I just finished the memory books for my sister (MOH) and I which we will carry during the ceremony. While they were pretty easy to make, filling them has been a true labor of love. I put pics and...

Linda E: Fairy Godmother in Planning, on April 28, 2012 at 11:37 PM

So, FH is talking to his son today and asks him if he would like to be in the wedding as his BM - now he already asked his brother to be his BM last Thanksgiving, but FH said he was sure his brother...

Linda E: Fairy Godmother in Community Conversations, on April 20, 2012 at 11:56 AM

Linda E: Fairy Godmother in Do It Yourself, on April 12, 2012 at 9:39 PM

Still torn between using real or silk for the bouquet that will be attached to the memory book I am carrying. Had leftover silks from my pomanders so thought I would mock one up. This is not a...

To bustle or not to bustle?
Linda E: Fairy Godmother in Wedding Attire, on March 15, 2012 at 10:40 PM
