My First Post: Hello and Welcome!

My name is Tara and I just graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelor's degree in Visualization. I focused in graphic design, so I am currently working as a freelance graphic designer as I hang out in College Station for another year. Why am I hanging out in College Station for another year? Well, I am engaged to a brilliant aerospace engineer who happens to have another year of school left and I just couldn't leave him behind. Our wedding is set for May 26th of next year and I am going to spend my time planning the wedding and developing my own business on the side.
Here's a pic of me and my boy:


My fiance and I are paying for the wedding ourselves, so being that I am recent graduate and my fiance is still a student, our funds are quite tight. Luckily we both have some cash stashed away from previously working, but I realized quickly we needed to figure out ways to cut down from the average $27,000 American Wedding! I decided it would be fun to share my inspiration, tips, tricks and anything else I learn about wedding planning for anyone out there trying to figure out how to save a few cents. 
I would love for you to get involved. Please, please, please comment and let me know what you think! Your feedback is very important to me and I would love to hear if you have anything to share. Feel free to send me an email if you would rather communicate in private. Feedback is much appreciated, even if it's critical-if there's anything I'm used to from being a designer, it's the critics!
I look forward to sharing with you and hearing what you think.
Thanks for stopping by!
Until Next time,

    I love that picture of you & Justin!

    A friend of a friend of a friend did something like this where they were wanting to cut costs and have something more intimate. The bride made a lot of the decor by hand with some flea market finds and went on a DIY frenzy. They made a blog about their first year of marriage and how they planned their wedding, excel budget sheets included. All their wedding stuff is under the "Wedding" tag and worth a look! http://www.ourmarriageproject.com/tag/wedding/

    I recommend reading from the bottom up

    I look forward to reading your posts!

      Thanks Lauren!
      Their wedding is adorable and so creative. I ended up reading the whole wedding portion! I'm hoping Justin's and mine turns out just as great!
