News from Niagara 1

We have a new location in the Niagara region which has caused great excitement in the office! It is a Little Log Cabin.



Is that not just the cutest thing you've ever seen? So typically Canadian. AND it's a bit like the Tardis - small on the outside but room for 10 on the inside! It has been purpose built (so has underfloor heating for the winter and air conditioning for the summer) using a mix of new and reclaimed lumber. The floor and the door are from a cottage that originally stood on the property. It's off the beaten track, next to a creek and is very tranquil. The owners have been photographers in the region for many years and saw the need for somewhere like this to hold a ceremony whilst being near to all the major attractions of the area - their creek runs into the Niagara River and on to the Falls. Ceremonies here start from $1987.35 which includes a Wedding Co-ordinator, cabin rental, the Officiant to conduct a personalised ceremony, a bouquet and buttonhole, transportation to and from the cabin (from hotels in Niagara Falls), 2 Witnesses and photography (6 digital images so that you can make your own prints).

There are all sorts of extras including the chance to have your ceremony video'd or a Skype connection so the folks back home don't miss out!

The Little Log Cabin operates throughout the year but is closed on Sunday throughout the Summer and Fall.















Even Santa decided to visit!

Fab new find!

I'm not sure how many blogs/sites my readers follow, but my inbox is always full of updates. Sometimes they get a cursory glance before the dustbin but at other times, something catches my attention and I spend time looking through the blog/site and every now and then I find a gem. Again, I'm not sure how far my readers will go for something that takes their fancy but I buy from Internet sites in Europe and North America quite regularly. Yes, the delivery is more than it would be from a UK site but when I find something I love, I always weigh up buying a similar product with a cheaper delivery or the one that originally caught my eye. I feel I will always know that I went for second best ... (I do hope my husband isn't reading this!)

So I have a fab new find. It's called Pressed Cotton and they sell goods for gatherings! The website immediately appealed to me. I love the strap line on the home page: shop for your wedding .use for your home. Organised by style or category or products, the style headings are so evocative - Southerner, Explorer, Daydreamer, Gardener, Romantic, Eclectic, Modernist, Treehugger and Inventor. How could a treehugging, daydreaming, romantic gardener with a penchant for exploring and with an eclectic, modernist daughter NOT fall for this site?

I've chosen my favourite images from the site but PLEASE do have a look for yourself.

On from yesterday

I almost didn't post yesterday's blog as I felt it was missing something. Realised in the middle of the night that it needed some wedding atmosphere to go with it! Because when I went, the day was not a sunny summer's day, I still have quite haunting images of the lake so I decided to show you two styled shoots that fit that feel. Ironically they were both shot in the UK - in Northern Ireland and Cornwall but never-the-less, they translate well. The first is from Paula O'Hara

And just so you know - no animals were harmed in the creation of this shoot – they are well cared for at the Feadon Farm wildlife center, part of the luxury holiday lodge resort, Gwel an Mor where this photoshoot took place.

I hope you get the feel and the images didn't make you feel too chilled!
