Congratulations, You’re Engaged!

Congratulations to the brides-to-be on their engagements! The winter holidays are a wonderful time to get engaged. According to the Condé Nast Bridal Group, Christmas is the No. 1 day for marriage proposals, followed by Valentine’s Day and then New Year’s Day. How perfect! Friends and family are already gathered together. Add in the joy of an engagement, and you are set to celebrate with the people who matter the most.

Five Holiday Color and Decor Trends for 2012

What I find is holiday colors and decor tend to be similar to previous years but with a slight twist thanks to fashion, architecture and other major design fields as well as world events and pop culture.
