The Weather on Your Wedding Day

A year of hard work, planning, emotions, lots of money spent and tons of excitement and the only thing you can't control out of all of this is the weather on your big day!

Emotions are high on this special day and the last thing you want is a torrential downpour just as you are about to walk down the aisle.

My best advice is to have back up plans for your back up plans.

Here at Wooden Sticks, we have a tented Pavilion a few steps away from our outdoor ceremony location. Many Saturday afternoons have been spent moving white chairs from the threat of rain outside to the comfort of the indoor structure. The tent allows you to be under the cover of a roof while gazing out the large windows at the garden view outdoors.

The biggest thing to remember is that you are marrying your true love!

Don't sweat all the details, especially the ones you can't control.

NEW Patio Furniture!





Finally the weather has decided to start acting like summer so we can show off our new patio furniture!!!




It is beautiful and comfortable. Two things that don't usually go together :)




We have sectional couches, lounge chairs, dining areas, coffee tables and big comfy cushions.




They've been a hit at wedding receptions and golf tournaments so far!



Come out and have a beer, enjoy the sunshine and the view!!!

Nothing like a Royal Wedding!


It's been 5 days and I'm still re-cooperating from the 3:30 am morning on April 29th. I slept on the couch so when my alarm went off in the wee hours I would only have to open my eyes! No moving necessary.



I was asked by a local bridal magazine - Beautiful Beginnings - to share my insight on the Royal trends that would emerge from the event so it was important that I watch from the moment guests arrived.



Love, love, love the fascinators or cocktail hats! I may event sport one myself at the next wedding I attend! Definitely not like the Mickey Mouse ears Princess Beatrice wore though!






I am also a huge fan of the morning coat. So classy!!


I can't explain the feeling I got watching the entire series of events. I was awake until 9:30 am - 6 full hours of Royal coverage. I watched everything from the guests entering to the kiss on the balcony at Buckingham Palace. I'm not sure if it's because of my profession or because I just got married but I felt a kinship with Kate. Weird? I know. I can't explain it. I just felt so overwhelmed for her! I cannot imagine what she was feeling that day. Drawing from my experience I know the emotions and stree that flood you at every moment of the day. Can you imagine your wedding being broadcast around the world??? Everyone waiting to see your dress, hair, flowers etc. etc. AHHHHH! It stresses me out just thinking about it!!!




Definitely something I do not regret losing sleep over. I am thrilled that now in 20 years I can tell my kids about Wills and Kate's wedding just like my mom does with Charles and Diana's!
