A NUTCRACKER SUITE THEMED WEDDING!

What doesn't absolutely scream Winter Wedding other than a Nutcracker Suite themed wedding? This Planner got so excited over this theme that she had to do not one, but two inspiration boards!

Whether it's focusing on sweet feminism of the Sugar Plum Fairy or the handsome toy soldier qualities of the Nutcracker, this theme will surely give a wedding that whimsical feel while transporting many of its guests back to childhood. Add in a "sugar plum" sweet station, nutcracker favours and a ballet performance for entertainment and you have a wedding that brings out the most magical elements of the holidays and sparkles all night long!

CUSTOM-DESIGNED SHIRTS FOR THAT GUY WHO'S PICKY

Photos courtesy of Shirts My Way

Let's face it -- dress shirt shopping for a guy is almost as difficult as dress shopping for a girl. It has to look right, feel right and compliment our personal styles, not to mention that it has to match our accessories. Right?

And when it comes to a life celebration, no ordinary shirt will do with that suit! Especially if it has to match a specific colour scheme for a wedding.

Well gentlemen, look no further! Shirts My Way provides a unique service in which you can customize and design your very own shirt. Shirts My Way offers -- get this -- 7 Trillion unique design variations for your shirt! You select every detail from the fabric, cut and buttons to the collar style and thread. You can even add a monogram to your shirt!



The design and tailoring features on the site as well as Standard worldwide shipping are completely free and the cost of your shirt will depend on the premium fabric that you choose (although typically you are looking at approx. $65 US and up).



Kind of tosses out the classic excuse "I have nothing to wear" now doesn't it?

Choosing that perfect cake for your celebration -- whether it be a wedding, birthday, anniversary or any life celebration -- is a delicate balance of beautiful design and impeccable taste. And if it's a tiered work of art that you want...well... you can't trust something as complex and elaborate as that to Aunt Betty to make (no offense Aunt Betty!)

Here are just a few more of this Planner's fave cake designers that treat cake design (and other confectioneries) like the true art that it is!

BLOWN RECYCLED-BOTTLE SHOT GLASSES
FOR THE MEN ON YOUR TEAM!

Flasks, pocket-watches...so passe! For a Groom, finding the perfect "Thank You" gift for his boys is no easy task! Heck, finding a suave and original gift for a guy is a difficult undertaking period!

While it's true that engraved shot glasses are nothing new, these shot glasses for 'da boyz' are incredibly different (not to mention super cool AND Eco-friendly!). Created by Dean Wolf of Austin, Texas these shot glasses (from $15 US) are blown from melted Topo Chico Mineral Water Bottles and holds approximately one ounce of alcohol goodness.


For the Eco-conscious guy, these shot glasses were blown in a low-energy consumption 'hot-shop' which is powered in part by renewable wind energy and they ship to Canada using recyclable cardboard and 100% bio-degradable bubble wrap.


Picture a Groom and his team lined up at the bar on the Wedding Night with their very own super-cool personalized shot glasses, toasting to his new married status. Suave? Cool? Different?
Why yes, I think so!

WEDDING RINGS THAT ARE
UNIQUE AND EXTRAORDINARY!

Wedding rings and engagement rings are something that a couple will (hopefully!) wear for the rest of their lives. So needless to say the pressure is on when choosing a ring that suits your personality, style and -- let's face it -- budget! And gentlemen, this Planner feels for you because you have the most pressure on your shoulders when choosing that engagement ring!

Wedding rings are not just about 'bling'. They're a symbol of love and of two people committing their unique personalities to one another. That said, rather than focus on the 'bling' factor, why not choose a ring that fits this sentiment?

Of course you all know that this Planner is about all things unique and different and so here are just a few of our fave unique wedding rings!

Yellow Diamonds!

(Ok ok so we all know that yellow diamonds are WAY more expensive than white diamonds but this Planner is in love with the unique colour. And there are more affordable options like Yellow Sapphires and Citirnes that have the same sunshine beauty but without the cloudy price tag!)
