There is nothing like a wedding is there

 

Have you ever seen a wedding?

A magnificent day, and one we imagine to be so much fun for all involved. Well OK, perhaps fun isn’t quite the right word. A wedding is a huge day, a special day, and at least in theory, a wedding is meant to be a once in a lifetime event. Perhaps less so these days though.

Ahh never mind the ramblings of an old cynic. Weddings are incredible. A happy couple who are the centre of attention of their adoring family and friends for the day, as their union is recognized and celebrated. Does it get better? Not really.

But what are some of the things that go into making a wedding day a success? Other than Bride meets Groom, prolonged courtship, romance, and that sort of thing there is a huge amount of planning?

We will mention a few elements now as a part of our series of posts about weddings and events.

Lets start with perhaps one of the most essential, and most visible, parts of a wedding. Think any celebrity or royal wedding and what is on the cover of all of the papers and magazines next day? The dress. That’s right, the wedding dress is so important, even in Australia. Wedding dresses Brisbane, for example, are so highly sought after there are shops that cater to every part of the market.

From cheap mass produced wedding dresses that you can buy online, and they even kind of look like the photo you saw on the dodgy website – but not quite – to stunning bespoke creations with flowing trains and miles of lace. The ones that leave a jaw on the floor. There are quite a few great wedding dress shops in the inner West of Brisbane, in Paddington and similar locations, as well as others in the South East part of town. Brisbane is well catered to by wedding dress makers!

Now that we know what you are going to wear, let’s talk about how you are going to get to your wedding. Limo hire Brisbane is the way to go. Unless Dad owns a Roller or similar bridal car, hiring a wedding car, or cars if you would like your whole bridal party to arrive at the same time in style, that is. Good wedding car companies often have a selection of vehicles, with two or three that are very similar, for exactly this purpose.

Now lets switch locations. Let’s jump over the Pacific Ocean and head for the City of Angels. Los Angeles weddings are very similar to Australian weddings but with one difference. Some of the people in Los Angeles have way more time on their hands and way more money. Don’t know what we mean – watch Beverly Hills Housewives. Buying wedding dress Los Angeles – well lets just say that they really know how to put a dress together, and a wedding, in this town that parties all night and plays all day. When there is more wealth, there is more elaborate. Have a look at some of the wedding couture boutiques and the evidence is clear: Los Angeles Weddings take a lot of beating!

Bespoke Bridal in Brisbane?

  That’s what this post is all about – getting married in Brisbane, Australia, and some of the things you might need to consider beforehand. In this post, we are going to touch on three key elements that every wedding will need. These are things like the ring. Pretty clear that is a must have item. Then there is a wedding dress. Don’t get married without one. And how are you going to get to the wedding? Catch a bus? We don’t think that’s a very good idea so we’d also like to talk about wedding cars and how to choose a good one. There – so that’s the basic idea. Getting married. Wonder who first thought that one up. Whoever it was has created a pretty much ongoing trend of going over the top to provide the best wedding experience possible. Well, okay, so not every wedding subscribes to that idea. And just as well too. First to the wedding ring. There are several different schools of thought on wedding rings. Many people like as big and bold and glamorous a wedding ring as poss...

Celebrating a wedding and celebrating it right!

  When we think of a wedding ceremony, many people think of the classic and timeless image of a church wedding, bride wearing a gorgeous white wedding dress with flowing train. She is attended by her bridesmaids, flower girls and other attendees. She makes her entrance into the church where the ceremony is to be held, groom waiting at the altar. His best man and others wait with him, often somewhat nervous. A priest or minister is close by, ready to say the solemn vows that confirm the newlyweds matrimonial status. It all sounds so very formal. So scripted. And all so yesterday. While its true that many people still opt for this style of wedding, its also completely fair to say that today there are many different styles of wedding and marriage ceremonies. And they don’t always involve formal situations or in truth, Priests. This post is about some of the many different styles a modern wedding can take, and the different types of officiant available. It’s set in Queensland, so h...

Waste - its so unusual

  Waste is an unusual thing to blog about. Unusual because it’s not something many people often discuss. Sure, we talk about sustainability, and recycling but the very word waste conjures up unpleasant connotations. Images of grime and dirt, something no one wants, so it is thrown away into a bin, put in a big noisy smelly truck in the middle of the night and put in a hole in the middle of nowhere while no one is watching. Then covered up, out of site, out of mind. That is how we humans have handled waste, at least for the last fifty years or so. We could have been doing things differently. It is absolutely fairy to say that we should be doing things very differently. Here is what I mean. True sustainability relies on using only what we need, so there are not many byproducts – or waste – left over. And even those leftover parts have uses in many cases. A good example today is restaurant food waste. Our portion sizes are huge, by historic standards. And so leftover food gets ...
