Seven Swans a Swimming

Who doesn't remember the over the top wedding planner Franck Eggelhoffer from Father of the Bride? As the family wakes up to snow on the wedding day, Franck's swans keep warm in the bathtub, and the a grand idea of having them greet guests is foiled when bad weather rolls in.

We adore a fun and crazy plan like this and have only dealt with a bride-a-swimming in a dress, guess she could of passed for a beautiful swan.

A Sign Of Whats To Come

I've seen a lot of fun trends over the years to remember a special moment in time, most of them having to do with pictures. A trend that stands out and might be a bit more timeless than a pictures is cool signage. Not just the typical framed mat with all the signatures around it but more of a poster exclaiming your stake in the ground, your new found love, a marker of the moment. Check out some of the ones we're loving past, present and (your) future.

Tie One On

We get asked a lot for great groomsmen gifts or father of the bride gifts. Sentimental always seems to be a fall back. However my rule of thumb for this, and this counts for wedding favors too, is that if it isn't useful then don't spend the money.

I love these tie bars. Not only is it unique, chic and makes me want to watch Mad Men but its customizable and you don't have to be Tim Gunn to tie one on....Now "make it work"....
