This is yorkis9410's Purple Wedding!

Hey ladies! ive been really really busy at work, home and doing wedding stuff that i havent been able to post anything up. but i will soon! i have bought alot of things for the wedding and the process is moving along quiet well, Thank GOD!!! =)

Just wondering how u ladies are doing and how everthing's coming along for you.???

Well i love shoes, and for my wedding i want the perfect shoes.
I have found 2 that I absolutely love!
Im thinking about dying the first ones purple lol but my mother (her being so traditional) flipped out and said what is wrong with you, you have to buy them white or ivory!! Haha, whatever let see what happens... =)

the 3rd pic is a style a like to try on, ive always liked wedges so we'll see. lol.

So im wondering what do i put on the guest tables, cloth napkins or paper napkins? Or maybe i could do both? i was thinking just the paper napkins for everything, that match my wedding colors?
My wedding is buffet style is not sit in, so its not incredibly formal, but I do want to keep it nice =)

the 1st picture is how i would like the cloth napkins to be displayed on the tables.
the 2nd are the paper napkins, i dont think i want them personalized, its just to clean ppls mouths anyways... lol!

So ladies opinions, opinions plz! thank u. =D

I found the dress! After a 2 month and all day today search and after 3 stores i found the dress for me! It was not one that I had picked originally, but i just knew it was the one from the moment she slipped it on me! I started crying it was really an awesome experience, i felt like a bride. Many props to the consultant at the bridal shop, she has a great eye!!!

Ok, so for any ladies that live in Northern NJ
its at: Arlene's Bridal Salon 606 Bloomfield Ave. Bloomfield, NJ 07003
The lady that helped me was Debbie. #973-743-9056.

They carry a whole bunch of lines, my dress is from MoriLee, seriously a lovely designer! =D

i havent written in a while, and a lot has happened... so ill start with my near nervous breakdown about our reception hall.
So i was thinking that the hall we have was going to be too small for the amount of ppl i have on the guest list, so i started thinking maybe i should switch halls. Ohhhh what a mistake!!! my FH got sooo upset with me =(
He told me that its too late that we wont get the deposit money back and a few other things. But my stubborness didnt let me budge, i decided to disregard his reasons for not getting another hall and i went reception hall hunting. Well to my disappointment i didnt find any in my budget, or big enough, or with the date of my wedding and there was no way ever that we're changing our wedding date! lol
So I admitted that i was wrong to my FH and learned to love the hall we have now =)
I have faith that the reception hall will look awesome and that everyone will fit comfortably.

so yeah thats my story, lol. i know I'll have a few other changes of mind later on, but im sooo blessed to have such a wonderful FH that can just bring me back to reality but at the same time just want to make my dream wedding happen! =D

*I posted some picture of the our current hall so you ladies can see, maybe you can give me some decorative ideas...*

Thanks in advance!

So yeah my Bms are finally complete after I had asked two good friends to be the 4th one and both of them couldnt for their own specific reasons. Anyways... I'm pretty happy now I have all 4 girls and my MOH!! Love them!!!!
Ok so were gonna start naming them and how they are close to me! =)
The first one is my BFF, my MOH if you dont know the story scroll down its right there all typed up ;-)
The first pic on the top right, They are my cousins TWINS!!!! Rosemary and Rosiris, They will be 15 by the time of my wedding, theyre are like my sisters and i wouldnt think of anyone better than them to be part of the BM group!
Second pic, my great friend Geraldine!!! or how i call her "geralds" lol
I love this girl to pieces! Ive known her since Junior High school and weve been good friends since. She is currently based in New Mexico cuz she's in the air force. But for the wedding she'll be done and she'll be here with me to celebrate the big day!
The last one is Ms. Rosa!! Rosa and I havent been friends long, for about a year now, but I chose her to be my bridesmaid,cuz shes madd cool and well we've been getting to know each other and she has shown me shes pretty awesome person and friend!

So ive been looking online and have found 3 dresses that i absolutely love! and that they are a little different when comes to the straps, but are all A-line and nicely fitted to the body ;-)
I have only gone once to try on dresses and really liked one, but now the more and more i look at the picture of it on me i really dont like it anymore, boohoo....
But anyways i kept on searching and found 3 beautiful designs by Mori Lee: Madeline Gardner. And i have found a couple of bridal shops close by where they carry her designs but unfortunately these dresses that i picked are in her spring collection and are not in the store until late february or march... =/
But im not loosing hope! im going to try on more dresses, BUT i will not choose any one dress until i try these three! =0)


Sooo what do you ladies think? You like??? =)
