We decided to sell our condo. The time is right for house hunting, the spring market means a lot of new inventory and prices are still relatively low. Of course, before we can settle into our dream home we have sell our condo. Now that the place is officially listed is making me a bit nostalgic. This will always be the first home we ever owned and I'm going to miss it. I decided to pull together a home tour so you can see how our condo has progressed over the past almost 5 years. </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm going to break this post up into a few otherwise it would be really long. Let's start with the living room. Our living room and dining room are actually one large space.

Especially since I've been MIA, I promise I have a good excuse. </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">This past week and half I've thrown myself head first into a PR project and I'm learning as I go. My oldest brother is the Interim Executive Director of the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gmcla.org/">GMCLA</a>). How cool is that? Most recently the GMCLA has teamed up with the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.itgetsbetter.org/">It Gets Better Project</a>&nbsp;to take the message of "It Gets Better" offline and produce a touring stage production that will include a mixture of music, multimedia, and live theater. At each stop of the U.S. tour performances will be presented in tandem with a weeklong series of community outreach activities to strengthen local LGBT support networks.</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Hundreds of hours will be volunteered by the artistic and producing team to create this show, but money is still needed to help fund the show’s development costs. Equipment is also needed to stage and tour the show, including microphones and other audio equipment, instruments, costumes, props, set materials, and road gear to house it all. In order to fund the production the team has created a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/728876707/it-gets-better-the-musical-theater-project">Kickstarter campaign</a>. The goal is to raise $75,000 and with only 6 days left we still need to raise about $20,000.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <center></center><br /> <br /> <div class="gmail_quote"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been busy emailing bloggers and newspapers, tweeting celebrities who are active in the LGBT community, creating Facebook ad campaigns, and reaching out to any connection I have. &nbsp;It's hard work but I have to say, when you are passionate about the project it's very rewarding and doesn't feel that difficult. I'm confident that the goal will be met but we can use all the help we can get so please forward this on to anyone you know who might be interested in donating or writing about the project.

We have a lot of the important vendors booked but there is still a lot to do. The <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.mitchtheminister.com/">officiant</a> is booked, he is actually the first person we hired after deciding on a venue. Mitch married Nick's cousin was a total riot. We are not very serious people so it will be nice to have a ceremony with a little fun built in. My dress has been ordered since December (sorry no pictures, it's a surprise) and I finally picked out <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.billlevkoff.com/style/bridesmaid-dress/574">bridesmaid dresses</a>. I swear choosing a dress for my girls was harder than choosing my own dress. Now we can shop for the fun things, like shoes. We have also decided on the entertainment and just yesterday I booked the photographer! Finding a photographer that fit my style but also my budget was difficult but think we are going to be really happy with the choice of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kateleigh.com/#splash-page-f4ca2">Kate Leigh</a>. Her photographs feel very intimate and natural, there are no awkward poses or forced smiles.

What I had in mind was something like these curtain panels:&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35292112@N00/6830202714/"><img alt="The Connaught Mayfair Hotel Dip Dye Curtains" height="424" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7206/6830202714_f5b665f603_z.jpg" width="565"/></a><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:xx-small;"><br /></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Gorgeous, right? The final result of my dying experiment was this:&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35292112@N00/6969915425/"><img alt="dip dye curtains" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7197/6969915425_400148cd0a_z.jpg" width="565"/></a><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:xx-small;"><br /></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Not quite as gorgeous. &nbsp;I had originally wanted to leave the top of curtains white like the ones in the photo above but I touched them with my dye covered hands so I had to continued the gray color all the way to the top of the curtain. You might also notice that my curtain panels are not exactly the same. I attempted two different dye methods which yielded slightly different results. With the panel on the right I submerged all of it in the dye and then slowing removed the panel so that the bottom would be darker than the top. For the panel of the left I worked from the bottom keeping each section submerged for about 30 seconds. I think I had more success with the second method but should have kept each section submerged for longer periods of time.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:xx-small;"><br /></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">I would also like to try one other dye method. I'm interested to see what would happen if I just dipped the bottom half of the curtain in the dye and leave it there for several minutes to soak up the dye and have it organically travel up the panel. In my head it would look really cool but I have no idea how it would actually turn out. Which is why I would suggest experimenting with inexpensive curtains like these (I believe these curtains cost $15 for the set) because I'm not too upset that they didn't turn out exactly as I hoped they would.&nbsp;</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:x-small;"><br /></span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana,

My first attempt making French Macaroons was abysmal. The end result of my baking efforts was essentially Nilla wafers. Tasty yes, but not macaroons. The macaronage was runny and the pied (or foot) never formed. I blame some of my failure on inexperience and the rest on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/I-Love-Macarons-Hisako-Ogita/dp/0811868710/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1330540954&amp;sr=8-1">this cookbook</a>, I don't recommend it. Undeterred, I decided I needed more guidance so I took the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://desserttruck.wordpress.com/workshops/">French Macaroon workshop</a> offered by the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://desserttruck.wordpress.com/about/">Dessert Truck</a>. It was a great experience and I really learned a lot though the process taught at the workshop was kind of tedious so I was not very confident that I could recreate my classroom success at home.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <center><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35292112@N00/6795543728/"><img alt="macaron macaroon french vanilla bean machi green tea butter cream" height="303" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7036/6795543728_680c0dfe49.jpg" width="490"/></a></center><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">That is until I discovered this blog - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bravetart.com/recipes/Macarons">BraveTart</a>. The author totally demystifies the entire macaroon making process and after I read her <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bravetart.com/blog/MacaronMyths">10 Macaroon Myths </a>and <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bravetart.com/blog/TheTenCommandments">10 Macaroon Commandments</a> posts I was ready to tackle the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bravetart.com/recipes/Macarons">Macaroon Recipe</a>. The results are night and day from my first attempt. &nbsp;I can't wait to try them again. I think I slightly over-mixed the batter because my macaroons could have risen a bit more but overall I'm really happy with the results. It helps when you have some guidance that doesn't make you feel like there is some vengeful macaroon god waiting to thwart you and leave you with cracked or deflated macaroons.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br

mentioned yesterday that it is important for me to get dressed each morning and <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.designevolutionblog.com/2012/02/change-can-be-good-even-if-it-is.html">put on some makeup</a> even when I don't have plans to leave the house. It's a nice boost to the self esteem to feel some what put together. My morning routine is simple and quick so I thought you might be interested in seeing the products I use. There's a mix of drugstore and more expensive products here. Lately drugstore brands, like Maybelline for example, have been putting out some really great products but there are some high end brands that I think are worth the investment.</span><br /> <div> <br /> <br /> <center><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35292112@N00/6888685511/"><img alt="simple 5 minute makeup" height="400" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7036/6888685511_8567f1f285_o.jpg" width="490"/></a></center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Step 1 - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lauramercier.com/store/shop/Tinted-Moisturizers_Tinted-Moisturizer-SPF-20_prod210061">Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer</a>. I read for years about how this is the world's favorite tinted moisturizer but didn't try it until I received a free sample. I'm sold. I have oily skin but don't feel it's necessary to use the oil-free version. With this product I can skip moisturizer after cleansing and the tint gives a good amount of coverage. I have acne acne scarring and this certainly doesn't cover them all but it does fade them a bit. If I feel like putting in the extra effort I will use my <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lauramercier.com/store/shop/Concealers_Secret-Camouflage_prod220004">Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage</a> to cover spots.</span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Step 2 - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=279050&amp;catid=183550&amp;cmbProdBrandFilter=64747&amp;aid=338666&amp;aparam=279050">Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser</a>. The sponge applicator on this product is nice and soft, it's easy to apply, and the coverage is good. This is a new addition to my collection but I really like it. </span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Step 3 - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P125408">NARS Powder Foundation</a>. This gives me a little extra coverage since I'm only wearing tinted moisturizer. It also helps reduce my forehead shine. </span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Step 4 - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.maybelline.com/products/164/eyes/eye-shadow/eye-studio-color-tattoo-24hr-cream-gel-shadow/tenacious-teal/40?shadeId=917&amp;view=shades&amp;position=564">Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bronze.</a> This product is brand new but it is great. These cream eyeshadow pots rival MAC's paint pots but are about 1/2 the price. I just sweep it across the lid with my finger and the shadow lasts all day. The shade range is limited right now but they're pretty popular so hopefully Maybelline comes out with more colors. </span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Step 5 - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P278610">Tart Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful</a>. I'm in a coral cheek phase. I love this color though this is probably one of those products that you can replace with a less expensive version. These clay blushes come with a lot of beauty claims that I'm not sure I subscribe to, although I do like that they are made without some of the nasty chemicals that are often found in make up products. </span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Step 6 - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P255102&amp;categoryId=RVP">Tart LipSurgence Natural Lip Tint</a>. A sweep of color across the lips and then I'm ready for the day. These lip tints are really moisturizing but still deposit a nice amount of color on the lips, not something you often find in a moisturizing product. </span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">That seems like a lot of words but I promise it is all really easy to apply.

Yesterday I shared some <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.designevolutionblog.com/2012/02/last-stop-venezia.html">huge, exciting news</a> and today I have some more life changing news to share. Unfortunately this news is a little less jubilant than yesterday's news. I got laid off from my job this week. I'm sharing this with all of you because considering the current job market some of you may be in the same situation. I thought it might be helpful (for you and me) to share what it's like to go through this process. I named this blog Design Evolution because I intended it to be a place where I would write about the progress of decorating, art, and craft projects and now it can be a place where I document by life's evolution. I have a great support system and a lot of positive energy coming my way so I'm looking at this as the opportunity I've been waiting for to figure out what my passion is. My plan is to pepper in my Day in the Life of the Unemployed amongst my existing content and I'll try to keep the tone light hearted (but I'm not making any promises) so I don't bum you all out. </span><br /> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">First up - a plan to keep myself sane: </span></div> <div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">1 - Get dressed everyday.

before we left for our trip to Italy when I mentioned that one of the places we would be visiting was Venice everyone's response was "A day and half is all you really need before you get sick of Venice". That was not true for us at all. It may be because it was our departing port which meant we actually had a few days to explore the city at a more relaxed pace. There may be another reason we loved Venice so much but you have to stay tuned until the end of the post to find out what reason is ;)<br /><br />Venice is all about exploring and getting lost in its twisting, turning alleys. Driving isn't option because there are no roads so we spent all of our time wandering from one side of the island to the other. </span><div><br /></div><div><center><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35292112@N00/6881285889/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7200/6881285889_be74068d40.jpg" width="480" height="360" alt="venice canals gondola romantic"/></a></center><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><br />Wandering really is the only way you can get around because streets begin and end and twist and turn without rhyme or reason.</span></div><div><br /><center><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35292112@N00/6881287703/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6881287703_90497668b0.jpg" width="480" height="360" alt="venice view fro clock tower"/></a></center><br /><center><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35292112@N00/6881288351/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7198/6881288351_3af3d9f0c6.jpg" width="480" height="360" alt="venice view fro clock tower"/></a></center><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Venice has a strange, sordid, interesting history and everything is beautiful.

href="http://lowehousecreative.com/testimonials/">Lowe House Creative</a> until Elizabeth approached me about sponsorship.... But based on our rapid-fire, cheerful, INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT email correspondence, I'd happily recommend her to anyone.<br /> <br /> Here's Elizabeth:<br /> <br /> <i>So, why the f*ck do you need a Wedding Planner or Coordinator? It's just an extra unneeded service that the wedding industry is trying to con you into spending money on, right? Well... not really.</i><br /> <br /> <i>OK, the truth is, you don't </i>need<i> a Wedding Planner. Weddings are by nature a kind of luxury (for the sake of this piece we're going to define "wedding" as not an elopement, or a restaurant meal following a courthouse ceremony, or a thrown-together-in-a-month barbecue, even though those are some of my favorite kinds of weddings), and hiring someone to help you plan your wedding is a luxury as well. A wedding is just a large (albeit special) party, and the truth is that anyone is capable of planning a party.</i><br /> <br /> <i>That said, you might want a Planner. Why? Here are just a few reasons:</i><br /> <br /> <i>1.&nbsp;<b>You've never planned a big party and even thinking about it makes your head hurt.</b> You literally have no idea where to start (pro-tip: start with making your guest list, the number of guests determines everything else), what your options are, where to find a caterer/venue/florist/DJ, what those people normally charge, if it's possible to have the type of wedding you want for the amount of money you want to spend, etc. A fair amount of my clients come to me after having been engaged for quite a while, because they kept getting stuck on one of the above, and finally just wanted to get the damn thing over with already.</i><br /> <br /> <i>2.&nbsp;<b>Your family is difficult, wants super different things in a wedding than you do, and they don't take you seriously.</b> A wedding planner can help convince your mother/sister/cousin-in-law/step-grandmother that actually, yes, the type of wedding you want is not only OK, it's been done before, people will love it, no problem you can actually fit this many people into this space/feed them food off a truck/only serve beer and wine/not toss your bouquet/whatever. You know why? Because we're </i>experts<i>. The type of family member who is going to fight with you about your wedding is also the type of family member who will probably listen to an </i>expert<i> the most.</i><br /> <br /> <i>3.&nbsp;<b>You want to save money. </b>A lot of wedding planners out there advertise that they will save you as much or more money than they will charge you. I won't make that claim. While I do end up saving the vast majority of my clients money, it's just too hard to quantify. Sometimes I save my clients money in really concrete ways: they use vendors I have relationships with who give them discounts,* or they use supplies that I have on hand. But many of the ways I save my clients money are less concrete: I'm able to negotiate contracts down with full knowledge of the industry behind me, tell clients when a particular service they're looking at is overpriced and suggest an alternative, suggest cheaper ways for achieving the aesthetic they want, or tell them where they can cut things that really don't matter. All potential giant cost savings, all hard to quantify.</i><br /> <br /> <i>4.<b> You will (often) get better service from your other vendors.</b> As one of my clients put it, "I'm never going to have another wedding, so these people will never get repeat business from me, and thus have very little incentive to go above normal service standards for me. You, however, have the ability to send them a ton of business if you like them, so it's in their best interest to really impress you." And it's true. Vendors are much more likely to give my clients amazing service because they want to maintain a good relationship with me.</i><br /> <br /> <i>Now, you can get by without a Wedding Planner, but you actually </i>do<i> need a Wedding Coordinator. You don't necessarily have to hire a professional, but you do need to appoint someone to be in charge of the big picture.&nbsp;The majority of my clients tend to fall into two camps 1) really organized, borderline control-freaks who know that if they don't put someone competent in charge they will try to coordinate their own wedding 2) people who really just want to have a good time, don't super care about all of the little things, and want to hand off responsibility to someone competent so that they can party.</i><br /> <br /> <i>Someone should be in charge of setting up, checking in vendors, making sure things generally run on time, that everyone gets fed, that everyone is doing what they're supposed to be doing, that everyone who needs to be paid gets paid, and that things get cleaned up and all of your stuff gets out of the building at the end of the night.&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>And this is the thing: something goes wrong at </i>every<i> wedding. It's almost always something that can be fixed -- you run out of wine/cups/soda halfway through the reception, somehow the cake forks/boutonnieres/coffee/napkins don't make it to the venue, the power dies/toilet paper runs out/it rains/the chairs are set up wrong/your bustle rips out/your keys get locked in the car before the ceremony. These things are all fixable, but someone has to deal with them. And ideally that someone is not someone who will be seriously bummed to miss the first dance/toasts/cake cutting.</i><br /> <br /> <i>To finish, a note: if you are hiring a Planner or Coordinator, make sure they are someone both of you like and trust. The relationship between wedding planner and client is surprisingly intimate -- weddings combine three of life's most stressful things together into one big ball of wonderfulness: family, money, and societal expectations. Inevitably some of your personal insecurities and family drama are going to come out. When they do, you're going to want someone around who you feel comfortable with, and who you know has your back.&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>And in the end, that is why I love my job -- yeah, I get to plan rad parties and be around lots of pretty things. But really? I get to help super awesome people be a little more sane, a little more relaxed, and have a little more fun while they're making and celebrating a major life step. It's pretty great.</i><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-small;">(Photo by&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://harberphotography.com/">Gabriel Harber</a>)</span><br /> ______________________________<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-small;"><i>*I have a policy of not taking kickbacks from vendors that is actually written into my contract. If a vendor gives my clients a discount for coming to them through me, my clients get that discount. I don't pocket it or even a portion of it. Not all wedding planners do this, so I'd recommend you ask any potential planner what their policy about this is before you hire them.&nbsp;</i></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1'

ESB,</i><br /> <br /> <i>I must admit, I've been an avid reader of your blog, beginning in my planning stages of my wedding up until now -- almost a year and a half after the wedding went down. Not to mention, it's the only weddingish blog I still keep up with. You're awesome.</i><br /> <br /> <i>Now, I never thought I'd be writing you, especially because I'm done with all that wedding stuff... right?</i><br /> <br /> <i>Wrong. Here's the thing.... I am supposed to be a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. The date is set for the end of September. I just found out that I'm pregnant.... and get this: I'm due at the end of September.&nbsp;She even said to me a while back: "Just don't get pregnant right now and miss my wedding!" Oops. (This isn't an "intentional" baby, though, so I wasn't acting maliciously?)</i><br /> <br /> <i>I could:</i><br /> <br /> <i>a) Call her up and politely resign as bridesmaid, telling her I'll still be as actively involved as possible, (ie: I'll go to her bridal shower, but I won't go to all bridesmaid events, and maybe I'll fashion some DIY things for her because she's into that whole thing), but I will definitely miss the big day.</i><br /> <br /> <i>b) Still be a "bridesmaid," for the duration of her planning time, but just not be at the wedding. (This involves several 10 hour car rides, and potentially a few flights to be present at all important bridesmaid-required events plus all of the other things she would have me do).</i><br /> <br /> <i>c) Call her up and politely resign from all bridesmaid duties, explaining that planning to have a baby is enough in itself to drive a woman mad, and frankly, I only have a limited amount of sanity to go around.</i><br /> <br /> <i>d) Call her and ask her what she wants my role to be and leave myself in the problematic position of letting her make the final call, trusting that she would pick something that will both help her plan her wedding, and still allow me to stay sane.</i><br /> <br /> <i>Not to mention, I have a sneaking suspicion that she'll be greatly distressed about my baby news, and that kills me a little bit too because under any other circumstance I know that she'd be overjoyed about it. Not that she's a bridezilla or anything, but she definitely wants her day to be her day, and I don't blame her.</i><br /> <br /> <i>I love her, and I want to support her in her marriage to this super cool guy (who, I might add, my husband and I introduced her to), but I don't want to ruin our relationship because I can't actually be involved on the day of her wedding. I can be supportive ahead of time, right?</i><br /> <br /> <i>Any insight would be most appreciated.</i><br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Um, yeah. This is your best friend?? She's gonna be uber bummed that you're missing her wedding.<br /> <br /> You can't just RESIGN, lady. I don't care how fat/tired you are. And asking her "what she wants your role to be" is super passive-aggressive.

Some photos were great and other's are bad, they show how nervous we were, how tired we got and how difficult life was being at that time for our families.

People keep letting us know how happy they were, how much they enjoyed it, but this will stop...I am happy as long as they keep calling, keep trusting, keep sharing with us. In...fairyland...</i><br /> <br /> <i>Love,</i><br /> <i>The princess_fairy</i><br /> <br /> <i>P.S: do you have carnivals?..</i><br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Here's what I think about wedding "themes."<br /> <br /> If you're getting married in a raw loft space or an empty backyard, or, say, throwing your reception in a desolate catering hall, a theme and/or a motherf*cking color scheme will help you to pick out the chairs + tablecloths, narrow down what kind of centerpieces you want, etc. Nobody says you have to have centerpieces or flowers or bunting or any of that shit, but do you want to do the thing in an ugly blank space just to make a point? I don't think you do.<br /> <br /> You can take the color scheme to an extreme, and tell your bridesmaids exactly what shade of purple, cocktail-length dresses they are required to wear, at which point they will email me because they can't find anything under $200. THANKs.<br /> <br /> And you can -- obviously -- take the theme to a crazy extreme, maybe because you always wanted a fairyland themed birthday party and you never got one? Not sure about that.<br /> <br /> Anyhoo.<br /> <br /> Here in the US we have a penchant for taking things too far. Though I have never been to Spain, my dear princess_fairy, I suspect y'all are a little more....&nbsp;<i>restrained</i>&nbsp;over there. I hope you are.<br /> <br /> p.s. I guess an organic engagement means you're holding a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://aprylann.com/blog/2011/04/20/michelle-johnny-organic-engagement/">cabbage bouquet</a> and/or a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/a-playful-organic-engagement-session/">pitchfork</a> in the fucking engagement photos??

The Queen and Prince Phillip.&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>The Queen and Prince Phillip are all over the press at the moment because The Queen has been The Queen for 60 years and we all get to have a day off work and hang up bunting and drink gin until we throw up on our own shoes.</i><br /> <br /> <i>Because The Queen and Prince Phillip have reigned over this fair country for such a long time, they called me up* and asked me to take some pictures of them.** &nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>I was very surprised when they said they wanted to have their picture taken on a housing estate (that's a bit like a housing project in the US) but they bought a nice picnic so, you know.</i><br /> <br /> <i>The Queen loved me so much that we are now BFFs and she has promised that she'll make me next in line

rabble-rouser ever to write a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.eastsidebride.com/2012/01/this-is-not-vintage-wedding-photography.html">guest</a>&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.eastsidebride.com/2011/03/is-it-cool-to-haggle-with-wedding.html">post</a> for esb, is doing <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/sign_up/san-diego/">a workshop in San Diego on&nbsp;June 28-29</a>.<br /> <br /> I'll let her tell you more:<br /> <br /> <i>Technical photography workshops are awesome, necessary, and extremely productive – but this is not one of them.&nbsp;Here are six reasons why <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/workshops/">my workshops</a>&nbsp;are different:</i><br /> <br /> <i>1) I’M NOT A ROCKSTAR</i><br /> <br /> <i>I am not a “rockstar photographer.” I’m just a person who is sometimes totally full of shit, but I also spend a lot of time working on myself as an artist and I really really care about my work. My focus is on the quality of work we put out there, and most importantly our personal relationship to that work &amp; what it can teach us. I am honest and revealing and have no intention of pretending to be someone I am not.&nbsp;I am not going to tell you how to skip the hard part &amp; become a successful photographer overnight&nbsp;–&nbsp;QUITE THE CONTRARY.</i><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mISWnPwinTA/T7qI6JEhbhI/AAAAAAAACws/gxjSdgFK9Z4/s1600/feather_love_workshop_3.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mISWnPwinTA/T7qI6JEhbhI/AAAAAAAACws/gxjSdgFK9Z4/s1600/feather_love_workshop_3.jpg"/></a></div> <div style="text-align:center;"> <span style="font-size:x-small;">(Photo of Feather Love in her studio by her husband Stuart)</span></div> <br /> <div style="text-align:left;"> <i>2) FOCUS ON THE ARTIST</i></div> <br /> <i>One of the main subjects I cover in the workshops, is how critical I believe it is to connect with our work &amp; put ourselves into our art. Often times, photographers will focus on finding more expensive equipment, or spending hours looking at the work of other photographers in their industry for inspiration. As artists, we need to put ourselves &amp; our experience into the work we are producing in order to create something that stands out &amp; resonates with us. A majority of people who attend my workshops are photographers, but because I focus on The Artist, I often have other creative business people in attendance too&nbsp;</i><i>–</i><i>&nbsp;like bloggers, calligraphers, magazine editors, writers etc.</i><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-soK2CXp_SDA/T7ptq6-FSEI/AAAAAAAACvs/PZIiOVEo_n8/s1600/feather_love_workshop_1.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;text-align:center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-soK2CXp_SDA/T7ptq6-FSEI/AAAAAAAACvs/PZIiOVEo_n8/s1600/feather_love_workshop_1.jpg"/></a></div> <div style="text-align:center;"> <span style="font-size:x-small;">(Some of Feather Love's images from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/blog/category/workshops/">past workshops</a>)</span></div> <br /> <i>3) BREAKING THE RULES</i><br /> <br /> <i><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/">My work</a> is certainly not for everyone. I focus more on what intuitively clicks inside me while I’m shooting than I do on perfection in composition, lighting etc. In fact, I often do what would be considered “technically wrong” in order to get the results I want. I have seen a million pretty photos, but it’s often the blurry, strangely-cropped, under/over-exposed images that stand out for me the most. Why? Because I can personally relate to them. Because they reveal something deeper, more beautiful, more honest, more human. Let’s just say that if I had to choose between Ansel Adams and Diane Arbus, I’m going with Arbus.</i><br /> <br /> <i>4) ROUNDING IT OUT</i><br /> <br /> <i>Besides my more <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/workshops/information-on-workshops/">philosophical lectures</a>, I also cover real-world examples from my experience, discuss experimentation, how to get the clients you want, self-branding and many other practical subjects. I leave ample time for Q &amp; A to structure each workshop around the attendees. I invite incredible guest lecturers to focus on subjects that are vital in running your own creative business. For example: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.annesage.com/">Anne Sage</a> on the important role of social media in self-branding (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/blog/recap-on-my-bay-area-workshop-with-photos/">Bay Area</a> + <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/sign_up/san-diego/">San Diego</a>&nbsp;Workshops), <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.chloeaftel.com/">Chloe Aftel</a> giving a hands-on Polaroid class that will blow your mind (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/blog/recap-on-my-bay-area-workshop-with-photos/">Bay Area</a> + <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/sign_up/san-diego/">San Diego</a> Workshops),&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.emmacasephotography.com/">Emma Case</a>&nbsp;on not compromising (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/blog/our-london-workshop-shoot/">London</a> Workshop) etc. These are artists &amp; creative people whom I admire and respect and have learned so much from.</i><br /> <div> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w7YtPUJSo2U/T7pxgUhf1wI/AAAAAAAACwM/q2gEtHqqR0k/s1600/feather_love_workshop_2.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w7YtPUJSo2U/T7pxgUhf1wI/AAAAAAAACwM/q2gEtHqqR0k/s1600/feather_love_workshop_2.jpg"/></a></div> <div style="text-align:center;"> <span style="font-size:x-small;">(Images from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.featherlove.com/blog/category/workshops/">previous workshops</a>: first and last image by Feather Love, all others by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.woodnotephotography.com/">Woodnote Photography</a>)</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"> <br /></div> <div> <i>5) THE AFTER PARTY</i><br /> <br /> <i>Yes, we spend a few good hours discussing all sorts of deep, intense and important topics&nbsp;–&nbsp;I pose vital questions that we need to ask ourselves… blah blah, BUT I also believe in not taking stuff too seriously. If we’re going to work hard, we’re going to relax and/or play hard too.

My fiance is in Australia, the wedding is in Portland, and I'm up here waiting for him. FH has three groomsmen: A brother coming from Australia, the Best Man from Canada, and my brother in California. We're going to have a bachelor/bachelorette party on the same night (different locations of course), two days before the wedding. It's the earliest day all our friends will be there, except the Best Man who can't arrive until the day of the wedding.&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>Well, my ladies have got my end of things all under control. I know it's a bit squished, having the bachelorette party, then the rehearsal dinner, then the wedding, but we are a laid back group, and I'm not worried. I'm also putting shots of vodka in my morning coffee to help build tolerance for that weekend.</i><br /> <br /> <i>However, I'm out of sorts as to what to do for my man... He shouldn't have to plan his own bachelor party, but I sure as hell don't want to plan it either, that's just weird. But his BM can't make it, and the other two grooms know nothing about the area. Should I tell FH to work it out himself when he gets here (five weeks before the wedding), or make a list of awesome places in town and hand it to the FBIL and wish him luck?</i><br /> <br /> <i>Your wisdom is much appreciated.</i><br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Stay the fuck out of it. The boys will figure it out.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-small;">Photo by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.herringandherring.com/">Herring &amp; Herring</a> for <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nordicman.net/">Nordic Man</a>&nbsp;via <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.designscene.net/2012/05/nordic-man-herring-herring.html">Design Scene</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6468279200135971946-2202412832704622930?l=www.eastsidebride.com' alt=''/></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=p0B6y4SGaL0:sfnkNoEUDlw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=p0B6y4SGaL0:sfnkNoEUDlw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=p0B6y4SGaL0:sfnkNoEUDlw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=p0B6y4SGaL0:sfnkNoEUDlw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=p0B6y4SGaL0:sfnkNoEUDlw:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=p0B6y4SGaL0:sfnkNoEUDlw:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~4/p0B6y4SGaL0" height="1" width="1"/> east side bride tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-2202412832704622930 Mon, 21 May 2012 06:00:00 +0000 http://www.eastsidebride.com/2012/05/do-i-have-to-plan-my-fiances-bachelor.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~3/da68kyhVg78/who-should-be-my-fing-moh.html <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0k8iRqgLO6E/T7ZyzXfEJII/AAAAAAAACvM/GIHQxAL9hT0/s1600/aus2.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0k8iRqgLO6E/T7ZyzXfEJII/AAAAAAAACvM/GIHQxAL9hT0/s1600/aus2.jpg"/></a></div> <br /> <i>Dear ESB,</i><br /> <br /> <i>Here's the deal.</i><br /> <br /> <i>We've been engaged for a couple of months &amp; officially haven't contacted who we want to be in our wedding party.</i><br /> <br /> <i>I HAVE NO IDEA WHO SHOULD BE MY F***ING MOH!</i><br /> <br /> <i>I've never really had "girlfriends" per se but have always been close to my 2 sisters &amp; 2 cousins.&nbsp;I have also gotten fairly close to my FH's brother's GF of many years &amp; my own brother's GF of many years.</i><br /> <br /> <i>Here's the breakdown of their situations:&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>My Sisters are both in college= broke/ really young</i><br /> <i>1st Cousin= starting grad school, so going to be= broke/super busy</i><br /> <i>2nd Cousin= starting new job w/ crazy hours + is single mom= broke/ busy mom</i><br /> <i>1st GF= finished law school &amp; is feeling the impending doom of her loans kicking in= soon to be broke</i><br /> <i>2nd GF= going to graduate from college this spring=broke</i><br /> <br /> <i>I know that whoever I would choose would totally do their best given their circumstances, bc they're all great gals...but as you can see they are all not in the best situation to be a MOH right now. I feel like I'd be throwing the 2 cousins &amp; 2 GFs a curve ball...I'm sure they wouldn't be surprised to be part of the party, but not MOH. My sisters wouldn't be offended if I didn't choose them bc they know they would most likely be in over their heads.&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>Do you have to have a MOH? Wouldn't it be super weird not having one especially since my FH is going to have one? I like the idea of a MOH if I was in Utopia, but the thought of having to burden someone w/ this makes me feel like crap/stresses me out. I mean, I think they'd be too nice to say, "Uhhhh....whaaaaat?....I have NO TIME...uhhh...oh God, I'm going to be sooo poor!"&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>I wouldn't mind not having a bridal party at all, but my FH said he totally wants to have his dudes in the wedding.&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>P.S. Now that I think about it, they might have that reaction just being in the bridal party in general...both require their time &amp; $$$ &nbsp;-____-</i><br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> You don't have to have a Maid of Honor. (You don't <i>have to</i> do anything.) And it would be silly to just pick the lady you think would be least inconvenienced.<br /> <br /> But: Stop worrying about all that time and money bullsh*t.&nbsp;Being a bridesmaid should be a privilege, not a burden.<br /> <br /> Tell your ladies all you ask is that they show up at the wedding and stand by your side.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:x-small;">Photo by Nicole Bentley for

However, I seem to have fixated on it am generally over-thinking and could use a blunt opinion.</i><br /> <br /> <i>We're having a very low-key outdoor grill-out wedding this June at my parents' Christmas tree farm. The set-up is a bit wonky: small gathering of close family/friends with snacks, lawn games, etc. in the early afternoon, wedding ceremony in the evening, and then opening it up to a larger community (I'm from a very small town so everyone just sorta shows up, there's no stopping it) for dancing, cake, merriment, etc.</i><br /> <br /> <i>My question is about my wardrobe. I have a beautiful, simple wedding dress I chose because I feel like me in it and it's comfortable. My original plan had been to just wear it all day because why not. It's great. But now I'm wondering if this is going to be somehow anti-climactic for people, most importantly my fiance, because there will be no "moment" at the actually ceremony when he'll/they'll see me in the dress for the first time... does this matter?&nbsp;</i><br /> <br /> <i>Should I wear a sundress (I do have a nice new one I could use) during the day and then have a costume change right before the ceremony? Do I just enjoy wearing my great wedding dress all day?</i><br /> <br /> *****<br /> <br /> Just wear it all day because why not. It's great.<br /> <br /> You can do the big reveal with a croquet mallet in your hand.<br /> <div> <br /></div> <span style="font-size:x-small;">Photo: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://models.com/people/hugh-lippe">Hugh Lippe</a> via <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://models.com/">models.com</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6468279200135971946-3027084667984399623?l=www.eastsidebride.com' alt=''/></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=CJU336B7iF4:_2FtDJVKJ0U:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=CJU336B7iF4:_2FtDJVKJ0U:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=CJU336B7iF4:_2FtDJVKJ0U:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=CJU336B7iF4:_2FtDJVKJ0U:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=CJU336B7iF4:_2FtDJVKJ0U:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=CJU336B7iF4:_2FtDJVKJ0U:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~4/CJU336B7iF4" height="1" width="1"/> east side bride tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-3027084667984399623 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:49:00 +0000 http://www.eastsidebride.com/2012/05/costume-change.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~3/p0BOLnMx3Ao/is-this-appropriate-to-wear-to-casual.html <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pO31Ixmui6k/T62Ej3R2jZI/AAAAAAAACns/dir1FG6YMjU/s1600/torn-shopbop.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pO31Ixmui6k/T62Ej3R2jZI/AAAAAAAACns/dir1FG6YMjU/s1600/torn-shopbop.jpg"/></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"> <br /></div> <i>Is <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.shopbop.com/sammy-tribal-knit-dress-torn/vp/v=1/845524441939920.htm?folderID=2534374302031393&amp;fm=browse-brand-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=12867">this</a> appropriate to wear to a casual wedding this summer?

You can design all of your own address labels, seals, etc. You can buy the labels at any office store and just print your designs on your own computer. <div><br /></div><div>Resource: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://cardgirldiy.com/?tag=damask">CardGirl DIY</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7855500937695905034-8816465582870929115?l=pinkavenuebride.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=xSiRl5s5jj4:8tRq6_M0BRI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=xSiRl5s5jj4:8tRq6_M0BRI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=xSiRl5s5jj4:8tRq6_M0BRI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=xSiRl5s5jj4:8tRq6_M0BRI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=xSiRl5s5jj4:8tRq6_M0BRI:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=xSiRl5s5jj4:8tRq6_M0BRI:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~4/xSiRl5s5jj4" height="1" width="1"/> noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855500937695905034.post-8816465582870929115 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:20:00 +0000 http://pinkavenuebride.blogspot.com/2009/12/envelope-sealsaddress-labels-wedding.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~3/GsWnuViu3KM/glam-favor-box-labels-wedding.html <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xlddZAVuVEo/Sw2X_mCDOvI/AAAAAAAAAkk/jN-6u1fwmpA/s1600/mwa104158_fal08_candies_l.jpg" style="text-decoration:none;"><img style="display:block;margin:0px auto 10px;text-align:center;cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;width:225px;height:281px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xlddZAVuVEo/Sw2X_mCDOvI/AAAAAAAAAkk/jN-6u1fwmpA/s400/mwa104158_fal08_candies_l.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408145846338534130"/></a>Save some money on your favors by creating your own labels.

They are great for your reception, engagement party or even your rehearsal dinner. Just copy and paste the template onto your document and print on a heavy card stock. You can cut these out or get a circle cutter at a craft store. If you want to adhere them to the bottom of the glass just get a double sided adhesive tape runner and put a little adhesive on the edge of the tag. Another option is to punch a hole in the center of the tag and then cut straight out from the center to the edge. Then you can attach it to the stem of the glass. Just be sure you can get a hole punch big enough for the thickness of the stem. <div><br /></div><div>Enjoy!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7855500937695905034-2493798249478979835?l=pinkavenuebride.blogspot.com' alt=''/></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=eNww3Ef-efQ:w4pycd7c6VU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=eNww3Ef-efQ:w4pycd7c6VU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=eNww3Ef-efQ:w4pycd7c6VU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=eNww3Ef-efQ:w4pycd7c6VU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?a=eNww3Ef-efQ:w4pycd7c6VU:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas?i=eNww3Ef-efQ:w4pycd7c6VU:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~4/eNww3Ef-efQ" height="1" width="1"/> noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855500937695905034.post-2493798249478979835 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:01:00 +0000 http://pinkavenuebride.blogspot.com/2009/09/wedding-wednesday-free-wine-tag.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Wedding-Decorations-Bridal-Decor-Themes-Ideas/~3/7U9Bbay5OxY/wedding-wednesday-free-bridesmaidbride.html <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xlddZAVuVEo/Sp8b6nkzw-I/AAAAAAAAAhk/Ff0GvfNQg4E/s1600-h/178821.jpg"><img style="float:left;margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;width:193px;height:267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xlddZAVuVEo/Sp8b6nkzw-I/AAAAAAAAAhk/Ff0GvfNQg4E/s400/178821.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377047173973394402"/></a><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xlddZAVuVEo/Sp8b6HBaYkI/AAAAAAAAAhc/RDpEmY7R24o/s1600-h/178819.jpg"><img style="float:left;margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;width:289px;height:145px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xlddZAVuVEo/Sp8b6HBaYkI/AAAAAAAAAhc/RDpEmY7R24o/s400/178819.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377047165234995778"/></a><div>Happy Wedding Wednesday!

They can be used as bridesmaid gift tags, favor tags, welcome bag tags, etc. Just copy and paste the template, then print from your computer. Use a heavier weight paper or card stock. Then cut out the circle or get a circle punch at any craft store. You can then punch a hole at the top and thread ribbon through it. Or adhere it to a favor box. The possibilities are endless! I've included several monograms but if you don't see yours just feel free to email me at info@pinkavenuebride.com and I'll send you the file.

Make Your Own Wonderful Wedding Favors And Gifts For Pleasure, Profit, Joy and Happy Memories! Every blushing bride wants to have a memorable and romantic wedding that will be remembered for years with pleasant memories by all that attend. The purpose of &quot;Wonderful wedding favors and wedding gifts&quot; is to help accomplish this, even if you or the bride to be is on a tight budget. It is not expensive catering and thousand dollar dresses that create lasting memories. It&#39;s the beauty of the day, the sunshine smile of the bride and the feeling of being special for that one moment in time, no matter if you are a guest or the bride herself.
