An Introduction

]]> I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Linette, and I’ve been writing here at Splendicity Weddings for a couple weeks now, but I never really said hello. I’ve been around bridal shops, and weddings for most of my life, so I can’t wait to share my wedding info here with all of you.

I also write about weddings at Blisstree’s Our One Heart, and about party planning and entertaining at She Knows Parties, and planning children’s parties at The Kid’s Birthday Fun Review.

I have the opportunity to attend several wedding shows, and expos every year. So I hope to share all the fun stuff I see and learn there, along with wedding fashions and anything else I find along the way.

I love entertaining and taking my own photos, so I hope to have plenty of great wedding fun to share in the upcoming weeks.

Tiananmen Wedding

]]> Chinese Paramilitary officers had a mass wedding in Tiananmen Square in Beijing on Saturday. The sheer size of the event made it a sight to behold.

All the brides wore white, Western-style gowns, and all the men wore their uniforms. I love this shot with the colorful confetti.

At the end of the ceremony, the grooms carried their new wives on their backs.

Wrong time to make a joke about your lady’s eating habits, guy! Seriously, though, doesn’t she look a little irritated with him?

]]> Want to see a few more pictures from my wedding?

I’ve talked about my collection of vintage porcelain pins before…

And how to stop strapless sandals from flapping as you wear them…

I think I’ve even mentioned that I love designing jewelry?

Here it is in action :-)

vintage pins as hair accessories

]]> When my mother was married, my grandmother (her mother in-law to be) loaned her a porcelain flower brooch to wear in her hair.  Now that I’m engaged, I wanted to wear the same pin that my mother did, and my grandmother before her.There  was one small problem.

My Nana couldn’t find the pin.  She looked all over her house.  My aunt looked all over her house.  My parents even looked all over Nana’s house.

And no pin.

“Oh well” I thought, I’m sure I can find more.  So I started building up my own collection of porcelain flowers to wear.

And then, Nana found the pin!  So I now have enough flowers to wear in my hair, as well as share with my bridesmaids.

It’s a little unusual to wear brooches in your hair, but I love the way they look – just be careful & don’t poke yourself!

ideas for weddings

]]> I’m thrilled to be getting married this summer, and of course, wanted to do something a little different for my bridesmaids.  Instead of going with the traditional “everyone in the same dress”, I asked my bridesmaids to choose their own dress patterns.  Everyone will have the same fabric for the dresses and I found some gorgeous sheer printed organza to make shawls out of.

I wanted to share my floral brooches with my friends, and decided on this look:

Because I want to remain friends with my bridesmaids after my wedding, I felt it was better to give everyone as much choice as possible!  So… we’re also going with this as well:

porcelain pansy on shawl

Chocolate brown dresses with blue or green shawls & cool-toned vintage porcelain pins.  Unique & very feminine!  Oh no, I still need to figure out the rest of the jewelery for my girls :-)
