Bridesmaids - Black dresses with blue necklaces

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:15:00 PST

I have chosen to ask my bridesmaids to supply their own attire, I'm asking all the bridemaids wear a black dress and blue necklaces with black shoes. My flower girls will be asked to get white dresses and I am going to find blue sashes to tie around the waist Ring bearers will be in black slacks and black shirt with a blue or white tie. My groomsmen will be in the same attire as the ring bearers only with the other color of tie so one will be blue and one will be white I'm doing a pretty informal wedding.

Ask a Question - LIGHT'S,NEED A LITTLE HELP

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:21:00 PST

I know I've posted that I love the look of this photo and want to get this look for the reception. I am not allowed to have candles and my lights don't dim, in this photo it almost looks like they have no lights on any ideas how to get this look? Do i just turn off the lights and use the led lights and light up ice cubes? Since I have a wall of windows it lets in a lot of light, I have a photo posted of it a few posts down. Thanks for the help!

Ask a Question - How are you getting your reception and ceremony Decor set up the day of?

Are you setting up your tables and decor the day of, the site or maybe a family member? That's my biggest worry is everything not getting set up.

Ask a Question - what do you think about this location for a winter wedding reception

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:00:00 PST

I thought about the shelters at parks and lakes and looked it up on the internet, found this one that holds 175 people and we only have 100 invited, I'm sure they all won't come some are to far away and others just don't attend family things anymore so we'd have the room to dance, it has tables chairs bathroom and kitchen plus the wall of windows so we could see out at all the snow if i'm lucky and we get snow if not it's still pretty right? What do all you ladies think about this site? also found this other one I like that the kitchen is away from everything with this one but the windows aren't as great UPDATE: I CHECKED INTO THE RENTAL RULES AND SUCH OF THIS LOCATION, NOT TO BAD. THEY CLEAN THE SITE BEFORE HAND BUT IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WHEN NOT IN USE SO THERE IS A CHANCE SOMEONE COULD MESS IT UP AFTER IT IS CLEANED SO WE'D NEED TO BE THERE EXTRA EARLY JUST IN CASE. IT'S A PARK SO NO SMOKING IN THE BUILDING OR THE PARK AND NO WINE,BEER ECT. THAT IS FINE BECAUSE I WAS THINKING OF DOING OUR TOAST WITH CIDER OR SOMETHING TO KEEP WITH THE WINTER THEME.THE RENTAL TIME IS FOR FOUR HOURS SO I'D NEED TO BOOK FOR THE FULL DAY BUT IT'S STILL NOT BAD ON PRICE AT ALL. NOT SURE YET IF I CAN HANG ITEMS FROM THE CEILING OR NOT. ALSO NO CANDLES ALLOWED NOT SO SURE I AM HAPPY WITH THAT.

Ask a Question - Anyone know how to make these or maybe just an idea?

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:57:00 PST

I love these for the flower girls since it will be winter I plan to have them carry something like this instead of flower baskets only I have no clue where to get them or how to make them, If i can figure out how to make them I'd like to do one white, the second one blue and the last one silver but just a thought not sure how hard it is to make these. Any help would be great. Also anyone know any good places to find the wings for the girls?

Inspiration Board - Just some more ideas

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:47:00 PST

These are just a few ideas I am thinking about. Only 6 more weeks and I'll be moved back to Ks so I can finally start shopping and booking the hall and ect. Our move Date is set for October 16th but my guess is I won't be on here much the week before if at all and it's a two day well three day drive with kids to get there so I'll be off for a while but then back to go shopping!

Ask a Question - How far away from your home is your wedding location? How far will your guests have to drive

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 06:40:00 PST

Just wanted to see how many weddings are close to home and how many are 30 min or more away. The farthest I have drove for a wedding is 2 1/2 hours away but it was in the brides home town.

Travel - Horse and buggy!

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:23:00 PST

Change in plans! - Date and wedding theme have been changed....

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:10:00 PST

We've moved our date a little sooner due to his deployment. The new date is Dec 5th 2009! A winter wonderland wedding! The location is still the same for the reception and still no church yet but we have a while. I love the fake white fur and the jewels! I'm not 100% on colors yet I'm not doing red and green or anything Christmas. I have seen blue and silver but I've also seen reds used and I like all three so I'm not sure yet. See how it goes I guess.

Ask a Question - For your reception are you having a band,dj or neither?

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:19:00 PST

Ladies heres a question for you..... For your reception will you be having a band, dj, or a radio for your music.

Ask a Question - lighting

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:06:00 PST

If i want to go with this look for the reception I'd need all the lights off right? Would my pictures turn out since it would be dark? Any ideas on how to get this look?

update on bridal shower - I'm planning my sisters

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 15:10:00 PST

Here's my plans for shower number one: The Theme is Bed and Bath We are holding it in my grandmas church free of charge. Decor: pink balloons every where, a towel cake Pink and orange food and drinks only Guest book, I plan to get a group photo of all the guests and place in a frame that all the guests have signed. It will be held in March two months ahead of the wedding so the Second one can be held the month before the wedding. Prizes for the games will be bath soaps and oils in little baskets Games: Name everything in the bedroom that starts with the brides name, name everything in the bedroom that starts with the brides name, everyone wears a pin you lose the pin if you say any wedding words. I'm still working on shower number two something to do with her kitchen and dinning room I know I do have a book that's pink and it will hold index cards, I'm sending a card with every invite and asking for their fave recipe for her book Will also be doing the photo frame guest book for this event also the frames will be small like 5 by7 or so that way they won't take up to much space on her walls but she'll always have them to remember her showers! Still have the bach party the plan to! I love planning all this stuff it's fun and exciting !

Ask a Question - Church reception or a hall?

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:03:00 PST

Here's a question for all your ladies...will you hold your reception in the church or a hall? And Why? What really is the difference between a hall or the church? Other than some churches are a little smaller than others. The church down the road has a basket ball court in it! Perfect place for a reception. It's huge and lots of room to dance and have fun. I have also wanted a garden wedding but due to our date it will most likely be raining so I am letting go of that dream and holding our wedding in a church witch makes the groom very happy :) I'm unsure about the reception weather it will be in a hall or the church. I'm looking at the pro's and con's of both the number one difference i have found is price you pay a small fee for the church and then 1,000 or more for a hall.

Ask a Question - Honeymoon stays..

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:00:00 PST

How long is the normal honeymoon? Just a few nights or longer? Where will you be going for your honeymoon?

Just bought my glow sticks - So I'm doing a surprise gift for my man...

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:49:00 PST

He loves the techno type of dancing with the glow sticks so instead of a first dance since he hates to dance I am going to have a show put on for him. I went to the dollar tree today and just happened to run across glow sticks and the necklaces and bracelets! I picked up 12 of them with 6 in each packet, I plan to place them on the tables or at least half the tables in a vase or something as the center piece and for the younger guests to use on the dance floor and favors. This is just one of the ways that our day will be special! I am so excited about it!

Ask a Question - Rain on your wedding day? Good Luck or Bad?

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:41:00 PST

The Proposal - Our story

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:56:00 PST

So here's our story........... We've been together now for eight years, married 7 of them. We always knew we'd get married but not as soon or the way we did. You guessed it court house wedding that only a handful of people knew about, a few months later we had our first. Three kids later we are finally getting the wedding I've always wanted well as close to it as i can get lol. There really never was a proposal or any of those things a girl always dreams about but never the less we are as happy as ever. My husband is in the army getting deployed for his third time in two months, when he returns we will be re newing our vows on our 9th anny instead of our tenth. I want my dream wedding but it has to be on a tight budget so it will be pretty simple. I have always dreamed of a garden wedding but with our date in April I'm worried about it. i found a great place that we can afford and it's pretty good deal since it's in the week and not a weekend we get the whole gardens and reception building for under a grand for the whole day! I'm really excited about it. Now just to book the place lol. I plan to include our kids in the wedding party and any other way I can. Of course we won't be getting that grand honey moon this time either but I'd like to at least get a weekend away from the kids and our home. Happy planning to all you brides to be!
