Wedding Dress Alterations

My friend has her dress already and is not getting married until next November. She has been asking me when she should get her alterations done. This is a tough one. If you go to early, then you might lose weight closer to the wedding and your fit won't be right. If you go to late, there might be too many alterations needed and you might not get everything to the perfect fit. You should have 2-3 months from your first to last fitting. I started 3 months before my wedding and had 4 fittings for my wedding dress, so plan accordingly. Good luck!

Thanksgiving Weddings

Did you know that a large portion of engagements and weddings take place around the holidays. So are you joining the crowd?

A Thanksgiving weekend wedding has its ups and downs. First off, many of your friends and family will be in town(if you are getting married in your home areas) and it would be a great time for everyone to get together. Also, people won't have to take extra time off from work. The downside is this time of year is really hectic and expensive for your guests coming in town. Airfare, hotels, restaurants and wedding venues are more pricier as well.

If you have an Autumn wedding- pick colors like browns, oranges and reds. You can use colored leaves as decorations and I have even seen the leaves serve as place cards(hanging from a tree).

If you get married on Thanksgiving, then turkey it is.If it is any other day, I would stick with chicken/steak. Everyone gets sick of too much turkey!

Dessert- Pumpkin pie is a must.

Are you planning a Thanksgiving wedding or attending one this weekend? We would love to hear about it..Enjoy!

Celebrity Wedding

“So Random” star Tiffany Thornton (who was in "Sonny with a Chance" alongside Demi Lovato) married Christopher Carney in his hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas last Saturday night,11/12.

The wedding took place at Anthony Chapel at Garvan Gardens. Beautiful and I can only imagine the beautiful photo ops of the night.

Tiffany wore a strapless wedding gown by BCBGMaxazria and her bridesmaids wore purple dresses from the same fashion line. What a gorgeous color.

Demi Lovato was a bridesmaid and was the one to catch the bouquet at the end of the night. Does this mean Demi is next to walk down the alter- she is currently dating Wilmer Valderrama.

My Lip Stuff Review & Giveaway

The cold weather is here and if you are a lip balm junkie like me, you are always applying lip balm.

My Lip Stuff offers over 500 flavors of natural lip balm and has something for everyone. Whatever your flavor, you can find it. I was shocked at how many flavor they offered- from Booze Balms( think Blue Hawaiian, Cosmopolitans and Pina Colada Booze Balms), Initial Balms( Your Initial and the top selling flavor) to any dessert you can think of Balms( Cheesecake, Baked Alaska and even Brownie Lip Balm). Check out the full selection HERE.

I was sent three great flavors to try:
Gingersnaps & Jam
Irish Cream
Peach Cobbler

I love all three and am completely obsessed with the Peach Cobbler. It is like dessert time ALL THE TIME.

My Lip Stuff uses natural ingredients and never tests products or ingredients on animals. The balms have long lasting flavor and keep your lips very moist. My husband is even a new fan of lip balm. He is enjoying the Irish Cream Lip Balm.

My Lip Stuff products can be customized or personalized for YOU. You can order custom labels which would be perfect for wedding shower guest gifts. You can also order a custom label with your wedding date and put them in your welcome baskets for out of town guests. Who wouldn't love Wedding Cake Lip Balm =)
