Ask a Question - Will you help me find this shape??

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:19:00 PST

Michaels is starting to get on my nerves. Well.. the store near me anyway. Every time I go in there & try to get 2 of something they only have ONE!!!! JUST ONE! Well I NEED TWO!.. I've even tried to order something through them & they said they would call me when it came in. They never called! Ughh. It's very annoying and inconvenient. And I also go in there every week to see if they would order more being that the shelf is friggen e m p t y! But NO!! Okay.. I think that's the end of my "Michaels Rant"!! :) If you of you ladies know where else I can get this plaque from Paa-lleeaassseee let me know?!!! I'm using these for our Mr. & Mrs. signs for our table at the reception. I've finished the Mrs. sign & now I just need another plaque to do the Mr. sign!!

I had a $10 off my next order from Victoria Secret so this is what I used it on. I got this bathing suit in pink. I love how girly it is & the ruffles! :) Can't wait to wear it!! <33

BUT I'm done & I love it. :) I'm also finished with my cardbox.. I just have to attach the letters to it. What do you girls think?

Ask a Question - What are your thoughts on a co-ed Bridal Shower?

Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:52:00 PST

I wanted to ask you girls what you thought about a co-ed bridal shower..(Is it called something else if it's co-ed?) Have you ever been to one? Are you having one yourself? I've been to one before and at first, I thought it was a little weird that the guy was there. But I have been thinking about it lately. I don't know if I should go ahead and do the traditional bridal shower without him there or go ahead and let him be involved with the gifts as well. My reason being.. My fiance & mother-in-law has friends at my fiance's church & I'm sure they would like to get an invitation BUT they really don't know me all that well. They would most likely come to support us because they know him. So.. Is it weird that I'm having a hard time in making this decision? ETA: The bridal shower is going to be at my fiance's church. So that is another reason I was thinking it would be nice if he got to come.

DIY Wedding - DIY mock-up centerpiece. What do you girls think?

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:48:00 PST

Here is my mock-up centerpiece. For the final centerpiece I want it a little more fuller at the bottom. I haven't gotten my fuchsia rose petals yet so I had to use some hydrangeas I had. What do you girls think?

Ask a Question - Where will you & FH live after wedding?

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 10:35:00 PST

I wanted to ask you girls this question because FH & I are dealing with this right now. We had a plan set already but a really great opportunity came our way & now we are considering other options. Where are you & FH going to live after the wedding? If you don't already own a house, when do ya'll plan on buying a house?

DIY Wedding - My Floral Initial! What do you think?

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:52:00 PST

I got this idea from WeddingBee. :) Here is my fuchsia floral initial. I'm going to do an A also for FH. I wanted to ask ya'lls opinion before I do. If it looks bo-bo then I don't want to slave over doing another when it might not be worth it. I'm going to put them above the fire place at our venue. So girls, Whatcha think? Should I do the A?

Received my linens today! - Linentablecloth.com review

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 15:04:00 PST

Yay!! I love getting Wedding goodies in the mail :) I ordered 8 white 120in Polyester tablecloths & 1 85x85 fuchsia overlay. They were really quick & I've heard nothing but good things about them. I opened the fuchsia tablecloth because I wanted to compare it to the fuchsia on my pomander balls. It matches perfectly :) Except for one thing.... There is a brown spot on it :(. I immediately called them & they are just going to mail me another one. Yay!!! :) I actually got to talk to a person on the phone & not an automated recording! Those are so annoying. So I'm sureee I'm still going to use the one with the brown spot & I can just cover it up! So I would recommend ordering your linens from them!

Ask a Question - Help! Do you think these match?

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 10:09:00 PST

Some of you girls may know but, our wedding is going to be Damask with light pink & fuchsia. I'm wondering if this bouquet set that I LOVE is going to clash with the fuchsia pomander balls that I've already made. I wasn't planning on having hot pink any where in the wedding. But.. I just LOVE these bouquets. 2nd & 3rd picture: This would be my bouquet. LOVE :) 4th & 5th picture: This is the MOH and BM's bouquets. Maybe they can just all be light pink and white, instead of hot pink & white. Idk, What do you girls think? Will the hot pink clash with my fuchsia or do you think it'll all flow together? {Pictures 6-8 are the pomander balls that I've made}

Ask a Question - How much are you paying for a DJ?

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 18:37:00 PST

Hey girls!! I just got off the phone with my potential DJ. He quoted me $375 from 3pm-8pm. He has to set up outside for the ceremony & inside for the reception. I think that's a good deal. How much are you girls paying for your DJ? If you aren't having a DJ, what are you doing?

DIY Wedding - My Memo Board Poem/Frame!

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:25:00 PST

Here is my Memo Board/ Wishing Board Poem that I'm going to use. I'm going to set it up like picture #2 (my mock-up). I found this poem on Aimee114's blog! I'm going to put it to good use :). The Poem: These cards will be for our wedding book, a modern twist on the standard look. As we begin our journey, a brand new Mr. and Mrs. we could surely use your advice and good wishes. Jot down a memory, a reminder of the day. Draw a doodle or picture if you're not sure what to say. Share with us your Wisdom about Marriage, Love, and Life, the secret to being a good husband or a thoughtful, loving wife. Please don't forget it would be such a shame to hang your card on the board without signing your name. Whatcha ladies think?

Bridal Brooch Bracelet - What do you think?

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:07:00 PST

I am in LOVE with this bracelet! :) I love brooch bracelets, period!!! I can't wait to order this & show you girls what it looks like on my wrist. I wanted to get a "statement" piece for my wrist because I'm going to go for a little less BAM for my earrings! What do you girls think?

Ask a Question - ALL about the GUYS: What's the sweetest thing he's done..

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:37:00 PST

Hey Ladiess!! :) I wanted to ask you girls.. What is the SWEETEST thing your FH has said/done to you/for you?? I'll go first.. One day when I was gone, FH decided to go to my house & do a little decorating (& NO it wasn't with new furniture or anything, lol). As I was walking in I didn't notice anything right away until I walked into my room & I see cut out construction paper hearts saying little things that he loves about me. He strung them to the ceiling with yarn, lol. He's so crafty ;). I was not expecting that at all. It wasn't b/c it was our anniversary or b/c it was my B-day. He did it just because he wanted to. I thought it was so sweet. I also love when he leaves little notes in random places for me to find. :) It always brightens up my day! Ok girls, lets hear it, YOUR TURN! :)

Ask a Question - What songs are you playing @ the ceremony & reception?

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:56:00 PST

Hello girls :) I am having the worst time trying to think of some romantic/sweet/wedding worthy songs!! I have 2 songs that I know I want played: 1. Ray Lamontagne- You are the best thing 2. Colbie Caillat- I do And... That is it!! My list is pitiful! FH is going through his music & picking some songs also, but I need some help. What are some songs that ya'll are playing? What are the songs that you are walking down the aisle to?

DIY Wedding - Our Guest Book/Memory Board: Done!

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 18:06:00 PST

Here are our damask memo boards! We are going to use these for our "guest book". I found a poem I could use for it also :) I thought that they could either write their name, a memory they have with us, or wedding wishes. I wanted to do something different other than the traditional guest book. I bought both of these from Hobby Lobby during their sale & I got one FREE! I added white ribbon and some light pink buttons :) I also added some hanging gems (kinda ties into the pomanders I made). What do you girls think? Before: After:

Ask a Question - How do I make this?

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 17:39:00 PST

I watched Nick and Vanessa's Dream Wedding on TLC & I went on TLC's website and they had pictures of their decorations. I found this floral arch & I have been dieing to know how to make this. Do you girls have anyyy idea? In the 2nd picture it kinda shows what they are sticking the flowers into but I can't tell what it is. I just want to decorate the top with flowers and have some draping on the sides. It'll be a little more affordable that way. Can you lovely ladies help mee???
