Nice Comment

I love getting these emails..

Michelle, one of my brides that is getting married on February 12th just wrote me an email saying "Thanks Jocelyn! Having everything in your hands under control makes everything else much easier!"

I am looking forward to their wedding next weekend. They have a whole weekend planned, reception on Friday, Wedding on Saturday and Brunch on Sunday!!

Wedding Hair

I am in the process of growing out my hair for my wedding.. which is in 255 days. :) Wow, that seems so far away but the next 8 months are going to fly by! Anyway, I am writing today about hair styles. I havent really decided how I want my hair style to be. I am not an 'up-do' kind of person. My hair is NEVER in a ponytail, it is always down. I feel that is how I look my best. But then I see some of these beautiful up do's and I am torn!

I do love curls.. and when my hair is long it is usually curly in some shape or form. This first hair style is my favorite. Or maybe the same style just have it to the side a little some that some hair can fall in front of me. My hair always needs to be in the front. I do have to hide the back of my neck though, I dont ususally talk about personal items on here, but I have tatoos on the back of my neck! 4 stars that represent mine and my siblings birthstones. (covering up tattoos will be another post I think. haha) So I feel like I need to have my hair down to cover them. or I can cover them up with make up. But my Mom is totally against being able to see tattoos in your wedding dress.

But below are some hair styles that I like, and that are very versitile. I most likely will do something close to the first picture.. and will most likely be getting extensions. there is no way my hair is going to grow 10 inches by October.

All the pictures are from The Knot, and they have a ton more! Make sure that you do a trial run with your Hair Dresser before your wedding, so that you know that you want and so that your hair dresser is fully prepared when they come the day of your wedding.

Also, for the brides with short hair... do not think that it isn't possible to get a cute hair style. Many things can be done with short hair, ask your hair dresser what she thinks. Afterall, they are the professional at it!

Wedding Expo at the Hynes January 2011

This past weekend I was at the Hynes Convention Center for the 12th Annual Bridal Expo put on by Jenks Productions. I met some amazing couples and had a great time. I got to try some delicious cake from The Bean Counter, hear some great music from World Premiere Band, and try out the photobooth that was provided by Shutterbooth.

I took some pictures of my booth and of the expo.

I love my DIY centerpeices. simple and easy and inexpensive. I ususally work with a florist and have them put together a few arrangements for me. But I really enjoy doing this stuff on my own.

Above is the Shutterbooth photobooth that I went in and took a few pictures. I LOVE the photo booth idea, and plan on having one at my own wedding.

World Premiere Band performed twice throughout the day- very entertaining!!

One booth at the expo was a man that makes different things out of balloons. I didnt catch his name, but I took a picture of his bride and groom balloon people.

Just a few thoughts...

Other than the fact that I am in love with David Tutera, I have a feeling that this season of My Fair Wedding is going to be ridiculous. This past Sunday's was outrageous, and now that he has become so popular a ton of people want to get involved in his weddings.

They just filmed at the La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs (which is part of the Hilton Family), and I only know that because my old boss now works there. Super excited- and jealous.

I found my dress!!!! I am debating whether or not to post it online because I do not know if my Fiance looks at my blog or not.. but maybe I will post it soon. Now I have to figure out bridesmaid dresses and I am not sure if I want to do long or short. And we are meeting with a photographer on Monday. Lots of planning going on, and I am looking forward to planning my own and 2011 at the hotel.

I love this time of year, with newly engaged couples after the holidays, they are interested in having a tour of the hotel and learning more about our packing, meeting new people and talking about weddings is my favorite thing in the world.

I always have time for wedding chat- so feel free to call or email me anytime!
