New, permanent layout

OK! So I finally finished the new layout, and I think it has turned out pretty well. I basically took a bunch of my favorite wedding decorator pictures and put them in the header, polaroid-style and adopted a 3-column Minima layout. I have also put in some cool stuff I've found -- Flickr wedding pictures and feeds from sites with good wedding-related information.

Enough with the technicalities!

I figure, since I don't think I'll be draping or decorating any weddings or parties anytime soon, that what I will do is share tidbits from past weddings and parties, along with some tips and tricks, plus highlight articles and pictures that I find across the web. If there's anything else you want me to include, let me know.

Oh, and yeah -- I'll probably include my own wedding here really soon. ^_^

Temporary Template

Unfortunately, I was messing around with my template and lost the Colibri one I widgetized for blogger. Whoops.

This is a temporary template as I'm working on another one. :)

Changes afoot

I am not entirely sure who keeps up with this here blog, but I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't posted here since July. Now, a several-month interval between posts is not entirely out of character, but my recent blackout has been a prelude to big changes.

My mom has finally succumbed to a very deserved retirement (rather, she's taking less work on), so with my mom doing less work -- so am I. And so my material for posting will now dwindle dramatically.

However! I would still like to continue this blog, considering all the experience and wisdom I've culled in my days of decorating. So my question is -- what would YOU like to see here? What would YOU like me to talk about?

A few of my thoughts as to what I can continue to produce for this blog include:

• Tips -- how to choose your venue, how to choose your florist, how to choose your deejay
• Pictures of weddings I decorated before I began this here blog
• My take on friends' weddings
• How to be the friend with the awesome pictures at your friends wedding
• My take on wedding-related news and trends

That's all I've got for now. I've also got a redesign in mind, but I'll just show that off when I get it ready. Anyway, if you're a fan of this blog and you want me to continue it, please comment and give me your opinion on these issues. Thanks!
