Kim @ Inspired Goodness's Picture
Kimberly Canale, Brooklyn, NY Vendor: Event Designer Website: Inspired Goodness About Me: From the moment the engagement ring was slipped onto my finger, I've been in love with all-things-wedding. I still get teary eyed reading proposal stories in magazines and love sneaking a peek at a bride and groom glancing at one another for the first time, as the ceremony is about to begin. With each of my clients, I get to know their personality, family background and hear the story of how they met and fell in love. Each piece becomes another element from which I use to build the overall vision for their wedding day. As the Creative Director at Inspired Goodness, my job is to create the various details that makes each of our weddings come to life. My work incorporates classic elements; engraving, hand calligraphy and vintage typography. Using a mix of found objects and flea market pieces lends a rich history to my work and challenges me to find creative ways to use mass-produced elements, each with a chic and timeless result. With every new client, I get to explore avenues I've yet to pass and love knowing that the next adventure is just around the corner!

Ceremonial Twist

July 24th, 2009 @ 10:40 am by Kim @ Inspired Goodness

A popular trend in weddings over the past few years has been the coordinated bridal party/first dance. From Thriller to Dirty Dancing and even this Grease rendition, it seems as if loads of brides and grooms are trying to become the newest million-hit star on You Tube.

And then there’s this couple who turned the procession into the kind of celebration rarely seen in churches. I love that everyone — from the grandparents in the front row to each and every member of the bridal party is enjoying themselves. Its not about trying to look cool or to impress your guests, but celebrating the wedding and joy of that day.

In an industry where we constantly see couples follow the latest trend, it’s refreshing to see someone putting their own stamp on things.

P.S. Be sure to watch the whole way through. Seeing the bride at the end made me completely tear up!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who teared up when the bride walked down the aisle!

Okay, so I FINALLY took time to watch and listen to the whole thing. And wow…seriously, I ALMOST have no words. ;-) I was laughing throughout and then (thanks, Kim!) :-( started to tear up when the bride made her entrance.

I was also totally laughing to myself thinking that our church coordinator would KILL us — or have a heart attack — if we even CONSIDERED doing something similar!

I wonder when this was filmed? I hate to be the sole dissenter, but I hardly think it is appropriate to walk down the aisle to a song sung by a guy who beat the crap out of his girlfriend — doesn’t exactly ring of maturity, responsibility, commitment or anything healthy human relationships are supposed to be about. (Chris Brown, FYI.)

@Jessie Blum @ Eclectic Unions: @Miss Bruschetta: The best part is totally when she comes out and the groom walks her the rest of the way. Love it!

@Caroline: I think its the thought that counts in this case. Don’t you think that people can love a song for what it says and the way the music and words make you fee,, aside from agreeing with what the artist who records it does?

I’m first to admit that I’m a huge Michael Jackson fan. I even love Madonna. But do I agree with the way that they live/d their lives, the mistakes they’ve made? Not exactly.

That was AWESOME!!! I’m surprised that the ‘pastor lady’ let them do that in church, though. Times are a changin’!
