This blog is where I will share with you the very latest trends, tips, news, ideas and inspiration to make your Houston wedding the occasion of a lifetime.  A brilliant new floral genius in town?  I\u2019ll let you know about it.  Tangerine and turquoise the must-have palette of the season?  You\u2019ll hear about it here.  Leaning toward letterpress invitations but worried about budget?  I\u2019ll help you decide if they\u2019re worth the price.  I will also be drawing back the veil, as it were, on gorgeous Real Weddings in and around Houston, and directing you to where you can get one of those Swarovski-crystal-encrusted orchid chandeliers, or daisy-bedecked buttercream-frosted-cupcake towers, or alluring tulle birdcage veils (like the one pictured on our beautiful blue bride, above) of your very own.  From time to time, I\u2019ll be asking you for your feedback and opinions, and incorporating your thoughts into the Houston Weddings Blog, so get ready to speak up.  Of course, any time is a good time to share.  I invite you to comment on any post that piques your interest\u2014and if you have a discovery you think your sister brides-to-be might go gaga for, send me an e-mail.  I may be the one doing the blogging on behalf of Weddings in Houston, but this blog belongs to you, Houston brides.<\/p>\n<p>Read it, use it, share it, love it.
