Wanted to write a quick note about the amazing photos at the top of our blog. The two bouquets were created by Carrie Lynn Weber, the amazing designer that she is (http://www.kwweddingring.ca/vendors/florists/carrielynnweber.html). The bride running on the beach is a photo by Photography by Yvonne (http://www.londonweddingring.ca/vendors/photographers/yvonnelong.html) who I’ve had the pleasure of working with for about eight years now, both at weddings and through her review in The Ring.

Okay, so we just sent The Ring’s first official magazine to print. We’re supposed to be getting a few samples today but I’m not holding my breath. Okay I am. And vibrating just a  little bit.

Somehow, thanks to some in-house talent (Ryann, you’re a god!), Anne (no one can do as many magazine meetings in two weeks as you can!) amazing brides (you know who you are – Alicia, our firefighter wedding story couple & more) and vendors who are always willing to pitch in at the last minute, the magazine was booked, written, laid out, and sent to print in less than two weeks.

Now we’re waiting… I’m not very good at that.

Jessie Thomas of Bride2Bead has proved once and for all, even your cake can wear a tiara… This custom designed sparkly cake topper definitely ranks among my favourite cake accessory ideas. Her site is www.bride2bead.com if you want to see more.

Calling all brides (and vendors and otherwise cool wedding people)…

Everyone at The Ring has decided to invite brides to contribute their own tips and articles to The Ring. We want as many first-hand stories and tips as brides (or vendors) can handle writing about. If you’re a bride or vendor in the wedding industry between London and Toronto, Ontario, send in your first article

It’s official… I am ‘blogging’. And I’m told, it’s about time!

In my little foray into the world of online commentary, I hope to use this power for good. In this Editor Blog, I’m hoping to share some of my favourite weddings things, shows, news, events and vents and the odd wedding planning secret or two, as picked up from our experts - brides and vendors.

If you have any cool stories, links, or feedback, don’t hesitate to send them in.
