Wedding Flowers
I Mixed Real & Fake!
I posted before the wedding, asking if I should mix silk and real flowers in my bouquet because I wanted Hydrangeas, and were totally out of season and there was no way I could afford them!
Well, everyone voted against doing real & fake, but I did it anyways. haha. Honestly, no one knew except for me, plus, it was more of a filler than anything. So, If you're wanting a specific flower but can't afford it, defiantly go to a craft store and look for the most real fake flower (big oxymoron) you can find! In my bouquet, I had white roses, stock (it was supposed to be white, it did have a greenish cast to it), stephanotis, and my super fake hydrangeas! My BM's just carried 3 bunches of fake hydrangea tied together with real leaves! Just an Idea! |

Ask a Question
I think I found another dress I love more...
Uh Oh.
I knew I should not have been looking for at wedding gowns, but I peeked when I went into Davids Bridal and saw the most stunning gown I have ever laid my eyes on. Here is where the problem presents itself; I have already purchased my gown from Davids, and I don't know if I can return it for an in-store credit since I bought it on Sale. I am going into the store tomorrow to ask them about this, and to try on the dress...oh, the other problem is that it is about $700 more than the one I have previously bought! My Question to you ladies is, to stick with a gown that I already have and that I don't absolutely love, but I'm "in like" with it or would you go and get the gown of your dreams?! haha. I'm stuck. Has anyone where dealt with Davids and exchanging items? I can't find anything on their policy online! |

Isn't it pretty!?
from website: Originally the Providence Academy, a boarding school for girls founded by Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart in 1874. At that time, the three-story Catholic school was the largest brick building north of San Francisco. It is now home to a variety of businesses as well as a three-story chapel and a 5,000-square-foot ballroom which is rented for weddings and other functions." |

Silk + Real Flowers? Opinions please!
Help. I need to know if my idea is dumb/tacky/trashy/impossible etc etc etc...
I want to get hydrangeas for my bouquet, butthey are ridiculously expensive and have to be ordered from some third world country in November...I found some awesome silk ones at Micheal's; here's the idea- I use the silk flowers and then add in real flowers, so it's half and half. Thoughts/Ideas for white flowers that resemble hydrangeas? |

The Monogram
Made by Me!
The Monogram "A" in the center is the same font as our Monogram Cake Topper covered in crystals, so it matches, perfectly!!
I don't know exactly where to use this monogram within our decor, but I just wanted to share! I can adjust the colors, depending on what it goes on. If you have any unique ideas of places to print this, let me know, I'm stumped! |

Ask a Question
How could I convince him to exchange vows?
I really, really, what us write & exchange vows before we say 'I do'.
My Fiance says "absolutely not" because he doesn't think its something we need to say in front of everyone, and I can respect that...but do you have any ideas how we can exchange vows, but maybe not publicly, but in a memorable way where we can both get what we want? |
