Winter Brides: This One's for You!

Hello all you Winter brides! With "wedding season" upon us, we wouldn't want you to think we've forgotten about your needs! Off season brides deserve just as much attention as all those summer/in season brides!! Enjoy some amateur pics from Barry & Laura's wedding which took place on a lovely sunny, snowy day in Ottawa this past February.

Look to places like Michael's for great DIY toss bouquet design ideas!

These jingle bells were a great way to make the couple smooch! Small seasonal details can really add a subtle touch to the occasion but be careful...blow up Santa's and the Easter Bunny may be a little much at your nuptials.


Lanterns give off a gorgeous light and can provide a romantic feel to any room. In fact, maybe you should sneak one of these puppies back to the honeymoon suite ;) Laura decided to capitalize on the seasonal fruits by adding a splash of color to the lanterns with cranberries and a decorative wreath.

Just because everyone uses flowers in a bridal bouquet doesn't mean you have to, especially if they're out of season. Save yourself the money and be creative, girl! Again, we heart Michael's!

Altar pieces can present an issue and are typically the first thing cut from the floral budget. Think outside the box. Having an altar piece that ties together other elements of your wedding are a great idea. Another option for Laura, could have been big mason jars filled with the same cranberries as the lanterns. Add some lit pillar candles and voila! A cheaper solution to the standard vase with flowers.
