3 Ways to Spread Love with Your Phone

You text each other all day! We live in a world now where everyone has a smart phone device! I know there are times where you are just saying hello, or sending a reminder, or perhaps sharing a laugh at a video you seen together on Facebook, or Instagram. As all my clients, family, and friends know I love romance!

Here's a sweet little ideas for you (especially since love is in the air) and Valentine's Day is around the corner. I will give you some romantic tips, and ways to use your cell phone to WOW him!

Tip#1

Surprise him with a gift, ship it to his job, or perhaps have it hand delivered to him at a restaurant! However, leading up to day the gift arrives, text hints of the gift. 

Don't give too much away (you don't want him to guess it). Just small tiny hints until the gift arrives! 

Tip #2 

Set up reservations at your favorite eatery and program it in your calendar on your smart phone. Plan this on a day you know he's free and available. Add him on the calendar too (there should be a option to "invite"). Invite him within the calendar and he will get the alert too! He will love how thoughtful you are, and he will be surprised. 

Tip #3 

Text him the lyrics to your favorite love song that describes how you feel. Especially, if it's a song you both love, that makes it even more special. As soon as the text comes through send him a voice recording (your smart phone should have a voice recording option) telling how much you love and adore him. 

I hope you enjoyed these tips, and have lots of fun! Don't be afraid to get creative and add in more love and romance. If you like these tips and ideas please comment below! 

Have a sweet day,

Create a romantic mood with a cute flowing vintage, long tutu skirt. Lovely,  pretty white tutu is perfect for a modern wedding. You will be glowing in your wedding pictures as you wear this skirt. I love the way this picture is captured with the couple.

As guests enter your wedding, you want to have great signage. Remember this sparks up great conversation among your guests. Immediately following the ceremony you can implement the signage into your post wedding photography.

Winter weddings are so pretty, with all the snow, pine cones, snowflakes, makes for a dazzling backdrop.

5 Wedding Website Pages Your Guests Will Gush Over

 

 

Once upon a Vow works with you to transform your LOVE + STORIES into unforgettable wedding vows, speeches, ceremonies, and every written word in between personalized to feel every bit like you.

 

 

You said ‘YES’ to your happily ever after and now you can’t wait to say ‘I Do’! Wishing everyone could feel your love and excitement, you brilliantly decide to build your own wedding website. But where do you start and what do you say?

 

First, pick the right wedding website platform for you. With so many WEDsite options to choose from, it’s important to figure out which one matches your needs and style. Maybe you want a free, no-frills platform that shares your wedding details and your love story. Or maybe you want more of an interactive website that helps you manage RSVPs, gift registries, and wedding photos taken by your guests. You might want a wedding website that comes with a personalized URL or one that links to your own purchased domain. There are even options, like MyWedding.com, that matches your favorite wedding website design to your wedding invitations so you can kill two birds with one stone.

Once you’ve figured out which wedding website platform works best for you, give your guests a sneak peek into your big day with these five must-have WEDsite pages.

 

1. Wedding Homepage

This will be the first page your guests will see and their first look into your wedding day so you want their experience to reflect your wedding story style. Make everything simple, uncluttered, and clear. The menu should be easy to navigate so guests can find your registry, guest book, and every page in between. Add a beautiful picture of you two with your names and wedding date front and center. Welcome your guests to your story and thank them for celebrating your upcoming wedding with you. If you’d like to add an extra touch of excitement, include a countdown clock so you can tick off the days together.
 

2. Your Love Story

Share all those serendipitous moments that brought you two together, especially the details of how you first met, your first date, your favorite things to do together, and all the reasons you’re both imperfectly perfect for each other. Add a scrolling gallery of your favorite moments and take your guests through your sweet timeline.

3. Your Proposal Story

Everyone wants to know how they asked so give them those details here. You can walk them through both your perspectives on the whole experience, like their planning process versus your emotional reaction. This is the perfect place to share your favorite engagement photos or video, if you have one. Let your personalities and quirky love shine through in both your love story and proposal story pages. It will undoubtedly make your guests excited to witness your I Do’s!

4. Wedding Day Details

Your wedding website will be your guests go to resource for all your wedding day details, especially if you’re having a destination wedding or invited many of out-of-town guests. Clearly paint a picture of what the big day will look like - when is the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception? Where will each be held? It’s important to be as specific as possible to avoid confusion, especially if there are multiple locations. Add a picture of the venue and a Google map widget so guests can be prepared and plan ahead.

5. Wedding Party

This is a great opportunity to highlight the important people in your lives, especially the members of your wedding party. Include a picture of them and a short introduction with their wedding party role (i.e. Best Man, Maid of Honor, Mother of the Bride(s)/Groom(s), etc.). Personalize each one, describing what makes them an important part of your life or tell a story about your friendship. On a more somber note, if you’d like to remember someone who is no longer here with you, include a Remembrance section dedicated to your lost loved ones. In this way, you’re acknowledging their importance in your life and giving others an opportunity to fondly remember them with you.

These five must-have pages intimately walk your guests through your journey that they wouldn’t otherwise experience until your ceremony. But with a well crafted wedding website, they can share in your excitement, bask in your joy, and feel lucky to witness this incredible moment in both your lives.

Why I Adore These 4 Love Songs

Emotions -

Those affective states which can be experienced and have arousing and motivational properties.

Love, emotions, feelings, affection, kissing, hugging slow dancing, cuddling, all tie into romance. Love is a strong emotion! There are so many elements, that connect us to love. Such as, music and today I will tell you about 4 of my favorite love songs. Because, music is so powerful, and can bring over 1000 memories! One certain song can make you remember perhaps a first kiss, or when you first met the love of your life. 

love -

a strong positive emotion of regard and affection

The songs I will talk about today, have so much attached (attached meaning "feelings")  to them. The memories, the love, it's so many love songs that I enjoy. But today I chose to discuss these four and why I love them so much. Just a songs lyrics alone can make you feel so warm.  A song can set a mood for a hot date night, or a relaxing evening in from of the fireplace. Maybe even a slow dance with just the two of you! 

feelings -

emotional or moral sensitivity (especially in relation to personal principles or dignity)

 

"Amazing" - by Luther Vandross

This song was utilized as our " First Dance" at our wedding. I remember the moment my husband and I were standing on the dance floor (arms wrapped around each other).  I looked at him shocked when the music started playing. He gently leaned over and whispered in my ear, and said that he changed the song. I was completely ok with that. The song is actually beautiful, and I was happy that he made that choice! We recently, renewed our wedding vows in New York! We used this song for our vow renewal video. 

Every time I hear that song it takes me back to when I married my husband! 

"You" - by Jesse Powell 

Such a wonderful song, I love the lyrics! Perfect for a wedding, everything about the song screams wedding! But, even before I was engaged or married I always loved this song. This has been a love song all time favorite of mines! I used this song as well in my wedding during the processional. Also, myself, and my siblings personally know the guy that sang this song. 

"We Both Deserve Each Other's Love"- by Jeffrey Osborne

Once again the lyrics, are so beautiful. It's a old time favorite, of my husband and I. My husband is the one who told me about this song. When he played it to me I instantly fell in love with it! It's a song that I could just relax, and listen while enjoying special time with my husband. 

"A Couple of Forevers" - Chrisette Michelle 

Oh, how I love this song, and the video. The entire time she is expressing love between a couple. A everlasting love, and how much it means. When I first heard this particular song I loved it instantly! I felt like it described the love I have for my husband. It's so beautiful, that's why I adore this so very much!

 Have a Sweet Day,

How to Plan a Romantic Indoor Picnic

Choose the date and plan ahead - Think about when exactly you want to snuggle up and have a indoor picnic. I really love how this romantic activity can be done during the week or weekend. Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be a holiday or special occasion. You can just plan one "just because". Go pick out everything you will need from the blanket, pillows, picnic basket, china, flatware, stemware, rose petals, and all the special little touches you want to add (Make it EXTRA Special)!         

                                                  

  

Plan the menu - choose your significant others favorites food/beverage. Don't forget to plan a nice dessert as well. The menu planning should be really fun and easy. Don't forget the fresh fruits, such as strawberries! Maybe, even chocolate covered strawberries, white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, some rolled in nuts, ect,. My husband and I really love Kilwin's here in Atlanta for fresh speciality candies,...

Pick up a glass a Champagne or wine! Have it already chilled and ready for that night.

Set the mood - after you place the blanket on the floor, and all the other romantic goodies...set the mood. Dim the lights, light some candles, and set-up the plates and flatware, and pour the bubbly/wine. Write your significant other a love letter (handwritten letters are always best (pre-write the letter) spread your rose petals all over. Play some music you both enjoy! Talk, laughter, eat, drink, and enjoy each other's company.

Make it extra special and give your love a massage at the end!

Bonus Tip: Wear something comfortable (because you will be on the floor together), and don't forget to seal the night with a kiss!

 

Have a Sweet Day,

Clarissa

It’s Date Night! What are You Wearing?

Greetings!

I'm so pleased to have my first guest blogger on the BLOG! This is exciting because the  topic of date night styling and fashion goes perfect with engagement season. Love is in the air! Enjoy!

By: Lei-Loni Greenhow of Fashion blog Clothe Your Curves

I love any reason to dress up and feel girlie, so bring on Date nights! Going out with my husband tends to be on the casual side, but once in awhile I get all dolled up.  For relationships new or more seasoned, dates nights can be a great a way to spend time moreor reconnect with your partner, and it doesn’t hurt to look good while doing it! Now let me clarify, looking great does not mean dressing completely out of character. Wearing heels or a body-con dress to create this fantasy look on your first date can be nice, but if you’re not comfortable; you’ll be pulling and wobbling all night! The focus should be on having a good time and not how uncomfortable you feel.

Perfect example, when I was in college I went on a date with a guy who I met at a home improvement store. When we met, I was wearing jeans, an over-sized shirt and some sneakers. You know, comfy stuff. On the date, I listened to my friends and went all out (in our early 20’s mindset)! Fitted shirt, tight jeans, heels, make-up; I thought I was doin’ it! His reaction; surprised of course, but as the date progressed my shirt kept rolling up, my “tight” jeans were way too tight, and our long romantic stroll was cut short, because my feet hurt. He could tell I was uncomfortable, and what made it worse was him telling me that he was expecting for me to look the way I did when we met! The moral of this story is BE COMFORTABLE, and most of all BE YOURSELF!

With that in mind, checkout some of these date looks and see if one speaks to you!

Lunch Date

If you're still one of the lucky few that take more than a half hour lunch, why not try a casual lunch date? Great for first dates or a chance to reconnect!

Casual Date Wear

Date night does not always mean getting dressed up. You can feel just as amazing in a pair of boyfriend jeans and a tee!

So Fancy

Planning to go somewhere special or a few notches above your normal dining routine? Get fancy in this gorgeous look!

How to Write a Love Letter

                                                                             

We are currently in the season of love and romance, with Engagement season being close; I want to introduce everyone into the art of letter writing.  I love to write, and there is nothing more heartfelt than writing a love letter. I want to talk about how to write a beautiful love letter. Here's a few tips, and advice!

Go purchase nice paper- buy some pretty stationary paper, and coordinating envelopes. Think about how you want to set the tone. Plain paper will work as well, it's totally up to your personal taste. 

Set the mood - find a quiet place, someplace that's very calm, and relaxed. You want to be able to think clearly about what exactly you want to write. Turn on your favorite music, and take your time; collect your thoughts.  Think about how much you love your significant other, and how much they mean to you. 

Put the pen to the paper-  as you begin writing (DO NOT email, or text; handwritten only). I want you to write down all your thoughts and emotions, explaining your love on paper.  Include special moments and memories you have shared together. Also, talk about the romantic future you look forward to sharing together.  The letter can be short or long, and always seal it with a kiss! Always, make sure you proofread the letter.


The most special moment is delivering the love letter! Seal it in a nice envelope, or place it in a small box wrapped in tissue paper. If you want a added, extra touch mail the letter (think of ways to make it really special). Ask the post office for stamps that consist of hearts, or something involved with love.

Tip: Spray the love letter with your favorite perfume, cologne, or body splash ( for the ladies put on some lipstick and leave some kisses on the letter).

How to Plan a Romantic Staycation

A staycation is a option where couples can stay in their own city or town, and vacation. Perhaps, book a local Bed & Breakfast, Hotel Room, or Spa & Lodge. 

Here in Georgia there are lots of mountains, cabins, cottages, lodges, beaches, beach houses, villas/condos, beach/resorts, and so many options for a staycation. 

The option or endless, you just have to get creative and talk with your significant other. Make plans to enjoy your own city and town.  Think about places you always wanted to go or heard about (romantic places). 

Here are 3 tips on, how to plan a romantic staycation. 

#1) Choose the location - the location is everything, think about where you want to go. Perhaps, it's a hotel, bed & breakfast, ect... once you decide, call and make the reservations. Also, asking about romance packages, a la carte services. Consider asking about turn-down services, champagne and chocolates, butler services, spa/massage, ect...

#2) Choose the activities ... ask the about complimentary shuttle services (if available) perhaps there are some restaurants in the area. Look online for local events, festivals, and activities. Make reservations to have a romantic breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Inquire within where you are staying and see if it's a restaurant within the place. 

#3) Add in the romance - plan to spend quality time together.  Add in a special touch ( write a love letter before your staycation). Give your significant other the love letter during your stay. Download your slow music music on your iPod, laptop, tablet, or smart phone (love songs).   Bring a camera and snap quick pics of each other ( don't use your cell phone camera). Have un-interrupted conversations (stay off your phone while spending time with each other).

Tip: While you are away enjoying this time together start making plans for the next getaway, or Staycation. This makes planning exciting, and gives you two a opportunity to brainstorm together. 

Have a Sweet day,

5 Winter Dating ideas

Photo Credit

Baby it's cold outside! Here at The Sweetest we are blogging all about love and romance! Engagement season is in full swing, and we are really excited. 

Today, we will talk about 5 fabulous winter date ideas! 

Note: These are some of my recommendations for places here in Georgia! Below are some of my husband's and I favorites! 

#1) Iceskating - why not go out and hold hands together. Grab a cup of hot chocolate (dress warm), and hit the rink! Here in Georgia I love Atlantic Station's iceskating rink ( wrap your arms around each other's waist and have fun). 

#2) Coffee Shop - a fun way to sit, and lounge together on your smart phone, or tablet and surf the net on wifi. Order your favorite warm beverages, and hangout together. One of my favorites is Starbucks (of course) or Java Monkey Decatur, Georgia ( great conversations can be sparked in coffee shops).

#3) Draw & Sip together - Create a Canvas located in southeast Georgia in the city of Lithonia. It's certainly a perfect date night full of drawing and sipping on your favorite wine (BYFW - Bring Your Favorite Wine!!!)! 

#4) Go grab something SWEET - We love Cafe Intermezzo dessert, a wide selection of cakes, cheesecakes ( always different flavors). We also love to dine here ( Super Romantic) when you enter it's dimly lit with candles ( a beautiful and intimate place), and in the winter months the outdoor patio is well heated. What's great, is there are two locations to choose from. 

#5) Wine Tasting - attend a wine tasting together. There's a monthly wine tasting in the Virginia Highlands area, one of the most romantic places in Georgia! The place I love is called, Java Vino ( I know I love the Coffee Houses). Here they offer wine tastings, venue space, and great coffee. Inquire within for the next monthly tasting.

Couples are making romantic plans, and spending more time together. Here I will give some tips on getting out for a day together. You will learn some romantic ways to take a little mini tour around your own city! 

#1) Plan your route - think about, where your favorite spots as a couple. Places you like to eat, spend time, window shop or grab a quick dessert, JUMP out there and try something new! Choose 3-5 places to go! Program them all in the GPS and you two are ready to hit the CITY.

#2) Grab your coats, scarves, gloves, and a hat ( you want to stay nice and warm), make some hot chocolate ( or warm drink you prefer). Buy your "love" a new mug ( or coffee cup) this will be a sweet gesture. Exchanging gifts right before you two hit the road is a COOL idea too ( buy each other thick socks, ear muffs, ect...)

#3) HOP in car - head to your destinations ( STAY OFF THE CELL PHONE) only use it to take pictures together ONLY!  Talk to each other, make present and future plans together. Really take in your surroundings, and snap pictures. Furthermore, make the trip in the car a experience ( remember you are creating memories). Hold hands in the car, laugh, tell each other jokes, kiss, hug and have fun!

Engagement Feature: Love Story of "Zachary & Ashley"

"A Teenage Love"

This lovely couple out of Wisconsin met through mutual friends during their high school years. Their friendship turned into a sweet "teenage love"! 

Their engagement story is heartfelt, and sweet. I love how music played a role in setting the tone for the actual marriage proposal.  Enjoy their "love story" as it is lovely! What started out as a typical anniversay date turned into a beautiful night for Zachary & Ashley! 

THE COUPLE ...

 " Zachary & Ashley" 

HOW THEY MET....

Zachary and Ashley were introduced to each other by mutual friends; while attending high school. After, becoming friends later they began dating. By their junior year of high school their friendship blossomed into a relationship. 

LOVE CONQUERS ALL....

Zachary and Ashley have learned how to conquer all challenges they have faced. No matter what they always come out on top better than ever!

THE DATE NIGHT....

On, Wednesday December 11, 2013, Zachary and Ashley went out to celebrate their 4 year anniversary. 

The couple chose to have a dinner date  and go ice skating. Immediately, following dinner the couple made their way to the ice skating rink.

 As the couple skated, Zachary pointed  out that the song "Still Into You" By Paramore was playing; of course Ashley was so focused on skating ( it had been quite a while, since she last ice skated). 

As Ashley got the hang of ice skating she started to notice the music....

The second song was "Marry Me" By Jason Durlo. The last song that played was their favorite song. "I'll Be" By Edwin McCain. 

THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL ... 

As Zachary and Ashley stopped for a break during the song, Ashley pointed out to him that their favorite song was playing.  By this time he was already on the ground fixing his ice skates.  

Zachary looked up at Ashley and said, "Ashley there's a reason for these songs playing today." She just looked at him with a confused looked he reached into his coat that was on the bench and pulled out a big box... 

HE ASKED ....SHE SAID YES...

As Ashley kept repeating the word no over and over because she was convinced that he wasn't going to propose for a while still. Then, Zachary opened the box and looked up and said, "Ashley I love you...will you marry me?" At first she took a couple steps back still being in shock. Then, Ashley said yes!
