Readers Some Help Please

March 9, 2010

Got a question from an up coming bride that I am drawing a blank on. Checked around and our contacts aren’t quite sure where to send her, so I’m turning it over to our readers what do you recommend, leave your answers in the comments!

Question: I am looking for a place to get married, preferably within 20 miles of south bend that is non-traditional. I do love the feel of a Copshaholm or Tippecanoe (vintage garden style) but I have been to so many weddings there.

I’m thinking something shabby chic or more of a rustic elegant feel (again vintage garden ok too). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are looking for something for June of 2011. Thank you in advance!

Save the Date Cards

November 5, 2009
Q. When do you suggest sending save the date cards, our wedding is a year away? – Jenny

A. Save the date cards are usually sent out 6 to 8 months in advance of the wedding. However if you are scheduling your wedding during a holiday weekend or are having a destination wedding then it is a good idea to send them out 1 year in advance to give your family and friends time to plan. The most common form of save the date is a photo post card from your enegagement photography. Another idea is send out a magnet which can be placed on the refrigerator reminding your friends and family of the date. If you are having guests from out of the country make sure you send out save the dates with plenty of time to arrange their passports.

Basilica_of_Notre_DameIf you are thinking about getting married during 2012 or after there may be a new reception hall for you to choose from! According to Cynthia Basker of Celebrated Events, (BTW the best wedding coordinator in Michiana) at least 2 hotels opening in the Eddy Steet Commons, next to Notre Dame University. One of those hotels is planned to be a full service Marriott with a grand ballroom! So Michiana will have another new reception venue to host your wedding days at. The added bonus is it is within walking range of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart! So I expect it will be especially popular for the brides planning a Notre Dame Wedding.
