Melanie is the Winner of 4 apricot azuri feather pashmina scarves!

She commented :

Ooh, four scarves! If I could have anything, it would be those! I have 8 girls to buy for (7 bridesmaids and 1 groomswoman!) …..and that is the EXACT color I need. It would REALLY come in handy for our recession-chic wedding to win a giveaway! Fingers crossed!!

Looks like Melanie is going to get these scarves to help out her Recession-Chic wedding she has been planning!  Hopefully she sends over some pictures of other details of the day so we can all be inspired!

Thanks to everyone who participated!!

Take a moment in the chaos of wedding planning to spend time with your fiance relaxing!  About 1 month before your wedding day, schedule a couple’s treatment together.  Whether it is a massage, a relaxing bath, or another for-couples-only service offered by the spa—treat yourselves!

Taking time away from family and friends during the planning process is so important.  Plan romantic dates and spend time  just focusing on each other, avoiding any talk about the wedding!

How did you and your fiance pamper yourselves before the wedding?

Most of you have probably seen this video, but if you haven’t, I require you to click on the video above and check it out! I LOVE this!! It throws all traditions and norms out the window and is truly out-of-the-box fantastic. This video needs no introduction or explanation…it simply leaves you with a picture of how much fun the couple is.

From most married couples you will hear their favorite part of marriage is being able to be with their best friend.  You get to laugh and be completely yourself around someone else who accepts you for you.  I think one of the great aspects of marriage is not only challenging each other daily, but keeping each other young! Having fun, laughing and just being goofy together will create a much more fulfilling marriage!  I love these photos of couples on their wedding day or engagement pictures just playing like little kids together.

Send me pictures of you and your groom having fun on your wedding day!
