Eye Candy Galore – Beautiful Brooch Bouquets

For most couples, the bridal bouquet is considered a wedding day staple but what happens if you, or your fiancé, have an allergy to beautiful blooms?  Or maybe you just want to wow your guests by taking an unexpected yet personalized approach with your bouquet? Whatever your reason, I say no problem! From feathers to paper to ribbons, there are so many chic options that are not only gorgeous but also truly unique and one-of-a-kind. Oh and let’s not forget a favourite around here, the brooch bouquet, which is easily customized to suit your theme and colours. Whether you treasure it forever as a keepsake (psst…use it later if you renew your vows!) or pass it down to the next bride in your family for that ‘something old,’ brooch bouquets are simply stunning and add that touch of elegant sparkle to your big day.

What’s in The Wedding Pixie’s Emergency Kit?

A good wedding planner will always be prepared and have a stock of emergency essentials ready to grab in a hurry. For a bride who didn’t have time to work in those gorgeous new shoes to a bridesmaid with a static cling problem or a groom about to lose a button on his suit, don’t worry! The Wedding Pixie’s got you covered 🙂 While I hope you don’t have any wedding day glitches, the truth is, I can’t count how many times I’ve had to use my emergency kit. It seems to be used in every wedding I’ve coordinated and is invaluable not only to me but also to you and your bridal party.

I searched for what seemed like forever before finding the 2 I carry around today. Yes, I have 2 and I absolutely love them! My main bag is bold with a pattern and has a strap so it can be brought everywhere I go with ease. What I love most is it’s small enough to be hidden under a table in the ballroom yet large enough to carry all the things I may need. Oh and the see-through zipper compartments for easy viewing are pretty awesome too!

My second emergency kit is worn under my suit jacket the entire day and is only meant to hold the items I use most – Kleenex, hair pins, safety pins, double-sided tape, band-aids. It’s my version of Batman’s Utility Belt 🙂

Emergency Bag Mini

While the list can go one and on, here are just some of the essentials found in my emergency kit:

Did you know?

Need a refresh? Evian Spray is one of my favourites and is a great product for the entire wedding party. For the ladies, it won’t ruin the makeup and can actually be used to touch it up right before pictures. I have even used it on a hot summer day for the bouquets and boutonnieres in need of pick up.

Advil and Tylenol each work differently on different people so for that reason, I carry both. One very important note to remember is while I can tell you I have it and can leave the bottle on a flat surface unopened; you will need to be the one to open the bottle to take it.

The purpose of hairspray may seem obvious but did you know it can also be used like static guard? That’s right, spray a little on the inside of the dress and you’re all set! No more static cling!

Confessions of a Wedding Pixie

Welcome to The Wedding Pixie Blog! I’m a newbie when it comes to this whole blogging thing but I’m so excited to get posting for what I hope will be your reading enjoyment! Since this is my first post, I thought I’d use it as a chance for you to get to know me alittle bit better. After all, if I’m going to help plan your wedding or next event, you need to get a sense of how our personalities would mesh.

Hopefully you’ve had a chance to “Meet the Pixie” because there you will find the basics like my name, yada yada yada and why I’m the perfect choice to be your Wedding Pixie! While it’s a great starting point, there’s so much more to this pixie that you should know. Without further a due, here are 10 random facts about moi or what I like to call, Confessions of a Wedding Pixie:

1. My favourite Disney character is Tinkerbell. She’s not only the inspiration behind the business name but I’ve nicknamed my car after her too – The Tink-Mobile

2. I spend wa-a-ay too much time on Pinterest and my 40 plus boards are proof of that. I do however, consider myself to be great at multi-tasking; I can eat, text, watch tv and pin…ALL at the same time! Ok, that might not be the greatest measure of multi-tasking but I’m pretty proud of that fact!

3. Although it’s quote from Audrey Hepburn, I think it represents me well:

“I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.  I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.  I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

4. Most days I’m up with the birds. Translation: I’m an early riser so you are more likely to find me awake at 6am then at 10pm

5. I’m not ashamed to admit that I still go to Backstreet Boys concerts; I have loved them since I was 13 and I’m not about to stop now! So you may not share my enthusiasm for keeping the Backstreet Pride alive and may even question my taste in music but hey, look at how loyal I can be!

6. The pigeons that like to perch on my balcony are my nemeses

7. My favourite wedding moment is the unforgettable expression on the groom’s face when he first sees his bride, radiant and beaming with happiness, walking down the aisle. For me, magic is created in this beautiful moment.

8. I can’t resist sprinkled donuts, vanilla cupcakes or sour cream and onion potatoe chips

9. Kate Middleton is my style icon

10. For the fans of the TV show FRIENDS, you will understand what I mean when I say I’m a total Monica. Even though I’m a Monica, my favourite friend is Ross. Why Ross? Remember the leather pants episode?! Or the one with his white teeth?! And who knew the word “PIVOT!” could be so hilarious!
