Midnight Munchies

Welcome back #BridalCoutureBrides <3

As I sat at my computer trying to decide the topic of this week’s blog post, I couldn't help letting my mind wander to every wedding guests’ favourite part of the evening: The Midnight Buffet, or as we like to call it, The Midnight Munchies. Maybe it was the constant rumble in my stomach since I hadnt eaten breakfast yet that helped influence my weekly topic selection, but as they say, the stomach wants what it wants… am I right? 😬

It's no secret that wedding receptions are a party, fully equipped with sweaty (😅), tired, and hungry guests. After a long night of dancing and celebrating, this can leave your family and friends exhausted. What better way to fuel their energy than with some classic, deep-fried, calorie packed munchies! Below, I have picked out our favourite Midnight Munchie ideas that our family at Bridal Couture personally love and think your guests would too!

The Best First Dance Songs for 2022

---

Welcome back #BridalCoutureBrides <3

This week, I thought we could talk about the best first dance songs that are sure to make an unforgettable moment. Music is an important part of almost everyone’s day-to-day life. If you’re anything like me, you might even say that sometimes you pretend your life is a movie and create your very own soundtrack….. Just kidding! (maybe 😳). Anyways, I think we can all agree that music is v e r y important. With that being said, your first dance song should be even more important.

Your first dance on your wedding day is an intimate and special moment between you and your significant other. So, of course, you need to find THE perfect tune that will be sure to make all of your guests swoon. From the classic Ed Sheeran to kickin’ it old style with Rod Stewart, your options are never ending! You may be thinking, “If there are hundreds- no thousands of songs to choose from, how will I ever decide?” Well BCBs, don’t you worry because we are here to save the day!
