A Perfect Ten for The Wedding Co.

Congratulations to The Wedding Co. for their 10th anniversary. They pulled off yet another fantastic wedding show. I had a great time munching on and admiring the most delightful cakes, seeing the coolest invitations, dresses, decor and celebrating their big 10 with them.

More show highlights to follow. For now here’s a little teaser of some show snaps:

Pulling off a great first dance

I was inspired by this beautiful first dance I saw on YouTube and decided to take some dancing lessons with the fiancée. Mr. B is a natural athlete, he picked up my sports very quickly when we started dating (scoring him some major bonus points). Dancing wasn’t so much his thing, but you know what, we had a lot of fun together during our lessons, and I truly appreciate how he is gamed for anything.

We asked our instructors, the dance experts at Dance Art Studio to help couples select a dance style to suit their latest contemporary wedding first dance songs. Got a song you want to ask about? Drop us a note (briderella at gmail.com) and we’ll let you know!
