Welcome to the Forest House Lodge Blog from Sienna Forrester, Wedding Journalist

Good Afternoon my fellow lovers of all things wedding!

As many of you Forest House Lodge Brides and Grooms may already know, my name is Sienna Forrester and I do a few different things here at the Forest House: assistant to client services and coordination, day-of concierge and now – wedding journalist! My focus as wedding journalist is help bring specialized content, personality and excitement to the first ever Forest House Blog. I have been a part of the Forest House Lodge wedding legacy for three years now, and I must say I love what I do. I want to share my passion for weddings with you!

We are so excited to get the blog finally up and running, so first off I thought I would introduce the Forest House Lodge to those of you who have never met us…

We are a wedding world of our own!  Forest House Lodge is a private wedding venue dedicated to delivering dreams, making unforgettable memories and exceeding expectations! The Forest House staff has been wholeheartedly dedicated to weddings for the past 9 years totaling in more than 650 legacy weddings. We work with over 80 Brides & Grooms each year learning new things and forming new friendships each time a family walks through the front doors. Our intent is to be both professional and personal; we like people to feel as though the Lodge is a home away from home, a place where they can enjoy the company of family and friends, while being served fantastic food and drinks, cruise ship-like service, all the while remembering the love that brought them all together!

Our Blog’s Mission:
      The purpose of our blog is to talk about our passion with the wedding celebration with others inside and outside the Forest House experience, and to provide alternative, creative views on crafting unforgettable weddings. Being a business that is obsessed with innovation, we feel the constant need to be unique! We cherish it when Brides and Grooms come to us with their ideas that embrace who they are for all their guests to see and of course, we want to share these incredible ideas with you. We are interested in all aspects of a creative wedding world; therefore we will share with you so much more than just phenomenal wedding stories. Also, we know better than anyone that planning for a wedding is a very big undertaking, especially for those unfamiliar with all that is involved. Therefore, it is part of our personal mission and therefore the blog’s to help streamline the Forest House Lodge planning process and additionally, make it fun! The blog will assist in this by continuing to share ideas and inspirations that we discover upon our research journeys.

As the Forest House Lodge Wedding Journalist, it is my goal to relieve some of the stress of idea research and to simply help you to just have fun and enjoy being creative with your special day – always remember, your personality should show through in every phase of your wedding!

Ideas and what’s coming:

Legacy Weddings     
Over the past few years we have met some amazing, incredible couples and guests of whom we will never forget. We have so many good memories that we hold dear to us, and we would like to share some of their stories with you. We love hearing the stories of how our Brides and Grooms met and how the proposal was made. We will be sharing a few of those stories with you. When it comes to planning a wedding you can never have too many ideas! Whether its invitations, escort cards, centerpieces, dresses, cake, favors, décor… I could go on and on!

Innovation Updates
We want to keep you updated on the Forest House as well! Whether you have already been married with us or you are going to be married with us, or even attending a wedding, people want to know about the updates and improvements we are constantly making so innovation updates will be posted as well. There are few things better than the anticipation of a great idea, gift or thing but couple that with the ability to create ideas around use these innovations ahead of time is all the better.

Also, let us know if there are ideas that are swimming around in your wedding notebook that you would like to see done at the Forest House Lodge. The best innovations are the ones that YOU tell us you need. Don’t get us wrong, innovating is a great way for us flex our “creative muscles” but the point of it is to make your experience incredible and unrivaled. So send in those ideas!

Cake Pictorials (The Realms of Sweetness)
Each quarter or season we will place additional images of Monica’s creations on her very own Blog page “Cakes and the Realms of Sweetness”. Of course, these pastry sculptures are worth their weight in viewing pleasure but alas, we are an informational blog and we want you to get as much of a take away as is possible. That said the cake images will serve as a great visual library for your upcoming cake designs.

Sienna’s Idea Pulse
This is where real wedding research gets fun and informative! Each month I will serve the best from my note-taking spelunking through the caves of wedding wonderment! For example, our first posting in the Idea Pulse format will be on Photo-booths and how they can best be used at the Forest House. Such information would come from our personal experiences with photo-booths (an incredibly interactive way to get your guests involved), what our current vendors are doing and what we have seen out there in the land of wedding creativity that would probably work well for the Lodge.

That’s a lot to cover in our initial welcome post and we guarantee there is more to come because, fortunately, weddings change as tastes and generations change and we’re there to meet it head on! So whether you are a new couple enjoying the process of planning the year’s greatest celebration, a legacy couple that wants to be always be in touch with the incredible memory of your special day or perhaps you just want to know what all of the buzz is about concerning this ‘Forest House Lodge place’ that everyone keeps talking about, then look no further! We will do our best in pulling the lid off of the joy that erupts at our Lodge each weekend and give you a sneak peek into wedding bliss….

With love and care,
