Where Can I Find Candelabra Base Strand Lights?

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

Ask The Celebration Advisor: I'm looking for bulb-strand lights, with a candelabra base (similar to ones found and fairs and festivals, also on the Movie HOPE FLOATS) Anyone know where these can be rented? ~ Elly in Wichita KS

The Celebration Advisor: As luck would have it (or knowing a lot of cool lighting vendors), I do happen to know of a great place to find bulb strand lights with candelabra bases! Oogalights.com has pretty much all of the commercial and festival lights you could want. They give you several options of colors for the strand lights with candelabra bases as well. Choose from red, green and black. PartyLights.com also has strand lights with candelabra bases (view C7 Strings & Bulbs). While I'm not sure that either will rent, strand lights are a versatile purchase that can be used for other affairs or resold after the wedding.

The "Hope Floats" look is really popular for intimate outdoor weddings. In fact, we did the same thing for my friend's wedding a few years ago. Oogalights.com gives you a lot of options so that the wedding is celebrated with a bright and cheery atmosphere. I hope you find what you're looking for! Don't forget to stop back by Wedding And Party Network with photos to let us know how it went. Thanks Elly!

Can I Get Halloween Wedding Cakes In Calgary, AB?

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

Ask The Celebration Advisor: I need to know who can make me a Halloween wedding cake, as well as favors and Ideas, and decoratons for my wedding. Most particularly the cake. for 200ppl? and a price in Calgary. Thank you. ~ Carmen Turning Robe, Calgary Alberta Canada

Celebration Advisor: Of course you can find all of that and other great wedding supplies in Calgary AB!

In fact, I know of a few places where you can find theme cakes, wedding cakes and (imagine this) theme wedding cakes in Calgary. For starters, try Cake Creations. They're incredible! Their wedding cakes are elegant regardless of the theme. All you have to do is ask! Theme cakes as well as wedding cakes come in all shapes and sizes so be specific about what you want. Just let your wedding cake bakery know the size, general theme, and amount of people eating the cake and you're good to go!

As far as wedding favors and ideas go, that's greatly dependent upon the type of ceremony that you are having. It sounds like you're having a really fun Halloween wedding–congrats! That sounds like so much fun! I would start by speaking with the professionals at Claudia's Mementos. Though not located in Calgary, wedding favors from here are bound to be awesome. They always do an incredible job of hooking you up with the wedding favors that YOU want.

If you want a cool idea to start with for your wedding favors, try this one that my friend is using at her Halloween wedding this year. Our wedding favors are placeholders which are going to be little skulls, monsters, and ghosts with our names written on their heads. It took her a long time to choose those over chocolate cupcakes with vanilla icing decorated like webbing and our names written in red icing over that. Somehow I knew she'd go with the haunted cemetery wedding favors instead! *grin* I'm sure these will taste great with the wedding cake. Have guests bring a sweet tooth!

Wedding decorations aren't quite as tricky. The only thing you really need to figure out is whether you want this to be more like a Halloween wedding or a Halloween party. If you're wanting the more upscale, ask a local Calgary wedding planner to help you come up with something that will celebrate the holiday and the occasion at the same time. If you want more of a party atmosphere, go all out with black tablecloths, creepy decorative lighting, blood-colored punch and other party foods, jack-o-lanterns and other spooky decorations. It just takes a little imagination! If you want some ideas, check out these great Halloween party pictures.

Together, your choices of wedding cakes, wedding favors, and wedding decorations is immense when you use the local  wedding suppliers that you have right there in Calgary!

Thanks for your question Carmen. I look forward to seeing the pictures of your wedding!
