Tradition unmasked Bridesmaids Dresses: In earliest traditions, the bridesmaids were dressed
in dresses often similar to that of the bride’s dress. This is because the bride believed the “look-alike� bridesmaids would distract negative spirits from bringing harm or bad luck to the new marriage.
Petals & Perks Display
Tradition unmasked Bridesmaids Shoes: An old tradition states: the morning of the wedding each bridesmaid can sign her name on the bottom of the bride’s shoe. After a night of dancing and socializing at the reception, whichever name has not worn off the bride’s shoes will be the next of your maids to get married!

Tipping - Why? All too soon a couple sets up a budget for their wedding but forgets one key item, TIPPING! Although it is not always required, remember each of your vendors is working as hard as they can to pull off the wedding of your dreams. If you feel that they succeeded, tipping can be a great way to show your gratitude. Below is a list of potential vendors you may book and keys to proper tipping etiquette! HOW MUCH? PLANNER

Tip: Remember to check your contract! Some vendors will include an optional gratuity or simply add a tip to your bill. If you are paying a tip in your contract, do not feel as though you need to additionally tip unless you desire to. Tip: Plan your tipping ahead of time. Compile envelopes labeled for each individual vendor and allot a tipping amount before the wedding day begins. Put these envelopes in the care of either your event planner or the best man and they can distribute the envelopes to the proper vendor. This leaves the tipping taken care of and out of the minds of the couple!
Remember: a grateful spirit and a genuine thank you note go a long way, too!
Tradition unmasked Bridesmaids Ring: Ancient Romans began the tradition of wearing
the wedding band on the “ring finger�. This is because they believed this finger to have a vein running through it that flows straight to the heart.
Signature Event Consulting Display
Tradition unmasked The bouquet toss: Centuries ago, a bride was thought to be a woman of
great fortune. Even her clothing would bring good luck to anyone who obtained it. This caused a problem because onlookers of the ceremony would get so crazed trying to obtain this good luck that they might even tear pieces of the dress off of the bride. To create a method of self-protection and an escape from being attacked by these women, the bride decided to carry things with her such as fruit, flowers, and herbs which she could toss in the event she needed to get out of a sticky situation.
