Doodle was not feeling well last night, so she slept out of her crate last night, and was taken to the vet promptly this morning. She had a tumor on her spleen, so they had to remove it. :( I was at work all day, so I was unable to come home, (I couldn't do anything for her anyways.) I came home, and ended up having to go with mom to take her to the ER from the Vets office to have her monitored for the evening...she's not doing so well, so please pray for her!<br />

In other news...<br />
<br />
Monday I worked at the magazine, and I decided to ask my boss if she wanted to go to Charlotte Fashion Week, she said YES (of course.) and was just going to buy the tickets. I had the bright idea to call and see if they would send us tickets, since we are media. Well, I called, and you guessed it...WE GOT TICKETS..... FRONT ROW tickets to Charlotte's Fashion Week on the Bridal night. :D<br />
<br />
Yesterday I worked at the shoe store, and had some time to come up with another brilliant idea...<br />
<br />
Today, (Wednesday), I decided to pose the idea to my boss about going to Atlanta's Bridal Market. This is a big deal, so I figured I would give it a shot. We quickly found out that it was the same week as Charlotte Fashion Week, so we wouldn't be able to attend both :( Here's where the brilliance comes in.... I then posed the idea of going to New York's Bridal Fashion Week. My boss that was a great idea, and again, she wanted to just buy the tickets. I told her, "Well let me throw around the fact that I work for a magazine, and see what they do." So I did. <br />
<br />
Here's the best part...<br />
<br />
I GOT SIX MEDIA PASSES AND CREDENTIALS FOR NEW YORK BRIDAL FASHION WEEK!<br />
<br />
Yes, I know...you might as well just pick me up off the ground..this is so huge for me!!! To sweeten the deal, they are allowing us to meet personally with the designers of the gowns and interview them, oh and we get to shoot video and take as many pictures as we want...OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
I am in total shock that I actually get to go to NYC and attend BRIDAL FASHION WEEK!!! Such a big highlight for me!Tulle and Lacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147369178554233639noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371026813240719567.post-395076133040936562012-08-07T10:13:00.000-04:002012-08-07T10:13:59.832-04:00A Few New ObsessionsThe past couple days I have been completely exhausted because of my awesome weekend!<br />
<br />
Last Thursday, I went to a networking event for the bridal showcase, and met with a lot of awesome people in the industry!! I also got to meet with a Stella and Dot Rep, who let me borrow a necklace for the day...I did not want to give it back.<br />
<br />
Sunday was the big day, I got to direct the fashion show, getting the girls lined up and ready to roll, it was super hectic, but fun! I wanted to go to sleep at 7pm that night... I ended up going to bed around 9 that night...loser. I have actually gone to bed that time every night since then. I am so tired, my eyes hurt!!!<br />
<br />
ANYWAYS, I have seen some amazing pictures that I must circulate, and you must see them!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;">So you have the groom and the ring, and now you are ready to hit the ground running to find that perfect dress! Congratulations! Here are some tips to finding that perfect dress while keeping mind of your budget and staying stress-free! </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>DO YOUR HOMEWORK!: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Go online, look in magazines, scour the newsstand to find anything and everything wedding related. When you think of your wedding day, what do you picture yourself wearing? Is it a full ball gown, or is it a form fitting mermaid style gown? Check out the different styles of wedding gowns, and make sure you know what you are looking for. Make sure you know your budget before making an appointment, you don't want to get your heart set on a $10,000 gown if you cannot afford it.</span></span></div><div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>MAKE AN APPOINTMENT: </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Most bridal salons ask that you make an appointment and come prepared. Make sure that you have an appointment with a consultant, and find out how much time you are alloted. Weekdays are the best time to have an appointment, because the consultant is able to give you their undivided attention, otherwise Saturday's are very hectic. Make sure that you have enough time to order your gown, as they take anywhere from six to eight months to come in, in a bridal salon. Some of the chains can get their gowns in quicker, it just depends on the designers. Bring pictures of what you have been looking at, and if the consultant has the dress, make sure they pull it for you. Ask the consultant to pull a few of their picks too, just to add some variety. Keep an open mind when you walk through the salon doors, as most the time you will not end up with the gown you had pictured. Go to a full service bridal shop, a shop that has bridal gowns, tuxedos, bridesmaids gowns, flower girl gowns, and on site alterations. Full service shops always have headpieces and veils, so make sure to try those on. If you want a designer gown, make sure you attend a designer sample sale, this will ensure a great deal for your wedding gown. </span></span> </div><div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>THINGS TO BRING TO AN APPOINTMENT:</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Make sure you bring a strapless bra, and the proper undergarments. Bring some money along just in case you happen to find </span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">the dress.</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Don't bring the entourage! While you would like to include everybody in the gown shopping process, make sure that you only bring two to three people. If you bring too many people, it can become confusing for you, and you will not know what you like. Do bring your mom! She will want to share this experience, and it will be an awesome experience for you both to cherish the rest of your lives. Bring an open mind, and don't look at the size of the gown you are trying on or measuring to. Color is very popular in wedding gowns, and your consultant might put you in a pink or black wedding gown, don't say no just yet! Bring a camera, and if the salon will let you, take some pictures to capture the moments when you come out in the dresses. Even if you don't like the gowns, the pictures make a great album later on, and you can laugh at the ones that you hated. Snap a picture of you and your consultant, especially if they sell you the gown, your consultant would love to have a picture of you two together, after all they did help you find that special gown. Make sure that if you do take pictures, that you do not show anyone, the more opinions you get, the more confused you are. </span></span></span> </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">ENTERTAIN THE IDEA: VEIL OR HEADPIECE:</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> If you have a particularly seasoned bridal consultant, they will automatically put you in a veil or headpiece of their choosing. This will do two things, it will make you feel like a bride, and it will complete the look. When looking at veils, some people are strictly against veils, and consider them “mosquito nets.” Keep an open mind, and try them on, it won't hurt, and you can take it off if you hate it! Your consultant will more than likely accompany the veil with a headpiece which will further complete the look, and enhance the dress. Most people go with a tiara or headband, but companies are quickly realizing that there are more than just the two choices. There are now pretty clips and other baubles that can grace your bridal day beauty. </span></span></span> </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">BELT IT UP!:</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> To create a defined waistline, bridal consultants have a clever trick up their sleeves, which is a beaded or colored belt. Belts have become a staple when it comes to bridal fashion, and complete the bridal look. For a more plain gown, or an all lace gown, sometimes the beaded belt or colored belts are just the perfect amount of definition that the gown needs. Sometimes with the addition of the belt, it can change the look of the whole gown, making it the one! </span></span></span> </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">COLOR IS ALL THE RAGE</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">: All gowns come in at least two colors across the board: white or ivory. Some companies have the addition of diamond white, or blush, and even red. This season, you can even see blue, purple, and pink. Anyone can wear white or ivory, it doesn't matter if you are a virgin or not anymore, it is all about what color looks best on your skin type. Brides who are wearing colored wedding gowns such as pink or blue, have a certain amount of confidence that they are exuding and want to express their certain style on their wedding day. </span></span></span> </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">ALTERATIONS 101</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">: Alterations can become pricey, especially if you have a lot to change about the dress. Rule of thumb is that if you have to change the entire style of the dress, it is not the dress for you. Typical changes in the dresses are the hemlines, because almost always the dress is too long. Some companies offer what's called a “hollow to hem” measurement, which is a measurement to make sure the dress is the correct length. The hollow to hem measurement is especially helpful if you have an all lace or beaded gown with a scalloped edge on the bottom of the gown, otherwise it is very pricey to get that fixed by an alterations professional. When making the first alterations appointment, make sure it's about three to four months in advance, and have them pin it first. Almost always the bustline will be taken in. If you are choosing to not wear a bra, then have the alterations person attach bust cups for the support. The last thing you want to see on your wedding day is your gown sagging in the front. Make sure that the dress is properly fitted in the bust, you don't want to be pulling the gown up all night long. </span></span></span> </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">NEVER BUY ONLINE</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">: You know those super cheap knock off sites that you can find the exact same dress for about $200, its too good to be true and NEVER buy from them! The dresses are coming from overseas, and they take forever to get to your home. In addition, the packages are not insured, and are not of good quality. Personally, I know of a bride that purchased a gown and it came to her hot glued together, and in the wrong size. Make sure you know who you are buying from, and if they are a legitimate company or not. The last thing you need is a dress coming in wrong, or having money taken and not returned back to you. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
I was looking on my Facebook page today, and I follow Style Me Pretty's site religiously, and they had this gorgeous picture up of some pretty bridesmaids dresses, with the caption "rent the runway!" So I looked them up.<br />
<br />
Style Me Pretty is one of my favorite wedding blogs, and they have plenty of things to look at daily. They have gorgeous pictures from fabulous weddings, and they post something almost every day... they are incredible! Here is their site... <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/">Style Me Pretty's Website </a><br />
<br />
Rent the Runway is a service that provides dress and accessory rentals online. It is very similar to <a href="http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/">Bag, Borrow or Steal's</a> concept, the only difference is the type of clothing rental. Rent the Runway has designer name brands for half the prices to rent, which is great for bridesmaids! They have sizes ranging from 0-14, unfortunately plus sizes are not available :( Here is their website... <a href="http://www.renttherunway.com/redir/rtr_home">Rent The Runway's Website</a>.<br />
<br />
So here is the amazing bridesmaids dress pictures... I just love the color scheme!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFcPQ0GERFDZaAjOGHZszaYGMBAPamjrR80gFYOX4kYoroK9T0B_uz_zww7JsWhHqUGIz0_AcJuophKNJIl3A2kveBg96PpYeQQ5_QUotobfdQCC3ge3fN0N8dKCqcUQet1zJ4s9cMobEn/s1600/facebook_943652450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFcPQ0GERFDZaAjOGHZszaYGMBAPamjrR80gFYOX4kYoroK9T0B_uz_zww7JsWhHqUGIz0_AcJuophKNJIl3A2kveBg96PpYeQQ5_QUotobfdQCC3ge3fN0N8dKCqcUQet1zJ4s9cMobEn/s320/facebook_943652450.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Another great way to save money on wedding costs is a site that I have known about for years... I stumbled upon them years ago, and kept it to myself, but I am here now to share with you! Check out <a href="http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/">Pre Owned Wedding Dresses</a> website to find gorgeous half price wedding gowns! This site connects you with former brides that just want to get a little extra cash by selling their wedding gowns. Some brides don't want to keep their wedding gown forever, so this is the perfect solution. Their gowns range from 0-30, and they have a range of designers. <br />
<br />
* There are links to each of the sites mentioned within this article! *Tulle and Lacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147369178554233639noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371026813240719567.post-9055835551904824052012-07-29T17:14:00.000-04:002012-07-29T17:14:11.816-04:00The Real Meaning Behind a WeddingToday, I was looking through Pinterest and well, quite frankly, pinning everything in sight... when I came across a picture with the caption, "showing the meaning of a wedding." The picture is of a bride and groom sitting down, with the groom kissing his wife's shoulder. Very sweet shot, you can feel the love from it. <br />
<br />
That got me thinking...<br />
<br />
You need a spectacular photographer who can tell your story, especially for those who were unable to come to your wedding.<br />
<br />
Which brought me to my next point...<br />
<br />
When picking your photographer, you have to know what you are looking for. There are lists of pictures found in popular magazines, and then there are, what I like to call, randoms. I think this is where Pinterest comes in. Along with Pinterest, look for weddinggawker.com, a former bride of mine told me about the site, and it is amazing. <br />
<br />
So to illustrate the meaning of true love in pictures, please take a look at my friends Meg & Adam, and Anna & Ricky, they were both married on the same day in May, I could only attend one wedding, haven't quite mastered the whole time travel thing yet! <br />
<br />
A little about Meg & Adam: Well, I have known Meg since 4th grade, we go way back. Meg is one of my best friends, and she has been through a lot through the years. When Adam came along, well, he's pretty perfect for her, and they are just the perfect couple. I don't think she could have found anyone more perfect than Adam. Love you guys!<br />

A little about Ricky & Anna: When I met Anna, I was a freshmen in college at JWU. She was one of my RA's and I totally looked up to her! Anna has an awesome accent, which I just love! Anna and Ricky met when she was working for the school, and so was he... he worked as a Safety and Security Officer, and he was also very nice. They have been together for years now, and I really was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to pop the question, but he finally did, and they got married this past May. Love you two!

<br />
The official term for them is called "Araucaria Arancana" or Monkey Tail in the US. They are found in a tree in southern Chile, western Argentina, and southern Brazil. They are sometimes known as a living fossil (talk about ironic) and this type of tree is known as the national tree of Chile.<br />
<br />
The Monkey Tail is literally a branch found on the tree, but must be conserved because they are considered at Vulnerable status on the conservation status chart. This means that if not cultivated and preserved, they might die out, and then we won't have them :(<br />
<br />
For now, I will leave you with some pretty bouquets with the monkey tails!!!<br />

Woop Woop!<br />
<br />
I stumbled upon some gorgeous invitations that I had to write about... They are laser cut invitations, inspired by the designers own wedding announcements. They are considered Papel Picado which means, perforated paper, and is a gorgeous Mexican form of art. They are a little on the pricey side, but let's get real, everything I like is pricey! (thanks mom!)<br />

I have had NO time to write a little something something for this blog, because I have to get 38 articles done by the end of August! So far, the count is at 22! I am almost there!! School is starting in about 26 days, not that I'm counting or anything...<br />
<br />
I am really enjoying my computer, and getting back into Pinterest...Follow me!!! Look me up! Please send me an email asking for my full name if you don't already know it! I got some business cards printed, and I am (not so patiently) awaiting their arrival. They are super pretty, and I can't wait to get them! Hopefully with me passing out my cards, it will generate some more traffic to my blog!!! <br />
<br />
Last week, I helped at the photo shoot for the magazine, and it was everything that I had anticipated and more! You know when you see on tv when you walk into a shoot, and theres music playing, and the model is up there doing their thing... yea, that was my life last week! It was incredible...AND I got to dress the models, so I got the extra hands on experience...it was SO amazing!!! I will post the link to that here... <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100441411045945.2414621.42408793&type=3&l=fb5a0bd011">Photo Shoot Pictures </a><br />
<br />
Next week I will be working at the bridal show, and I am so excited! I get to direct the fashion show, should be super fun!<br />
<br />

Here's the site for you! <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/8787">Lee DeWyze and Jonna Walsh Wedding</a><br />
<br />
Check out their wedding photo gallery, the subtle details that refer to music, including the hand made roses from sheet music, their sheet music program, the vintage dresser filled with memorable items, and not to mention that amazing gown!<br />
<br />
Inspiration is EVERYWHERE!<br />
<br />
Maybe you see a gorgeous pair of shoes that have light pink baubles on them with brown straps, inspiring a color scheme, or you are in a furniture store, and you see a great pillow that has many different colors, this could inspire your flowers. See what I mean? Inspiration is everywhere! <br />
<br />
Take a little time, and truly think about what type of wedding that you want as a couple. Maybe it's a vintage theme, with blooming roses under glass or it could very well be another theme of your choosing, either way, as long as it portrays your own personality, it will always be right for you!Tulle and Lacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147369178554233639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371026813240719567.post-45958865104616793122012-06-27T14:37:00.000-04:002012-06-27T14:37:38.059-04:00BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

The past six months have been a whirlwind, and I couldn't be any happier! I am back in school, and my first semester was pretty tough, but I made it through with a 3.3 GPA. I was only .05 away from reaching the Deans List, so that was really encouraging!<br />
<br />
I have secured a new job, at DSW Shoe warehouse, and it truly is the best job ever for shoe retail! I get a sweet discount, and not to mention I get to look at shoes all day long. My computer died midway through the semester, so I have been without one for the past four months. It has been rough without one. Thankfully, I have the internet on my phone, which I totally utilize, and also my moms computer. When I was in school, I would borrow a computer from the school, which was usually a MAC. <br />
<br />
I have been paying on a new computer, and hopefully within the next month or so, I will be able to bring it home. It is a used Mac computer, and I am so thrilled to be getting it! <br />
<br />
I will be making a big announcement next week, probably Friday, about some awesome things in my life, that my readers should know about! So PLEASE STAY TUNED!<br />
<br />
ENOUGH ABOUT ME!<br />
<br />
I just want to end this post today, with a little sparkle in your day!<br />
<br />
Verragio came out with this gem, and I would love nothing other than to rock this bauble---more than you know!<br />

It pictures a bride getting ready for her wedding and the dress that she is wearing is simply stunning! I have been searching for this dress for quite some time now, and I could not find it! I ended up emailing Estee Lauder last night, and this morning I had a response! The gown is by Oscar de la Renta, and its from the Spring 2011 line. The stunning Oscar de la Renta gown is silk taffeta, with a gorgeous sweeping skirt, and a draped sleeve. Talk about elegant!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are some more princess gowns, from one of my favorite designers: <a href="http://www.allurebridals.com/">Allure Bridals</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Their gowns are some of my favorites because of the quality of the gowns, and the romantic fabrics that they use. Their designs are timeless, and sleek. Their new 2012 line is really stunning, and you can see why.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Speaking of Princess gowns, I suppose it is only fitting to mention the Alfred Angelo Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Gowns. They have completely redone their princess gowns, some even in other colors other than white or ivory. Here is the link to their site: <a href="http://www.alfredangelo.com/collections/displaycollection.aspx?CategoryId=1975d565-34d2-4d81-90c9-437deabe902d">Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Gowns by Alfred Angelo</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They are romantic, and for the right bride, they are the perfect dress! Remember, find the dress that "speaks to you" and makes you feel beautiful. Once that wedding gown is found, everything else will fall into place! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

There is a growing trend in slits in wedding gowns. Yes, I did say a slit in a wedding gown. I don't understand this mentality of looking sexy on your wedding day. On your wedding day, you want to look classy, and sophisticated, not immortalized with a picture of your leg hanging out there! Leave that for your wedding night, not for the ceremony! I think that a slit is a great idea for the reception, but not for the ceremony! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While I think that these gowns are very pretty, I do not think that they are appropriate for a wedding. I think that they could be more appropriate on the red carpet in another color. </div><br />
There is one exception to this rule, in my opinion. There is a gown by Casablanca Bridal that includes a "zipper-slit." I LOVE THIS DRESS! The BEST quality of this gown is that for the ceremony, you can have the zipper down, and then let loose and unzip it for the reception.<br />
<br />
Here is the beautiful gown...<br />
By the way- it is Casablanca 2022. :D<br />

I have been collecting them for years now, and have quite the extensive collection. I have about five boxes to be exact, of which are all organized. One box is hand-made ornaments that were made from my grandma. Each year, grandma asked me what I would like, among the most recent ones include Squidward from Spongebob Squarepants, Boo and Mike from Monsters Inc. Call me a child, but I love them! Two boxes are dedicated to Hallmark ornaments, while another box is dedicated to just barbies. The remaining boxes are dedicated to glass ornaments. I have twenty four barbie ornaments to be exact. They range from barbies in ball gowns to cute little bikinis. This year's Hallmark ornaments are so adorable and I want them all! Check them out...<a href="http://www.hallmark.com/product/keepsake-ornaments/barbie">Awesome Barbie Ornaments</a><div><br />
</div><div>On a side note, I found online yesterday the Kate Middleton bride barbie doll. Needless to say, I love her, and I want her! I found her on the Bradford Exchange website. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Check her out! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUEGk0wj1jXC9wQLTlTFII0cLvdgu0fAhnE0DVIsQFhrFuABpGYJYtFwLCMvGpGSRA8F5YgZJVw_AOAJ-EnKEGKr2jNlEM9MB8HJ3KJP4icoZX-mcx0P4cKne993CVajno1ZJOCQEGtWu/s1600/3576588.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdUEGk0wj1jXC9wQLTlTFII0cLvdgu0fAhnE0DVIsQFhrFuABpGYJYtFwLCMvGpGSRA8F5YgZJVw_AOAJ-EnKEGKr2jNlEM9MB8HJ3KJP4icoZX-mcx0P4cKne993CVajno1ZJOCQEGtWu/s320/3576588.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div>I have had a love of fashion since a little kid, and it really shows. The majority of my ornaments include heels, and other girly things, with an abundance of glitter. I just picked up some lace a couple days ago from a antique store, and I thought it might be cool to use as garland one day.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So what does this have to do with my bridal blog you ask? Well, my thought was that you could incorporate your collection into your wedding. Maybe when I get married, my favor would be a Christmas ornament. That is something I would like to leave you with. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Do you collect teapots? Why not use them as a centerpiece so that you don't have to purchase centerpieces! Or what about vintage cameras, purchase some vintage cameras and give them as favors. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Be creative and embrace your collection! </div></div>Tulle and Lacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147369178554233639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371026813240719567.post-14585880025131403802011-12-17T18:47:00.000-05:002011-12-17T18:47:23.943-05:00Oh for the love of cake!I was in the grocery store today picking things up for home-made pizza, and I always make my rounds to the magazine section. I saw the January edition of Brides Magazine and I was so intrigued. the cover dress is a Carolina Herrera wedding gown, valued at over $8000. It was so stunning, and so un-traditional, that it piqued my interest and I had to open the book! (guess that's what they want you to do) Although it didn't have any of the "cake-like" qualities such as pickups or organza flowy parts to the skirt, I couldn't help thinking of cake. (Maybe it was the brownies in my cart!"<br />
<br />
Here's the gorgeous dress!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When thinking of ideas for a cake, think of something that is not only going to compliment your personal wedding style, your theme, time of year, etc, but also make it reflect you and your groom to be. It will always look classy if it reflects you! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I promise to make a conscious effort to blog at least a little somethin, something every day! <br />
<br />
I have a lot to blog about right now, but I will keep it to a minimum... otherwise we might be here all day!<br />
<br />
Couple of updates on me, before we start. Since last blogging, I started working at another location, and I got into school!!! I applied at a university down here in NC, and got in!!! Majoring in Communications Studies with a focus in Journalism and Mass Media. What do I want to do with that you ask... WELL, Ultimately I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to work for Brides Magazine, that would be incredible! I have also found a couple other dream jobs that would be fabulous! I start school on my 25th Birthday which is in exactly 25 days WOOHOO!<br />
<br />
Now onto the really really good stuff...<br />
My facebook friends already know about this AHHH-Mazing find, but I thought I might fill in my blog followers as well!<br />
<br />
I stumbled upon this fabulous pair of shoes on Brides Magazine's website, well not their website per say- actually the UK's version of Brides Magazine! <br />
<br />
These shoes are called Sakura, and I am pretty much in LOVE with them. I have never seen a pair of shoes that are this exquisite, and just simply amazing. Words really cannot describe how amazing these are. (and yes, I know how many times I say amazing!)<br />
<br />
Without further ado...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ya know, I have some really good friends, and fabulous brides too! I thought I should mention that because they have told me about this incredible site that is just...wow. You may or may not know about this site and if you don't, well I am so excited to tell you about it. It is literally a virtual pin board, so that you can organize all of your awesome pictures that you look up online! You can literally organize your favorite things, "these are a few of my favorite things... (AWWW)" into an online database, without taking space up on your computer! This is a really good thing for me, because for one, I already have a ba-gillion pictures saved on my computer, and its already online, you can just go there anytime, and look it up!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyways, heres the amazing site called (drum roll please!)-----<a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It works a little funky when you first want to join however... You can get a board immediately if you are invited by a friend (you can send me your email, and I will invite you!) or you can sign up, and then it will send you an invite when there is space. Its that exclusive, don't you just feel special! haha!!!!!!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For now, that is all, I hope that I have inspired you today with the amazing shoes, and pinterest... just get an account with them, and waste your day away- its so possible! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One of the things that brides ask for most is for something that is unique to their bridal look. They always want something “different” and unique to their style. There are many ways that you can customize your bridal style, just some are more noticeable than others. </span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One of my favorites: Adding a custom monogram to the inside of your gown.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_iDi1Xt7eL-5cBGjujTuYdhVoFKiwIbuk7j0HKfi0E6dz6uOv4sydUYSEq_OjHz87JoqmhIFVBe4GP1mafCnV2o3vAFXq76TXe6UZ4HBkN9mejsdh_5thg8hsBfMOA0ey5qztrwM2okj/s1600/weddingDressLabel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_iDi1Xt7eL-5cBGjujTuYdhVoFKiwIbuk7j0HKfi0E6dz6uOv4sydUYSEq_OjHz87JoqmhIFVBe4GP1mafCnV2o3vAFXq76TXe6UZ4HBkN9mejsdh_5thg8hsBfMOA0ey5qztrwM2okj/s320/weddingDressLabel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Another way, is to monogram the bridal veil, which is so amazing in my opinion.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/26589824/bridal-veil-monogrammed-fingertip-length">http://www.etsy.com/listing/26589824/bridal-veil-monogrammed-fingertip-length</a> </span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You can also customize your gown, and I am very surprised that it has finally surfaced...</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjESRDRUc8HOQ6i0LT5-eJuxLvsTA1THsiIuJClU1-7VKwzCPBjq2gPe_JPUv1Y3hLFAybWc8xlEnNZGKj43Fn1nKgIxzU6SaT5p_p7AgUB-Ed0Nv6r8wgsA8_zJ4XUQHLHPL8GxdaW2o5I/s1600/Christian+Dior+Blue+China+Gown.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjESRDRUc8HOQ6i0LT5-eJuxLvsTA1THsiIuJClU1-7VKwzCPBjq2gPe_JPUv1Y3hLFAybWc8xlEnNZGKj43Fn1nKgIxzU6SaT5p_p7AgUB-Ed0Nv6r8wgsA8_zJ4XUQHLHPL8GxdaW2o5I/s320/Christian+Dior+Blue+China+Gown.jpg" width="230" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Andalus, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
