Dogs in Your Ceremony...

I have often thought that it would be so cool to have a dog in my wedding ceremony. Lately my fiance and I have been seriously scouting around our area for a little puppy to spend our lives with. Inspired by that (and my mid-day movie selection of Marley & Me) I have decided to show you how adorable pups can be in your wedding.

I am finding that this is a great way for my bridesmaids to check for dresses that they might like to wear at my wedding. Check it out!

My Inspiration: Fave blogs that got me started

For the past few months I have been absolutely OBSESSED with blogs! It started with my addiction to wedding blogs soon after my August engagement, my obsession began to trickle into a variety of different inspirational blogs, blogs for decorators, and other random blogs. I wanted to share with you all some of the most inspiring places I have found on the web. Enjoy!

Purpose.

After such a prolonged entry into the realm of high-tech writing, I, Lauren Michele, am creating my very first blog entry. Woohoo! My desired purpose for this initially cold space is to cover this page with things that inspire me. I hope to share my ideas and creativity to inspire those, like me, who are planning a wedding or special event in the near future.

Please consider my ideas and designs when you are planning your next special event. I would love to help you create a celebration that is truly unique.
