Hi

Well, since spring and warm weather are here, I had to do it. I had no choice. I went to the beach. My intention was to get a tan and boy, did I! Don't ever be fooled by a partially cloudy day.

I've never been one to just lay in the sun but I can walk a beach for hours exploring. I find the creatures and shells fascinating. Every trip to the beach brings a different adventure.

Sometimes you will find loads of sand dollars, other times none. The month of May will find the horseshoe crabs mating on the shores and the sea turtles laying their eggs at night. If you have never seen a sea turtle up close, these are awesome creatures. I actually sat for two hours one evening while one laid her eggs in a deep hole in the sand. That old girl was as big as the hood of my car.

Originally from "No Where Near A Beach, Canada", I am amazed by stuff like that and thankful to be close enough to a beach to see it.

Jekyll Island

Since the beach I walked today was St. Andrews at Jekyll Island, Georgia, I thought hmmm...

Jekyll Island is part of the "Golden Isles". It is a small island with minimal commercialism. What is there is "cream of the crop" though. The entire island is a state park so it has not been developed to death. Basically, it has been left pretty much to nature. Golfing, hiking, bicycle trails and a huge water park are the biggest attractions. The scenery is beautiful and there is a charming little gazebo just for small ocean front weddings.

Theme of the Month - Butterflies

With spring in the air, butterfly wedding themes become more prominent.

Symbolic of romance, adventure and transition, the butterfly captures the essence of "new beginnings" for a bride and groom perfectly.

Their beautiful, soft, powdery colors, their freedom to fly and their delicate poise, make butterflies a natural choice for beach or outdoor wedding themes.

Since butterflies come in such a variety of sizes and colors, they add flexibility to your planning. In the spring, you may choose butterflies of light pastel colors as opposed to brighter, more vibrant ones later in the summer.

Every aspect of your wedding from your invitations to your gown can reflect your choice of a wedding theme. You can also accent your butterfly theme with the use of wildflowers which butterflies are naturally attracted to.

Here are a few "Do-It-Yourself" ideas to get you started...
