Christmas Week

2010-12-20T12:39:00.002-05:00

It is the most Wonderful Week of the Year!!!

I love Christmas and can't get enough of all the festive decor.

SMP shared last week these great inspiring images. I just adore every little detail of this shoot. A truly holiday fairytale.

~"We wanted to create a table-scape that was the abstract interpretation of the holidays. While brainstorming to create something unique and inspiring, we thought of cardinal birds, cranberries, bows, and lots of glitter. From there we were further inspired by Cinderella & Enchanted."~

Invitations - Help !!

2010-09-01T05:43:00.003-04:00

Invitations are an important step to set the tone for the type of wedding you intend to have, whether it is fancy, casual or something in between.

Nowadays, we have so much to choose from; printing techniques, paper style, colors, sizes, new trends....

I haven't found yet THAT perfect invitation...but I am almost there.

My biggest dilemma at this moment however is the wording. I am having a hard time trying to figure out which idiom to write on my invitations. As most of you might know, I will be having a destination wedding in Brazil. Some of my guests understand English and Portuguese pretty well. However, some, can only understand/read English and others only Portuguese.

A friend of mine suggested me to have the invitations written in Portuguese as the wedding will be held in Brazil. Besides, the guest flying out of US will be contacting me anyways for travel arrangements and I can always explain the details.

The other day I was reading about a bride who is currently living in London and her wedding will be held in Costa Rica. To avoid any misunderstanding, she had invitations written in English and in Spanish. (Maybe a little too much??).

I was also told to choose one or the other and have a little card attached with the translation...

Have any of you been through a situation like this? Any ideas??? Suggestions??
