Hair Woes..

I have a confession..whenever I go to weddings, or see wedding photos I A. look at the dress then, B. proceed to look at the bride's hair. I am always interested to see how someone does their hair. I think that you can definitely enhance the dress by the style of your hair. I was looking through my old emails trying to clean out the old inbox and I came across an email from Brides.com that was all about finding your hair style.

This right here is my absolute favorite. Braids are big these days and I think this is simply elegant. There are so many different styles out there. Find one that best fits the dress!

I thought that adding pictures would be fun and it might spice up the blog!

Honeymoon!!!

So this is totally random. And I don't know why I've been thinking about this tonight but I've been thinking about places I'd like to go on my honeymoon. Ultimately I think the coolest place ever to go would be to Italy, but that's a little pricey. Plus let's be honest here, half the time, you don't really leave your room on your honeymoon. Which leads me to my point.

The best place to go/thing to do on your honeymoon is to take a cruise! All of your food is taken care of on cruises. There is entertainment always going on, so when you do take a break from your room there are things to do. And if you never leave your room at all, you still went on a cruise for a pretty decent price!

If it was my choice on where to go for that cruise, I would pick the Virgin Islands! Although pretty much anywhere would be cool. Happy Honeymoon!

Color Wheel of GREATNESS

Last summer when I was helping my friend Addie plan her December wedding, I came across Brides.com. We were going over colors and the different combinations for a winter wedding. I was so excited when I found this I spent at least 30 minutes going through all of the combos. This is probably my most favorite thing about planning a wedding. If you think about it, it is kind of like the first step of the process because if you don't have your colors then you don't know what to do for bridesmaids, groomsmen, the groom, reception, flowers...as you can see its a MAJOR part. This wheel is a fun way to explore the different color options that best fit you.

New Author.... Bad Magician!

So... we have another author now! My dear friend Kacey has decided she wants to join in the fun of talking about things we think are cool for weddings. We were sitting at a mutual friends wedding reception this evening when I told her about my blog and she was really excited to see it. I know she'll have a lot of insightful things! Yay for that!

Oh, and while we were at the reception, just FYI, don't have a magician. He was such a weird dude. I am still not completely sure what he was there for. I guess if you have a lot of little kids that will be at the reception its a way to keep them occupied. Personally, I just thought he was a dork. Who knows!?! I would just not recommend that one. Maybe for a party, but not a reception.

*Kacey reminded me about the Italian Sodas! This was an awesome idea. They had an Italian Soda bar instead of just water and lemonade. It was delicious! Oh and Kacey made the best flavored one! Raspberry Peach! It was great! Good job on the drinks Mandy!*

Photo Booth

Here's another idea for a photo booth that I think is really cool. Its from a website called Kiss the Groom. They basically created a background with holes in it so you can go into those "pictures." I really like this. If there's some sort of theme for my wedding, this would be a really cool thing to do for the photo booth guestbook.
