This is scheri's Chocolate Wedding!

Just had it done yesterday. Fantastic!

Anyone thinking about doing the same?

Showers used to be all-women tea parties, but these days just about anything goes. While women-only affairs are still popular, many grooms are getting their feet wet with a couples shower. Sometimes called a Jack and Jill, this pre-wedding bash includes male and female guests.

My MOH is the BEST. Kari is planning a Jack and Jill for (147) people OMG what fun!

I am doing a floral centerpiece for tables. However, thought these martini glass ideas are great and would be so inexpensive. Great DIY project.

Martini glasses online at

a Canadian Website

Not to forget our sisters in the United States.
How many of us on this site are from USA?
My bet is 95%. We are always out numbered.

I would love to connect with some Canadian brides. We would share some of the same problems and maybe have solutions.

Well with your help, I decided not to scratch wearing my birdcage veil for my pictures and ceremony. I have my second fitting for my Allure Gown on May 22, 2008 and I will take it with me to try it. If it looks good then I will wear it.

I am posting pics of Birdcages I collected months ago in my search.

Thought this would be interesting to see what days.
I think Sat will be number one with Friday number two and Sunday number three

How many of us are using the personalized stamps? It was a must have in my budget. They look fantastic on the outer envelopes.

I need a cool head to help me make my decision.

I ordered my birdcage veil (7) months ago and then made the mistake and talked about it and how happy I was to be wearing a veil as I am not a first time bride and the birdcage veil really looked perfect with my dress for the ceremony and pictures.

Unfortunately, my FI niece who is getting married this June decided to get a birdcage veil. Yes, she came over with her black birdcage veil to show me. I was gracious and asked her if she had a fascinator for the veil and she said she could not afford. Therefore, what did I do I gave her a fascinator I had in black with feathers that I had for a beautiful hat I have.

Now the questions is Do I wear my birdcage or is it now going to look like I copied her?

Help?

Thought I would update my blog
Busy weekend

As requested

Have you given much thought to your FI hair and facial hair for the wedding?
I am asking because I think I will ask Brian to go clean shaved

Hi ladies,

HELP! Well I recently was asked what I was going to do with my wedding dresses after the wedding.
I found a company that takes donations of Bridal Gowns that they then sell at a nominal fee to people who cannot afford a dress. Now I am confused……I checked into the cost of cleaning and storage as I thought that is what I would do.

What are you going to do?

Have you selected your cake? Well I found a great site.
Checkout www.my-wedding-cake-ideas.com
Wish I found this site earlier.

So are you helping with the selection of the Groomsmen’s gifts? On the other hand, is this one of the few things you have left to your fiancé?
Are all the men getting the same item? Or have you selected individual gifts?
What are you giving as a gift?

Well ladies it is starting to come together. Got our engagement photos from our fantastic photographer. I have ordered personalized stamps from Canada Post of the close-up for our wedding invitations.

I am so pleased. It was minus 10 degrees and windy and I kept putting on my coat in-between shots. My hair took a beating but overall he is the best!

Anyone in Edmonton, AB Canada needs a fantastic photographer call Chris Stambaugh
He was won “Best Wedding Album in Canada” for the last (2) years. He is worth every penny! Check out his website.

Anyone using crystals rather than flowers?
Think this might be an idea for destination weddings?

Hi girls,

Which fragrance are you considering for your wedding day and why? I am still deciding between a few options. I want something floraly and fresh, any suggestions?

Hi Ladies,

I am going to do a crystal comb for the pictures and ceremony and a headband for the reception

So what has everyone decided to do for hair accessories?

Oh boy was this a busy but fun week.

Went on Tuesday for fitting of my Allure gown for pictures and the ceremony. Ivory sweetheart neckline with straps and silver details.

Went tonight for fitting on my Sophia Tolli gown for the reception. Ivory strapless sweetheart neckline with gold accents.

Needless to say had to get shoes, purse, jewellery, hair accessories and undergarments for each dress. I am actually tired of shopping. Naw just slap me! Laughs

Now it feels like it getting closer

So where did you guys find your bag? What style did you select and why?
I have been looking for months and then yesterday I found this bag at
BCBGMAXAZRIA - Satin Bow clutch...I can only use it for my second dress - Sophia Tolli at reception beacuse the hardware is gold but I have another silver one for my picture and ceremony dress.

So have you done a trial for make-up. What was your inspiration?

Anyone have an idea on what to do for our nails for the wedding?
Worried about the manicure taking over from the ring.

Kellydave4ever gave me an idea for this post.

Thought this would help those who are not that familiar with flowers so they can see pics of the flowers they may want for their wedding.

Good luck!
