Jeslyn's New Year's Eve wedding

Jeslyn just had her wedding at Texas Old Town on New Year's Eve, but had her bridal portraits done in November. Below are a few of her bridal portraits done by Fione Lorne Photography.

Recent Engagements

December is not only the month for Christmas and celebrating the new year, but also the month that many couples take the next step in their relationship to becoming engaged!

Several celebrity couples got engaged over the Christmas holidays and even a few of my friends as well. I'm sure New Years Eve will have the same result!

This is a very exciting time for many couples. You should be full of giggles and butterfly's in your stomach and anticipation for what's to come! Not only are you are in a stage of excitement, but your family and friends are celebrating with you as well. So what do you do first?

Well if you have found our blog you are one smart cookie, because wedding venues book from six months to two years in advance! Especially those "premium" dates like 11/11/11 or dates that are very important to a couple like a couple that booked their shared birthday as their wedding day.

But, before you book a venue you need to decide the number of people that will be invited as well as the look and feel you are going for. It is very important to figure this out before you put down a deposit on the venue, because you most likely wont get that money back, unless the venue knows they can resell that date.

The next most important things are finding your wedding dress, booking a photographer (because the really good ones will be booked up to a year in advance) and then the caterer and the DJ or band. After these major things are covered it's easier to find a place for rentals, a florist, invitations, and more.

It seems like a lot, but planning your wedding is tons of fun. You get to experiment and look things up just for the fun of it and giggle to your friends, family and fiance about all the silly, cheesy wedding things you find.

You are definitely excused to having to make everyone happy, but don't turn into a bridezilla either!

So, in the holiday spirit here is a link to a lot of great inspiration boards and the top wedding colors of 2011.
