You like me, you really like me!
So yesterday I got a very surprising email informing me that I received the most votes in One Wed's Best of the Blogs contest for the Best DIY Bridal Blog. My reaction was "MY blog...are you SURE?" I guess sometimes I still think that I'm just writing this for myself and maybe 3 or 4 others out there in blogland aside from those who stumble upon this blog in a google search or something. And while I'm still not sure it wasn't an accident or mistake, I am happy to celebrate that perhaps my blog has more than 3-4 readers. So thank you to those readers and to everyone who voted for me. I hope to continue to put out content that you love and find helpful. No pressure, right?
When I started this blog almost a year and a half ago I was just coming off my own wedding and had so many ideas and so much inspiration left over, and I wanted to share what I had learned during my wedding planning in a blog, if no other reason but to have an excuse to still dream weddings. Since then the blog has gained in leaps and bounds in readership, has gotten some fantastic wedding submissions, and has connected me to brides, bloggers, photographers, and readers all over the world. I have some changes in the works for Oh Lovely Day, and I'm even more excited about it now that I know I won't be the only one seeing it! So from the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you thank you!

The Engagement Story
Several months ago Kyle and I went ring shopping. I knew I wanted a vintage ring so we went to a couple of antique showplaces and the beautiful, Doyle & Doyle. I tried on several I liked, but fell in love with a very special ring. During this trip Kyle kept telling the vendors that we would be engaged by Christmas.Flash forward four months, still no ring. Not that I was getting antsy (well,
I'M ENGAGED!!
This Monday, I'm happy to be right where I am, as of Friday I am a bride-to-be!! It's been a crazy whirl wind weekend, as you can imagine, but we are so pumped to start gathering inspiration and planning the wedding!I'll be back tomorrow with all the details.

My New Dream Wedding Gown! (and 2 more I'm lusting over)
This weekend I made an unexpected stop at Kleinfeld's with my mom while we were in NYC for the day. If you are a fan of Say Yes to The Dress on TLC, you will know this is a high end (and SUPER expensive wedding dress store where the show is filmed). We purely went in to look around and see if we spotted any of the cast members and immediately saw Randy walking around, and he even said hi to us! Everyone there was super sweet and all of the dresses were very beautiful. I absolutely fell in love with this first dress (although I have to say the picture doesn't do it a lick of justice, so much more beautiful in person). I love the open/big flower lace look. I really like the other two pictured as well. All three are Pnina Tornai exclusives for Kleinfelds.

It's an honor just to be nominated...
Isn't that what they all say? But really, it is such an honor to be included in Bride Tide's Top 100 Wedding Blogs of 2011!
Thank you to Bride Tide and congrats to the other 99 blogs. I got 99 problems but those blogs ain't one... (sorry if you don't get that joke- you need to be a Jay-Z fan to understand!)

Happy New Year and Happy Blog Birthday to me
One year ago, on January 1, 2010, I wrote my first blog post on Oh Lovely Day. I've loved blogging and posting about weddings, DIY projects, and all things lovely in this last year. I started this blog for me just because I enjoy it so much, but I've even found that a few people follow and read my posts! I've struggled with it over the last couple of months, especially recently since having my little boy. I just don't have the time to keep up on my blog reading and have had a hard time getting inspired to write a post. However, I am not ready to hang up my blog hat yet. I hope to start posting at least a couple times a week in the new year. It might even be good for me. So if anyone out there has a wedding, engagement session, story, gift, decor idea, etc. that they would like to share or have featured, please email me some inspiration! I'm always happy to share a new idea, project, or product that I love with the 3 people who read this blog!
I wish everyone a safe and happy New Years and an inspiring 2011! xx
