dye in the tub????
GREEN CRINOLINE FOR BRIDE & FLOWER GIRL
HELP ME!!!! HOW SHOULD I DYE MY CRINOLINE PETTICOATS? SHOULD I TRY USING THE TUB?
PhotobucketPhotobucket

The issue it that my washer locks during the whole wash plus it's a smaller version. SO CAN I DYE THEM BOTH IN THE BATH TUB? DO I DYE IT IN HOT WATER...... AND FOR HOW LONG?

I had purchased a crinoline skirt for me and my flower girl and looking to dye them a "CHARTREUSE" color according to the Rit Dye site.

rsvp post cards

RSVP POSTCARDS
DIY PROJECT DONE
PhotobucketPhotobucket

For some reason I didnt know until last month (from my mom) that postage is cheapier for postcards. I had already printed out some of my rsvp cards (CRAP). So I finally motivated myself to find the promotion code for vistaprint like others suggested. It took forever to scale the damask image just right without it being too blurry so it took some time. I happen to run across a damask save the date example which inspired my design. Can't wait to get them in the mail!!

I am thinking about ordering my flowers from this site (PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE):

UPDATE 5/12/08; talked with my mom and asked if she had sams club membership still, she said no, but will get another one. I will have to look further into sams club. she still wants someone to put them together for us who is really cheap eventhough i insisted i could do it.

Ask a Question
HELP!!! What is your favorite kind of pasta? Yes this is wedding related!
PhotobucketPhotobucket

My mom and I were considering catering.... Then I came across this awesome idea of having a pasta bar! I love italian/medit food. So I thought it would be a wonderful idea to have cold and warm pastas, perhaps some kind of garlic chicken, greek salad, breaksticks, with a table full of different cheeses and olives.

So I am wondering what are your favorite pasta dishes?? Do you have any other suggestion for italian like food?

Your input would be very beneficial
to the stomachs of my guests!!!

babies
Ask a Question
After your wedding, when are you planning to start the baby making process? Just Wondering???
PhotobucketPhotobucket

David & I agreed that we will be starting the baby making process right away. I am 30 and he will be 29 in a week or so. I am almost done with my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. Because of high costs of child care, I will probably be working from home and perhaps counseling online after I get certified.

So, I was wondering if people are marrying older (like me) and/or will you be starting the baby making process ASAP ? Or are you planning to wait a while and experience the married life first? Or you just gonna go with the flow of things?

looks like another DIY project
PhotobucketPhotobucket

So I had to go to Wally World today to buy groceries and decided to roam the craft aisle and I found these fab rub-ons. I bought all they had, 5 packets of them for $3 dollars each.

So I was wondering..... what could I do with these rub-ons? I still need to make a card box, a guest book, and few other things. I was thinking of using them for the cake table, but still unsure what to do with them.

All ideas/suggestions will be fully appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY DRESS!
close up
details of the dress
The magazine where I found the dress. After seeing the dress at the bridal shop I went home and searched for the item number!
Wedding Dress
Liz Taylor inspired sweetheart portrait neck dress....I can't wait, it should arrive in June sometime!

PC Mary's Inc.

I am patiently waiting for my dress to come! ( COMES IN BEGINNING OF JULY SOMETIME) I saw the dress in a few magazines. I wasn't even looking for the dress and happened to find it while trying other dresses on while I was visiting in Michigan. Eventhough it was like 3 sizes too small, I fell in love with it! They wanted over $900 for it. Went home and researched and bought it online from house of brides for a total of $560! It is super light compared to the other dresses I tried on. My mom said it made me look skinner. (that is something every bride likes to hear). Plus, it makes my boobs look good and I am sure the fiance will appreciate it! The back is a little foo foo for me, but I love it! The beading and the top of the dress looks soooooooo good! The dress looks even better in person.

Style S075712 is in Organza. This gown features a Liz Taylor inspired sweetheart portrait neck, shirred bodice organza gown, crystal beading/sequins, bubble pick­ups on cathedral train, shawl/handbag.

Finally made a decision! I think it will look good on all my bridesmaids no matter the boobies and/or curves! Plus, now ordering the dresses, I cant change my mind about having a black and white wedding. LOL
UPDATE: 5/8/08 MOM GOT THE DRESSES TODAY. THEY CAME WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. MY SISTER IN LAW LOVES THEM AND SAID THEY ARE REALLY COMFORTABLE. MIGHT HAVE TO EXCHANGE A FEW SIZES.

Ask a Question
Suggestions for the Flower Girl Dress
PhotobucketPhotobucket

I am thinking adding some details to it.....

Does anybody have suggestions? Only bought the dress for 10 bucks!

ALWAYS CHECK CRAIGSLIST FOR DEALS!! A lady from the Orlando, FL will sometimes have sales out of her garage. NEW FLOWER GIRLS DRESSES FOR ONLY $10! She had MANY different sizes and styles to choose from. I was so surprise to get such a deal!

I was thinking about a brooch or adding some beading on the top....
What do you think I should do... or just leave it like it is?
Not sure what to do for her hair either.

UPDATE: 5/1/08- bought a black double sating sash to see if it would look cute with the flower girl dress.

5/2/08: Mom reported to me she doesn't care for the black on the dress.

Ok, so these coasters match my wedding decor................ but do I really have to waste money these. Will people like them? Will they use them? Or will they be in their next garage sale?

Should I just make chocolates or cookies?Wedding is in August. Theme is black, white and lime green. I was thinking of buying fleur chocolate molds instead.
FLEUR MOLDSAnyway, I might have a chocolate fountain too, so I might scratch out making more chocolate....lol
AM TAKING ANY SUGGESTIONS!cool ideas that are not too expensive!
I made some nice favor tags, its just what should I put them on? LOL
