It's hard to miss the Island's twin pink ladies, The Fairmont Himilton Princess. Guests
there are surrounded by luxury. Among the hibiscus and oleander, on the shores of
a picturesque natural harbor, The Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel, Bermuda's Hotel,
is a luxury resort and an elegant tribute to the old world splendor that is Bermuda. Take
a dip in your choice of fresh or saltwater pool, catch the complimentary ferry over to the
private Fairmont Beach Club in Southampton. Frolic with the dolphins at dockyard, or take
a sailing trip around Hamilton harbor and the Great Sound. They will help you design the
day of your dreams. We don't know about you, but we are ready...lets go!

Custom design. There’s something intrinsically beautiful about those words. That’s why
Husak Design is committed to giving clients the personal attention that every woman
deserves. Courtney, the owner will make sketches and samples and work within your
budget and style to create exactly what you have envisioned. There is a one-time
consultation fee of $55, which is deducted from your final order. You can also shop her
online store, where you are bound to find something perfect for you or your bridal party.
We love that all the jewelry is hand made by Courtney in her design studio, using semi-
precious stones, vintage ribbon, and sterling silver or 14K gold-fill. Love It!!!

Gold is a fabulous accessory for any occasion! So, why not pamper yourself in a little of
the good stuff for your wedding? We went on hunt to find some glorious gold finds in and
out of our price range! It's really fun to look at the most expensive perfume, but then
grab something that fits in the budget!  Swarovski Crystals are beautiful, but I bet they
would be a bit uncomfortable on your feet all day! We hope you get a kick out of our
shopping spree at Nordstrom where all of these glamorous gold items can be found!

Back in the day girls dreaded being bridesmaids because of the gosh awful dresses they
had to wear. Horror stories of endless lace and ruffles everywhere. Luckily today's
designers have stepped up a notch or two. Your Maids have plenty of flattering choices
that they possibly might wear again. In this busy time, why not throw some different pieces
of inspiration to your Maids and let them pick out there own dress. With your approval, of
course.

A Summer rehearsal dinner in the backyard could be fun and festive with the right
planning! A tasty menu, some cute invites, and a few great details are all you need!

MENU
Start with a Tea bar with a selection of refreshing iced teas:
California Iced Tea 
Sweet Raspberry Lime Iced Tea 
Mango Iced Tea

Follow that up with a Strawberry and Feta Salad; a lively mixture of lettuce, strawberries,
almonds, and feta is tossed with a tangy oil and vinegar dressing!  Then a great barbecued
gourmet burger. Gourmet burgers with all kinds of fun toppings!! How would you take your
gourmet burger? Gorgonzola cheese, roma tomatoes, crispy onions, sautéed mushrooms,
Bermuda onions, crumbled blue cheese, sun dried tomatoes, guacamole, or how about a
spicy jalapeno spread? This is super unique and something that I think that all of the guests
will really appreciate and enjoy! Finish it all of with some S'more Brownies!

FAVORS
How about a monogramed drink cozy from Pottery Barn for each of your guests?
Drink Dispenser from Pottery Barn.
Don't forget the drink umbrellas for your fancy iced teas!
You can find paper lanterns galore at Luna Bazaar.
