And then there were four !

Yes, it’s been a while since my last post and I’m told that I really should only blog when I have something important to blog about, and since the last month has been all about nesting and getting ready for our new arrival, it seems that my focus on weddings has been put on the back burner. I am very happy though to announce the newest addition to my Notebook Weddings Posse!  Our daughter, Olivia arrived on April 26th and ...

Beta 5 = heavenly chocolates!

I have just discovered a delicious new local vendor.  Jessica at Beta 5 contacted me a while back to introduce herself and her company that she co-owns.  This local company makes the most incredible chocolates.  (they also make other delectables too!  Check out their website here) And what also puts a smile on my face is the fact that they use sustainably farmed ingredients and easily customized packaging that can be recycled in the end. I took my son down ...

Vancouver Wedding Photographers

Let’s face it, there are A LOT of great wedding photographers out there.  So many in fact that the process of finding one to suit your needs can be quite daunting and maybe a little overwhelming.  It’s my opinion that your photos are an important part of your budget for your wedding.  They’re going to remain with you for a long time afterward and will be cherished as lasting images of a day that honestly slips by so quickly.  What ...

I heart you

Valentine’s Day.  To some (“achem”… my husband) it’s just another Hallmark holiday.  To others, it’s the most romantic day of the year.  A day to profess your love to the man or woman of your dreams.  Some go so far as to propose or better yet, choose to celebrate their love by getting married on Valentine’s Day. Creating your Valentine’s theme into your wedding can be a lot of fun, simply by incorporating red and pink into your decor.  Classic ...

I’ve discovered Pinterest…

And I have to say, I am in LOVE.  I could probably spend all day on it, but I must resist.  For those of you who don’t know about it, it’s kinda like a pin up board where you can put all things that make you happy, inspire you, or represent you.  Much like Facebook and Twitter, you can follow people whose boards you admire, you can repin images you fancy (I do that A LOT!), and what’s great is ...

The Vancouver Club’s “Engaged” bridal fair

I thought I’d put up a few pictures that I took this weekend at The Vancouver Club’s first Bridal Fair.  Now you know by now, I am partially biased to this venue.  My husband and I were married there in 2008, and it was a trip going back to where we both had one of the best nights of our life.  I must also say that they pulled it off with classic elegance.  With vendors being showcased on all floors, ...

Happy Friday the 13th

For all you superstitious readers out there, I have to say that today has been a great day so far!  (aside from being woken at 5 AM by my 2 year old) This is short, but I wanted to share my success!  I’ve mentioned her before and have made mention to a few wedding bloggers out there recently.  There are so many of them, that they too, can also be overwhelming.  But I have found my select favs who fulfill ...
