="https://www.tacori.com/engagement-rings/">Check out Tacori's awesome engagement ring collection</a></b> to get a better idea of the cost and availability of these products, as this brand is well-known for creating extremely high-quality pieces without charging over the odds for them. Remember; it takes a lot of time and effort to create a good ring, and this is why they can be so pricey.<br />
<br />
A lot of guys struggle with this sort of process when they are planning to pop the question. It can be hard to feel sure when you’re buying something like this for someone else, especially when you’re getting started. Of course, though, as time goes on, you will see more and more rings, and your understanding of this field will greatly improve.

Getting invited to a wedding is certainly something to get excited about. The first thing that any woman thinks about when they receive a wedding invitation is what they are going to wear.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Weddings provide the perfect opportunity for a spontaneous shopping spree. Most guests at a wedding tend to wear pretty dresses rather than two-piece outfits. And only the very, very brave wear white as this obviously tends to be the colour which is worn by the bride. This article will provide a helping hand to anybody who is attending a wedding sometime soon or in the future by advising on what to look for when buying dresses for weddings.<br />
<br />
Floral patterns are perfect for those attending a wedding, and what’s more, is that they are bang on trend at the moment. When opting for a floral dress it is best to go for something feminine and floating. After all, flowers are a girly attribute and thus it is best to play to this strength. <b><a href="https://www.whowhatwear.co.uk/pale-yellow-fashion-trend">Pale colours </a></b>are best when going for a floral dress, so look out for ivory, mint green, rose pink and baby blue. However, when attending a winter wedding look for something which has a slight splash of a darker colour involved, such as deep purple or midnight blue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBF8kKg8Z1V0yMR7MD7vaV1RCGwcQvSnDGwb6MIZqp9C2QTHdsF9Vmfw2suVEhyphenhyphenmfZylKQqf_B2fApDlMDJKYVba_xvIALK1SyWmrdunfKkysDAT4zs5a6vEABfgVgPdHaSZiaZtbUDo/s1600/Enlight422.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBF8kKg8Z1V0yMR7MD7vaV1RCGwcQvSnDGwb6MIZqp9C2QTHdsF9Vmfw2suVEhyphenhyphenmfZylKQqf_B2fApDlMDJKYVba_xvIALK1SyWmrdunfKkysDAT4zs5a6vEABfgVgPdHaSZiaZtbUDo/s1600/Enlight422.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Dresses with ruched details are great for weddings. For those who like to go for something simplistic rather than something fussy or patterned, then a plain block colour dress with a ruched centre is perfect as the dress is simple yet still fashionable and striking due to the detail in the fabric. When it comes to picking a colour for these sorts of dresses then it really is up to the person in question’s taste, however, a candy pink is always a great option.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, belted dresses have been in trend for a while now and they are a great way to add fashion and glamour yet maintain class and sophistication. Go for a belted dress which has a thin belt rather than a thick one, as thick belts tend to be too distracting and they take away the beauty of the actual dress. It is also advisable to go for a vibrant colour when attending a <b><a href="https://reflectionsfromaredhead.com/your-guide-to-stress-free-wedding-planning/">wedding</a></b>, because this sort of dress can look like office wear if it is worn in dark colours such as black or navy blue.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkZhcpf9cCbKova4fV2Wf0m_vKB3zhId8XUsFKTJKUShVXfObMkvsxw1TfgC2pPagJFZHTWWGxnkEMFVVUi-exijBF1jl1tWO-eFlKMSZZQdG05ogxZZbAgchyhvjYHPdlkh8t_mUWZSE/s1600/IMG_6914.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkZhcpf9cCbKova4fV2Wf0m_vKB3zhId8XUsFKTJKUShVXfObMkvsxw1TfgC2pPagJFZHTWWGxnkEMFVVUi-exijBF1jl1tWO-eFlKMSZZQdG05ogxZZbAgchyhvjYHPdlkh8t_mUWZSE/s1600/IMG_6914.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
When it comes to dress length it is advisable to go for a midi dress. Midi dresses are perfect because they find the right balance and they have a chic look to them. Mini dresses can often be too short and uncomfortable to wear for the occasion. Maxi dresses are a beautiful option for those who want to wear a long flowing dress, however when it comes to keeping all options available midi dresses do the trick. Also, make sure you’re comfortable, whether this means wearing <span style="font-size: small;"><b><a href="http://www.bausch.com.au/">Bausch + Lomb contact lenses</a></b></span> rather than wearing your typical glasses, or going for a small heel; you want to enjoy yourself!
<br />
Hopefully, this article will have provided some suggestions and tips for those who have a wedding shopping spree in their midst.<br />

In 2018, President Duterte mandated a rehabilitation program for the island of Boracay which
kicked off with a 6-month closure, with a full completion still looming ahead. As of this writing
(April 2019), the island is on soft opening and still looks pretty raw. There are demolished
buildings (that look like war-torn scenes from a movie) fully exposed on the beach, the
government not even covering it up like it is some sort of sinister warning. Meanwhile, at the
back of the beach, it is filled with construction work--the dust mixing in with the salty and hot
air.

<br />
BUT this chaotic scenario hasn’t deterred locals and foreigners from traveling to Boracay. In fact, the closure triggered a collective frenzy to book the next flight to the island. And just like that, Boracay is once again buzzing with excitement and pulsating energy. And White Beach? Well, the powdery white sand, the sunsets, and the turquoise waters are as gorgeous as ever. We seriously did not even know that the powdery white sands in Station 1 could get any softer—but it actually did!<br />
<br />
A lot has been said about the new rules and regulations in the island. Yes-- lounge chairs, permanent structures, and drinks are completely banned by the beach. In fact, even the No. 1 resort in Station 1, <b>Discovery Shores</b>, was not spared from this rule. Discovery Shores patrons are familiar with the resort’s fabulous beachfront lounge beds where you can just revel at the island’s beauty for hours on end. Watching the waves and the sunset whilst sipping cocktails, with Discovery’s resident beach butlers putting cucumbers on your eyelids, cleaning your sunnies, serving you some Popsicles, are seriously one of the fondest memories you could have on the island. But nope, even these awesome experiences are long gone. <br />
<br />
Which will probably make you wonder, how does the “New Boracay” impact the wedding scene? And that’s what we are here to discuss in this post. Boracay is one of, if not ‘the’ best destination wedding locations in the whole of the Philippines, bar none. And we say this not just based on the location but also because the local wedding industry in Boracay is WORLD CLASS—which makes a wedding in this island not just possible, but also fairly easy, affordable, and TOP NOTCH.<br />
<br />
But if you are a bride/groom dreaming of a Boracay wedding, there are numerous things you would have to consider now that a lot of rules and regulations are in place.<br />
<br />
<u><b>So here are our top 3 things you need to know before you seriously consider a Boracay wedding: </b></u><br />
<br />
1. Beachfront weddings are no longer possible in most areas<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg73pCieY4OEEtTNVHSDlKCRk2tME96eNJ3aCFWd9TbHqsdbL7GxinYAZTS8VlsfTYIljVUGeBOuh68miG6heNnmUWyuOSskIkByv6ruZZMyO7KUYtTcNnOi77k8jrFMioAmuBxKrX5X2g/s1600/Lind-png.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1188" data-original-width="950" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg73pCieY4OEEtTNVHSDlKCRk2tME96eNJ3aCFWd9TbHqsdbL7GxinYAZTS8VlsfTYIljVUGeBOuh68miG6heNnmUWyuOSskIkByv6ruZZMyO7KUYtTcNnOi77k8jrFMioAmuBxKrX5X2g/s1600/Lind-png.png" /></a></div>
<i>Wedding Venue by<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/249823168552667/the-lind-boracay/"> The Lind Boracay</a> / Coordination by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eventsbyamandatirol/?hl=en">Events by Amanda Tirol </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eventsbyamandatirol/?hl=en"><br /></a> </i><br />
If lounge chairs and drinks are banned from the beach, what more for a full-on wedding ceremony and reception, right? And yes, in most cases, this is no longer allowed. If a beachfront wedding is non-negotiable to you, then you are pretty much limited to a handful of venues like <b>Shangri-La</b> and <b>Crimson</b>. In <b>Sea Wind</b> and <b>Lind</b>, there’s a tiny loophole because they have an “inner beach” area. Which means you can still have a wedding in front of the beach, but there’ an invisible perimeter area that will only allow you up to a certain distance. <b>Discovery Shores </b>and similar resorts have found alternatives to this beachfront issue, such as setting-up in various non-beachfront areas of their resort, with most of these alternative locations giving you an overlooking view of the ocean (or none at all). But one thing is for sure—at the moment, this is the rule that everybody needs to follow and there is no definite time frame of this rule ever being lifted in the foreseeable future. Now that beachfront wedding venues are limited, you should inquire/book your venues in advanced, and don’t limit yourselves to just weekend dates and the summer season.<br />

<i>Discovery Shores can no longer set-up a beachfront wedding ceremony but instead, will set it up at their "Wishing Stone" area, overlooking the ocean. The reception, as seen on the last photo, can be done in their ground floor lounge area, which as you can see, will still give you views of the beachfront. However, Amanda Tirol notes that Discovery can now only accommodate up to 70 guests given the limitations.

<br />
2. Not all resorts/hotels are accredited to accommodate guests<br />
<br />
Having a Boracay wedding means that you need to book rooms for yourselves, guests, and sometimes your suppliers. Now, there’s a new rule that you cannot go to the island without a booking confirmation from an accredited hotel. And sites like Booking.Com still accept hotel reservations from unaccredited hotels! So you have to be very careful. Before you make any reservations, make sure you have a list of accredited hotels which you can request from the Department of Tourism, or from your wedding coordinator.<br />
<br />
3. Only work with the best wedding suppliers in the island to avoid any further issues<br />
<br />

There are a lot more micro details that you need to know about Boracay weddings (ie. are fireworks, sandcastles, drone shots, among other common Boracay wedding ideas still allowed?) and it can be daunting to tackle this. So don’t gamble with it and just make sure to work with the best of the best. Amanda Tirol, is the only wedding coordinator in the island that we can fully endorse at this time. Her clout, professionalism, and in-depth knowledge of all things Boracay is simply unmatched. She will not only point you to the right direction in terms of what can and cannot be done in Boracay, but she also works with the best photographers, videographers, make-up artists, stylists, and other suppliers the island (and the entire country) has to offer. Despite all the set-backs that the new rules may impact on your wedding plans, Amanda will still be able to make sure that your dream wedding will be possible, by creatively balancing it out with the new regulations.<br />

The “new Boracay” definitely has some pros and cons. But do not be discouraged by these new rules. Because Boracay as an island is as breathtaking as ever. It is still one of the most beautiful places a couple could ever say their “I Dos”. But our blog, and other blogs are peppered with Boracay weddings from previous years. And that is why we just wanted to manage your expectations that the previous weddings that you may have seen and pinned on your mood boards, are not necessarily the kind of weddings that you can execute in Boracay today. But as long as you know what to expect, we don’t see any reasons for you to not have a fabulous Boracay wedding today. Just keep an open and positive mind, and let your creative juices and your wedding excitement take over you.
