Flower Girl Fashion for the Spring Season

January 12, 2015 by Ajalon

Flower girls are a part of ancient tradition dating back to the Romans. Preceding the bride down the aisle, young girls carried chaffs of wheat and herbs to bring good luck and prosperity to the bride and groom. In Medieval times, young girls would carry garlic along with the procession to ward off evil spirits. Modern day flower girls are there to carry on the tradition. Often the girls are relatives of the bride or a close friend and serve to cheer up the wedding guests with “Awww” moments. Flower girls are fun to dress up as well to mirror the fun themes of the wedding. Here are some lovely little ladies who enjoy bearing the ceremonious blossoms:

If you are looking for more inspiration for your special little flower girl’s style, then stop by our flower girl Pinterest inspiration board. There are endless pictures of sweet kids with flawless style.

Wedding Entertainment for the Reception: Live Music

December 31, 2014 by Ajalon

A wedding reception is made to be customized. The unique style of the bride and groom makes the event a special moment in the lives of the loved ones attending this very happy day. Music is always a staple at any wedding, from wedding marches to first dances to open dance floors, and this is a fun way to combine the bride and groom’s tastes.

While wedding DJs are common (and life savers!), sometimes it might just make sense to have live music at the wedding! Did you and your beau first fall in love at a concert? Does your wedding venue have perfect acoustics? Are your best friends in a band together? Try inviting musicians to be there for your wedding day to add to the ambiance of the reception.

No matter what your style is, there are so many opportunities to find the right fit for your wedding reception. Jazz, classical, hard rock, folk, and big band are all great music genres that you will easily be able to have at your reception. What kind of music will you have at your wedding. We’d love to know!
