Wedding’s can be expensive, and one of the most expensive items on your budget list may be the photography. Why not save yourself a little bit of money, and give your wedding album your own personal touch!
I am currently using this program to put our wedding album together and I HIGHLY recommend it. It is from the company PICABOO. It is a down-loadable on-line software that allows you to create your own albums, scrapbooks, or stories from scratch. They’ll provide you with basic templates, cover options, etc. You will also be able to choose from hundreds of backgrounds and neat options to make it unique. If you’re a little weary about creating your own photobook, rest assured if I can do it, you can!
You have the option to preview some photobooks that others have worked on, as well as their suggested ideas on how to create your own.

Colin Cowie is an amazing event designer. You may have heard of him on Oprah, and seen one of his fabulous events featured on her show. He has always been by far, my favorite event designer, and continues to amaze me.
He has a few great books out on everything from event planning, to books on everyday entertaining and lifestyle.
I recently watched his “best of weddings” and “best of parties” clips that may also be viewed on his website. I was blown away by the beauty of each and every event, and how different and personal each of them were. One thing all of them have in common… great lighting. We all know that feeling when you walk into a wedding, cocktail party, home, or restaurant that has the perfect lighting. It sets to tone, and the mood for the event right from the start.

In my opinion, every household should have one of the Joy of Cooking cookbooks. It is a complete “how to” on cooking, starting with the basics. Any newlywed, new parent, or young adult just out of college owning their first home will tell you, baked chicken every night gets old! If your house is chosen for the holidays this year, and you’re anxious about roasting your first turkey, or creating that special side dish everyone loves, this book can help you every step of the way. Even the simplest things can be very scary for a first time cook. The Joy of Cooking helps you work at your own pace, and slowly build up your own family recipe traditions for you to pass onto your children someday!

Domino has published a fabulous book. It includes tips on everything from decorating a small space, to what kind of curtains you should choose for different window types. This would be a wonderful newlywed, or housewarming gift for anyone. You can order your copy from Amazon.
