So sorry for my tardiness today...I have been on a fun work trip and didn't have a spare minute to put up today's post, which is actually super useful and fun. Sonya, editor of Daily Candy Dallas, is telling us all about her reception details for her upcoming wedding...so here she is!

Once my fiancé and I had some basic ideas in place about the wedding ceremony, we set to work on the reception. Naturally, I wanted something wicked small. And, naturally, my beloved wanted to invite...

Here are some really great companies that have short term programs and that are PERFECT for whipping you into shape in no time flat...

Being an indie designer, I sometimes stumble upon people that are so incredibly creative, it just makes me swell with pride. I know that sounds strange, as it's not actually my own creativitey that is making me swell, but rather some other person's and often times, my own competition. But it's true. There have been times that I actually have a physical reaction to the great work that is being done by small designers (read...butterflies in the stomach, large goofy smile spread across my face...

Today's inspiration board is for my best friend, Katie. This could be the most difficult board that I have done thus far...and I say that not because we are so different (which we are), but simply because I know her so well. Katie and I met when we were 11 years old and cheerleaders in the seventh grade. I couldn't stand her. She was loud, and goofy and a bit odd. Now, 15 years later, she is the only girl that can make me spit coke out of my nose because I am laughing so hard. She is the only...

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I don't have an inspiration board today. To be honest, I just wasn't that inspired. When I actually started writing the piece, I felt like the ideas that I had just weren't coming together. I was almost forcing an inspiration board to happen, even though I really didn't feel like the pieces were fitting together. That's the bad news.

The good news, on the other hand, is that I have had one of my very rare "WOW-that's-so-true"...

Today's inspiration board is for Marisa, who is getting married in what sounds like a fabulous affair. The wedding is going to be held in her parent's backyard garden under two oak trees (um...jealous!) and the reception will follow at this incredible restaurant in her area. Although the ceremony will be sweet in tradition and elegance, Marisa really wants the reception to be a time of celebration...a down right party. With that said, she wants to make sure that the two environments translate...
