Emma and Nic’s kiwi celebration: heavy on the music, laughter, and photobooth

GloTaryn — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 20:30:14 +0000

photos by: Jason Aldous The Glö-Couple (tell us a fun fact about each of you): Emma, a music therapist who loves to hula hoop & Nic, a teacher who is in to medieval reenactment! Find Emma on her blog or on twitter! Celebration Date & Location: 01/07/2012 The Muscastle Upper Moutere, Tasman, Nelson, New Zealand Tell us how you got engaged: A very sensible conversation – at a wake! Nic and I talked about it and decided to get engaged. A month later, Nic rented a house in golden bay, NZ, and proposed. What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: It was so important for our guests to have fun. We have had a lot of recent tragedy in our families, and we wanted laughter to be a focus of the day. We also wanted to have a rustic themed wedding, with bits of DIY, and lots of interactive things to do, like a photobooth, chess, and music. We planned as much as we could, but the wedding took on a life of it’s own – and it was FANTASTIC! Did you add any fun twists on tradition: We had an engagement ring mini ceremony (a suggestion […]

Wait til you see this gorgeous and fun DIY wedding from Chaz and Liz. In addition to the below, you can read more details on Liz’s blog - there are some great titles like “Flowers, Cakes and Dresses, Oh MY!” and “Cutting Corners while Staying Square” where Liz details out how they thew this amazing celebration on a smart budget. How can you help but love that? There’s also a heart-felt post where Liz talks about More Important Things Than Centerpieces. The Glö-Couple: Liz, a journalist and Chaz, an editor Celebration Date & Location: October 2010 Robert Mills House Columbia, South Carolina, USA Tell us how you got engaged: I was working late, but my boyfriend was persistently texting me about when I would get home. When I finally got home, he told me he’d e-mailed me a new edition of his company newsletter. I always ask to read his work. I babbled on about my day as he nervously waited for me to open the e-mail. When I did, it was a special newsletter full of sweet stuff about us and photos. When I looked over at him, he had the ring. It was perfect for us because we […]

Something Blue

GloTaryn — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:22:57 +0000

Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. Even if you aren’t exactly a “traditional bride” following some wedding traditions can still be fun. Personally, I do not consider myself a blue garter sort of person and we were not into the whole garter-grab-flower-toss-spectacle. If you aren’t that sort of person either, here are a few ideas for you. First, let’s start with Glo’s very own, Taryn. Miss Taryn, opted for an intimate blue garment. She has a whimsical personality and to her there was only one perfect blue option, BLUE UNDERPANTS! Apparently, these bloomers were so blue they actually showed up through her gown! Ah-Maze-Ing… If you just couldn’t pull off the blue panties (some of us need shape enhancement via the wonderful Spanx option) maybe you would enjoy some equally charming alternatives that suit your unique personality. I chose to paint my fingernails and toe nails blue. Selecting the perfect shade was half the fun. For weeks I searched high and low for the best shade. Leading up to the big day I conducted a serious of tests before making the final decision. Finally, I went with the OPI Russian Navy Matte shade. It looked so […]

Rowan and Kevin’s Vermont Weekend

GloTaryn — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 07:00:02 +0000

I’m so super-pleased to introduce Rowan and Kevin. These two met in Alaska, were engaged in Ireland and will be married in Vermont later this year. With the support of the adorable Kinsey and Roxy, this couple is sure to throw an amazing celebration for their friends and family. The Glö-Couple: Rowan, an environmental lawyer and Kevin, a veterinarian Celebration Date & Location: September 2011 The Alerin Barn St. Johnsbury, VT Tell us how you got engaged: The official engagement happened while we were on vacation in Ireland, at a misty lake with sweet words and an amazing heirloom ring that was Kevin’s great grandmother’s. The actual engagement happened a couple months before when we were talking about moving, and Kevin wanted to move me again (I already followed him once cross-country). I was pretty hesitant about it and he asked if it would be better if we were married. I said yes, it would help and he wondered aloud if he should ask at that moment or wait until Ireland. I told him to wait but considered us engaged at that point (although I waited to tell everyone until the official “will you marry me” happened). What’s the […]

Alejandra and Horacio’s Mexican-Argentinian At-Home Celebration

GloTaryn — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 05:38:25 +0000

Over the past several weeks, I have had the joy to get to know Alejandra. Not only is Alejandra a rockin’ female engineer studying along with her fiance Horacio at my own alma mater MIT, but there is Mariachi music involved in their engagement story. Plus, their streamlined-elegant ‘vites and ‘site are a great example of how to tackle the challenge of dual-language guests! The Glö-Couple: Alejandra, a Mechanical Engineering PhD student & Horacio, an Economics PhD student Celebration Date & Location: March 2011 Alejandra’s home, Mexico City, Mexico Tell us how you got engaged: Horacio is (was, I should say) the worst with secrets. He tended to get over-excited with stuff, and managed to blow off many surprises over our first years dating. So he got a warning: if you ever propose, you’d better do it right. Then, the getting married talk started to get serious. So during our spring break vacation in Mexico (my home country), he suggested going together to a small silver-mining village called Taxco to get the rings (he’s Argentinean, and in Argentina both fiances wear an engagement ring). None of us had ever worn a ring before, so it made sense we got them […]

Elizabeth and Mike – Celebrating our family, our friends, and the love with wine

GloTaryn — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:30:31 +0000

Meet Elizabeth and Scott. They’re getting married in the beautiful state of Colorado (my new home!), so I am pretty thrilled about that. And Elizabeth spends lots of time looking through a lens at the wedding world, so I just know that there will be lots of lovely details included in their celebration. The Glö-Couple: Elizabeth, a wedding and portrait photographer & Scott, a commercial loan underwriter Celebration Date & Location: January 2011 Colorado Springs, CO USA La Foret Conference and Event Center Tell us how you got engaged: We were sitting on our back deck, enjoying the warm summer night and a good glass of bourbon, talking about whether or not we should get married, and Scott pulled out the ring and got down on both knees and asked me to be his wife. It is a simple story, but one of the many memories that will make moving to a new home harder in the future. What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: It really is a celebration of our friends and family, and thanking them for the support they have given us in our love. So, we really do just want to show […]

Invitation and Accent Designs from OneHeart Weddings

GloTaryn — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:46:58 +0000

So I’m always hunting around the web for different DIY design options. The other day, I happened across a fabulous resource from One Heart Weddings, which offers downloadable DIY designs. Their designs are super compatible to upload as Glövites, and you can print the designs at home if you need some extra paper invites for the older relatives. Plus, there are matching templates for Wedding Programs, Menus and Thank You cards. (as an added bonus, the first 2 downloads are free. yippee!) I also love that there is a “backgrounds and accents” category with icons and images that are perfect for making Glösite designs. To use a OneHeart Wedding invitation design as a Glövite, take the following steps: 1) Choose any OneHeart invitation design (I recommend using a portrait sized design) and clicked “personalize online” 2) Edit the text and click “download PDF” 3) To upload into Glö, you’ll need to crop the design and save it as a ,jpg, .gif or png format. You can either crop the PDF version and then save it as a JPG using a program like paint (PC), paintbrush (mac) or Adobe Photoshop. OR You can take a screenshot of the finished design […]

Finding your perfect Glösite background design

GloTaryn — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:51:30 +0000

You guys know that I go all smiles when I witness your creativity first-hand. This is why I’m always pushing the development team to give you new ways to customize your sites and vites. Last week, we rolled out a new feature that lets you upload and/or customize the background designs and colors on your Glösites. I’ve seen several amazing creations so far – so I know you’re already all over it! I started thinking…there must be a million and one sites that offer free background patterns. One search for “background pattern designs” totally confirmed my suspiscions. I found everything from libraries filled with thousands of designs to sites that actually let you build your own background. Here are a couple that I thought were worth sharing, but there are a slew more where this came from – so just get searching! Pattern Cooler lets you choose from a huge number of seamless-pattern designs. These are designs that create a repetitive pattern when tiled. I love the variety they have. They even offer each pattern in multiple colors and variations like this Damask one below. Another great site is BgPatterns. The best feature here is that you can choose an […]
