This is the time of year when everyone is thinking about planning their wedding.  If you’re thinking about something at the beach, or something outdoors, you need some original ideas.  We came across the Bridal Affairs Blog and we just had to share it with you!  The blog is written by an actual, honest-to-goodness wedding planner.  And she’s more than willing to share all of her excellent ideas with her readers!

We were initially drawn in by her post about Brides Against Breast Cancer.  She told us all about a fashion show at a Bloomingdale’s in Chestnut Hill, MA.  Breast cancer survivors ranging in ages from 24-54 participated in the show by modeling dresses from the famous Kleinfeld’s in NYC.  (If you’ve seen Say Yes to the Dress, then you know what we’re talking about.)  The organization Brides Against Breast Cancer accepts donations of used wedding dresses for breast cancer survivors.  We were so moved by this that we’d urge you to consider donating to the cause after your big day!  Help someone else have a big day of their own.

Go check out the Bridal Affairs Blog.  It certainly is, to use the old cliché, an affair to remember!

Every once in a while we here at FavorWarehouse.com like to point out other fun and funky wedding blogs.  After all, you can’t be too inspired!  We were thrilled when we came across the Customized Wedding Creations Blog.  Customized Wedding Creations does, as the name implies, customized aisle runners, table runners, drapes, and parasols.  They even give you the option to customize your fabric!  Are you imagining a wedding with a leopard print aisle runner?  Well, they can do that.

We were really struck by their newest creation:  rhinestone banding.  Basically, this is five sparkly rows of rhinestones that you can have placed on the edge of any of their custom products.   They say that this rhinestone banding will offer the “most bling yet!”  Check it out.  Customized Wedding Creations will be running a contest for the banding sometime in the next month, so keep your eyes peeled!

Customized Wedding Creations makes getting ideas for your wedding really simple.  They scour Etsy (it’s an awesome crafting website, if you’re not familiar) for vendors with neat DIY wedding crafts, and create “treasuries” for their readers.  It’s a great place to go and get lost in your wedding planning!
