A Workout for the Buff Bride

{Photo courtesy of: www.fitnessmagazine.com/wedding}

Most of the Brides-to-be that come into my Boutique
tell me that they are embarking on a very structured
fitness regimen to look fabulous on their Wedding Day.
Most of the ladies want to change either their
exercise habits or just eat healthier.
Since I am on quite of a workout mission myself
(and read Fitness Magazine on a monthly basis:-)
I thought I would start searching for some helpful articles.

So, as I was eating my lunch today and flipping through
the latest issue, I found a program for the Buff Bride,
which specifically targets the arms, shoulders and back.
Therefore, if you are interested in becoming a
workout Queen or Princess before your Wedding,
and wearing a strapless gown,
take a look at this link below and see what you think...
And yes, I did sign up for the 6 week Bridal Bootcamp:-)!!!

Amazing Cakes

The tradition of the Wedding cake has long come to symbolize
the unity and togetherness of a newly married couple.
That is why they stand side by side, hand on hand
and cut the cake together.

If you haven't selected your Wedding cake yet,
a good way to start is by looking through
as many photographs as possible.
You can just get swept away by the
unbelievable artistry and talent of the designers.

The following images are a beautiful and diverse
selection of Wedding cakes that range from
traditional round buttercream designs,
to very modern and sleek creations,
to whimsical, colorful and artsy selections,
to a very trendy cupcake tower
and also an imaginative destination themed example.

I have included a link at the bottom of the page
that I thought provided a good description of the different styles
of Wedding cakes and spotlights a few trends for 2010.

Make that gift special

Many people are looking for that very special gift
to give to an engaged or married couple,
close family member or dear friend.
They often request an item with a personalized touch,
whether it be engraved or embroidered.
If our customers are searching specifically for
the Bride and Groom,
there are many keepsake gift ideas for them to explore
such as customized throw blankets with names
and Wedding date, engraved champagne flutes and
coordinating server sets, matching his and hers robes, etc.
An ongoing Wedding trend is the
increasing popularity of the monogram.
You can find it on such details as a
Wedding accessory, gift item and special apparel.
Some of the monogrammed items that you will find
in our boutique are cake toppers, elegant guestbooks,
handmade Bridal hankies, chenille robes,
customized shower curtains, cuff links and special
gifts for women, men and children.

Single initials, names or customized phrases are also
requested to personalize a gift to make it special.
