As a bride-to-be or newly-married lady, you’ve probably thought about getting some of your photos printed especially in canvas form! This is all the rage with brides and newlyweds, and there are so many places to choose from along with countless options of sizes, number of
One thing I plan to do this summer is to resell my wedding decor that I bought but can’t find a way to repurpose. During wedding planning, I was careful to select pieces that I could reuse as home decor like the wooden lantern we used for

I must confess…I sometimes feel I am a disappointment to all that is budget-savvy. Though I’ve been praised by my mother for my budget-savvyness, it’s a tough world out there. When I came up with my budget, I’ll admit to you: I had NO CLUE what
