When Allure first started, the idea of branching out into other states seemed like such a far off goal. Well today, that goal came into affect, much sooner than I thought it ever would. If you attended the Chattanooga Bridal Show, you may have met one of my assistants, Toya. Toya has been in the event planning field for several years but has always done her work in Ohio and the surrounding states. She came down to help both Allure and Michelle McKibben Photography run the booths, and I can speak for both companies when I say that she was a HUGE help!

After long discussions, doing the numbers and everything else that goes into branching out, I can officially say that Allure now has a satellite office in Ohio with Toya Webb as the manager and head event coordinator. Toya is based out of Dayton but is able to service all of Ohio and the surrounding states.

Personalized Gifts
I love giving gifts, and giving a gift that is personalized is even better. I found these awesome paperweights from Claire Boyd and thought that I would share them with all of you brides who are frantically wondering what you could possibly get those who have just about everything. With these paperweights, you can insert a picture, a name or maybe even a "secret joke" that only you and your person you are giving the gift to will understand. Cute, cute, cute!

Happy Valentine's Day!
If you want to break the bank (and raise the bar for future Valentine's Day gifts) splurge on "The Perfect Evening" which includes a cozy chocolate brown bathrobe, jazz music from Chris Botti, a Cocoa Fleur candle AND the aforementioned Love Letter Collection of chocolates and already-written-for-you love letter. $175.
Final Word: For those who like chocolate and sweet nothings, this is a good bet.
What a creative idea from www.ouroneheart.com!

Krystal Photoshoot!
I don't know if you all know, but me and my co-host (I co-host a TV show for the CW every week) were in a Krystal commerical this past winter. The commercial was so much fun, but the photoshoot was what we loved the most! We had all kinds of Krystal props (notice the cornpups in my hand!) The company has said they will be posting the pictures so as soon as they do I will let you all know about it. Keep your eyes open for Misty and I to be on Krystal billboards, cups, etc.!!!

Valentines!
Here are just a few ideas for the most romantic day of the year!
The bedroom is not the only place that should be spiced up for V-day. Take advantage of this holiday and see it as an opportunity to be creative in the dining room as well. This cute picture above has two pink table runners crisscrossed over each other to add color to the table. For the floral centerpiece, fill a tray with glass votive holders, then place water and a single rose in each. Snip each rose so that the blooms rest on the top edge of the glass. For a special treat, pick out paper with vibrant colors that match the rest of your decor. Roll from one corner to the next, stick the paper in a tall champagne glass and add your favorite candy!
Cute, cute, cute! I have always done a heart-shaped cake, but will be going with these cute cupcakes this year! So simple: start out with strawberry cake mix and red or white cupcake liners. After the cupcakes are done baking, take a heart-shaped cookie, lay it on top of the cupcake and sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of the cupcake. Remove the cookie carefully and lay it aside. Take either brown, white or pink ribbon and tie it around the cupcake. So easy!
This is a great idea for sharing a Valentine's treat with others. Make a batch and take them to your favorite businesses that are in your area (your bank, post office, hair salon). What a great way to network and enjoy the holiday!
