Video Booths

A year ago I made a blog post about renting photo booths for your wedding reception. This is a wonderful idea for your guestbook. But wait, look what's IN now! VIDEO BOOTHS!



We didn't have a photo booth at our wedding, we did receive a lot of photos from our guests though, but we would have also loved to hear from them. Having a 450-guest wedding is anything but personal! As you can imagine, we weren't able to talk to a lot of our guests. A video booth would have been wonderful to have at our wedding. Guests can visit the video booth at any time during the reception to record a message for the newly weds. They can tell stories and funny moments and record their best wishes. Guests should also feel more comfortable recording their messages with this machine, and having fun with the props that some companies do provide, rather than being awkward in front of the videographer.

The only problem having this at our wedding, even if I knew about this awesome machine? Can't seem to find any vendors here in Quebec that rents out these video booths! Hello vendors, where are you?? Please do let us know if you're lucky enough to find one in Quebec.

Here are a couple of vendors from Toronto (you lucky brides and grooms!):

Memories are Forever

Whenever I pull out my grandparents' black and white photos, I wish I can pass them on to my children and grandchildren so that they can pass onto their next generation. Unfortunately, photos fade away and can easily be damaged. How can I maintain these memories forever? While planning my own wedding a little more than a year ago, I discovered this unique way of inscribing a photo into a diamond. This new nanotechnology is a process that permanently inscribes high-resolution photos on any diamond or other gemstone without changing the purity or the value of the diamond.



Here's a peek at what my inscription looks like in my diamond... this picture doesn't do it justice! The actual image has a higer quality than what you see here.



I am proud to announce that A Timeless Celebration has become the first authorized dealer in Canada to offer this unique diamond inscription service to our customers. By ordering through us, you will receive a 2% discount on this very unique service that will surely be something you can brag about!


For more information and FAQs, you can visit the official Gemory website.

TIE-ing the Knot!

I know this probably isn't meant for everyone who's into damask and might think this is taking it too far. But I just have to share this Etsy find with you guys because it's just so unique! For those of you who are absolutely in love with the pattern, Rok Gear has this is the perfect final touch for your damask theme wedding!




Damask is just not your thing? No problem! You can have your own design printed on the tie! Here's a great example if you have a cherry blossom theme. Still too flashy for you? Design your very own tie with a less subtle color and theme that's perfect for your wedding.


Not only do these add a unique touch to the groom and the groomen's attire, they are eco-friendly! An environmentally friendly water based high-quality non-toxic ink is used, their water base ink has a soft hand flexible feel. Read more about the ink they use on their website.

They even have a bulk order discount just for your wedding party.

Hot Chocolate Favors

If you're still searching for the perfect winter wedding favors, why not consider some hot chocolate mix for your guests? Nothing is better than a cup of hot chocolate during the cold winter months! You can purchase them all packaged up nice and pretty from online sellers such as Beau Coup (image on left) or Hot Ref (image on right).

If you're a DIY bride like myself, I would encourage you to make your own. Think of unique packaging you can do with the hot chocolate mix, perhaps in a tin can with your monogram sticker on it tied with a ribbon? Your guests would definitely appreciate some hot chocolate mix in a mug! You might also want to get personalized mugs to go with the mix.

You can do a Spiced Cocoa Mix or an Instant Cocoa Mix with Marshmallow. Just thinking about them makes me all warm inside!

If you already decided on your favors for your winter wedding, why not think of preparing some hot chocolate to greet your guests at your ceremony or reception? I'm sure your guests would love that!

Winter Bouquets: Crystal

A twist to a winter bouquet is a beautiful crystal bouquet! These are becoming very popular and they add an elegant and personal touch to your wedding. You can easily make your own crystal bouquet and even some for your bridesmaids with this DIY kit from Wedding Day Originals.

Here are some imagines for your inspiration!

Beginning to End

If you're the more crafty type, you can even shape the crystals into flowers like lilies.

Perfet Jewellery

You can also make beautiful crystal corsages and boutonnieres.

The Flower Diva

If you love the idea of crystals for your bouquet but think an entire bouquet of crystal is just too much for your liking, you can always add some crystals to your bouquet or flowers.

I absolutely love this bouquet with the crystal monogram to personalize your bouquet.

Personally Handwritten

I love personally handwritten letters, cards and notes. I have a big box full of handwritten letters from my friends and loved ones since elementary school! I love the fact that the person actually took the time to look for a card (or even made a card) and write something for me. Makes me feel oh so special!

Do you still get handwritten notes these days? When was the last time you received one? Handwritten notes are very rare nowadays. I don't even get actual birthday cards anymore. I get e-cards... an e-card that expires in a month! Don't get me wrong, I love e-cards too and the fact that my friends would take 10 minutes out of their busy schedule to send an e-card to me makes me feel special too. But having a handwritten note that doesn't expire and one that I am able to keep and to look back on years later really is something that's special to me.

Of course, not only do I love receiving, I also love giving. The joy I get from writing a card or a note to someone dear to me, or even someone I don't know very well, is just indescribable! As I write the note, I know that the person receiving it will appreciate it.

I know that at least one person will agree with me on this one! Shannon, from Calligraphy by Shannon, is someone who has a passion for the the art of writing and calligraphy. In her blog profile, she says "It is incredible what joy you can give to people through writing letters, notes, and words of encouragement. I have found that this joy can also be shared in so many ways - and this has led me to be passionate about calligraphy!"

Ditto Shannon!

By the way, Shannon not only has beautiful handwriting, she creates really cool maps for her customers too!
