that I had known BEFORE I started all my wedding planning that my aunt in Toronto had opened up a business that caters to all areas of wedding planning! Her site is www.bridestown.com "Toronto's best wedding professionals await you at Bridestown. Visit Bridestown to create the wedding of your dreams in our elegant and hands-on environment."

In all my excitement, I had purchased and rented all the things I needed for our big day...and then one of my aunts said, "Why didn't you ask your Aunt K for help? She has her own wedding business." DOH!!! Too late! Anyway, she got me some really neat things to add final touches to our special day, like a gorgeous lace garter with a jewelled heart and a pewter ring with a lovely caption to hang on our wall. I drooled over all the wedding stuff on her site. There's sooooo much out there...I can see how companies can make a mint on events like weddings! :)

If you live in the Toronto area and are planning a wedding or helping plan a wedding, check out the store (and the site)! You can also see some of the items she and her partner carry in their store at www.hbhwedding.com !!!

I know I'm already married, but looking at wedding stuff is always fun, especially when you have friends who are planning their big day!
