Ask me about the letterpress effect, and I’ll likely tell you it has something to do with an invisible force that makes people who receive beautifully rendered invitations much more willing to attend an event. But that’s mainly because I occasionally like to make stuff up. The Artisan Press in Sydney, Australia would answer differently. According to their web site, Letterpress literally adds another dimension to your wedding stationery. In the hands of a skilled operator, the amount of impression into the paper can be finely controlled. This is often used to create stunning layer effects... |

Vintage bridal gowns are the newest must have in the wedding dresses field. It seems that in the year that has just passed you weren’t considered trendy if you didn’t wear a wedding dress that had lace applications. In fact, this has been considered a must have in the latest years and it all started probably when Angeline Jolie wore a lace vintage wedding dress at her wedding. Let’s recall Grace Kelly and her wedding dress at her wedding with the Prince Rainier of Monaco. What was she looking like? Or, more exactly let’s recall of the most effective model to be taken into account when ... |

Photos Courtesy of AXEOne of the most creative male-targeted companies when it comes to advertising, products, and promotions? AXE, the line of male grooming products found at pretty much every major food and drug store on the planet. When AXE first hit store shelves, every male I knew ran to the stores to get their hands on one of their products (and have been using them ever since). Since then, men have been smelling better, looking hotter, and let's face it...it's greatly due to AXE. Therefore, when we received word that they were coming out with a new line called AXE Twist, ... |
Photo Courtesy of Chloe EliseOne of the most influential women in my life (and for so many others too), Lisa Barry Kerouac, recently passed away from her six-year courageous battle with breast cancer. She was 41. Lisa was the life of the party, had a million mega-watt smile, and could make you instantly feel at ease in any situation. I owe so much to her. For one, she's the reason I ended up at my college. She's also the reason I met the Third Coast Groom. The funny part? This is just one story of thousands. Lisa's impact was widespread and we celebrate her legacy today. God saw she was get... |

About 2 weeks after we got engaged, my mother and I sat down to write the guest list for our engagement party. We soon discovered that this task was a little more difficult than what we originally anticipated. Of course there were the definites, family and close friends, who we put on the list right away. Then, it got more difficult. My parents both work at the same place, a car dealership, and they have worked there for the last 30 years. This means that I essentially grew up roaming the halls and thus I know most of the people that work there, some of them have literally known me all my life... |
