#TBT - Pamela Anderson Take One! Take Two!! Take Three!!!

This week has been hotter-than-hot, we've hit forty degrees on the humidex scale and today felt like a day that was begging to be spent with the A/C on and a pitcher of something frothy and fizzy. I can't imagine the poor brides and grooms getting married this weekend in this sweltering heat, decked out in suits and dresses and bustles...... This would be the perfect weekend to have a beach weekend, with a swimsuit or bikini and sarong and hopefully a nice breeze! So it seemed fitting, on Throwback Thursday to look back at one of the most famous beach weddings - Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock.  Sex-y on the Beach? The ultimate stripped-down wedding? You be the judge!

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock's demure St. Tropez wedding


Before Kid Rock, there was Tommy Lee and this wedding wasn't as casual and was a decidedly more traditional event and she looked radiant.

....... And after Kid Rock was Rick Salomon. Was the third time the charm? Marriage-wise no, the couple have since split. But style-wise?  She married the traditional and put-together bride from wedding #1 with the fun, party girl from wedding #2 to create a wedding look that was fun and sexy but less.... skimpy.

So which Wedding Day Pamela did you like or remember the most? And if there is another marriage foe her down the road (down the aisle?) what do you think we can expect from the bride?

Wonderful Wednesday!

April and I did a wedding a couple weeks ago where our bride's son was singled out and involved in a really cool way.  During the reception, he was going to be seated between his mom and his new dad at the head table.  At the rehearsal dinner,  we had gifted the couple with monogrammed toasting flutes and had surprised them with a monogrammed goblet for him as well, so he was livin' like a rock star that night with his very own glass.  But his mom wanted to find a meaningful way to include him during the ceremony.   She found a way to celebrate her son during one of the most important moments in her life; the best man 'lost' the rings and put out a frantic SOS by radio and along came our hero,  Secret Agent-style, a sharp dressed man in shades, outfitted with a sleek briefcase and the missing jewellery.  'Crisis' averted, and his entrance was greeted by thunderous applause.  It was such a great moment, seeing him dash up the aisle to save the day!  There are so many unique ways to include the people you love fiercely on your big day. I  across a great story on Buzzfeed earlier in the summer and it stayed with me and I'm passing it along to you!

One ring bearer to rule them all!

Wedding Momento 101

My name is Lisa and I am a hoarder.  A memory hoarder.

This sounds pretty harmless, like I'm a collector of memories, who has an almost photographic memory and a mental catalogue of moments in my life, right? No. The sad truth is that I keep all sorts of items  that are a physical reminder of an event or special day. I keep birthday and Christmas cards (even get-well and thank you cards!)  cute stocking stuffers, escort cards from weddings, gift tags from presents, and somewhere, the cards from my wedding. Boxes of mementos and..... It's just stuff! No rhyme or reason, just one-off trinkets, cards with meaning to me and mish-mash clutter to everyone else.

I still need to find a way to properly deal with the cute little animals that I kept from my Milestones Bellinis that are less a plastic elephant or giraffe, but more a reminder of a great night of laughter and bonding, or a celebration of another year of being 25 (I've had a LOT of experience being 25!) BUT here is a beautiful way to keep your wedding cards.  Wedding cards designs have really stepped up, they are BEAUTIFUL and the personal messages inside are even more so, so why not consider giving them a lovely presentation all of their very own?

How to make a Wedding Card memento that will take your breath away!

A thoughtful and gorgeous way to preserve the best wishes and hopes for your future that your closest and dearest bestowed on you!

#TBT Wedding Edition

Throwback Thursday is awesome! Celebs post old-school pics that remind us of days (and hairstyles...and fashion.... sometimes original faces!) gone by.  So what better day that #TBT to dig up some of our favourite celeb weddings, a marital blast from the past?  Please check back with us every Thursday to see what we dig up!

For our first TBT......

Chrstina Aguilera has done it all: fresh faced Teen-Genie, greased-up and Dirrrty in her XXXtina/Stripped days, a bawdy Lady Marmalade and a flirty pin-up girl... But here she was, almost ten years ago, when she got married to music producer Jordan Bratman. The wedding was gorgeous and opulent, and she looked absolutely lovely. While the marriage itself didn't last, her wedding will live forever as an example of decadence!

Christina and Jordan tie the knot!

I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeves when she ties the knot with her current fiancé..... And I hopehopehope there's a feature in a glossy mag when it happens!

Wanderlust Wednesday

What do you get when you combine one loved-up wedding couple, a stunning location and a camera in the hands of a pro with an eye for the extraordinary?  A case of wanderlust, and a whole lotta feels!

Junebug Weddings chose their top destination wedding photos of the year and they are stunning! This collection will take you to far-off locales like Indonesia and Australia, romantic holiday standards such as Italy and France, and introduce you to the beauty of Iceland and to some stunning views right here in Canada! It's a worldwide journey covering lots of ground across the globe and if ever there was an ode the the destination wedding, this is IT.

A picture might be worth a thousand words, but I'm pretty sure these would be worth an immeasurable amount of sighs and swoons...... Now, let's get travelling - no passport necessary!

Love Across the Globe!

Hand Me That Envelope!

I am hopelessly in love..... with wedding invitations.  Call me old-fashioned, old-school, old-timey - but I feel a surge of excitement when I get a wedding invitation.  There's a lovely feeling that comes from being invited to one of the most important days in a person's life,  and for me, there's something that is so beautiful, so magical - so promising! - about that thick envelope with all its gorgeous bits 'n' bobs inside..... A visually stunning invitation can act as a tease to the big event; the colour theme, the design and patterns chosen for each element of the invitation package, the fonts of the lettering, the finish chosen for the card stock, even the fonts chosen - these are all little hints about the couple as well as what kind of celebration they have in store for us.  There's something so collaborative, creative, and ultimately gratifying for a couple, this process of sitting down with a pro and brainstorming, expressing ideas, pulling inspirations and at the end of it all, having a gorgeous little teaser they can send out to hype their nuptials!

Feast your eyes on these thirty stationary companies that create great little enveloped works of art - and they're Canadian, all across the country and potentially in your backyard! 

Invitations to make your knees weak and your eyes pop!

Wedding invitations are a sweet detail that can set the tone for your big day. Enjoy the opportunity to make a bit of a visual spectacle of it - and get your guests excited and maybe even a little impatient for your wedding!

Happy Canada Day!!

A very Happy Canada Day from Limitless Events! We hope that this mid-week holiday is finding you relaxed, happy and well-fed (or about to be well-fed… and hydrated… and dessert-filled. You know, all the good stuff that a holiday brings!)

Now…. I came across an amazing chart a few months ago from the good folks at Buzzfeed that is an amazing resource for all things wedding dress. It literally dissects EVERY aspect of a dress and details the goods in handy charts for you.  There is a comprehensive list of  everything from materials, silhouettes, necklines, even sleeves all the way to veils and trains.  This is basically Wedding Dress 101 and class is in session!  And if that wasn’t enough, they also have some great timelines of what tasks should be done at what stage of your planning.  A little like extra credit reading?  So I’m passing it along to you all to keep handy!

17 Wedding Dress Diagrams That Will Simplify Your Shopping

To all the July Brides out there …. congratulations, ladies! The big month is here! Please don’t forget to pencil in a little ‘you’ time as the big day gets nearer - whether it’s a block of time to get a massage, facial or pedi,  attend a weekly yoga class (or spinning, or Cross-fit or whatever gives you time to keep your heart and mind healthy!) or even a half-hour you set aside to read celebrity gossip online – it’s important to just BE, just you and no wedding distractions, even if it’s for a small window.  Nerves are natural, and stress is inevitable, but being able to pull away for a little while can make all the difference in how you navigate little bumps in the road to your wedding day!
