OK so no the decorations won't be hanging up anytime soon -- I'll wait until the day after Thanksgiving....but I have completed my inspiration board for decorations this year. We will be going with a red and green classic theme. Now it is time to start crafting, I might even break out the sewing machine this year!
Welcome!
This little blog started on our wedding website, which kept family and friends up to date on the planning and details. Of course this is where we will provide all of the recaps of the wedding and everything after. We look forward to keeping family and friends up to date on our lives here in Texas and all of the adventures we share as newlyweds!

Dreaming of a White Christmas in November?
OK well maybe not a "white Christmas" but as of the start of November I have been trying to figure out what or rather how to decorate this Christmas (which will happen the day after Thanksgiving at the Blanco Home).
While I love our tree and how it is a collection of ornaments that we have received over the years my collection of Christmas decor is a bit of a mix and match group.
This year with the nice changes around the apartment in terms of decorating I have decided that I want to leave the tree as is but look to make a more uniformed decorating style.
So this week I have made it my goal to create some inspiration boards and layouts as to what I want to do around the apartment...then of course what craft projects I need to get started on!

Recap #9- Paparazzi!
Ok well maybe not to that extent, but the next thing up on our wonderful wedding day it was time for the Bride/Groom portraits. I of course had been stalking different photographer’s websites and searching through 100’s of different photos to get my inspirations.

As you can see from the first sets of pictures I have posted from getting ready and the first look Jenn completely went above and beyond my expectations! You can see from my boards a few of my photo ideas had been captured already--but what was yet to come for these bride/groom portraits were much more than I had ever expected!

These two are some of my favorite close ups, the way the wind was blowing around worked out just great when it came to getting some amazing photos!


After this we headed down towards a spiral staircase to grab some cute shots, again with the amazing background and just a side note the fish eye lens has become me new fave photography trend!

Next up it was time to head over to the smoke stakes on the ship to get some Disney themed bright shots, along the way Jenn just kept on snapping pictures along the way.

Here is where we got some fun shots with the smoke stacks, the best part is there was no one around when we were getting these which made for some perfect images.



Before the wedding I had no idea what Jenn would have in mind after seeing the “palate” that she had to work with on the ship, and it had been so long since I had been on board one of Disney’s ships that even I was having a hard time trying to think of great photo locations.
None the less, I had provided Jenn with these photo inspiration boards during our planning time all created at Style Me Pretty


I can not say enough about what a beautiful day we had while in port, it made for such amazing backdrops and vibrant colors!!






As if these are not gorgeous enough, check out what Jenn did in terms of effects on a couple of the pictures--I am generally not much for altering pictures or changing the color from anything but color/B&W/Sepia but I fell in love with these!










I loved out portraits of just us as you can see, and these are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what we have to choose from! I can't wait to see what they look like in print around our apartment!
Next up, photo time with the wedding party.
