JESS – Erin, there’s a lot of hubbub about “green” weddings and “eco-friendly” events these days- Why don’t we tell our readers about the many options available to brides that want to make better choices on their big day?

One Day I’ll Win …
February 28, 2008I’m happy to announce the winner of a pair of tickets to the Eco-Wedding & Lifestyle Show is
You Can Follow Me Wherever I Go
February 27, 2008Just got back from my first meeting with the lovely Yoko & Khalid. If you can’t remember their story, please go back and read it here. They are both so refreshingly sweet, in love and outside-the-box thinkers … I love it! It will honestly be an honour to be a part of their multi-cultural wedding & lives.
Strike A Pose
February 26, 2008For the first time in about five years, my husband and I opted not to throw our usual Oscars party … we watched them quietly by ourselves instead … what a difference! This year we were able to pay attention to the red carpet, listen to George Clooney’s joking and avoid the pressure of coming in last in the Oscar party pool. We’re not sure if we’ll go back to hosting or not but this year gave me a chance to come up with some favourite dresses. Each one of them I loved for different reasons but one stood out as my absolute favourite. Humour me while I list them …
THE SIMPLE BEAUTY
The one-shoulder accent was huge this year … Amy Ryan showed everyone how to model it flawlessly.
We’re Gonna Win
February 21, 2008Ready to win a pair of tickets to the Eco-Wedding & Lifestyle Show???
All you have to do is email me at inquiries@momentsthatshine.com with two things:
- make sure you put “Contest” in the subject line
- give me one reason how you’re making your wedding green OR a way in which you could (this could be as simple as you’re holding the ceremony & reception at the same venue or maybe your bridesmaids dresses are something they can wear again!)
My Funny Valentine
February 20, 2008Well, as I’m finally back from a lovely vacation (but catching up today so don’t bombard me 
), I thought I’d share with you how Valentine’s Day wound up between my husband and I.
In case you don’t remember, the criteria for our gifts were …
- green
- metal
- rectangle
- three
- cloth
… and we had to meet three of the five (but we always try for all five for bragging rights).
Different is cool!

JESS – so Erin you’ve been in the business a LONG time- what has been your favourite wedding to work on in terms of the flowers?
ERIN – I have been sitting here for five minutes thinking about this. That’s a really tough question. I honestly do enjoy all of the weddings we work on but I tend to really enjoy the more unusual ones. Like the one we did a few months ago that was done in all green flowers: green orchids, green mums, lime ribboning etc. Remember that one? Check out the picture of the bridesmaid’s bouquets above.
Lovers In A Dangerous Time
February 14, 2008On this international day o’ love, I’m would like to share the following story with you. It was brought to my attention by the fabulous Judy Cormier of Elementz of Fotographie in a wedding photography context she was holding …
Our Journey to Happily Ever After – Yoko & Khalid’s Story
Once upon a time there was a girl named Yoko and a boy name Khalid. They met, fell in love, and lived happily ever after. If only things could be that easy. Okay, so that’s the short and sweet version but here’s how it really goes….
