Winter Rocky Mountain Bridal Show 2011

This weekend we

(Tessa and I) went to Denver

for some serious "wedding idea shopping".

We stopped at Lagrues on Broadway....even after 35 years it is still an amazing place to find beautiful silks, ribbons, tapastries, containers...you name it.

Then of course we hit Hobby Lobby and Micheals.

The real fun began Sunday morning when we stopped by the

Colorado Convention Center for the 2011 Rocky Mountain Bridal Show.

First time I had ever been to a bridal show, believe it or not. It is very much like a jewelry show, so many vendors, all with beautiful product and amazing ideas. We left with our bags full of goodies, and our heads swimming with 1000 new ideas.

I'll keep you posted on new devopments....

Welcome 2011 !!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

WELCOME 2011...

Looking forward to a busy New Year...Big Plans for the Dilyn Website and Blog.

Looking forward to new ideas, new styles and New Brides!!

Starting January 2011 with a trip to Denver for the Rocky Mountain Bridal Expo at the Convention Center....

Keep posted for fun new ideas for your 2011 weddings.....

On Newsstands Now: Brides January 2011

BRIDES/Conde Nast

After getting engaged, you'll probably run to the newsstand and pick up a stack of wedding magazines, and when you get to the checkout counter, you'll find out that they can be expensive. (That's why you should get a subscription -- it'll save you a lot of money!)

Just like deciding what movie to go see or restaurant to eat at, reading a review of a bridal magazine can help you decide which one to buy. Aisledash.com is now your go-to source for reviews of the latest wedding magazines hitting stands, whether they're local or national. Each review will feature the highlights of the new issue and what you'll find inside.

The January 2011 issue of Brides magazine (bridesmag.com) just hit stands and focuses on the "just engaged" bride. There are a number of stories on what to do at the early stages on planning, but if you've been planning for a few months or your wedding is just around the corner you're sure to find ideas and inspiration you can still put to good use. Cost of issue: $5.99.

I actually get more ideas from the long list of wedding blogs on the web, but I subscribe to 3 wedding magazines...Bride and Bloom, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style and tadaaaaa....the forever old standby, Brides. So many ideas out there...it's hard to get them in order, but here is a way to start.
