Money Saving Tip

When buying your wedding dress, never tell the sales associate your full budget. Quote her around 80% of your actual budget, you still need to pay for alterations, shoes, and accessories. You don't want a nasty surprise later, it is always better to plan ahead!!

Favorite Wedding Flowers

Orchids- My absolute favorite.
Exotic. Elegant.
They can run on the expensive side, but their hardiness really makes up for it. They do not require as much water as other flowers, making them a great idea for bouquets or boutonnieres. Available year round.














Rose
Timeless. Romantic.
Full bloom in summer, and available in so many varieties and colours. They do well in heat, and have a fragrant scent. Do not buy these guys near holidays, prices sky rocket.














Calla lilies
Sleek. Classic.
Available year round and hardy , they retain their moisture without a water source. I love seeing these flowers as a simple bridal bouquet with just one to three blooms, with the long green stem.












Gerbera Daisies
Fun. Youthful.
Versatile and colourful, these happy looking guys are easy to handle, and can be used in a bouquet or as a centerpiece. Most importantly they won't bust your budget.

Out of the whole BHLDN line I'm most impressed with their bridesmaid dress' A girl could wear these beautiful creations more than once, I would!

Anthropologie's BHLDN wedding line



The best word that I can use to describe the line is romantic, simply romantic. It has a soft dream like quality throughout, with a vintage flair.


My personal favorites: Bridal gowns


What I love: The colour, the beautiful detailing, and the soft arm coverings.
Price: $2600.00








































What I love: How bubbly and airy it looks, makes me think of blowing a bubble of gum, also love the detailing on top.
Price: $1800.00


































What I love: This one really grew on me, at first It didn't catch my eye, but now I love it from head to toe! It may be too conservative for some, but I'm a definite fan of its understated style.
Price: $600.00

My first post: The introduction.

So I have joined the blogger bandwagon. I hope you find something to enjoy!

First I should introduce myself.
Chelsea Linton "wedding planner extraordinaire" .....at least that's the end goal :)
I am a recently WPIC certified wedding planner serving the Lower Mainland BC, Canada. Working my very first season. I hope that with growing my business and this blog I will provide couples with insightful information.
Choosing wedding planning as a full time career was very natural. I always had a love for planning meticulously, I adore researching endlessly, and I have a true passion for pleasing others. Sure with those qualities I could have chosen many other careers, but let's be honest creating a onetime event that creates incredible memories for life is absolutely irresistible.


Enough about me, let's get to the goods! I'm very excited about my next topic. Anthropologie's new wedding line "BHLDN" 

Stay posted!
