Spring is finally here (and so is the spring rain, haha) which has made me reflect on a some past spring weddings, one being the amazing wedding of LeeAnn and Brad who had their wedding Luncheon and Reception here at The Canterbury Place just a few years ago. They were such an adorable couple and SO much fun to plan with! She chose the colors Red and Black which typically aren’t “Spring” colors but it just goes to show that you can pick the colors you love regardless of the time of year! Thanks to Lyndsay Jane Photography who did an amazing job capturing the details of their special day and sharing the pictures with us. I think the “love” is in the details and I feel extra lucky I get to plan these details with many of my brides. From color palletes, flowers arrangements, centerpieces, wedding favors… I love planning it all! The wedding day can go by so fast so I am a big believer that brides should “enjoy the journey” of planning. It’s a once in a lifetime experience!! Enjoy…

Spring is upon us (hooray!) which makes me flash back to some of my favorite weddings of last year, one of them being the wedding of Kim & Dallin. They were truly such a FUN couple to plan with and I knew from the start they were going to have a FUN wedding! Every detail came together perfectly… they had a yellow and grey color scheme (so Fresh & Modern) which included all kinds of details from a hand carved cake topper from etsy, fun yellow flower and shoe details, and a thumb print guest book which the couple framed to hand on their wall. I am all about creativity and this couple nailed it! As usual, thanks to the ever so talented Chad with Faces Photography who captured the essence of their day perfectly. Their wedding was even featured in a national blog which you can check out… http://www.labellebride.com/2011/10/12/rustic-yellow-wedding-style/
I am so excited to finally blog a wedding we had here at The Canterbury Place last December. They were such an amazing couple to plan with so I am also excited to share Piper & John’s special love story….
To give you an inside scoop about how the couple met….
Addison and Jenna met on their missions in Birmingham, Alabama. They served in the same area for 6 months and became really good friends. She got home a month after he did and then her mom invited him to her homecoming on Facebook (don’t you love the new erra of realtionships stemming from Facebook? It’s amazing). He luckily showed up and the rest is history!
April is almost here and I am getting excited as I see all the tulips and flowers starting to bloom in our garden here at The Canterbury Place! I am getting so excited for the spring and summer months (wedding season is soon upon us!), so I thought it would be a perfect time for me to show off an amazing wedding we hosted here last April for an equally amazing couple Rob and Lisa! Like many couples these days, they lived out of town so most of the planning was done via email and phone conversations. This can sometimes add an extra challenge, but their wedding proves that with a great team, you can plan a gorgeous wedding and still have fun doing it! I think Lisa says it best… “I wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience we had at Canterbury Place. Planning a wedding from out of state – while fun – was pretty stressful, but you made it easy. Everything was absolutely beautiful and our friends said they have never been to a more fun and stunning wedding. Please tell everyone there thank you for making our day so special!” I had such so much FUN planning with Lisa (plus I have to mention how incredibly organized she was) so hearing her words is like icing on the cake! Speaking of cake, make sure to check out their incredible wedding cake made by Julie Hill with Layers (possibly one of my favorites of all time)….
For all of you who missed out on the bridal fair this year, here are some Pictures to show it off! I went with a “Rustic Elegant” theme using “woodsy” elements including branches and wood stumps and I used copper, mossy green, peaches and ivory colors for the color scheme. It turned out feeling very warm and elegant! RSVP rentals let us show off their amazing wood table which we decorated as a Mock for a set dinner and we alos had the idea to hang branches from our cake arch and grid with lanterns. I couldn’t have been happier at how it all turned out! The florals were done by our ALWAYS amazing in house florist Stacie with La Belle Fleur and the cake was done by Kim with Dreamy Cakes. I also want to give a shout out to one of our new preffered Photographers Chad with Faces for these amazing pictures he shared.
I can’t help but to show off an AMAZING photo shoot designed by one of our preffered vendors Polka Dots & Daisies and one of our past Florists Amanda with Branches Floral. They were featured in a national blog, and I can see why… the pictures are absolutely breathtaking!! I love the theme and feel to all of this.

I believe this is the year of going “natural” and is in fact the theme I am going with for next years bridal show. I am calling it Rustic Elegance. Put it on your calendars January 28th!! I truly can’t wait to see this theme “come alive” in our beautiful Tuscan building.
One of the most common questions I receive as a Utah wedding planner is what music to use for a ceremony? My first answer to this is to choose music that is special to you as a couple because this is what makes your day memorable. Music sets the tone and mood for your wedding ceremony and allows you to express your feelings for each other so don’t be afraid to be creative. But if narrowing down the selection is still posing a challenge, here are some suggestions for you:
When you are planning your wedding day, there are lots of things to consider as far as the timeline goes. Every Utah bride has a list of the things she wants to do, including the traditions like cutting the cake, the first dance, etc. Brides are often at a loss, however, as to when they should do what! So here are some recommendations based on our experience here at The Canterbury Place:
Registries are no longer about china patterns and gravy boats. More and more couples are throwing expectations to the wind and are registering with retailers that reflect their lifestyle more than their Tupperware drawer. While it’s your big day, it’s important to consider your guests while putting together your gift registry. Here are some registry ideas and common registry etiquette to help you along the way.
