Pampered Puppy Dog Product Reviews
Posted on Jun 1, 2010 at 10:00 am by Liz · No Comments
I am so excited to tell you about something I’ve been working hard at this month: the Pampered Puppy Product Reviews! I was approached by Pampered Puppy a few months ago about doing the product reviews for June and July and I jumped at the chance. It was such fun and Paddington and Corduroy loved trying out the products and posing for the pictures.
We reviewed four products this month and you can head on over to the Pampered Puppy website to see them.
I also have a lovely ad on the home page of the site which I am very excited about.
Have a wonderful day,
Liz – Contact Me, I would love to speak with you!

Finding the Right Jeweller for your Wedding
Posted on Jan 8, 2010 at 10:00 am by Liz · 1 CommentI was speaking to a friend last night who relayed her nightmarish story about her great ring debacle. She has been married now since June and still doesn’t have her rings. Her then-boyfriend/now-husband wanted something unique and very special for the love of his life and contacted a jeweller to make a custom engagement ring that he helped design. It was beautiful, it was perfect and she said “Yes!” Fast forward a year and a half later to a week before the wedding and lo and behold, the bride still doesn’t have her wedding band and they have now been through two jewellers. The nightmare continued after the wedding. Although they were able to get a wedding band made for them in time for the wedding, it wasn’t perfect and had many flaws. So off to a third jeweller who then proceeded to damage the original engagement ring, leaving the newlyweds out of much money and quite distraught. They have since been to two more jewellers, the engagement ring and wedding band have been re-made about 5 or 6 times and they are hoping against all hope to pick up the final rings this week.
I have never heard of such a nightmare! We had quite the opposite experience at our jeweller, Goldform. We originally went to them to get my engagement ring resized. The store Thomas got the engagement ring from didn’t do ring sizing so I asked friends and was recommended to Goldform – a little jewellery store in Westboro. We brought my engagement ring in and they re-sized it in less than a week! We were so impressed that we began speaking to them about doing our unique, custom made wedding bands. We wanted something very specific and they were able to accommodate every need we had. They worked with us every step of the way and we went in several times to oversee the progress. The jewellers really knew their stuff and made suggestions that would not only fit our budget, but look fantastic.
I couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Goldform and I was so saddened to hear about my friends journey.
If you are looking for a trustworthy and reputable jeweller in Ottawa, please take a moment to visit Goldform – you will not be disappointed!

Wedding Resources ~ Best Blogs for Brides, Ottawa Wedding Photography
Posted on Dec 27, 2009 at 10:00 am by Liz · 2 CommentsThere are so many things for a bride to think about before the wedding and I know before I got married I wanted to look at many many websites for ideas and inspiration.
I have compiled a list of my favourites, and ones that helped me before my own wedding last summer.
The Wedding Chicks *a personal fave* ~ weddingchicks.com
I love this website – lots of really amazing ideas and always has great resources, even for Canadians! I also ordered shirts from them for my wedding; one that said Bride and the other said Maid of Honour. Too cute!
Weddingbells Blog ~ weddingbells.ca/blogs
The Weddingbells Blog (and website) is great because it’s 100% Canadian – gotta love that! Offices are based out of Toronto so if there’s something you must have that they feature, it’s only a shortish drive away. This blog/website is the companion to the Weddingbells Magazine (also a great resource).
Weddingbee ~ weddingbee.com
Weddingbee is great because it’s blog posts done by either real life brides/couples or wedding vendors. Lots of great insight and info on here and I spent hours pouring over this blog when I first found it.
The Bride’s Cafe ~ thebridescafe.com
Beautiful blog with lots of inspiration. Only downfall is there is no Canadian content on it.
Kiss the Groom ~ kissthegroom.com
Kiss the Groom is a blog told in beautiful photos. Some stunning imagery on it.
100 Layer Cake ~ 100layercake.com/blog
100 Layer Cake is a mix of DIY, real weddings, style and inspiration.
Not blogs, but very helpful
Wedding Wire ~ weddingwire.com
This was easily the most helpful website I found and used before we got married. It has everything you need to plan your day and keep it organized, and for an organization-freak like me, it was perfect! Don’t let the .com extension fool you though, this website has A TON of Canadian content and vendors and if your vendors aren’t in their system, you can add them in!
Stephanie James Couture ~ stephaniejamescouture.com
Stephanie James is a designer in the US and I just fell completely and utterly in LOVE with her dresses. If I wasn’t lucky enough to have my wonderful Mother custom make my wedding dress, I would have sought out a Stephanie James dress. I don’t believe they sell them in Ottawa, but Sash and Bustle in Toronto does.
iDiY ~ i-do-it-yourself.com/
iDiY is a great resource for the bride who wants to add some personal hand-made touches to her wedding. There are many projects and ideas on this blog, and some are not even for weddings!
If you have any wedding blogs you love – leave it in the comments!
Have a wonderful day,
Liz – Contact Me, I would love to speak with you!
