Thursday Trends | Dogs and family pets in Weddings | And introducing Matisse :)

Todays post is for the dogs! LOL! NO really its all about dogs, cats and pets in weddings. They are family too after all. SO many brides and grooms are choosing to include their family pets in their ceremony and weddings and I say why not! I love my little new addition and if I had him then I would have totally included him. But more on my little new pup later, back to the cute picts. The photos do make such amazing memories and of course puppies always are so photogenic ;)  So ladies, what do you think, I know so cute right? Are you going to include your four legged friend in your wedding?

And now.... the inspiration for this post... MATISSE, our new addition to the Lela New York family.
I love him so! He's a little mutt and is full of spunk and LOVE! Enjoy the picts!

What do you think? Will this relaxation drink be the new alternative to hyped up energy drinks? Are you ready to Just Chill?!

Thursday Trends | Selling Your Wedding Dress

Nowadays many brides are deciding to sell their wedding dress after the big "I do". There are many factors to consider when debating on whether you should or should not sell your wedding dress..what do you think? If you decide to you keep your dress after your wedding, you have a beautiful, sentimental memento of your wedding day.  It represents the style of your wedding and can be a constant reminder of that special day...but keep in mind all the expense that goes to upkeep and preservation of your dress.  You will also have to store it in a safe and dry place, and do you think your daughter will really want to wear your dress on her special day? Did you?! Selling your wedding dress is an alternative and even though it may be tough to part with your "dream dress", you aren't loosing the specialness of your wedding day. While most likely you will not get back exactly what you payed for your dress, it will definitely help to offset the original cost! If selling your wedding dress is an option for you, there are many sites that can list your dress such as Once Wed, Bravo Bride, and Preowned.  A wedding dress is way to beautiful to sit in a box for years and years stored away, when you can share your happiness with another bride!

Lela Tip: If you plan on selling your wedding dress, start right away by posting a description of your dress and the date it will be available after your wedding!

Thursday Trends | Caught On Film | Wedding Video Proposals

There are so many different elements to consider when planning a wedding proposal. Creativity, uniqueness, romance, personality, should it be done in front of friends and family, or is better to be intimate and alone? I wanted to share with all of you the fun and cute trend of video proposals. Catching the proposal on film, is a great way to capture the true emotion of such a special moment and allows you to share with others afterwards! Below are some top favorites...each one has a different style and approach to popping the question. What do you think? Which is your favorite?
Would you say yes to a unexpected choreographed dance routine, or would you prefer a more professional scenario like hiring proposal planner, Sarah Pease? She created the last video, Josh & Mandy's cooking class wedding proposal. Aren't these cute?
