OUR WEDDING DAY
Finally MRS CLINTON after 21yrs.......
Hello WBC. After several weeks, I now have time to come back. I want to thank each bride for the comments, suggestions and support. My day did NOT go as scheduled but I have NO regrets. I was extremely happy. It was more than I could imagine.
Here are some pics taken by one of dear guests. The professional pics can be viewed at the following website: http://www.uniquetuxandphotostudio.com/ select ENGLISH, ONLINE PROOFS & ANTHONY & LATISHA I will post more guest photos later. |

Ask a Question
Trashy or semi-classy reception?
Due to the economy, I have to make some cut backs. This month our plan was to buy everything needed for the reception. Unfortunately, as of August 3, I am taking a pay cut. My FH has already taken a pay cut at his job, too.
So my new plan is to serve meatballs instead of chicken, a marinara sauce instead of alfredo, a purple signature drink instead of wine/champagne and the use the eco-friendly plates shown in the picture. We will still serve hors d'oeuvres, garden salad, breadsticks and a fruit salad. What do you think WBC? |

WEDDING INVITATION
I created the invitation in 3 layers: black, purple and white. The reception card is 2 layers: black and white. Each has a silver seashell stamp. The invitation has a purple rhinestone and the reception card has a silver rhinestone. This was a FAMILY effort in assembling this past weekend. They were mailed this week! HIP... HIP..HOORAY!!!

Ask a Question
Is anyone else having a WISHING WELL instead of GIFT REGISTRY?
This is the insert I included with my invitations:
Soon you will hear our wedding bell, As you, our family and friends wish us well. Our household thoughts are not brand new, We have twice the things we need for two. Since we have our share of dishes and bedding, We're having instead a wishing well wedding. But more important we ask of you, your prayers of love and blessings too! What do you think WBC? |

I blinged my BIRDCAGE VEIL.......
I wanted a veil that captured my personality. I did not find it so I wanted to create it. I started with a simple birdcage veil and added rhinestones and pearls.
Picture #1 and #2 are of my veils. #3 and #4 is a bride who has on purple shadow(lol). I love her complexion and the veil complements her so well. #4 is the inspiration behind the embellishments I added. So what do you think WBC? |

Wedding Dress
My first fitting..........
I went on Saturday with my daughters(the BRIDESAMIDS) and Cindy(MOH) for the fitting. I let my daughters go first because I was nervous. The seamstress who is a friend of Cindy's is just wonderful. She will be adding silver embellishments so that it will blend with my FH vest and tie. My MOH took this picture so that I can share with WBC.
What do you think ladies? |
