Calling all Writers for Online Writing Work

Angel Springs is looking for a few good writers.

Did you get married here?

If you got married at Angel Springs Wedding Event Center, we would love for you to have the opportunity to submit your wedding story to our blog page. We want to showcase YOUR favorite moments and photos. Please submit your wedding story to us at Elaine{at}AngelSpringsEvents.com. Include photos and a link to your photographer’s website so we can give credit to those beautiful pictures of you and your honey!

Are you a blogger?

Do you have a blog? Are you looking to increase your online exposure with online writing work? We are looking for multiple high-quality blogs about weddings. At this point we are not offering payment to first-time bloggers, but bylines and bios will be posted with a link back to your blog. We request that you DO NOT post the blog you submit anywhere else for SEO purposes. We ask that you promote it on your blog/social media with a link back to us! Please submit your blog to us at Elaine{at}AngelSpringsEvents.com.

Are you looking for PAID writing work?

Once you’ve successfully submitted a blog to us, we would LOVE to regularly work with a team of dedicated bloggers for payment. Payment will vary depending on your experience. Those who submit social media sharing images will be especially considered.

Do you LOVE to be online? Are you a master of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest? Contact us for more information about our social media positions at Elaine{at}AngelSpringsEvents.com.

Some Past Blogs that show what we are looking for:

What WE ARE NOT Looking For in a Blog:

Anything that would undermine our vendor relationships. We work with florists, caterers, party rentals, DJs, photographers, bakers and much more. We don’t want to show favoritism in our blog that would cause our wedding community to feel slighted or overlooked.
TIPS: If you have a blog idea that showcases wedding dresses, instead of featuring ONE boutique you might feature a style of dress. Instead a DIY Floral Bouquet (which would undermine our floral vendors) think about doing a blog on what flowers represent or which flower is currently “trending”.

Five Books to Take on Your Honeymoon

5 Books You Should Take on the Honeymoon - AngelSpringsEvents.com

We all know what people do on the their honeymoon…READ!

Ok, not really. But after all, there might be some down time for reading, right?

Top recommendations for marriage building books

(Click book image to view on Amazon.com)

	California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep.Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything. Michael obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny: Her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does…the One who will never let her go. A powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea, Redeeming Love is a life-changing story of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love.
	Marriage should be based on love, right? But does it seem as though you and your spouse are speaking two different languages? New York Times bestselling author Dr. Gary Chapman guides couples in identifying, understanding, and speaking their spouse’s primary love language—quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, or physical touch. By learning the five love languages, you and your spouse will discover your unique love languages and learn practical steps in truly loving each other. Chapters are categorized by love language for easy reference, and each one ends with specific, simple steps to express a specific language to your spouse and guide your marriage in the right direction. A newly designed love languages assessment will help you understand and strengthen your relationship. You can build a lasting, loving marriage together.
	Discover the Single Greatest Secret to a Successful MarriagePsychological studies affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It’s the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. Today, you and your mate can start fresh with the ground-breaking guidance that Dr. Emerson Eggerichs provides in this book. His revolutionary message, featured on Focus on the Family, is for anyone: in marital crisis…wanting to stay happily married…who’s feeling lonely. It’s for engaged couples…victims of affairs…pastors and counselors seeking material that can save a marriage. Using Dr. Eggerich’s breakthrough techniques, couples nationwide are achieving a brand-new level of intimacy and learning how to: – stop the Crazy Cycle of conflict – initiate the Energizing Cycle of change – enjoy the Rewarded Cycle of new passionAnd if you’ll take this biblically based counsel to heart, your marriage could be next!
	A mother who cannot face her future. A daughter who cannot escape her past. Lady Elisabeth Kerr is a keeper of secrets. A Highlander by birth and a Lowlander by marriage, she honors the auld ways, even as doubts and fears stir deep within her.Her husband, Lord Donald, has secrets of his own, well hidden from the household, yet whispered among the town gossips. His mother, the dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold beneath her floor and guilt inside her heart. Though her two abiding passions are maintaining her place in society and coddling her grown sons, Marjory’s many regrets, buried in Greyfriars Churchyard, continue to plague her.One by one the Kerr family secrets begin to surface, even as bonny Prince Charlie and his rebel army ride into Edinburgh in September 1745, intent on capturing the crown. A timeless story of love and betrayal, loss and redemption, flickering against the vivid backdrop of eighteenth-century Scotland, Here Burns My Candle illumines the dark side of human nature, even as hope, the brightest of tapers, lights the way home.
	John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage by using rigorous scientific procedures to observe the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over many years. Here is the culmination of his life’s work: the seven principles that guide couples on the path toward a harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Packed with practical questionnaires and exercises, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential.

8 Unique Wedding Songs instead of “Here Comes the Bride”

Wedding Song Ideas that will make you say, "I haven't heard that in a while, but I totally LOVE that song!" - from Austin-area wedding venue - AngelSpringsEventsCenter.com

We’ve all heard “Here Comes the Bride” (otherwise known as “Bridal Chorus” by Wagner). It’s a great choice for a traditional wedding song, but if you want something more unique…maybe with a “I haven’t heard that song in a while but I totally LOVE that song” quality we have some ideas.

A non-traditional wedding song is a great choice to:

send a special message to each other as you walk down the aisle
portray your emotions to your guests
show your unique personalities
making your wedding that much more fun!
capturing a moment that defined your relationship
making a promise via the lyrics

Non-Traditional Wedding Song Choices:

Truly, Madly, Deeply – Savage Garden
Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You – Lauryn Hill
Marry Me – Train
You’re the One That I Want – The Lennings (cover song featured on “Parenthood”)
Unchained Melody – Righteous Brothers
Eternal Flame – The Bangles
I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing – Aerosmith
The Way I Am – Ingrid Michaelson

What are your wedding song ideas?

To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today. Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.

I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. Then the LORD’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth. If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow–to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fast to him–

Song of Solomon 8:4-8

Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth. Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for?

Do you want to match anything in particular (ie. bridesmaid’s nails, mom’s dress, your shoes)?

What color does your man like to see you in (I bet it is red nails!)

10 Must-Have Etsy Wedding Presents (even if you have to buy them yourself)

Here at Angel Springs Events Center, we’ve seen it all. We know the latest trends in bridal showers, wedding decorations and colors.

But what about those wedding presents?

You know the ones that are all wrapped in a pretty package at the reception.

Most things listed on a couple’s registry are for the new home they will be sharing but is there room on the registry for something totally unnecessary or just plain silly?

You bet there is!

We’ve decided to list a couple “just for fun” things that might not be on your registry that you absolutely MUST-HAVE.

Take it from a girl who scanned an XBOX at Target…and whose best friend bought it (thanks Lindsey)!

10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy

1) Wifey – Gray Slouchy Oversized Sweatshirt for Bride – $29

What man doesn’t like to see a little shoulder action…especially when it’s attached to a cute oversized gray sweatshirt that deems him the proud owner of the hot little number wearing it!

Ps…that’s you!

2) Custom Wedding Photo Coasters – $25

Custom Wedding Photo Coasters - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by SukisSuitcase on Etsy

Let’s face it…even if you do the all the work to make a wedding scrapbook (even a digital one) how often do you really see your favorite bridal, engagement or wedding portraits?

If you are like most hipsters, you get guests to hashtag their photos of the wedding and view them only once or twice. Afterward, maybe a scant few professional ones get displayed around the house.

But check out this amazing option for presenting those photos in an everyday useful way by getting custom wedding photo coasters!

Every time you have a gathering (or just don’t want your hubby’s beer to leave a ring on your new wood coffee table) you can be reminded of the blissful event. #goodtimes

3) Personalized Cutting Board – $44

Personalized Cutting Board - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by TaylorCraftsEngraved on Etsy

We love this take on the traditional monogrammed “Established” sign that usually hangs in the hallway. Throughout the years your decor may change…but you will always need a cutting board.

Instead of feeling guilty for not having anywhere to hang your sign that immortalizes your “special day,” forgo it by getting something memorable AND utilitarian!

4) Crochet Foot Jewelry $15

Bridal Footware - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by LadyAlinaShop on Etsy

So you may have heard the advice: get comfortable wedding shoes!

But what if you LOVE your 3-inch heels? You can have the best of both worlds by investing in these beautiful crochet wedding footware. After you take your photos and your done your due diligence in your “fancy” shoes – throw them in a corner and don these.

If you are doing a beach-themed wedding, skip a step and just get these.

5) Wedding Invitation Christmas Ornament -$40

Wedding Invitation Ornament - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by HappyThoughtsbyKelly on Etsy

What if once a year you were destined to have a friendly reminder of your big day?

These custom wedding invitation Christmas ornaments were the absolute cutest ones we found on Etsy.

6) Mr. & Mrs. Luggage Tags – $24

Mr. & Mrs. Luggage Tags - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by HappyThoughtsGifts on Etsy

I’ll admit, I’m not a big fan of “His/Her” stuff just because of what inevitably happens…aka the wife loves it and the husband begrudgingly wears the silly “I’m the Husband” shirt.

But these cute (and customized) Mr. and Mrs. Luggage tags are actually useful on that honeymoon vacation…and all subsequent vacations!

Everyone has a black suitcase…make yours stand out!

7) Thought Bubble Pillowcase – $33

Thought Bubble Pillowcase - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by OSusannahs on Etsy

Monogrammed Door Wreath - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by Southern Greeters on Etsy

Southern Greeters has it going on when it comes to custom metal monogrammed door wreaths. Metal withstands the elements (unlike fabric ones) and the occasional droppage (unlike wood ones).

These beauties could be displayed indoors as well.

9) Fingerprint Rings – $135

Fingerprint Rings - 10 Must-Have Wedding Presents from Etsy (even if you have to buy them yourself) - AngelSpringsEvents.com — by JimLittleJewelry on Etsy

We’ve all heard the horror stories of lost wedding rings in the ocean. Do yourself a favor and get these unique fingerprint rings as the “go-to” ring for those outings that you aren’t willing to wear your diamond on.

Besides…Who doesn’t want their main squeeze’s fingerprints all over them?
