Dresses....

Just a few dresses I really love. I've heard a lot about having a dress custom made, but I am unaware of anyone here who does that or if it's even a good idea...

Emerald and Aqua

Recently, a color palette in Martha Stewart's January Wedding issue inspired me - emerald and aqua. The bold contrasting colors caught my eye and became sort of an iconic image for our wedding. I love the idea of taking these colors and working within their spectrum. Adding a touch of pink or fuchsia makes it the perfect trio.

Wedding Looks

I just saw Tribeza's wedding looks for this Spring - LOVE!

Hair and make-up:
























I really like the contrasting colors in this look. Perhaps a different color combination, but this would be really fun....

Tribeza's wedding event is next month at the Stephen F. Austin. Hopefully it will be less crazy than the mammoth wedding expo I attended with Jenny and Charlotte earlier this month....

NYE

Lon and I had a blast on New Year's. We started the night off with dinner at Sushi Sake with his parents, sister Kate and her boyfriend Ryan. The food was delish! We scooted from there to a party way out near Lake Travis at my co-worker Claudette's fabulous house - the view from their back porch was fantastic! We could see the UT Tower and lights from downtown. Upon driving home, Lon and I both commented that we'd like that set up one day...

Finally we ended up at the main event of the night, a sock-hop at Scoot Inn. Most of our friends planned to meet us there so it was to be a blast - and was! Unfortunately, the music was different than usual and pretty tough to dance too but I made the best of it ;) When the clock struck midnight no countdown was announced, so we did two ourselves! All in all it was great to see all of our friends at one place and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Here are some pictures of our silly night (which ended with a trip to yummy Kirby Lane).
