Be Marry.





Wedding season has officially arrived. We have seen an increase in bridal groups visiting our store and we get to hear all the great details of their big day. With that in mind we have decided to share some great and creative details.

To begin we thought we would start with the most important element a wedding coordinator. Our fav is Victoria Canada Weddings and events. Not only do we get to pamper her feet at Sundrops, but our owner Stephanie worked closely with her only a few short months ago. Victoria's motto: Do it Big, Do it Right, and Do it in style sums up the great team at Bright event gallery.


Victoria, Kelly, and Katie get raving reviews not only from our boss but from several brides we speak to daily in Sundrops. What they all say, "we never could have done it (and survived)without them." They put together AhhhMAZING events. Their creativity and hard work make the most beautiful events. Check them out at http://www.abrightevent.com/



Our next topic, Bridesmaids gifts. With the bridesmaids day comes bridesmaids gifts. We will share with you the best gifts and most creative we have seen. For formal gifting, a beautiful pashmina and pearl earrings. So classic and soo Breakfast At Tiffany's. For the informal gifting, bridal collection nail polish. With names like True Love, Blushing Bride, and Happily Ever After, these colors are timeless and what a perfect way to suddenly tell the ladies that these are the colors they will be using. The most creative gift idea we have seen...was a personalized make-up bag for each bridesmaid. The kit included make-up to match each skin tone that each woman could use on the day of for touch-ups. So great and so cute!

Our final bit of wedding advise, nail polish for the big day. The day before your wedding is a stressful day and getting your mani and pedi should not be stressful. Something as simple as nail polish has brought brides to tears at Sundrops. We have a few pointers for all you brides out there.

1. Purchase the polish. Having your color with you will save you stress on your wedding day if the color happens to chip.

2. Ivory dresses (i.e. Monique Ihullier). You don't have to wear an ivory color on your nails. It makes your hands look older. Choose a sheer pink like Mademoiselle or Hi Maintence by Essie. They work with every skin tone and look lovely in pictures.

3. Classic white dresses. Frosted pink nail polishes look great against a bright white dress. It sounds very 80's but it looks rich and glossy in professional photographs. Choose something like Pistol Packin' Pink by OPI
