We were fortunate to be able to give our input in the new Brides Colorado Spring/Summer 2010 issues if creative ceremony ideas! Our ideas included:

“Choose readings from your favorite childhood book,” says Kerri Butler of A Touch of Bliss. “Authors like Dr, Seuss and Shel Silverstein are popular. Guests love the nostalgic charm of these passages, and it’s a way for couples to include material that’s close to their hearts is more traditional selections aren’t the right fit!”

“In order to remember close family member who’ve passed away, I often suggest that couples leave an empty seat at the ceremony, with a single flower placed on it”, says Kerri, “It’s a sweet, beautiful way to pay respect to those who couldn’t be with you.”

VOWS is so excited to partner with Channel Two’s Everyday show for our Dream Wedding Giveaway! If you are a couple in Colorado, please apply here for the wedding of your dreams, donated by the vendors of VOWS.

A few photos from the shoot:

Nine years ago today, my husband and I exchanged vows on the campus at Santa Clara University, and had our reception at the Silicon Valley Capitol Club in San Jose. The eight bridesmaids wore ice blue gowns and held light blue hydrangea bouquets.

Five years after that, Scott surprised me with a vow renewal ceremony, just the two of us and a Hawaiian minister on poipu beach on Kauai. Our reception was a sunset dinner for two at the Beach House . I had a tuberose and gardenia bouquet, and Scott wore maile.

For our ten year anniversary, exactly one year from today, we are going to plan a celebration of “Loving Out Loud”. And once again, I am a bride-to-be! Stay tuned for more details, as the planning begins!

The A Touch of Bliss blog has found a new Wordpress friendly home! Bunches of Bliss is still in it’s infancy, but we are happy to be here!
