There’s no better way to ring in the New Year than with the clink of champagne glasses and good friends. We hope you enjoyed your celebrations, and we’re excited to share all that 2012 has to bring on Ever Lovely!

We’re only three days away from Christmas and we’ve got tons to do! So the Ever Lovely elves are officially taking a short vacation from blogging in celebration of the most festive of occasions. We’ll be back next week (and ok – maybe we’ll post a little something on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). Cheers!

Recently, we introduced Mary, one of our new editorial team members. You’ll meet (and see!) her soon, but in the meantime, enjoy her picks for dressing for the perfect proposal…that is, if you think one is coming!
If you have even the slightest inkling that you might be receiving a proposal, then you need to make sure you’ll be ready for your close-up! Has your special someone mentioned trip to the coast where you first met, or perhaps dinner to that beautiful, intimate restaurant that you have always been wanting to try? Then this just might be the time to splurge on that fabulous outfit…
Consider the location (if you think you know it!) and let that be your guide to selecting the clothing that you need to wear and possibly pack to have the perfect picture to mark this wonderful occasion.
Is it a romantic restaurant, a casual outing in the park, or perhaps the beach? All of these offer you the chance to show off your great taste in clothing.

Don’t forget to get a manicure and keep your accessories simple and to a minimum so you can show off your new bling! Above all, remember that it is most important to look like yourself – your best self - and you can’t go wrong.

If you find yourself entering the new year with wedding plans on the horizon and have either just become engaged and/or are in the early stages of the planning process, this special event may be just what you need. You’ll have no shortage of wedding events and bridal shows to attend, but this opportunity offers something completely different. I hope you’ll join me on January 21 at one of the Triad area’s most exquisite venues! Be sure to make your reservation as quickly as possible.

Happy Monday lovelies! As we head into this holiday week, we’re starting with some great advice on proposal planning from Claire. Enjoy!
The holidays are often a wonderful time for a proposal. For those of you ready to
pop the big question, and in need of some inspiration or ideas to get you
started on planning the special moment, we’ve got some tips for you.
The proposal should be one that both reflects/defines your relationship and the
future you will share together, as a married couple. It is important to keep in mind, that your fiancé will be sharing this moment with all your friends, family, and even children, and that every detail should be thoughtful and special.
For those of you who feel like you need some extra help –consider consulting a professional proposal planner (yes they exist) or a wedding planner!
Some important things to consider:
The list of questions is seamingly endless! Here are some good resources to get you started:
