BRIDE'S MARCH MADNESS!! I have great data you can spill out to your man and you know what -- the possibilities for your "dream team" are even higher!

Have you heard of Quintillion?  That’s how many bracket outcome possibilities exist. Not just one quintillion, though. With the expansion to 68 teams, there are now 147,573,952,589,676,412,928 possibilities. That’s over 147 quintillion! Oh my gosh that's 21 numbers long! This makes your odds of picking a perfect bracket  9.2 quintillion to 1. You have a better chance of winning the lottery! 

I'm glad to know that even though I decide my brackets based on the color of the teams jerseys- I have as good of a chance to win as my husband who knows the spreads of the games. Spreads to me are for the bed or a sandwich.

For Bride's March Madness it's so much easier and more fun to decide a winner! We are down to the FINAL FOUR! I will show you four categories today that you can make a part of your brackets... Tip off right now! 

The first one we get to think about and you can even do tastings for is the wedding cake. I think this is one of the most exciting things to decide for the BIG DANCE. You can also choose a Groom's Cake-- I love just looking at these, they are so creative! This is going to be fun!

Well maybe this is my favorite team/category- Transportation- because I love antique cars.  There's just something about a vintage car! If you want to add a great piece to your wedding consider using an antique car- or at least do a bridal shoot by it or something! This is like a "shoot-around" in photography! Remember vintage is in...

The past few weeks I have taken my own tour of Utah to see tons of wedding professionals. I'm going to show you a few of them this week. I wish all of you could have done what I did and had a "show and tell" at all of these different places. Utah is so diverse and beautiful! Since you couldn't be with me I will do my best to show you what I found! 

I'm starting with Northern Utah. I had a great day in Logan- it was beautiful with all the white mountains around. I stopped at Anniversary Inn which I love because of it's creativity (and the homemade chocolate chip cookie they gave me). Here is a look at a couple of rooms there...

   

Of course I had to go to the BlueBird for a good old fashioned ice cream sundae. Another highlight was the princess fairytale reception center that I fell in love with! It is Castle Manor. Let the pictures tell/show the story. It was gigantic- just like a real castle! You are going to love this! 

           

           

These are some pics I took while I was there... the first ones are the beautiful Brides Room

    

It's beautiful, isn't it! The Castle Manor has a great offer, exclusive to BrideAccess brides: "We would like to offer $150 in free upgrades with a reservation of any of our areas at Castle Manor when mentioning this blog post!"

I really enjoyed my day at Logan. A great college town with a lot of history to go with it. Amazing prices and down to earth, fun people! 

On my way home found in Bountiful, Utah is the great Eldredge Manor. I love the historic charm this venue has! 

 

   

This has been such a fun day in Northern Utah. I can't wait to show you the variety you get in Utah Weddings! 

 

 Where did some of our popular wedding traditions originate?  I loved researching these traditions, some of them are pretty funny! 

 Inside this blog are the new Pantone 2012 Spring Fashion Colors... 

 

 

          Robin was on Good Things Utah and talked about some of these traditions...
