Haunted Halloween Weddings!

It's the season for spooky, and in any given evening you might come across The Bride of Chucky, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Corpse Bride all in one night!

Why so many scary brides? Well, judging by some of the Halloween Weddings we've stumbled upon, hosting a Halloween affair can open a creative can of worms and turn out quite bootiful (sorry...I had to).

Take a sneaky peak into the frightful affairs of these Halloween revelers! Does it inspire you to host your own Halloween wedding? Or does it more so inspire your costume for Sunday?

This Tim Burton inspired bride was photographed by Laura Nikisher. Although, contrary to most
of Burton's characters, this bride is looking particularly alive...

Erin Hearts Court photographed this festive Halloween wedding. Bridesmaids dressed in rainbow, an
aisle lined in bright orange pumpkins, and a classic bride with a black and white striped twist. I love it!

Hey, if you're going to have your wedding on Halloween, this is the way to do it...
Pumpkins and classic lines keep things festive and won't give the kids nightmares!

Pumpkins and patches and mountains, oh my!

If you're now sold on being a Corpse Bride... this definitely takes the cake!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Real Wedding Preview - Kristin & Chris

Kristin & Chris tied the knot all the way back in July! We're so excited that we've finally started to get ahold of some of the wonderful pictures from their special day.

The pair was married in Kristin's father's backyard in Castle Rock on a gorgeous summer afternoon. Classic Creations was able to transform the site into a romatic, candlelit setting perfect for the ceremony and reception.

Here's a tiny taste of Kristin & Chris's romantic backyard wedding. Special thanks to 2 Sisters Photography for sending along the photos!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Well, it's been rainy and cold in Denver lately. Today is shaping up to be relatively sunny, but, brrrrrrr! This weather is definitely an indication that Fall is here and we are very close to winter.

I'm okay with it raining in Denver when I read this morning that Keystone got 17 inches of snow in the last 48 hours. I am so not ready for the snow yet. Definitely not before Halloween. If it's between rain or snow, I say, bring on the rain!

If you ever watched The Bachelor, then you probably know of Jason and Molly. Although Jason picked Melissa in the final rose ceremony, he had a change of heart and secretly kept in touch with Molly well after the proposal. Romantic? Maybe someone somewhere thinks so. Regardless, Molly and Jason had a very public, very gorgeous wedding not too long after the show aired. Although ABC flipped the bill, there was nothing the network could do about the stormy clouds and buckets of rain pourind down throughout the ceremony...

A semi-crisis at the time, guests were given adorable, clear umbrellas to keep them dry from Mother Nature's wrath. The loveliness of the umbrellas sparked a trend at many weddings - keeping dainty umbrellas on-hand to protect guests and the bridal party from wind, rain, and blinding sunshine.

The color! The style! The vintage throwback!

We love this trend at Classic Creations, and are all about hopping on the umbrella bandwagon. But finding a  vintage-looking umbrella, or even a fun, colorful umbrella, is can fare a little bit harder then searching through your parent's garage. Check the trunk of any car and you're bound to return with an umbrella fit for a college-tailgate or shameful walk from car to grocery store.

So, we've scouted out some of the most appropraite and colorful umbrellas for you! Your best bet? Probably Bella Umbrella. They sell a mix of Vintage (one of a kind!) umbrellas, as well as Signature Bella Umbrellas.

Top Five Myths About Hiring a Wedding Planner Debunked!

It's too expensive, you can do it all yourself, the coordinator will take over and you'll miss out, you want to do it yourself, the venue has its own event manager...

Ah, the myths about hiring a wedding planner. Nicole Relyea from The Examiner takes a close look at these questions, and goes to the experts to find the truth!

Classic Creations' Creative Director, Julie Gambrell, was honored to be one of the the Wedding Planning experts included in this article.

The Easiest Way to Share Wedding Photos

I saw this article on CNN.com this morning and I wanted to share it with all of you! You know if it's on CNN it's legit... :)

"Lots of things go into putting together the perfect wedding: the dress, the food and the photographer are three of the biggest. While a wedding photographer will shoot your big day, photos taken by friends or family of the wedding and other key moments - cake tastings, dress fittings and the morning-of trip to the hairdresser - can end up cluttering your computer's hard drive and never seeing the light of day.

All of those candid shots from friends and family can be just as wonderful as the professional photographer shots. Why not display them in a photo book made by you? Not only is it affordable and easy to do, it's also a great way to pull those memories together in a book you can share, show off, and treasure for years to come.

The trend of making your own wedding books, engagement photo books and guest registers has grown exponentially over the past several years. According to a recent survey, more than 70 percent of brides are opting to make their own wedding albums. Making your own book not only saves money, it also gives you complete creative control and an opportunity to show and share your own vision of that special day.

There are a number of services that enable you to make your own book and Blurb is one of them. Registering at Blurb.com is free and once you do you'll have all the tools you need to make a beautiful photo book that you can share, show off and treasure for years..."
