The Wedding Kiss

The other day, I was talking with a photographer that I work with on occasion, and he asked me what I thought about offering advice to the bride and groom on kissing once given permission by the officiant during the ceremony. I thought it was strange at first but the more I think about it, it makes since. Sometimes, brides and grooms will go into the ceremony with no idea about how they are going to kiss or be kissed. This photographer said that he wanted our bride and groom to kiss in a… Continue

What to do with leftover wedding invitations?

It is always a good idea to order approximately 10% more of your invitations from your guest list for the "just in case" moments. However, what if you're left with a bundle of invitations after the wedding? Rather than throwing your leftover invitations in the recycling bin, here are some ideas for putting them good use:

- Create a shadow box of the entire stationery… Continue

Plaza Colon in Granada

Most of Granada's streets are quite narrow due to the city's layout before the advent of motorized vehicles.

Hotel Plaza Colon is located right in front of Parque Colón, known as Parque Central in the historical city of Granada. The hotel is set in an… Continue

Congratulations....I have been Manengaged?

Is nothing female sacred?

The notion of a man slipping a ring on his loved one’s finger may date back in legend to the Austrian Archduke Maximillian, who gave Mary of Burgundy a diamond ring to celebrate their forthcoming marriage in 1477, but it was only in the last century that the De Beers company made the gesture truly mainstream.

Is an engagement… Continue

I am sure that most of you have seen the wonderful ceremony dance up the aisle for the Minnesota couple on YouTube. If not, please refer to yesterday's blog. Some people will watch this video and say, "No, not for me!" yet others will love it and think about doing something creative at their own wedding. I personally adore it and would be thrilled to watch a couple express their creativity on this level.

A wedding is a social event of a broad range of ages, personalities, family dynamics,… Continue

Letterpress in Literature Dead Man’s Cell Phone

Every summer I make it a point to visit the Ashland Shakespeare Festival at least once. Over the years I have seen most of the traditional Shakespearian plays performed, so this time I thought I would try something new. Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone is the delightful story of meaning and personal relationships in our crazy world of modern technology.
