I've looked at Barbie's past wedding dresses (did her and Ken really get married every year?!) it's amazing how much detail the designers paid to the gowns and later on even the backdrops! Enjoy the photos.

Invitations 101
With all of your planning ahead of you this year, make sure to leave enough time for your invitations. I custom create all of my invitations with your wedding in mind.
Using beautiful paper and being able to choose from a graphics gallery of over 800 images gives us a great starting point to make your wedding stationery unique and glamorous.
The process typically starts with an initial consultation that helps us learn more about you and your plans – I’ll ask you about your wedding colours, venue, décor, etc. to get a feel for your style and what might suit your needs best. We’ll also discuss your specific invitation and paper needs ie. how many Invitations, RSVP cards or postcards, Thank You cards etc. including your budget. Based on your feedback, I will e-mail you with 2-4 design ideas with specific estimates for each idea in a PDF format.
The entire process, from the initial consultation to delivery of your invitations, usually takes about 8 weeks, but can be sped up or slowed down depending on your individual needs.
Below is a photo of an invitation I designed for Stephen and Pamela in 2008. We always try to remind the brides and grooms to take photos of your invitations on your wedding day. Give one to your Maid of Honour before the wedding day to give to your Photographer, this photo is a great way to start off your photo album.
If you have any questions or would like to contact me, email me any time! Check out the stationery gallery on our website and I have many more designs in my portfolio for when we meet.

The wedding movie season...
Well along with everyone planning their weddings, this is the time we start to see all of the wedding themed movies.
In May of 2008 it was Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey. I haven't seen this movie, I'm more of the Wedding Crashers type of movie gal, Jen saw it and her review was it was a good movie.
Jen's cake rating is: 4 Wedding Cakes out of 5.
2009 started us off with an early wedding movie release Bride Wars, starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway on January 9th. It's a movie about two best friends become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day. Again I didn't waste my popcorn on this movie... But Jen our ever-going movie reviewer went and said, "it had some funny moments, and some nice moments, but the ending was awful. And it was all very predictable. It was one of those movies that everything you saw on the commercials were the best parts of the movie." Jen's cake rating is: 2 Wedding Cakes out of 5.
There are two others I can find so far that are coming out this year. The first one, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, scheduled release date is May 1st. It isn't a wedding driven movie but from the preview there are a few weddings in the movie! Starring Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey, it takes on A Christmas Carol kind of story telling.
Here's a quick overview from www.themovieinsider.com
Celebrity photographer Connor Mead loves freedom, fun and women...in that order. A committed bachelor who thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call, Connor's mockery of romance proves a real buzz-kill for his kid brother, Paul, and a houseful of well wishers on the eve of Paul's wedding. Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly ruin the wedding, he is visited by the ghosts of his former jilted girlfriends, who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through his failed relationships--past, present and future. Together they attempt to find out what turned Connor into such an insensitive jerk and whether there is still hope for him to find true love...or if he really is the lost cause everyone thinks he is.
I'm crossing my fingers that it's not as cliche as the preview looks. Girl liked boy, girl hates boy, girl takes back boy... Well, I may not see it in the theatres but I will rent it. It looks like it will have some funny moments! I'll give it an advanced cake rating of 3 Wedding Cakes out of 5.
The one I am looking forward to is The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, scheduled release date is June 12th.
Here's a quick overview from www.themovieinsider.com
"When high-powered book editor Margaret (Sandra Bullock) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she’s actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who she’s tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, Betty White) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences."
This movie will get me to the theatre. 1. These two look like comedy gold, and Ryan is not only a yummy guy to watch when you're not getting married, but he's so funny, if you haven't seen Just Friends rent it! 2. Betty White is in the movie, enough said. 3. Sandra Bullock is playing a Canadian who wants to stay working in America, Ryan Renolds in real life is a Canadian working in America. I'm going to go out on a limb and give a pre-cake review of 4.5 cakes out of 5. I'll revisit this after I see the movie in June!
Anyway, enjoy the movies and take a break while planning your wedding this year you deserve it!

SIAN AND BRAD
SIAN + BRAD | JANUARY 3, 2009
Well it was a winter wonderland the day of Sian and Brad's wedding in Langley. The best thing was that both the ceremony and reception were held at the Fort Langley Golf Course, so even though the snow was falling outside everyone was warm and cozy inside.
This was a beautiful wedding to start our year off, the love was in the air and Sian and Brad were pure joy to photograph. We hope they were able to escape the next day to Mexico and get a tan for all of us here! We want to wish you and your family many, many years of happiness.
