2010 COLOUR OF THE YEAR

Pantone, the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design industries, recently announced that Turquoise is the colour of the year for 2010. Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise is a colour that most people respond to positively. It's universally flattering and appealing to men and women alike.

With both warm and cool undertones, Turquoise pairs nicely with all colours in the spectrum. It adds a splash of excitement to neutrals and browns, compliments reds and pinks, creates a classic look with deep blues and livens up all other greens. Turquoise is especially trend setting with yellow-greens.

For brides wanting to incorporate it in their wedding, Turquoise can either make a statement that is elegant and dressy or casual and fun. Because of its versatility, it's a great accent colour for decor as well as jewelry, purses, shoes, hair accessories and even nail polish for women and ties and shirts for men.

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT YEAR!

As 2009 comes to a close, Viva la wedding would like to take a moment to thank all the wonderful people we’ve had the pleasure to work with throughout the year.

We are so grateful and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to coordinate so many fabulous weddings and bond with such great couples and their families over the past twelve months. Thank you for having chosen Viva la wedding and allowing us to be a part of your special day. We wish you all a happy and healthy future.

Of course these weddings would never have been possible without the hard work of the many outstanding vendors we are fortunate to have access to in the Ottawa area. Thank you for your talent, professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond to make our couples happy. Viva la wedding is looking forward to working with you all again in 2010.

Budgeting Time for Photography - Article published by ISPWP

I've just had an article published by the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers about budgeting time on the wedding day. I am often asked about the timing of things, so I thought I'd put together a guideline with some rules of thumb.

Ode to Eunice

Photos by Eunice

I am still in disbelief that one of my closet friends will now live on the opposite coast, exactly 6213.79710 kilometers away. I was looking through some of our work over the year and found myself going, "oh, that one is so cool." "OMG. I love that one." So, I decided to pay homage to some of my personal favorites from her weddings in 2009. She is a rare talent and a nutty chick and I'm going to miss her like crazy. I've heard that I'll be using Skype a lot this year to keep in touch. Eunice will continue to serve some of FunkyTown's Caribbean destinations. We'll keep you in the loop as she settles into her new life out east. Goodbye Eunice! We're going to miss you!!
