Where can I get wedding verse's for my aisle runner?
Tomorrow, I plan on ordering a custom made aisle runner for the wedding. I need the runner be very long, so it will have enough space for at least 3 places to put wording. I am going to have one of our monograms om it, of course but, I have to pick a wedding verse to put in the middle of the runner. Where can I get a wedding verse from? I need several to choose from and they dont have to be very long. If you girls have some please send them to me or direct me to a website, where I can find them. |

I got 'em.....
....I got the blue cherries!
So today, I didnt do any Christmas Shopping, (yeah for me) I did run a few errands and I stopped by a liquor store to see if they had the blue cherries and guess what? They did! I bought that last two jars. The jars are kinda small but it looks like they hold between 20-30 cherries. It was $3.30 for each, and Of course I bought me some wine, just because....Moscato Allegro ....is the best! |

Ask a Question
What are you most Thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving! As we all sit down at the dinner table with family and friends, ready to eat all that turkey and desserts.....it's a wonder how we manage to eat it all. A question comes to mind as to what I am most Thankful for ? Today, I can say I am most thankful for my family. I am blessed to have a large family that deeply cares about me, I am thankful for my career, I am thankful for the part time jobs I was able to land (in the midst of layoffs and a bad economy). I am truly blessed and thankful for the beautiful daughter that I have, and finally I am thankful to have a loving fiance on my side, who truly loves me for me. |

Flowergirl Dress
....her dress came in today!
OMG! today, I got my daughter's dress. Oh it's so nice and beautiful. She tried it on but she wouldn't let me take pictures of her in it. It seems to be the right size but it may need to be taken in a bit because she is so skinny. She looks like a little bride. She wanted to hurry up and take the dress off so Mario wouldn't see her. She did ask me about having a pool blue sash, I told her we are just going to have to work on that but, we will have it for her in the end. |

Colored Nail Tips
just to match your wedding color.....
These are colored nail tips. There are so many colors now, that one of then will definantely match your wedding color. You know when you go to the nail shop and they ask if you want a french manicure and they normally give you plain white tips, then they drill and buff them to make them shine. These are colored nail tips so now you can get a french manicure in any color and not have to worry about the polish chipping off. I saw some of the colors at the nail shop I go to and I saw the turquoise one which look just like tiffany blue. Right now I am wearing purple pearl and people have told me it's a pretty color, but when I say it's the nail tips, they say huh? Then I have to explain that they have colored nail tips now and its a lot easier to maintain. The only polish you have to use with these is clear. I am already thinking about taking my niece to get her nails done like this for my wedding. Do you think I should get the turquoise nail tips also, or just stick with white pearl for the wedding day? |

Bridesmaids
this is the shoe I picked for my bm's
I finally made a decision on the shoes I want my bridesmaids to wear, I think it will accent the dress perfectly. The tiffany theme comes into play and it has a little bling on it. The heel isnt too high so my girls can get our there and dance if they want to. It's not expensive either and I told them to shop for it online b.c they may be able to find it cheaper. They may not have to because shoebuy.com is offering $20 off all shoes over $50 plus free shipping. Hey, I emailed it to my girls, lets see if they take advantage of it.![]() glitter-graphics.com |

African American Hair Styles
How should I wear my hair?
I found several hairstyles that could be good for me on my wedding day? Most of the time, I add extensions into my hair to make it fuller and longer than what it really is so, I'll be doing that also on my wedding day but, how should I wear my hair? I am not sure now, I was also thinking about wearing it up like the pic of Keysha Cole, she has a real pretty up do. I got to make sure I have a great hairstyle on the big day......... |

4 months to go!
wow, time is flying by......
As of Today, I have 4 months left until the wedding! yeah! I am saying yeah b.c i feel like I am ready to get this over with and just enjoy the married life with my husband. Now, I dont mean to sound negative but I am getting tired of dealing with everybody else's attitude about "MY" wedding, oh and it's my understanding that none of my bridesmaids have ordered their dresses yet, but, I am going to check with them this weekend to see if they did or not, apparently they think we have all the time in the world to do this, but we dont. |

Where can I get my bridal shoes dyed?
Besides going to david's bridal and alfred angelo, where else can I get bridal shoes dyed? You girls helped a lot by letting me know so many other places I cant get bridal shoes from, but now I need to know where can I get them dyed at. Just curious to know because I feel like this is the only way I will be able to get bridal shoes in the color I want. I also found a cute pair for my daughter and I want to have hers dyed to. I think it would be great to see her dressed like me with shoes to match, in the same color!![]() glitter-graphics.com |

Why do dyeable shoes costs so much?
Since, I am in search of a shoes that will match my wedding color for my big day, I am considering looking at dyeable wedding shoes. So since I looked for these today, I just want to know why dyeable shoes costs so much? I mean really, come on? Why would I pay so much for shoes that are pretty plain to begin with, then have to go pay for them to be dyed and be glad to spend my money like that. I'm just not feeling it, so it's back to square one. Since it's fall, a lot of stores don't have light colored shoes any more so I'll just have to keep looking online. |

Tiffany & Co bags
do they have to say tiffany & co.?
A nice lady emailed me about the tiffany bags that I posted. She wanted to know where I got them from and how she could order some. I told her she could check out ioffer.com, I actually did order a few bags from them because I wanted to see how they looked, and I was not pleased with ioffer.com, the bags were actually a sea-green color, not tiffany, they are not authentic and the color was just wrong. She gave me a site where I can buy bags wholesale, the color is a glossy teal but it looks perfect. |

Wedding Dress
I ordered my dress!
Ok, Ladies I have ordered my dress! Finally, I made the decision and got it done. I May be cutting it close but hopefully the dress will arrive in enough time before the wedding so I can have it altered and everything. I also ordered my daughter's dress. Her dress wont be exactly like mine but she will look like a mini bride. Her only concern has been wearing the pool blue sash around her dress, no problem. Everything is coming along.........so everything will eventually come together. Of course, the dress pictured is NOT my dress but I have to throw everyone off in some way... |

Personalized Playing Cards
Spades Anyone?
While I was on bridesclub.com today, I came across another unique wedding favor, personalized playing cards. I thought this would be a good gift to give and I created some for us by uploading our photo. I think it came out good if thats how it will print on the card. Is this a good wedding favor or not? Or do you think it would be too much? |

Colored bags of M&M's
....at Party City!
Today, I took my daughter to Party City b.c she said she just wanted to look at the Halloween costumes, she picked out the one she wanted and I am sure she wanted me to buy but, not today and then the store was busy..... When I went to the front of the store, I saw the colored bags of M&M's and they had almost all of the colors but I didnt see white. These are the same ones on thier website that you can have personalized. They had light blue and aqua and, the aqua one's would match my theme. I just wanted to let you brides know that they do have colored bags of M&M's at Party City for $5.00 per bag. This is probably the only place where you can buy them locally. I also just looked at their site and they have the bags for $6.99 and shipping was $10, good luck ladies....... |

Change of Venue!
So, my FH and I have decided to go ahead and change the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. I am happy about and I feel much better about this place than the old one. There was no communication with the other place, I was calling and leaving messages and no return phone calls, but, they would send me and email for a payment reminder. Calculating the total cost is what prompted us to look for somewhere else. We are going to save about $5k or more by switching to a more simpler place. |
