I'm hanging around...

Hello Beautiful Brides-to-Be! I'm back for a few more posts as I want to share all the details that made my day so special. I do admit that once the day had come I was also happy to have the wedding planning over with. Wedding planning had consumed my life and there is such a relief once its over. However, while you can enjoy it because its part of the wedding process and you'll have comic relief afterwards, believe me there are behind-the-scene stories at every wedding.
Last year I had blogged about personalized bride hangers, here! It was one detail that I loved! Also, if you do go with a personalized hanger order well in advance. Try to get all the little details ordered well before your wedding as its one less item to worry about. Although I didn't go with a personalized name on my hanger I loved the simplicity of 'Bride'.

Happy Weekend!

Its a cloudy Saturday here in Toronto, similar to my Wedding day but that didn't stop me from having fun!

Enjoy your weekend no matter the weather.

Happy Sunday & Happy Pictures {wedding pictures}

Hello Bonita Bride readers, so excited to announce my wedding pictures have been edited and finalized. Yes, it can take 12-14 weeks after the wedding for the amazing Renaissance Studios team to work their magic. But well worth it!! Here are just a few images, hoping to finalize a few posts here and Bonita Bride will end. Hopefully, I've helped a few brides-to-be to get inspired! Planning can be a stressful period but all worth it, just know that not everything will flow perfectly but those little bumps will be laughable afterwards. One of my regrets is not having more pictures with my immediate family at our home before leaving for the Church, however so much falls on the shoulders of a bride that you can't do it all. Just remember to breathe and take it all in!

Time is All you Need

Giambattista Valli Spring 2012 Couture

I remember last January my search began for the Wedding Dress and by this time last year I had the banquet hall and church booked. Looking back in hindsight I think I should have given myself more than a year to prepare but I really wouldn't have changed much about the Big Day! It was really a matter of time management...I will be sharing with you more details I promise but without the actual images from the photographer not much at the moment to visually post. Professional pictures take up to 14 weeks after the wedding to get, each picture is edited. So imagine more than 500 images retouched? Whew!
For a little wardrobe inspirations the Couture Fashion Shows are always a delight to look at and here are just a few lovely images.
