Sequins & Sparkle Update: I have decided to go with a colorful satin number for the NYE nuptials instead of a sequined number. Either way, I’m really looking forward to the blessed event. It has really been a treat to watch my friends couple up and get married. This will be our 4th wedding this year, and ours is up next in May. Yikes, I feel a serious 2011 resolution coming on…to get on the ball with the DIYs for our wedding!

Oh La La

Speaking of weddings, I’m glad that more people are embracing the winter weddings, especially ones held on New Year’s Eve. It makes NYE plans a lot easier for the guests. I am glad I don’t have to plan an outing to an overcrowded and loud bar where you pay an outrageous cover only to get 2 drinks. And good luck trying to find a cab home too!

No thanks. Having a wedding ceremony and reception to attend sounds like a much better deal to me. I get to ring in the New Year with some of my closest friends, celebrate the marriage of another and dance the night away. Oh, and have an open bar and catered dinner. My parents have even agreed to pick us up from the reception and take us home. Not too shabby.

I have no clue what the decor will be at the wedding tomorrow, but knowing Sara, I would guess there will be lots of shimmer and shine. Think crystals, sequins and diamonds. If I was gettin’ hitched on NYE, the inspiration board below is what I envision it looking like.
