Chances are that you’ve been driving your maid of honor up the wall while planning your wedding. And as great a best friend or sister as she’s been to you, we’re pretty she’d love you even more for showing her how much you appreciate her being there. So, what better way to do that than to give her a lovely jewelry keepsake? We personally think that she’d really appreciate a pretty pair of pearl earrings from Macy's.

Perhaps, your Thank You list has extended to every bridesmaid in your party. After all, they’ve weathered the craziness that is planning your wedding, so it’s only fair that they receive lovely tokens of appreciation. You’ll definitely score a home run by gifting them with Yazzie & Co.'s bridal t-shirts. Not to toot our own horn, but they’ll appreciate the sass and the soulfulness that they’ve got to offer!

Then again, you may want to take some time out of your bridal organizing schedule to pay homage to the woman that has raised you from girl to woman this season. While Mom may be proud to see her baby walk down the aisle, we’re certain that she’d adore you even more if you presented her with a gift of love. So, why not go the extra mile by treating her to a mother-daughter spa day at The Back Room? You’ll be able to bond over the exquisite treatments while sharing in your sisterhood.

Celebrate Your Love with a Happy Holiday Wedding


Hey, ladies! With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season in full swing, the thought of planning your wedding day is daunting – to say the least. Between Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa celebrations, it is quite a challenge to pull off your big day without a hitch. However, it isn’t an impossible feat and we at Yazzie & Co. can prove it to you. That’s right; you can make that holiday wedding happen without losing your mind in the process. You’ve taken the first step in visiting our wonderful blog, so scroll down to snag some terrific tips on how to hook up your holiday wedding.


One great thing about planning a wedding during the Christmas season is the great sales that you will come across. From floral arrangements to decorations, you’ll be able to purchase them at a steal. What’s better, you can come across the best ideas for wedding favors through the inexpensive items such as chocolate kisses in silver foil and peppermint-scented candles. In addition, you’ll find some of the best ideas for Christmas bridal décor such as delicate light strands, elegant holly trim, and beautiful snowflakes. Should you decide to host your ceremony in a church, we highly suggest attending services to get some wonderful wedding ideas. Not only will the church be decorated in a holiday theme, you’ll surely be inspired to express your vows in a soulful way. Love, life, and miracles will definitely come hand in hand with the spirit of the blessed season and the promise of a new beginning.


Still not convinced that you can pull off a happy holiday wedding in time? Well, we at Yazzie & Co. believe that with preparation and dedication, you can compose a lovely bridal ceremony. Send out your holiday wedding invitations three months in advance while testing out the cuisine through caterers and florists with do-it-yourself floral arrangements. If time is an issue, you can always compile holiday bridal ideas such as recipe clippings and magazine photos into a scrapbook as a wedding template. You can also use the yuletide season as an opportunity to choose festive colors such as silver, cream, burgundy, and light blue to outfit your wedding party. While your bridesmaids shine in soft silk, you can definitely make an entrance in a glamorous updo and a shimmering wedding dress..


The best part about a holiday wedding is that you’ll be uniting your nearest and dearest in celebration for one of the most sentimental times of the year. Not only will family and friends join you in blessing this new chapter in your life, they will also bring the aura of love and hope that the holidays will bring. With that being said, Yazzie & Co. wishes you the absolute best in life and love this holiday season.


Happy Holidays,.
