Friday, October 28, 2011 Must be a Sign
Posted by: Tj Cotter on Friday, October 28, 2011 Comments (0)
There Are Signs Everywhere!
I’m all about signs these days, both figurative and literal.
So I’ll be introducing some pretty cool ideas that I’ve seen
for using signs
in your wedding and reception décor
and for wedding momentos.
I’ll post a new one each day here until I get bored
and will then move on to something else--
like shoes...which are never—EVER boring! Lol
Hope you enjoy and find some inspiration along the way!
SIGN IDEA # 1
NUMBER ART
Use the dates of the most significant moments of your relationship as well art: day you met, day he proposed, day you married, etc.
This also makes a great Save-The-Date postacard idea!
Here's the link to the original website, which shows you how to create your own work of art, or how to order one if you don't have time:

Monday, September 19, 2011 The Bride's Handbag
Posted by: Tj Cotter on Monday, September 19, 2011 Comments (0)
The Bridal Handbag
You spend months looking for the perfect dress. Then comes shoes, and finally the veil.
But what about your handbag?
Oftentimes this little accessory gets overlooked. And yet, this little pouch is must-have, should you need a dab of lip gloss, a little powder for that shine, or your cell phone during the reception.
You could turn to a local bridal shop in search for one. But for today, I also want to showcase another option:
Etsy.com
Check out the following link for some of the cutest bridal bags out there. I know you'll be pleased!
