First Dance.....with a Twist!!!

Just Picture It.....

After agreeing to spend the rest of your life with THE love of your life, you start the evening off gazing lovingly into each others eyes, slowly rocking to Etta James' At Last. Yes, nothing is as perfect as it is right now. But Suddenly, the music comes to a halt. Confusion ensues......Then, everyone starts hearing some old school blast from the past on the loudspeaker. NO, this is not a wedding disaster. This is all apart of your plan to entertain your guests and let loose, as you perform a high energy choreographed number or simply just wing it!


Does the above scenario sound familiar? It should. This is a growing trend at weddings all over the U.S. and it's all the rage!!! We've all seen the youtube videos of various couples' twist on the traditional First Dance. You've probably witnessed a few of these at weddings yourself. This is definitely not your mom's wedding (unless she was way before her time). Couples are veering from the typical 'hug and sway' and making their first dance uniquely their own. Sometimes they even include their wedding party. It's all about showing your personality, entertaining your guests, but most importantly just having fun with each other in the moment.

So, this sounds like something you want to incorporate in your upcoming wedding. But where do you even begin? You're no dancing aficionado. The only dance moves you've got are the robot and the cabbage patch. No Problem!! You have two options:

1. Just Wing It. This is your big day. It's all about you and your love having fun and enjoying yourselves. Your Wedding is a big party, so dance like you would at any other: be carefree. Who cares if you don't have the best moves. As long as you're enjoying yourselves, so will your guests.

2. Get a Dance Instructor. This is the route many have taken. Just go to the nearest dance studio and they'll choreograph a dance that represents you as a couple. So what are you waiting for? Go and contact a dance studio, in your area!

And as we sign off, we'll leave you with two videos that may give you some inspiration. And remember, Just Have Fun!!!!

Bridal Show - Solution to the Engaged Couples' Headaches

He…or she just popped the question!!! You said YES (of course, this IS the love of your life we’re talking about). Your family, friends, and just about everyone who would hear you were notified of your Great News! Now begins the planning process for the wedding of your dreams!!!….What type of wedding should you have, who do you invite, what wedding planner should you go with, what’s your color scheme, etc etc etc? Where do you even begin???? And once you’ve finally realized what type of wedding you want, finding the right vendor for you is no small or easy task. This is the point where fantasy ends and where reality hits you. Planning a wedding is not as magical and fun as you imagined. It’s hard work which involves a whole lot of time and research.


But don’t start pulling out your hair just yet. It doesn’t have to be this overwhelming. There is a solution that will help ease your stress…..Bridal Show (who knew only two short words could be a solution to a long list of headaches). Instead of having to run all over the place trying to find the right vendors for your dream wedding, why not meet them all in ONE PLACE. Bridal shows are basically one stop shops which allow you to meet with multiple wedding professionals, all under one roof. They showcase services and products by various wedding vendors from bridal shops, caterers, florists, wedding favors, and many many more. What makes them even more appealing is that you get to meet with wedding professionals face to face and get individualized attention and answers to your questions. Also, wedding vendors tend to offer special discounts to those who book with them at bridal shows. To top it off, you get an opportunity to win great prizes and even leave with a nice gift bag full of goodies! So save yourself the unnecessary headache and check out the nearest bridal show……
