Wedding season coming to an end...

I finished my last bridal order for the year, this past weekend. YAY!!!! This year, as with the first two, I was fortunate to work with some great clients who were both easy going and creative people, who really allowed me to do my thing - So I couldn't have asked for anything more!

So now, that the year is coming to a close - I can blog more now ( aka share my two cents lol ) and introduce you to some of my industry pals from Chicago, as well as my extended creative family. I'll also share more professional pis of the weddings I worked on this year, along with anything else that is hip, cool and wedding & love related! Stay tuned dearies :-)

For All The Single Ladies...

He's out there ladies! Don't get discouraged, focus on you and believe God will bless you with that One to love you :-)

This Day... This Very Moment!

I love this song because if anybody knows me I am a HUGE Jodeci fan and so is my hubby :-) I never even knew this song was a "wedding" song until my then boyfriend and soon to be fiance showed me the video. He went on to joke, "if" we get married - we gotta use this song :-) Needless, to say we used this song during our processional!

Enjoy!

Something Borrowed, Something Blue ...

Various shades of blue- A broom and an bouquet designed for Mrs. Terri & Mrs. Katrina! Congratulations to you both!

love advice from Maegan...

If you like reading about fashion from a real-life perspective, You'll love the love Maegan blog! She really has a great sense of style, rocking everything from vintage to creating her own diy fashions ( which are phenomenal). But anyway, this week she is celebrating her 4th year of marriage and she shared some real life tips on staying in finding and staying in love!

Her tips sound so real , and you know thats the only way I come- which is why I had to share a couple with them with you:

* Don't marry someone who you'll love "if" ...accept them for who they are now, not who you think they will become {chances are they won't change and neither will you}.

* You're together because he treats you wonderfully and vice versa, not because of the way he looks or what his job title is, those are secondary. Most importantly, does he treat you the way you want to be treated. Period. No question mark.

* Accept your similarities AND your differences. Having different interests is important. And so is coming together uniting and enjoying the same activity.
