Public proposals: Yay or nay

post from Engagement 101 Magazine on 20 November 2009 11:38:57 AM. © Engagement 101 Magazine

Yesterday, the web was buzzing about a proposal that took place over Tumblr. I didn’t get a chance to blog about it yesterday, but I did post about it on Facebook. Basically a guy hijacked everyone’s Tumblr dashboard to propose to his girlfriend. Most of the response has been positive, with folks gushing over the [...]

Yesterday I took an epic road trip (by myself!) from Knoxville to Chicago. I went to college in Chicago, but what brings me here is my best girlfriend. We met at nursery school when we were four years old! She tells me that her first memory of me was when I taught her how to [...]

Designer Wedding Dresses Custom Made for YOU

post from Brenda's Wedding Blog on 20 November 2009 09:45:00 AM. © Brenda's Wedding Blog

sponsored post from Custom Couture Bridal

Custom Couture Bridal is known for "making your dream gown a dream come true". I am totally in love with these gowns and the idea of selecting a wedding dress from a collection, yet still being able to make modifications so the dress fits your style. When a bride chooses from the Design Wedding Dresses Collection {an existing design}, they can select fabric, color, accent color in some cases, the type of straps, the type of hemline (bubble or regular), the length of the train, whether there is beading or not, and some other options depending on the design. Other customizations are also possible - for example, if a bride wants to change a sweetheart neckline to straight, it's no problem. All gowns are made-to-measure, and as a result Custom Couture Bridal saves brides a significant amount of money on alterations that are unavoidable in regular stores. Probably the best thing about their service is the excellent return policy {a money-back guarantee on all gowns}, check it out here.

Popular styles include the Simple Wedding Dresses and the Lace Wedding Dresses. The majority of the gowns in the Designer Wedding Dresses collection are right around $1,000, which is super affordable for a custom wedding dress.

Custom Couture Bridal also offers the Create Your Own Wedding Dress service where a bride can get a completely novel custom design. This is of course more time-consuming and a little pricier, but definitely worth it for someone who wants something very specific.

To see more wedding dresses from Custom Couture Bridal, please click here.

PS: Custom Couture Bridal is having a terrific sale going on until November 23rd. Plus, there's free shipping as long as your order totals $99 USD or more.

Picture a Day - Day 353

Is there any chance someone can be addicted to smelling things? If so, sign me up for Olfactory Anonymous because I can't pass a candle section without having to check to see if what they claim on the label is actually what I smell in the wax.

I rely on Yankee for most of my candle needs but I've found one place that does Halloween scents perfectly. They're called Dark Candles and my all time favorite Halloween scent is Nosferatu. It is this packed with Arabian and Indian spices with a very different musky smell from what you find in average store candles.

It puts me in mind of the old silent movie era in Istanbul fleeing down dark corridors to avoid the demon with fangs (it's about as much contrast you could get from a Twilight inspired candle which I imaging smelling like body glitter and sexual frustration).

But Halloween is long gone so why am I mentioning this place now?

Because they have a really cool Winter sampler pack.
Starting from left to right is Spiked Egg Nog which is light but when burned you get a whiff of the brandy, Winter Solstice which is the first candle that uses spearmint I've smelled to give that bite to the winter air we're all too familiar with, Midnight Mass is a fascinating mix of Frankincense and Myrrh that reminds one of an ancient cathedral draped in gold and purple, and finally Naughty or Nice a chocolate and vanilla blend with some read cream undertones.

If you're looking for some candles for the Holidays that are outside the pine box allow me to recommend the Winter Solstice and Midnight Mass from Dark Candles which contain scents I've never smelled anywhere else.

Speaking of pimping things I also wanted to let everyone know I've gotten my shop all ready for the Holiday season.

Most of my paintings have had 15% taken off and are conveniently all stored in an "On Sale" category.

Which also includes one of my latest pendants, a blooming rose on a silver background.While I'm showing off pendants, even though this bad boy's already sold, I thought any Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fans would enjoy this one.
Now you'll always know where your towel is (I also plan to create a DNA pendant if any mutants happen to follow my blog and want to remind the world how we're all insects to them. Magneto, I'm looking at you.)

Finally, I just created this one yesterday and while it's bound for a "Thank you for buying so many of my paintings" order I am thinking about creating one with the same background but with just the star on it and another with a Menorah.
Whatcha all think?

Have you started your dreaded Holiday shopping yet? I've been so wrapped up in making things for other people to give or buy I haven't gotten anywhere yet.
