Wedding Reception

Shifting Sands

So I'm sooooo excited about my reception venue and I feel like i'm I'm also panicing about in inside...what the tables will look like, and will everything look as beautfiul as I imagined it... I'm still having such a hard time with centerpiece ideas.... I just don't know what to do!!

My fiance was SET on this place as soon as we got engaged. I honestly can say we didn't look anywhere else. He wanted it here. So I said. Ok baby. lol

Dress colors?!?!

Has anyone AFTER the dresses been ordered thought b/c of ONE comment that maybe you picked the wrong color dress?????

I had a panic attack the other night b/c somone thought there was hint of "grey" in the purple I got..and then I started thinking about the purples in my boquet and would it throw the color of the dresses off ???

I hope this panic is normal!!!

The SHOE

Do I spend a lot of money on a shoe or no?

So I've come across a shoe that is $159.00, it's blue and it's remarkable. Ok ok ok ok it's the knock off to Sex and the City's Manolo Blanhiks and my maids are telling me I need to go with the shoe!! Not only is it a fitting tribute since 3 of my maids are like the Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte in my life but now that I've found them I just have to do it!!!

I've been reading reviews however, and it seems this show isn't the most comfortable and it IS a 4" heel. My question is...Do I spend the money on them? Wear them for the ceremony, and the part of the reception that matters (1st dance, dad's dance, garter) and then change into something comfortable or skip the shoe and do something comfortable all round???? I mean, 9 out of 10 brides don't wear their pumps anyway the whole night right???

What's your thoughts out there fellow brides???

Bridesmaids

dresses....oh the discontinue list!

Well of course I'd pick the one gown I just LOVE for my girls (other than my 2 Matron of Honors to wear) and it would go on the discontinued "special value" list 5 days after I choose the dress! Now my BM's are having to pay IN FULL for this dress (however not expensive) NOW vs like January 2010??? MAN!!! But they are Gorgeous!!

The picture that is attached is them. The dress on the left with the blonde facing forward is what my 2 MOH's will wear and the far right is the discontinued dress my 4 BM will wear!!

The Proposal

Just an anniversary in my mind..NOT!

I'm sure every girl dreams of being asked to be someone's wife. The whole idea of getting on one knee. Opening that little box with to only make your eyes water and widen with the image of that sparkly ring inside of it. Just makes you grin from ear to ear doesn't it?

That was my experience, 5 weeks ago! Little did I know I'd had been sleepin on the ring for 3 days while it hid under the mattress, well box spring!

Dominic did everything perfect. Flowers, Balloons at our table (We went to the Melting Pot) and my favorite BUBBLES!! He had a bottle of White Star picked out for us...but until we actually sat down did he find out they were out of Moet and offered a bottle of DOM PERIGNON for half the price they sell it for!!! Out came the bottle in it's own black box that actually locked shut!!! I'll skip the funny stuff that happened all thru the night but he totally suprised shocked me by getting on one knee between Entree's and Dessert with the most BEAUTIFUL ring I could have EVER imagined!!! I cried, I laughed, I said ABSOLUTELY!!!

and now the wedding planning begins.....
