Crowning Inspiration: Covered Shoulders for Ceremonies

In yesterday's class that I teach at UT, we talked about the Orthodox and Jewish wedding ceremonies. I love the rich heritage and traditions that these ceremonies still hold strong to this day. One of the traditions includes modesty and covered shoulders. But not just modesty, covered shoulders can signify strength and the new role that women take in their marriage.

If you are considering covering your shoulders for your ceremony, check out these beauties I pinned on Pinterest. Most of the bolero jackets can be removed to show off your glowing skin for post-ceremony festivities and receptions.

Love how just a little jacket can add some variety to your wedding dress!

Crowning Inspiration: Long Wedding Tables

I love it when my clients request long wedding table(s). Sometimes we do many long tables and place them perpendicular, and other times we do one long table. I think the long table has a great significance to the idea of 'two families becoming one' at a wedding.

Here are my favorites I pinned on Pinterest - follow me!

Crowning Celebration: The Knot Ohio

When the The Knot called last fall in the midst of one of my craziest, busiest weddings of the year, I was thrilled! They asked three Ohio wedding coordinators to give their "inside scoop" on Ohio weddings.

Crowning & Chic - Bridal Bouqet Trend: Broach and Pin bouquets

Last January we featured broach bouquets (click here to see the post). Its a fun alternative, especially in the winter when flowers are not "in season" for northwest Ohio. And unlike flowers, these beauties will last forever!

My favorite broach bouquet is made of buttons, pins and other vintage jewelry pieces that are family heirlooms. For instance, maybe the buttons from your grandmother's gown, or use one of her favorite pins.... Maybe a pair of earrings your mom wore in the 80's! Go creative and add some color or be classic with vintage silver, gold or ivory tones. I just love this silver bouquet below!
