Race Through Houston To Win a $15,000 Diamond Ring

Last year’s Amazing Ring Race was such a massive hit, Thomas Markle Jewelers is doing it again. Will this be your chance to score BIG?

On April 7, Thomas Markle Jewelers presents the Amazing Ring Race 2—a one-day, real-world treasure hunt that will take to-be-weds through the streets of The Woodlands in pursuit of a spectacular ArtCarved diamond engagement ring worth $15,000. Gulp.

Registration is free, but limited. Increase your chances of being selected to take part in this incredibly awesome event—and, by extension, your chances of winning that gorgeous ring—by using the exclusive Weddings in Houston promo code WEDDINGS15, when you register online.

Good luck, brides and grooms—now get out there and RACE!

Outdoors-In Houstonian Hotel Wedding by Adam Nyholt

Let’s face it: Houston’s not always the most hospitable city for an al fresco wedding celebration. Which is why we love when a couple brings the best of the outdoors in. Morgan and Carson, who we first featured back in June, when they shared their lovely engagement session with us—also shot by the exceptional Adam Nyholt—transformed The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa ballroom into a lush garden, with the masterful floral work of Events in Bloom. We adore the palette of white, cream and green, the beautiful roses and voluptuous hydrangeas, the wrought iron accents and flickering candles. And that ceiling treatment? Incredible. In her Monique Lhuillier gown from Joan Pillow, Morgan looks like a magnificent flower herself. We’re so happy to feature this stunning wedding. And so happy for Morgan and Carson!

Strapless Dress Bridal Workout Video

We’re pumped for today’s post—the first in what we’ve got planned as a series of bridal workout videos from Houston’s awesome Bella Body Fitness! In case her reputation as one of the city’s top certified trainers hasn’t yet reached you, here’s the skinny on Bella Barak: She developed her signature Bella Body Fitness method through years of research, study and practice—not to mention a growing frustration with, as she calls it, “the typical male-focused gym scene in Houston.” Yeah, we heard THAT. Her training approach caters specifically to a woman’s body, and she has helped countless clients sculpt taut, feminine curves in her private women-only Houston fitness studio. To-be-weds seek her out for her incredible ability to whip bridal bodies into wedding shape. The best place to start? With arms, shoulders and upper back, of course, which Bella happens to target in today’s “Strapless Dress” workout video (additional photos and instructions on Bella’s blog, too). Give it a go, and when you’re ready for the full-on personal training treatment, give Bella a holla!
