Celebrating In February
Celebrating doesn’t have to mean a huge ordeal or lots of money! To Celebrate is to observe or commemorate. Make it simple and sweet. What does each day mean to you?

Super bowl: An all American past-time with family, friends and food!

Groundhog Day: The day I know when Spring is coming! Check out the history of this great day here.

Lincoln’s Birthday: Read a brief history of our 16th President and learn why we honor him.
Valentines Day: Hmmm Chocolate, Champagne, Fancy Dinners and Heart Shaped I luv u’s. Why is this day so Important?

Washington’s Birthday: Our 1st President. It is amazing to know how much he accomplished at such a young age. Makes me wonder about our children and their accomplishments.

Ash Wednesday: The first day of Lent in the Roman Catholic Calendar. This day is the beginning of the season of preparation to receive Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.

What do you plan to celebrate this month and how do you plan to celebrate it?

2009 Wedding Trends
The Colors: Slate (or Gray) and Royal Purple. I know it sounds gloomy but try these color variations side by side. Pull out a box of colored markers and see what happens!

The Cakes: Or Should I say CUP cakes!

The Flowers: Beautiful organic combinations but with LOTS of color!

The Venue: Afordable and out of the ordinary – Farms, B&B’s, and Historic Parks.

These are just the trends. You and your Fiance’s personal style will be the true tell of YOUR wedding “Trend”. Just remember that whether BIG or quaint, your day is all about your love for one another and that makes it special in itself!
