Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

Shoes are just as important as the wedding gown and veil. These days there are so many different options for brides, the most important thing is comfort. You will want to walk, dance and feel great all night long. There are many different options for wedding shoes including the hot trends of cowboy boots and ballet flats. Or if you are dying for a killer pair of tall heels, just make sure to bring a backup pair of shoes (might we suggest a wedge) to dance the night away.

“You’re not perfect, sport. I’ll save you the suspense. This girl you met, she isn’t perfect either. But the question is, whether or not you’re perfect for each other. That’s the whole deal, that’s what intimacy is all about. Now you can know everything in the world, sport, but the only way you’re findin’ out that one is by givin’ it a shot.”

THIS is how a man should look when he sees his wife in her wedding dress. Overjoyed with love and excitement. He should have tears in his eyes knowing she is going to be with him forever. How could you not look at your future wife and not cry at how beautiful she looks on her wedding day?

THIS IS SO SWEET I’M TEARING UP

Today we are seeing more and more men becoming involved in the wedding planning process, and we LOVE it! As more men are growing their to-do list for the big day, there is one List they don’t want to miss. The Groom’s List. The Groom’s List is a comprehensive online wedding resource that provides to the point guidance for men. Everything from the proposal to tips for a healthy marriage- this site has it all.

We just received our 2013 Oregon Groom Resource Guide and it is jam packed with checklists and discounts. Discounts from Leatherman, Game Truck and Koi Fusion are all available… just to name a few. Many wedding vendors (including us) have these books on hand. So make sure to pick one up for your soon-to-be hubby!

No.... Thank YOU

I came across this great Do and Don’t list from Glamour and had to pass it along. Since we are in the thick of engagement season right now, I figured it would be a good time to review these tips. If you are planning on getting a ring soon, this is a must read!

Do bring holiday cheer to your family gathering and announce that you’re engaged for the group (keeping in mind the caveat below).

Don’t make a big announcement if anyone in attendance may be sensitive to the issue of engagement, like an older sister who’s been dying to get engaged herself or a recently divorced cousin. (Tell people in private in that case.)

Don’t share your news online until you’ve told your family at the holiday gathering. And if you’ll see your best buds for New Year’s, why not wait ‘til you can tell them in person?

Do think about when (approximately) you’d like to get married. That question will definitely come up at family holiday gatherings.

Don’t feel bad if the Christmas or Hanukkah gift you got your boyfriend doesn’t match up with the engagement ring he bought you. He knows you wouldn’t have gotten him socks if you knew an engagement ring was coming!

Do get your guy a nice engagement gift once your budget’s recovered from holiday present-buying.

Don’t expect an additional holiday gift from your now-fiance. Engagement rings are expensive!

Don’t throw an engagement party before the New Year (if you want people to show). Your friends already have a billion holiday parties they’ve agreed to attend, and they’ll need more notice than a few days.

Don’t take it personally if your friends don’t text you back after you tell them your news on Christmas Eve or Christmas. This may be the one time of year they’re not glued to their phones–or they’d rather get in touch when they’re on their own turf instead of at Aunt Mary’s holiday dinner.

Do look your best for any potential proposal outing if you care about how those first engagement photos come out. And if you don’t get engaged, at least you’ll look hot!

Here are a couple of rustic DIY center piece ideas. These ideas are easy to make and VERY cost effective.

Rusted Wire Spheres:

Rebar Tie Wire ($3.87 for 400 ft.)

De-greaser Spray

Wire Cutters

Beach ball or Punch balls (or any large ball that will allow you to inflate and deflate)

Taking the wire begin wrapping around an inflated ball. Wrap the wire in various directions. Once the sphere is complete, deflate the ball inside and pull out of sphere. Make as many wire spheres as needed. Take all spheres outside and spray down with the de-greaser. Let the spheres site outside (in hopefully rain) for 2-3 days. Rust will begin to grow and create a very rustic centerpiece for any wedding or event.

Cement Votive Holders:

Bag of cement

Large waxed Paper Dixie Cups

Small Paper Dixie Cups

Begin by mixing the cement. Pour the cement into about 3/4 of the large cups. While the cement is still wet place the smaller cups place into the cement. Fill the smaller cups with water. Let everything sit for 48 hours. After the cement has dried, remove the smaller cup from inside and then tear away the larger cup. This will leave you with a very unique votive holder.
