Custom Portraits

Ever think about commissioning an artist for a custom wedding portrait? 

Yeah, I hadn't either, until I saw some of the awesome portraits on Etsy.

Now, I haven't ordered one yet (trying to save a bit), but I still might.

How cute is this by NanLawson?

Many other examples on my guest post on Wedding Window.

Happy Feet

I'm still waiting for the official wedding photos to give you the details, but in the meantime, check out my guest post on WeddingWindow.com on some of the adorable shoes out there that are perfect for a wedding.

Or you can just get some cute sandals. :)

Gettin' Hitched

Another week of business trips means another week without a post...so sad.

Until I can get back in the kitchen, enjoy my country-themed guest post on WedLoft!

Guest Blog - The Everyday Bridesmaid

You all know how much I love the topic of bridesmaid dresses.

So here's one more (and not just in blue this time)!

Check out my guest post on the WedLoft by Wedding Window blog!

Baby, It's Cold Inside

Well, let's see...

It's been over a week since my last blog entry.

I've went to the Mojave Desert for a couple days for work:


and I came home to a broken heater.
(I didn't think I'd want to go back to the desert once I got home)

But no heat means that it's a good day to bake (and stand in front of the oven). So hopefully, I'll have something new to post soon.

Until then, check out my next Guest Blog post on WedLoft by WeddingWindow.com on how to personalize a post-wedding brunch!

Our Best Year Ever!

I can't believe that time snuck by me so quickly! Seriously? My last post was Thanksgiving? Wow. That's bad (and I've got the terrible stats to prove it)

Aside from one random spike due to StumbleUpon.

Well there are lots of new things going on, but most importantly (at least as it pertains to this blog), it's time to kick wedding planning into high gear.

We're in pretty good shape...

Ceremony location - check!

Reception hall - check!

Photographer - check!

Officiant - check!

DJ - sort of check! (need to send a confirmation)

Save the dates - sent! (uh, at least I think they're all sent)

Kids bags - made! (yeah, I know...we don't even know officially how many are coming...priorities schmriorities)

I've also become a guest blogger on Wedding Window's new blog. Check out my first post on alternative groomsmen's gifts.

To kick off the new year, I wanted to share some of my favorite (favorite, favorite, favorite) photos from our photographers from The Observatory.
