Most people think that white and ivory don’t go together and that it should be one or the other. Well, take a look at the inspiration board below and tell me if you still think that’s true.

I’m back from Dallas! This trip started out as a gift to my husband but I enjoyed myself just as much as he did. Our flight there started out a little bumpy…okay VERY bumpy due to the weather on the East coast. It later subsided but I thought I was on a ride at an amusement park for a minute. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency and our room was really nice. There were a lot of Cowboys fans in our hotel who came in just for the game. We meet people from Pennsylvania, Atlanta, New York and Oklahoma. The weather in Dallas was perfect on Saturday and Sunday…in the low 80’s. Sunday was the game! The Mr. and I put on our jerseys and headed out. He wore throw back jersey #33 for Tony Dorsett and I wore #24 for Marion Barber. Once at Texas Stadium we were snapping pictures left and right. I felt like a tourist and wasn’t ashamed of it…not to mention we weren’t the only ones doing it. After walking around the stadium as fans tailgated, we finally took our seats and patiently awaited the start of the game. Some of the players came out to warm up so I was able to get a photo of Terrell Owens before he suited up. When it was time for the team to take the field, the crowd went wild as the players were introduced…it could’ve been the pyrotechnic show too though (see photos below). Country singer Randy Travis sang the National Anthem. It was a close game and at times a nail bitter but we won 13 – 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Later that night we went to The Capital Grille in downtown Dallas to celebrate. Of course we stopped in the Official Dallas Cowboys Store while at the DFW airport to get gifts and souvenirs. I also purchased a DWeddings magazine from a local store just to get a peek into the world of weddings in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It was hard to return home after such an exciting trip. Below are some of our pictures. {note to clients: this is the most casually dressed you’ll ever see me} On the plane before leaving BWI: Our hotel room (taken with my camera phone): Us outside Texas Stadium: Inside the stadium: Our seats were on the 45 yard line: Us inside the stadium: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Introduction of players: First play of the game: Final score:
Today the Mr. and I are off to Dallas, Texas for a little fun. My gift to him for our anniversary earlier this month was a trip to a Dallas Cowboys football game. We are both huge Cowboys fans and have talked about making this trip for a few years. I wanted to do it this year because this is their last year playing in Texas Stadium. Imagine his surprise when he pulled out the tickets…which are on the 45 yard line by the way. So on Sunday we’ll be in the stadium…with our jerseys on…routing for our team. We are both really excited and hope they actually win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I’ll be sure to post pix of our trip when we return next week. I love the inspiration board below. Although I don’t particularly care for the color purple (love the movie though), for some reason these design elements work for me. What do you think? If you’re looking to “glam up” pair of plain shoes for your wedding then check out these shoe clips found on Wedding Tulle.

I’ve had the priviledge of working with a wonderful couple over the past year. They tied the knot Saturday afternoon at Village Baptist Church in Bowie in the presence of 100 of their family and friends. They hosted their reception at Old South Country Club. Guests were seated under a tent on the veranda which provided a nice view of the golf course. Their wedding color palette of sage green and burgundy was carried through every aspect of their wedding. Below are a few photos snapped by my assistant Tonya prior to guests arriving. I hope to post professional photos soon. Guest Tables: Centerpieces from Black Eyed Susan: Menu Cards created by the bride: Wedding cake from Cakes Plus: Congratulations Stephanie and Bobby! We wish you all the best and hope you have a great time in Mexico! As brides plan for their big day, I thought it would be nice to share experiences from other brides. So I asked some of my previous brides (now wives) to give me their perspective of their wedding day. Below are the responses from Stephanie who married Walter on May 25, 2008. Click here and here to see the original blog posts from their wedding.
Best part of the wedding day: Fondest memory of the wedding day: Unexpected things we loved: Aspects that were unnecessary: If we could change anything: Having a stronger bustle. Encourage your brides to have more than one loop for a bustle, because wedding dresses are HEAVY and will probably demolish one bustle hoop. I didn’t really mind, since it gave me a break to absorb things but I did have to miss Thriller. Anything we wish we had spent more time or money on: Anything we wish we had spent less time or money on: Unexpected surprises or issues: Number 1 tip for future brides: How did we feel after the wedding: Thanks Stephanie for participating.
