Musical Steps

I had to share one of my favorite artists with you, Chantal Kreviazuk. This song makes me think first dance every time I hear it. Just thought I'd share one of my little pleasures. While following on my day of music, I found one more I must share. Ladies if you are like me and my girlfriends, after seeing P.S. I Love You, you too wanted to fly to Ireland to find yourself an Irishman. This song has been one of my favorites since then. (And no I have not found myself an Irishman yet, lol) If you are looking for this song, it is by The Pogues.

A Glamorous Step

I think you will agree with me that the headpieces designed by Lo Boheme are just stunning. This wife and husband team, Lauren and Josh Christensen, have captured a beauty of era's past. No one piece is like another, they are similar but not identical, giving every piece that one of a kind feel. Lo Boheme was started after Lauren made all nine hairpieces for the bridesmaids in her own wedding two years ago. Thank god for this do-it-yourself spirit, now everyone can have the beauty that is Lo Boheme. Custom pieces can be ordered and have a 4-6 week turnaround; while made to order pieces take about 2 weeks. These great designs can be found at www.loboheme.etsy.com.

D.I.Y. Step

The Today show featured this great idea on the 10 o'clock hour. I thought what a wonderful idea it would be as a photo wall at a wedding. A few black and white photos and you have some great, inexpensive, personal decor. Although not just wedding decor but for those tweens and teens that like change things up all the time, just switch the photos and you can have a whole new look. Hope you love this quick diy idea as much as I did.

Items needed:
-photographs (best if you cut down a 5x7 print)
-jewel cases
-cardboard or foam board
-scissors
-a ruler
-tape (double sided)
-Velcro tape

To assemble:
1. Remove the plastic inside of CD case and all paper inserts
2. Using the paper inserts as a template cut your cardboard/foam board to size, this will be used as photo backing
2. Trim your photos to size, should be 5 3/8 x 4 5/8
3. Attach the cardboard to the backside of photo using the double sided tape
4. Put the photo in the backside of the jewel case, facing outward, close jewel case
5. Affix piece of Velcro to the side of the case with no photo, affix other side of Velcro to the wall where you want to place photo
6. Attach to wall and presto artwork

1st Stepping Stone

Hi y'all, I am new to this blogging experience and for that matter starting my own business. I will try to keep this amusing for you, it's based on my life after all, and if you know me well you know what an amusement ride it has been thus far. I have just recently moved to Chicago; Lakeview to be exact. I am a little town girl, trying to grow some big city legs. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with weddings...I think it all started with Cinderella. I planned elaborate parties for my barbies and painfully made my grandpa sit through tea parties with me. I started working in a wedding salon, Zelda's, when I was in high school. I was in heaven and was lucky to have a wonderful boss who taught me all she knew about the bridal industry. At 19, I was her right hand, I had a ball helping brides plan that special day. From picking invitations, to wedding party attire, to helping select favors and just plain give advice. I was bit by the wedding bug, and its an itch that has not gone away. I have helped friends and family plan the special moments in their lives, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, wedding showers...I am there with all my ideas, I am there setting everything up, I am there making sure all details come together, and that my friends and family get the days they envisioned. I am so happy to be there to build these memories for them. I have always thought you should love what you do and when I was offered the opportunity to make my dream a reality I could not pass at the chance. So here I am...taking the first step in making my dreams come true!
