Halloween Weddings

Happy Halloween! Would you have a Halloween inspired wedding? Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2015 so you have some time!

Valuable Wedding Lesson! Must Read!!

While reading Glamour's 'Save the Date' section I came across this extremely important lesson brought to you by Kim Fusaro of Glamour and Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin's baby daddy).

Check it out: http://www.glamour.com/weddings/blogs/save-the-date/2012/10/a-valuable-wedding-lesson-cour.html

Please, please, please use spell check and make sure someone is proof reading everything that will be seen by wedding guests! This is coming from a girl who is horrible at spelling and my grade school report cards always said 'Mikayla needs to remember to spell check her work'! These simple mistakes can be avoided so remember to get your best friends, your parents and any English teachers your know to check all of your wedding work. It may be a pain but it saves you from an embarrassing situation later on.

Glowing and Romantic Bridal Makeup

Not sure how you should (or your make up artist!) should do your make up on your wedding day? Check out this gorgeous tutorial from Lisa Gregory on youtube.

What do you guys think? I think it's absolutely beautiful. Great job, Lisa Gregory :)

Not Just A Ponytail

Would you wear a ponytail on your big day? Check out this 'not just a ponytail' from All The Small Things Blog. Perfect for bridesmaids and guests as well!

Glam!

How glam is this gold sparkly polka dot cape?! I'd LOVE to see this on one of my brides one day! Would you wear it? 

Glasses VS Contacts

Do you and/or your groom to be wear glasses? If so, are you sporting your regular look on your big or are you going to try out contacts? Check out the Wedding Bee's online topic boards for a big discussion on brides wearing glasses! http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/brides-with-glasses-who-are-not-wearing-contacts-on-the-day

I personally LOVE when brides keep their own image for their wedding day. Check out this super adorable bride wearing her glasses!

Murder not Divorce

I came across this picture on Pinterest and think it is just incredible! Divorce is too common of a word today and I love that many people I know are removing that yucky word from their relationships. I know that sometimes divorce can be a good thing and it is definitely needed in certain circumstances so I'm not judging anyone who is divorced but marriage (and frankly, any relationship) takes work!
I truly believe that it takes a village to raise a child as well as a village help a marriage succeed. The most successful relationships I know are possible because they ask for help - help watching kids for date night, help talking out a problem, help from a therapist who gives you a different outlook, help to admit you were wrong and help to plan a surprise for your significant other, help for anything!

For all your unmarried friends who need a laugh! (Or for anyone because I think most people would find these hilarious) Enjoy!!

Beautiful First Dance Song

"So you wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you..."

LOVING 'Marry Me' by Train as a first dance song (or should be added to your wedding playlist). This song keeps appearing at weddings and it always brings a tear to my eye.

Happy Friday! Have a lovely weekend!

50 Original Wedding Ideas

Check out this article from Weddingbells Magazine on '50 Original Ideas Your Friends Haven't Thought Of Yet': http://www.weddingbells.ca/blogs/planning/2012/10/05/50-origina-wedding-ideas-your-friends-havent-thought-of-yet/

Loving the idea of bridesmaids carrying different types of flowers but all in the same colour family, creating engagement photo envelope liners instead of save the date postcards, and having a confetti bar where guests can mix their own glittery concoctions to toss at you. What do you think?!

Thanksgiving Blessings

Again..I've been very tardy with my posts. Life has been very interesting lately and unfortunately blogging hasn't come first. I have been up to date with my Facebook page so you can always check that out for more wedding ideas (https://www.facebook.com/EatDrinkandBeMarriedEvents) but I am happy to announce that I am back (yes, again..) with some fabulous new ideas and I have a bunch of blog posts ready to go! 

This past weekend was the Canadian Thanksgiving and Eat, Drink & Be Married has SO, SO, SO much to be thankful for! I am thankful for:

• My amazingly wonderful friends and family. 
• Everyone who supports my crazy dream of being a wedding planner and starting up my own business.
• My puppy. I love going home to spend time with him
• Diet coke, Pinterest and peanut butter M&M's.
• Having a roof over my head, a warm bed and a fridge full of food.
• Having wonderful readers who continue to read my blog! :) You guys are awesome!
