Wedding Wise Wednesday – Giving Thanks for Black Friday

Sad news, Aislers – Instyle Weddings is no more. The last issue comes out December 25th, but will be on the stands until March. LOVE that magazine. Between that one and Martha Stewart Weddings, that was pretty much all I needed. They’re just dropping like flies, aren’t they?

But here’s a little piece of heaven for you – the L.A. Times just launched a new wedding announcement section called “Together”, and if you get your wedding announcement in by November 30th – that would be NEXT.MONDAY. – their “basic” announcement is free. That would be in the Los Angeles Frickin’ Times. You’re welcome!

And on to even happier news, because you are a lucky, lucky girl if you still haven’t gotten your wedding dress
