My Wedding Report

Using tips from Anne Ruthmann on WeddingbeePRO, I decided to attempt my own engagement ring photos after being inspired by all the features I’ve seen on Weddingbee in the last few weeks.

Below are pictures taken of my ring hanging on a bamboo plant that we were given by family friends at an engagement party. Our friend said that the bamboo plant symbolized eternity…so I kind of think of it as our love fern. (Just kidding…I just had to add in the How to Lose a Guy reference)

Growing up I loved Beauty and the Beast. I saw it literally 8 times in the theater and basically had it memorized. This year Mark and I found letters to Santa from when I was little requesting everything from a Beauty and the Beast fork, knife and spoon to Belle’s real gold dress. We decided to start exchanging ornaments for Christmas and for the first ornament Mark gave me the Beauty and the Beast ornament. I decided to use it as a prop in my photo shoot.

Next you know I had to do some M&Ms for Mark and Michelle. The other 2 rings in the photos are also from Mark at different points in our relationship. The sapphire ring was a gift for our 1st anniversary and was his mom’s. He gave me the amethyst ring for Valentine’s day 2 years ago.

Last but not least I used my perfume bottle for a different angle. If you are looking for a new perfume scent I love Flowerbomb by Victor and Rolf.

If you haven’t done this already you should definitely give it a try. The pictures were super easy to do and I am pretty happy with how they came out. I haven’t done any editing or adjusting, so I may have to try that and see if I can get them to look even better.

I’m so flattered that I was mentioned on Style School blog by InStyle Weddings this week in their What’s Hot in Weddings on the Web post. They are also loving the bike details from the Romantic Ride post last week.

After seeing they linked to me I was able to browse their blog and found they have some great information. Look at this deal they found at the Marquis Los Cabos for an incredible honeymoon!

Or look at these cute necklaces from a post on how to find great jewelry at a reasonable price.

Anyways thanks so much to InStyle for featuring one of my blog posts. I love knowing that there are people out there enjoying what I find and write about.
